EMBODIED CARBON AND WHY SHOULD IT MATTER TO YOU. DID YOU KNOW
CE ME NT PRODU C TION ALON E IS R E SP ON SIBLE FOR 7 % OF ALL G LOB AL CARBON EMISSION S.
Embodied carbon is a trending topic in the design and construction industry – but what is it, and why are we talking about it? The benchmark for measuring the sustainability of a building is shifting from its energy efficiency alone to the environmental impact of both energy and materials used in buildings in terms of their global warming potential (GWP). Embodied carbon refers to the GWP for all of the physical materials in a building, from the beginning of their manufacturing process to end of service life and disposal in units of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). At Ryan A+E, we can help our clients enter the carbon conversation, set goals for their projects, and make measurable improvements by leveraging the four key steps to the right in our design process. To learn even more about carbon in the built environment, reach out to Kaitlin Veenstra (Architecture) and Britta Ryan (Construction).

HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE
SUPPORTING PROGRAMMATIC CLIENTS
Successful companies in the industrial industry have operational needs that are driven by a long-term strategic vision, designed to support sustained growth and to do so in a way that is very thoughtful and well-coordinated. This strategic vision many times manifests itself in a facility “program” that is designed to achieve growth employing many initiatives. These programmatic initiatives require flexible, yet organized thought leadership to drive the development, design, and construction of many types of facilities in many locations. While the locations, facilities, and priorities within the program vary to support operational requirements, the process and approach to support the client’s needs should not vary. Ryan excels at collaborating with clients with programmatic requirements and has successfully developed procedures and processes that are organized around the client's needs and processes. Our client-centered approach focuses on the consistency of process and team personnel, standards development, and the client’s internal operational needs. Ultimately, Ryan’s diverse industrial platform and national reach enables us to provide flexible solutions that accomplish many things in many different locations. As we provide these solutions in a programmatic fashion, our clients experiences from project to project are familiar and allow them to communicate internally in a confident manner. Our programmatic approach is client focused, flexible, and transparent, delivering predictable results in a trusting environment.

By delivering multiple projects alongside programmatic clients, the teams has a deep working knowledge of their standards and requirements and understands where flexibility can be employed to provide operational or maintenance benefits.
By focusing on the operational aspects of a facility, the team is focused on designing from the inside out and putting operational efficiency at the forefront. It is less about the bricks and mortar and more about how the facility performance supports operations.

A long-time retail/grocery partner for Ryan needed significant renovations to their 157-acre distirbution center campus on the east coast. Drawing on our detailed knowledge of our partner’s design standards, our team quickly mobilized to complete two phases of renovations. Phase I focused on their perishable grocery distribution center and added a 110,000 SF freezer expansion, guardhouse, and entrance canopy. Phase II included renovations of an existing 385,000 SF returns center.

Consolidating their four campuses into a new corporate headquarters in Cedar Rapids, Altofer partnered with Ryan to create a new 138,000 SF facility that includes a maintenance shop, warehouse, and sales offices. The building’s design provides flexibility for teams and ensures heavy equipment could move from either end of the building without stressing the structure or damaging the concrete floor. The design incorporated room for future expansions of the facility’s shop, office building, outdoor storage area, parking stalls and landscaping areas.

This automated fulfillment center is part of a national rollout of high-tech grocery facilities by the grocer and robotics partner, and the sixth that Ryan has designed and built. Every square inch of the warehouse is meticulously designed to support every stage of the automated grocery fulfillment process. The facility supports autonomous robots on a large steel grid housing food storage bins, gathering items as they go. Comprised of a two-story office, two mezzanine levels and freezer, it occupies little more than 189,000 SF square feet.
