VISION-DRIVEN DESIGN

At the heart of every strong institution is a mission and set of values that capture the College or University’s culture and aspirations. A clear vision helps an institution define its objectives and articulate its commitment to a diverse set of stakeholders, including students, faculty and staff, benefactors, regents, local communities and the general public.

Affecting this perspective is a heightened awareness of global environmental problems and how every individual and organization is interconnected in this problem and its solution. Today, institutions are much more concerned about human health, environmental stewardship and their legacy. As a result, Colleges and Universities have broadened their values and vision to include social responsibility.

Vision-driven design goes beyond helping our clients save energy and reduce costs. It is about creating a vibrant, healthy environment that attracts the best and brightest students, faculty and staff while promoting productivity in learning and research. It is about providing an environment that is an ally in achieving the vision, articulating its values and simplifying operational complexities.

BNIM works closely with its clients to bring their values and mission alive in the campus environment. Since 1970 the firm has employed the best practices in sustainable design that take into account environmental and social performance in addition to financial performance. BNIM has developed an inclusive and collaborative process to insure that all stakeholders’ viewpoints are heard and considered. By bringing together the right team, state-of-the-art tools and proven methodology, we insure that the client’s vision is reflected throughout the project.

The result of this process is the creation of functional, beautiful campus places and spaces that embody the values of the institution and express its unique culture.

Price Gilbert - Crosland Tower Renewal GEORGIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY In February 2014, BNIM and a multi-disciplinary team of high performance, integrated design consultants were contracted by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia to provide comprehensive design services to adaptively reuse Price Gilbert Memorial Library and Crosland Tower on the Georgia Institute of Technology Campus. The two buildings will be transformed into Georgia Tech’s vision for the Research Library of the 21st Century.

The project is a critical initiative of the Campus Strategic Plan and vision for transforming the campus into a knowledgebased community, including deepening its connection and interaction with Atlanta and the State of Georgia and redefining the role of the University. Defining the Research Library of the 21st Century was an intentional, focused and informed process involving the entire campus.

The transformation is founded on changes in the way that students and faculty currently use the library, as well as future trends in library utilization on peer campuses across the country. No longer a building where knowledge is simply stored, Georgia Tech conceived of a place where knowledge is generated. Stacks of books will be moved offsite to create spaces for people, whether they want to study alone or discuss ideas in collaborative groups. To aid with the discovery of knowledge, the role of the traditional librarian will be redefined, shaping them into connectors who will assist students in bridging the gap between what they know and what they want to know.

The BNIM team utilized the community’s vision and roadmap findings to program and design the transformation of both buildings into a scholarly community of inspirational spaces. In the spirit of a knowledge-based community, the new library design aspires to be extroverted and porous, and it is well integrated and connected to the campus and community. Central to the long-term success of Price Gilbert and Crosland Tower is the concept of “long life, loose fit” — that the ability to address future, unanticipated needs is something that can be designed. Price Gilbert, with its open plan and high-ceilinged reading rooms, is already an exemplar of this mentality; the goal is to capitalize on and retain its adaptable nature while providing for the same at Crosland Tower. The renovation will create spaces that are functional, flexible, and have plentiful daylight and views. The design team is incorporating many sustainable strategies into the design, including chilled beams for cooling and LED lighting throughout the buildings. After the renovation, the population using the buildings will have doubled—the 1,250 seats currently in the buildings will grow to 2,360—yet total energy consumption will be reduced by about a third, and energy consumption per capita will be 80% less than what it is currently.

It is Georgia Tech’s top priority to renew these built assets and extend their useful lives. The improvements involve careful consideration of the building envelope, energy use, building systems, accessibility and life safety requirements, occupant health and well-being, and connection to the surrounding campus. When complete the two buildings will operate as one library composed of complementary yet individual architectures.

Patient-Centered Care Learning Center and School of Medicine UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, COLUMBIA The University of Missouri School of Medicine (SOM) was tasked with expanding its enrollment in response to a call from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) for all medical schools to increase enrollment by 30%. The SOM has partnered with CoxHealth and Mercy health systems out of Springfield, MO to create a clinical campus in Columbia, which will help meet a critical need for more physicians. This public-private partnership will bring transformational change by ultimately providing more than 300 additional physicians for the state, adding more than $390 million annually to Missouri’s economy and creating 3,500 new jobs.

When BNIM was selected to design the new space that will accommodate the growing number of students, the SOM’s initial approach was to vertically expand the existing Medical Science Addition (MSA) as a result of a feasibility study from 2004. However, changes in building code between when the MSA was constructed in 1987 and today would require adding reinforcement and bracing to the existing structure, taking money away from the project budget that could be utilized elsewhere.

BNIM’s team designed an alternative that called for new construction on top of the existing MSA, and also a small-footprint addition to the MSA’s immediate west side, which will significantly enhance the primary entrance to the SOM and create a street-side entrance for all of MU Health Sciences. This solution maximized the SOM’s budget and resulted in a more effective, high-performing design.

The SOM’s focus on patient-based care defined the ultimate design, which includes improved daylight quality, access to views of campus, more generous amenities for students, and an enhanced focus on providing a facility that promotes collaboration among students, faculty, and staff. By improving its technology, increasing lab sizes and providing additional space for first- and second-year medical students, the new SOM will become a recruiting tool.

The Center of Excellence for Energy Technology TARRANT COUNTY COLLEGE The Tarrant County College Energy Technology Center (ETC) will house the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) Program, as well as training programs for oil, gas and renewable energy technologies. Located in Fort Worth, Texas, on the TCCD South Campus, this facility sets a new course for development on a campus largely built in the 1970s and will be a premier training center for its students, faculty and the greater community. The project seeks to achieve and go beyond LEED Platinum with a goal of net zero energy use. Aggressive sustainability goals established by TCCD, and refined during programming, created a foundation for vetting project decisions. Lead by BNIM in partnership with Freese and Nichols, design was a collaborative effort involving faculty, administrative and campus facilities personnel.

With goals of LEED Platinum and net zero energy, the ETC will operate as a high performance building and will be a living, teaching and learning laboratory. The building will be a pedagogical tool allowing occupants to observe its inner workings and mechanics. Plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and structural components will be openly visible in strategic locations, giving students and visitors the opportunity to learn from the building systems on a daily basis. Digital displays will provide real-time feedback and informative data about how the building systems are performing. In essence, the entire building will become an instructional environment.

The project team worked to optimize energy use and enhance learning in the new facility, creating a physical expression of energy and education, key focus areas in the curriculum.

Conventional classrooms and computer classrooms will support lab workshop spaces, specifically tailored to the instructional programs. A public lecture hall will welcome the local community to learn about new technologies and innovative solutions through the unique design of this building. Collaboration areas at various scales will serve evolving student work habits.

Faculty offices and related administrative support spaces are also planned for the building.

McCain Auditorium Study KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Focused on increasing the use and viability of the venue, the design of the Kansas State University McCain Auditorium Study proposes a new addition to the west of the existing auditorium space that is conceived as a transparent volume to provide visual connections to the quad and the new exterior courtyard to the west. An additional multipurpose room element, elevated above the new lobby and clad in limestone, is held away from the box of the existing auditorium to allow light into the lobby and to emphasize the existing auditorium form. This design study improves the community outreach experience by adding a more intimate multi-purpose room/performance space and lobby improvements to the existing 1,800-seat auditorium, an opaque limestone box that houses the current lobby and auditorium.

ON THE BOARDS

Seaton Hall and Seaton Court Renovation and Expansion KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Over the last decade, the College of Architecture, Planning and Design at Kansas State University (APDesign) has undergone a miraculous ascendancy in stature and prestige among the nation’s graduate design programs. The only obstacle in the way of APDesign’s continued forward momentum is the quality and condition of its facilities. The nondescript and opaque buildings do nothing to promote the APDesign program and its innovative design research to a broader audience.

BNIM, in collaboration with Ennead Architects, is currently working on an addition and major renovations for the APDesign program. The team wanted to create a space that was atypical with respect to a traditional lecture classroom and more in line with the creative energy of APDesign. The overall project comprises of design studios in which students and faculty work together on projects, and technology-rich computer labs. A major component of the project is a new fabrication lab that features shared fabrication space, a metal shop and welding yard, wood shop, other specialty shop areas, and the full complement of support spaces. There is also a fluvial lab, which is a research and experimentation space for landscape architecture students.

OUR SERVICES

ARCHITECTURE At BNIM we believe that design quality can be defined as Restorative Design. As a result we are committed to producing work that maximizes human potential, productivity and health. Every project is committed to minimizing the consumption of resources, reducing waste and pollution and restoring natural systems. We believe that each work of architecture, no matter its size, should embrace its cultural, community, urban and natural contexts so that the final outcome defines an idea of the public realm. Our projects strive to create beauty and cultural meaning.

INTERIOR DESIGN BNIM offers complete interior design services, from initial programming and space planning to the final details of selection of furnishings, fixtures, finishes and equipment. Experience includes educational and institutional facilities, hotels, retail, restaurants, corporate and medical offices, theaters, housing, law firms and government buildings.

PLANNING + URBAN DESIGN BNIM is committed to providing holistic design and planning solutions at every scale. We believe in a vision for our communities that is founded on the lessons of the past, acknowledges the goals of the present, and promotes the dreams and possibilities of the future. Our planning services include community planning, urban design, sustainable community consulting, master planning, regional planning, environmental planning, and urban revitalization.

EXISTING BUILDING SERVICES Business owners are discovering that they do not have to start from the ground up to achieve a strategic market position. With existing building stock, owners can maximize cost savings, reduce resource consumption and improve environment quality within their facilities. BNIM’s holistic assessment of existing building performance informs owners how to teach their old buildings new tricks. Through building analysis, goal-setting and systems solutions, BNIM can transform existing building assets to sustain and advance fiscal, social and environmental value.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE BNIM Landscape Architecture offers expertise in site selection and analysis, stormwater management, master planning and detailed landscape design. Our philosophy is to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor environments, while minimizing the environmental impact of building projects. We create unique, memorable places that are healthy, efficient and responsive to the client’s and user’s needs.

SUSTAINABLE CONSULTING At BNIM, our commitment to sustainability is embedded in all aspects of our work. With Elements, our sustainable consulting division, our knowledge of sustainable design is available to clients and competitors who can benefit from our years of experience with LEED, access to resources, daylighting and energy modeling and the integration of these design principles with their projects. Elements improves the performance of buildings from the standpoint of energy and environmental performance and human health and productivity.

STRATEGIC WORKPLACE PLANNING Strategic Workplace Planning (SWP) is a philosophy. It is an approach to the design processes that drives the integration of knowledge and design. SWP is demonstrated by a pragmatic, business approach to design of the built environment. It is our mission to align our clients’ goals, business objectives, and values with the design of their space. Viewing the space as a strategic tool for building the value of an organization requires a deliberate approach to information gathering, analysis, application, and planning for the future. SWP establishes a framework to accomplish this.

GRAPHIC DESIGN Operating as an integrated team member within our architectural design process, our marketing and graphics studio provides a wide variety of design services from wayfinding systems to environmental design and interpretive signage, from event branding and program collateral to fund-raising packages, from identity development to web design.

Informed, progressive and sustainable solutions transfuse our process, resulting in a product that creates unique solutions for our clients.

RESEARCH BNIM is recognized as a leading national resource for innovation, research, design and new methodologies that continue to shape the national and global agenda for responsible architecture. Leadership in the architectural profession means establishing what is and what will be possible with sustainable design and ensuring that other practitioners readily have the tools to do the same. Through strategic partnerships with organizations such as Autodesk, the Packard Foundation and the Lean Construction Institute, we not only further our own work, but we develop tools and practices that ensure the continued positive transformation of our industry and our built environment.
