Design Phase: Design Development
This ongoing project is seeking to create a flexible, secure lab building for student and military applications at the military campus of Norwich University in Northfield, VT. The Cyber Fusion Center not only provides valuable program, but has a focus to satisfy broader campus goals of the university.
Design began in the interview phase, with an understanding of future campus planning goals established in an earlier masterplan conducted by Jones Architecture. Multiple sites were proposed to the university, each with their own unique set benefits in regards to campus planning, visibility, cost effectiveness and site preparation.
All material provided here is from the final Schematic Design package provided to Norwich University. The location of site 4, depicted on following pages, offered a position for: a highly visible showcase event space, a rework of a highly circulated campus gateway, and kicked off the development of a future quad for the campus.

BALL HALL RENOVATION STUDY
UMASS LOWELL
TEAM
Principal in Charge: Greg Burchard
Project Team: Bill Jacobs, Elona Habipi, Michael Ohrman
In collaboration with Page Southerland Page, Inc.
The study intended to investigate UMass Lowell’s needs, evaluate alternatives, and propose a preferred solution for a phased building renovation project before project funds are appropriated and final design begins. The Ball Hall Renewal Study was developed during a year-long project that started in June 2022. The study identified a final program for the departments and activities in Ball Hall today and alternative funding strategies for the renovation options.
The design team was responsible for preparing and coordinating 3D modeling and drawing files for existing condition phases and 4 separate 100,000 square foot full building renovation strategies.
Softwares such as Autodesk Recap, Autodesk Revit, Autocad, Rhino 3D, Enscape, Leica TruView, and the Adobe Creative Suite were all used to create material for this project.

PHYSICS OF LIVING SYSTEMS
MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY TEAM
Principal in Charge: Rick Jones
Project Team: Sam Clement, Michael Ohrman
The Physics of Living Systems is a research group, part of the Physics Department, led by Jeff Gore and Nikta Fakhri. Their focus is to “advance the understanding of living systems across scales.” The primary purpose of the project was to relocate the research group from an existing space off campus, to a new location centrally located on campus, in Building 4 of the “main group.” Their space needs included shared offices for the researchers with plenty of shared collaborative space for research discussions; and a lab, modeled after the group’s existing lab, with benching, environmental rooms, an optical lab, and a microscopy room.
For the new office suite, on the 3rd floor, the design maximizes the shared space for collaboration by placing mobile furniture and whiteboards in the long corridor that runs the length of the suite with a large open gathering space at the center, where larger discussions can take place. A voluminous vacant space on the 4th floor making up the interior of a ziggurat structure with 30’ tall ceilings was chosen for the new lab location. The design approach included a new mezzanine and stair to provide necessary space to fit the program.

This office suite renovation provided the “RLE” department with a flexible open office concept which can be replicated on other office suites within the building for future expansion of the department. The RLE department needed workspaces that have the opportunity to be reconfigurable as the department grows and changes over time. Utilization of demountable partitions within the center of the open office space gave tenancy to temporary residents of the suite. In the future when the department needs to add additional desks to the open office space, walls and furniture can be reconfigured without the need for a building permit or construction team. This office layout will have the potential to be mirrored along it’s edge for future expansion.

AREA PER UNIT: 775 SQ. FT
Seven guest homes have been arranged on the cliff side property edge of an existing winery in Mori, Italy. The collection of homes are intended to offer a scenic retreat for individuals and couples, embedded into the agricultural grounds which they are learning from. Alongside the guest homes, pavilion event space, group dining, a staff kitchen and service spaces improve the hosting capabilities of the existing winery.

Alternate Realities 2022
2057, humans have been forced into isolation for decades at this point. While historically, this has been titled, isolation, quarantine, even confinement, humans have elevated past that. The world has been redesigned to satisfy the biological need for separation.
Families can no longer exceed the size of four members. Family units of 1-4 members may interact with each other face to face. All external interactions will be separated by architectural elements.
The world was redesigned at a new scale; the scale of the pod. Independent units are given the opportunity to experience the world through a new body. These pods are capable of flight through a breathable ion engine that ionizes compressed air as a source of propulsion. The arrangements of these pods has generated new architectural typologies to relieve the encumbrance of permanent isolation.
