CAMPUS + LANDSCAPE

A cohesive and connected campus fabric fosters a vibrant academic and social community. Today’s educational experience necessitates both state of the art facilities as well as campus spaces that support interdisciplinary learning, living and recreation.

The design for the ASU Polytechnic transformed a decommissioned airbase into an inviting pedestrian academic district that celebrates the desert landscape. By segmenting the 245,000 sq. ft. program into five buildings, the architects formed four landscaped courtyards linked by a series of portals and arcades, creating a cohesive pedestrian campus. Through the removal of 14 acres of asphalt and concrete, storm water is slowed, captured in small detention basins and used to nourish the desert landscaping.

THE SPACES BETWEEN BUILDINGS ARE AS IMPORTANT AS THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES.

A cohesive and connected campus fabric fosters vibrant academic and social communities and creates a meaningful first impression upon prospective students. Today’s educational experience necessitates both state of the art technology and facilities as well as campus spaces that support interdisciplinary learning, living and recreation. As a result, the spaces between buildings can be as important to the success of an educational experience as the buildings themselves.

Effective campus buildings incorporate rigorous programmatic requirements while responding to the environmental context that will create purposeful relationships between facilities, campus spaces, members of your community and the learning process. The design of an individual building must start with a thorough understanding of a campus environmental and ecological context informing the configuration and articulation of the building, its surrounding campus spaces and the relationship between the two. Campus spaces for active and passive learning, socializing, and recreation should balance the need for privacy, a sense of security and social engagement.

HIGH PERFORMANCE INTEGRATED DESIGN

Simply defined, sustainable design is smart design that looks beyond the building and considers the larger context. We strive to create high performance buildings and engaging learning environments that enhance our understanding and relationship to the natural world.

WELL INSULATED ENVELOPE

Minimum R30 insulation in the roof and R19 in the walls along with thermally broken glazing systems substantially reduce conductive heat loss/gain

RAINWATER HARVESTING

Stormwater runoff from the roof is diverted into an underground cistern and is used for the landscape, reducing potable water demand by 50%

RADIANT HEATING

A hydronic radiant floor system heats the building during cooler months, eliminating the need for a traditional less efficient forced air system

INTERIOR THERMAL MASS

Works in concert with insulated envelope to mitigate interior temperature change throughout day when combined with radiant heating and night flushing

PHOTOVOLTAIC ARRAY

A 5.4 kw photovoltaic system on half of the building’s roof area leverages Santa Fe’s 300+ days/ year of sunshine to convert solar energy into electrical power

NIGHT FLUSHING

Taking advantage of wide diurnal temperature swings and the internal thermal mass design, the building is cooled in warmer months by night-flushing heat built up during the day through a central exhaust duct

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN SMART DESIGN

For over 30 years, Lake|Flato has employed practical and thoughtful sustainable strategies that conserve resources, engage nature and promote healthful academic and social environments. High Performance Integrated Design starts with intelligent passive strategies that reduce loads and minimize a building’s reliance on carbon based energy before active systems and equipment are applied to a building design. These strategies capture and leverage site resources such as daylight, breezes, and solar radiation to provide for the comfort and needs of occupants. Passive strategies minimize energy loads while contributing to healthful and productive learning and work environments

Through an interdisciplinary process, we define building performance goals at the initiation of the design and rely on a data based process to document passive and active strategies to reach those goals. Strategies are integrated based on data that demonstrates their ability to effectively lower energy loads while reinforcing the client’s programs or pedagogy. For many of our buildings, we collaborate with the client to gather actual building energy data that allows us to measure our progress towards our goal of carbon neutral design by the year 2030, in fulfillment of our commitment to the 2030 Challenge. The 2030 Challenge, is a national program to help reduce the impact of architecture on climate change.

Shaded three story open-air atria contain circulation and social spaces. The strategy reduced energy usage by 14% as compared to a traditional double-loaded corridor building and resulted in vibrant community spaces.

CAMPUS CIRCULATION

INTEGRATED DESIGN

During the earliest stages of design for the Biomedical Sciences & Engineering Education Facility at the Universities at Shady Grove, our team lead an Integrated Design Workshop (IDW) to define project aspirations and measurable goals focused on topics of energy, daylight, site ecology, and resiliency. Our deep green team of national thought leaders provided educational presentations on the key challenges and risks facing the project then solicited diverse input from leadership, user groups, professors, students, community members, contractors, and other owner approved participants. The IDW developed buy in and accountability for Aspirations, Goals, and Strategies.

This LEED Platinum designed building showcases the successful integration of shared space and active cross-disciplinary learning environments. Biophilic strategies drove design, sensitively considering culture, biodiversity, equity, access, wayfinding, ergonomics, indoor environmental quality, and problem solving. This resulted in a delicate environmental footprint that enhances the natural and the built environment.

Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is a building’s annual energy use per unit area. It is typically measured in kBTU per square foot per year. EUI is useful for comparing performance of buildings across sizes, types, and locations. The BSE is expected to have an EUI of 82 (before including solar power), which is a 36% reduction from a typical lab building.

The BSE is the central hub of student activity on campus where students can gather, study, interact, observe and be inspired. Animated laboratories, informal learning environments and flexible makerspaces open onto and activate a six-story atrium shaped by natural daylight with framed views of the surrounding landscape and wetlands. The visual connectivity between programs and floors encourage students and faculty to ‘look up’ and engage the interdisciplinary work and collaboration going on around them. Collaboration spaces of varying scales, exposures, furniture typologies, technology and acoustic separation line the perimeter of the atrium.

This iconic space is a symbol of multidisciplinary collaboration and has empowered occupants with spatial diversity and choice.

INNOVATION

21st century learning environments catalyze students to think creatively, work with peers in interdisciplinary ways, apply knowledge, and share this created content with their community and the world.

21ST CENTURY LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS MUST FOSTER COLLABORATION AND INSPIRE INNOVATION

21st century learning environments extend beyond the walls of the classroom. Through collaboration, interdisciplinary programs and technology, higher education increasingly occurs in common spaces, collaboration labs, informal seating areas and within the campus landscape. As a result, students learn as much from each other as they do through the teacher–student model. Forward looking spaces catalyze students to think creatively, work with peers in interdisciplinary ways, apply knowledge, and share this created content with their community and the world.

To create unique, innovative environments requires an equally specific process within which to design. Lake|Flato will help you dream , explore and innovate by facilitating interactive workshops, personal interviews, and online blogs that allow efficient communication between the academic community, institutional leadership and the project team. This dialogue creates unique, timely solutions that leverage an institution’s pedagogy and reflect its culture.

The EBB research facility challenges the silos of traditional laboratory design by creating engaging open lab neighborhoods centered around communal two-story breakout rooms with maximum transparency.

WEST SUN

Increased heat gain Glare issues

To achieve the project’s passive design goals for daylighting, energy, site ecology, and water, the design team created a narrow, vertical building with a light footprint. The interior is organized to provide maximum daylight, while locating spaces with high ventilation requirements and lower daylighting needs along the south and west facades. This program distribution resulted in labs that are highly visible, putting research on display as they borrow daylight and views from the adjacent open offices.

The Eco-Commons is a campusunifying ecological landscape overlay which sits on the major stormwater management tributaries that organize Georgia Tech’s campus. The Georgia Tech Krone Engineered Biosystems Building (EBB) activates the Eco-Commons, accentuating synergies between landscape and building by facilitating stormwater management, supporting ecological diversity, and implementing building support systems. By collecting all available non-domestic water sources, the building is able to provide 100% of its greywater and irrigation demand while also creating a continuous surface water flow that activates the surrounding landscape and wetland.

Lake Flato brought the highest level of expertise in every aspect of design and planning to our projects, listened to us, and delivered. The buildings they are creating for us are uniquely Cornell and will have a long lasting impact on our campus and the people who comprise this great university..

Margaret Carney, University Architect Cornell University

Cornell University’s new Multi-Disciplinary building will provide a dynamic interdisciplinary research environment for four distinct but overlapping programs within the spectrum of health, environmental policy and sustainability.

Surrounded by shared meeting and social spaces, a welcoming, daylit public stair anchors the plan and creates strong vertical connections between disciplines inviting researchers and their students to linger and gather over coffee, lunch or intermittent breaks fostering both community and collaboration.

The Laboratory layout has been conceived to promote radical interdisciplinary collaboration between Computational Biology, Cancer Biology and Immunology. The configuration also allows daylight to penetrate deeper within the building and promote views to the surrounding landscape.

Established during the integrated design workshop, aspirations for the University of Pennsylvania’s Amy Gutmann Hall focused on creating an environment that connects occupants, who work in a digital world, back to the natural environment. The building maximizes daylight and views, integrates ecological environments into interior spaces, and incorporates sensory stimuli that encourage collaborative social behavior and comfort. The building will be the first Mass Timber building in Philadelphia, and at 6 stories tall, it will one of the tallest Mass Timber structures in the region. The system both reduces the building’s carbon footprint by 52% relative to concrete and 41% relative to steel as well as contributing to a warm, tactile and welcoming environment.

ADAPTIVE REUSE

Through a collaborative process, Lake|Flato works with institutions to leverage challenging conditions and new programs to transform existing structures in a cost effective manner. We celebrate existing buildings and their unique programmatic components, actively engaging the campus and breathing new life into old buildings.

OUR TRANSFORMATIVE DESIGNS BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO OLD BUILDINGS

Adaptive reuse and renovation projects require a thorough understanding and appreciation of a building’s unique fabric and implicit qualities, both social and architectural, which deem the building worth saving. Lake|Flato honors the character of existing buildings by revealing and leveraging its unique aspects while integrating elements of modern design.

Renovations or an adaptive reuse projects offer an opportunity to transform both a facility’s purpose, functionality and aesthetic character as well as its role within the campus fabric. We look beyond the walls of a structure to re-energize the surrounding campus

The material palette and building systems must be carefully chosen to appropriately contrast or blend with the existing building fabric to reveal and accentuate the character of an existing building or structure. In all instances, the use of restraint is critical to respect and not overwhelm a structure’s inherent beauty

Finally, adaptive reuse is inherently a sustainable strategy. The building with the lowest embodied energy is the building that is reused. By leveraging a structure’s “good bones” our clients save money, minimize the energy used to fabricate or transport building materials and create a unique building.

HISTORY + PHILOSOPHY

Established in 1984, Lake|Flato has gained national recognition for architecture that is grounded in the belief that design and sustainability are inseparable pieces of a coherent, place-based approach to architecture.

In collaboration with our clients, Lake|Flato creates buildings that are tactile and modern, environmentally responsible and authentic, artful and crafted. We believe that architecture should respond to its particular place and be a natural partner with the environment.

We pride ourselves on creating and managing a structured and goal driven design process that focuses on multidisciplinary collaboration from conception to completion. We engage collaborators not simply consultants in a process based within a team environment where each members feels a sense of ownership for the design and outcome. We believe people support what they help create.

Understanding that the best opportunity to influence the project budget and design is early in the process, we invite all parties to participate in a two day Integrated Design Charrette during the programming and planning phase of the project. At the Integrated Design Charrette, experts in the fields of daylighting, energy management, site ecology and building materials along with students, contractors, and stakeholders provide the most current perspectives on social and economic issues that will come to bear on the building at hand. This diverse input at a critical point in the design process develops specific goals and measurable targets, resulting in a defined framework for understanding the Owner’s vision for the project. The entire Design Team can then use this framework to develop specific performance based strategies to develop and refine project documents.

We directly attribute building quality to building performance. We believe our emphasis on an integrated design process is what enables us to effectively manage budget, schedule, and quality while continually developing architecture that is contextual, award winning, and sustainable.
