CONCEPT F Street NW, located in the historic Penn Quarter neighborhood, became Washington’s commercial hub in the early 1900s. Stores and businesses lined both sides of the street for many blocks. The street coined the phrase “Heart of the Old Downtown”.

Although ways of life have evolved since the early 1900s, F Street NW continues to be a central hub for those traveling through Penn Quarter. Today on F Street NW, you’ll see restored 19th-centur y brick facades, many with elegantly adorned cornices, seamlessly integrated with modern residential and office buildings. The architectural interplay of old and new is also seen in the NEXT Hub.

MONUMENTAL STAIR The monumental stair is located in the center of level 10 leading to the center of level 11. Highlighted by NEXT Hub’s bright green, it draws users to the stair encouraging them to be used over the elevators.

A lighting element beginning in level 11 drops into level 10 through the stair opening leading users up. The stair defines the level it begins in as well as the level it is leading to and all of the spaces around.

Learning Commons Elevation NTS

RECEPTION The NEXT Hub Reception is located on Level 11 as soon as you exit the elevators. The Reception is located immediately adjacent to the Childcare space. The Reception allows those with children to check in the child to the childcare program and provides supplies for mothers needing to use the Mother ’s Room.

GREEN BUILDING STANDARD Various elements within the space contribute towards the Green Building Standard.

There are operable blinds in the windows so that the users can control the amount of light that enters the space. Water fountains are located towards the front of the space so that fresh water is accessible to ever yone. All users have access to the outdoor space for fresh air and daylight.

FLOORING MATERIALS All flooring materials are cradle to cradle sourced from Interface.

CEILING FEATURE The custom black slatted grid ceiling is installed by ‘Armstrong’. Individual wood boards are 2 1/4” X 2”. The wood boards are each 96” before a 2” gap in the grid pattern.

The ceiling guides users through the long space while framing the active area on level 10 and creates a stark contrast on the ceiling plane bet ween active and quiet space. The ceiling also provides acoustic help in the assumed louder space.

CONCEPT Located in Roanoke, Virginia - the site was originally a baker y/ bread warehouse in the 1920s. The space is celebrating the histor y and original architecture of the building, along with incorporating innovative solutions to create an efficient workspace.

Herman Miller furniture was strategically placed in order to create the most efficient work strategies for the users of the space.

Various positions and levels of privacy allow for integration of disciplines within the space.

MAIN ENTRY The main entrance into the research center allows users to immediately experience the full height of the space. This promotes the use of the main stair to advance to the second stor y in the space.

Way -finding techniques such as a change in flooring to delineate main circulation paths, printed floor plans displayed on the wall, and signage for each classroom, create an ease to the user ’s experience.

Section NTS

VR ROOM Located on the second level of the space, students and staff are able to partake in a space dedicated to interacting with virtual realit y. This specialized space has a large screen for onlookers to observe what those using the VR goggles are experiencing.

The design and placement of the mezzanine within the center of the space, acts as a threshold when walking into the librar y.

Floor Plan NTS

CONCEPT Located in Blacksburg, Virginia, this facilit y provides an inclusive, inviting, and customized space that meets the changing needs of the growing communit y.

BLACKSBURG PUBLIC LIBRARY

The librar y acts as a communit y hub for all ages within the area.

The librar y bridges the gap of the var ying generations that utilize the space. Customized elements for each generation were designed in order to give each generation a personalized space.

MAIN FLOOR

BOOK MACHINE

Circulation paths within the space are evident in direct paths created through shelving and furniture placement. The contrast of white and black, further emphasizes the growth of the Blacksburg communit y and the juxtaposition of old and new. The wood warms the space while carpet placement acts as way finding for the users.

CAFE ‘Grind’ is a place for the users to lounge and study in a “cafe like” environment. Local Blacksburg coffee and pastries are available for purchase.

CHILDREN’S BOOKSHELF

The cafe floor is raised, creating a more intimate, central hub area within the librar y. Through the use of natural light and simple materials, the space evokes a fresh, uncluttered atmosphere juxtaposing the shelving and books on the main floor.
