Utilizing Technology to Deliver [smart design]
B
uilding Information Modeling (BIM) offers an entirely new approach to the way we collaborate with you and the rest of the Design Team. Luckett & Farley Structural has become a regional leader in utilizing this project delivery method. With BIM, we deliver a working virtual model with all the information you and your facility managers need to monitor, maintain and upgrade systems like never before. Testdrive your facility, top to bottom, inside and out, before a shovel even hits the dirt. We can show you how. We also utilize laser scanning of existing conditions to create solutions via BIM, which decreases times and increases accuracy. The Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) process allows Luckett & Farley to integrate all disciplines during the early stages with the goal of not only improving overall building design, but testing future building system performance and sustainability. The linking of models gives each involved discipline updates and coordination more often as changes happen. These real-time updates greatly reduce analysis time, increase coordination effectiveness, and produce a more thorough product that Owners value. Since BIM

is embedded in the way we do business, this service and quality does not come at a premium, it’s just smart design.

Luckett & Farley MEP engineering has a long history of using unique strategies and tools to design high performing buildings. Our experience includes ground source heat-pump systems which utilize geothermal wells, variable refrigerant systems, combined heat power (CHP) systems, radiant cooling and heating systems, as well as heat recovery systems. From an engineering perspective, we work with our clients early in the design process and take a holistic look at their desires, expectations, and their complete site/complex. Taking a holistic approach early in the design phase allows us to account for all low-grade energy sources (ex. ground source and solar energy) and high-grade energy sources (ex. natural
gas and electricity) to provide efficient mechanical and electrical systems that meet each client’s financial and sustainable expectations while working closely with our in-house architects and interior design team to provide sustainable facilities.
ideally suited for improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings. The renovation of existing buildings is a truly sustainable approach, as the longer an existing structure/facility on a site is used the smaller the total energy footprint of that site becomes.
Additionally, many of the newer HVAC technologies available for buildings are

Why Design Still Matters, More Than Ever
Does design even matter? A good friend and fellow designer, one that enjoys critical and commercial success in the worlds of architecture and industrial design, posed the following question: Does design really even matter anymore? (Insert lengthy debate here.) Naturally, design matters. Businesses are increasingly nervous about
44 | Luckett & Farley 2015
spending capital on construction projects – both from the perspective of the balance sheet and, increasingly, the perspective of either positive or negative public relations. Accepting the new reality of the business of design, we no longer are required to be good stewards of our client’s resources alone. We too are challenged with the task of designing
spaces that are not only functional and beautiful, but also serve to pay the client back with dividends.
Designing the way forward A business must flex and change to survive. Thus, the most vital function of an office is to facilitate and accommodate this change.
The wrong solution in the wrong place can quickly snuff out organizational initiative. Bad architecture can drain business life in a variety of ways because the pathology of poor office design is so extensive: space that costs too much to run; leases that cannot be escaped from in times of recession; square footage that suddenly becomes too abundant or too scarce; cranky building forms that make face-to-face internal communication difficult; and design features that insidiously overvalue status. Above all, and often perilously underestimated, is the importance of the messages that are broadcast by the architectural imagery about the values of the organizations and of the people that work in them. Why decide the way forward when we can design the way forward? Good spaces that are well-designed can become the means by which the achievement of commercial objectives is accelerated. They can be instrumental in driving forward change. And in an increasingly fluid and unpredictable business environment, the relationship between success and the design and use of office space is critical. The comparison between the cost of accommodating a person per year and the income generated by that person over a period of time is becoming more and more important in the business model. Such
matrices inform top management of how well office space is serving business. They push architecture and interior architecture from being nothing but a nuisance to some, or simple decoration by others, into the bottom-line world of strategic management.
That was so last century In the middle of the last century, in an effort to distinguish themselves as serious professionals, designers created a system of talking points in order to better communicate with businesses. These points were then easily digested by and tracked by the client. They are generally concentrated as 1) discovery, 2) ideation, 3) refinement, 4) production.
Success is then measured after the project has been completed as determined by how well the problem was solved. In reality, architects and designers don’t solve problems, we work through them. The most innovative architects and designers, and the successful business always are eager to take it just one step further. The 20th century success story was about command and control. The successful company in the new century tells its story with vision and creativity. They will do so collaboratively wherein design is built-in and not tacked-on. Doing so any other way would be so last century.

Aric Andrew, Architect, AIA, LEED GA Director Higher Education
A
s Director of Higher Education, Aric is responsible for all aspects of the higher education market including project design, management and delivery. He leads a multi-discipline team of highly qualified design professionals who are experienced and focused on higher education design. Aric and his team consistently provide innovative
and creative solutions for an industry in constant motion. Aric is working on his second tour with the company—he first joined the Luckett & Farley team in 2001 and remained for 5 years before accepting a position as Facilities Architect for Oldham County Schools during which time he implemented a $90 million building program. He has over 25 years of architectural design experience, the majority of which has been focused on educational projects. Aric also serves as Design Manager at Luckett & Farley as a result of his tireless pursuit of design excellence.
Aric is a native of Trimble County, KY, and is a graduate of the University of Kentucky College of Architecture where he received several design awards including the prestigious Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Traveling Fellowship. He lists architecture not only as a job, but a hobby is well—he is currently working on renovating his home, which takes up much of his spare time. He also enjoys running, playing the guitar, painting, and spending time with his children, ages 19, 21 and 25. Aric has made it his mission to run a marathon every year until he is physically unable or a cure for cancer is discovered. His growing list of marathons include the Chicago Marathon, Derby Festival Marathon and San Diego Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon.

Carl S. Mudd, AIA Architect Higher Education
C
arl earned his Bachelor of Architecture from University of Kentucky, where he graduated Cum Laude. During the last eight years, he has gained progressive experience on a diverse set of project types at three award-winning architectural firms. Some of Carl’s strongest attributes include excellent design and technical skills, construction knowledge, and a great eye for detail. He’s also passionate about spreading sustainable design precepts through practice.

During the first five years of his career, Carl focused on higher education design, laboratories, healthcare, institutional, and civic projects. In 2010, Carl began designing for an international full-service design firm focused on contemporary architecture for various facility types. His experience ranged from high-rise structures, multifamily housing, recreational, commercial, institutional, and civic projects, including US Embassy complexes for the US Department of State. As a project designer, he
ensured that several projects satisfied quality standards, specifications, and design parameters. Before joining Luckett & Farley, Carl was a Design Associate at Michael Baker Jr., Inc. -- an international architectural and engineering services corporation. His focus was project delivery, scope, schedule, and budget, as well as the more technical challenges that come with industrial facilities and training academies.
Trisha Johnson, LEED AP ID+C, EDAC, KYCID, INRID Manager of Interior Design & Procurement
T
risha holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Louisville. Her design experience is diverse including, corporate, healthcare, hospitality, restaurant, multi-family, religious, institutional, & residential. She feels strongly that design should reflect the client’s needs and desires, even if the client hasn’t discovered those yet.
Trisha believes her primary role is to assist the client in discovering the key elements that are most important to their project scope and then making sure those are incorporated. On average, people only express five percent of what they think and feel, many times clients may not be able to clearly communicate their aesthetic thoughts and goals with the project team…this is where a psychology degree comes in handy. Trisha likes working closely with the client, asking the right questions, and gleaning information in a creative way in order to provide the best possible design solution. Trisha understands the importance of being on the cutting edge of design.
With so many new offerings and improvements available to designers, she constantly seeks out information on new interior products in order to ensure she is providing a well-rounded knowledge base for her clients. Evidence-based design is something that Trisha is dedicated to incorporating into projects. She showed this dedication by being the first person in Kentucky to become accredited and hopes to provide clients with a better understanding of the benefits evidencebased design can bring to their projects. In addition to EDAC, Trisha is also a LEED AP (ID+C) and has been a project team member for multiple LEED certified building projects.
