The Lowell site is located along the Concord River. The main street that approaches the site is East Merrimack street with Davidson street as the perpendicular side street. Upon the inital site visit, it was revealed that the site is relatively flat . One thing that we as a team think is a promient issue with the site currently is the disruption of the riverwalk along the concord river. We used this issue as a driving force during the design process and created a building that will successfully resolve the issue for the community.

The structure of the prototype consists of a hybrid system. The most prominent aspect is the heavy timber glulam post and beams. This component was chosen because of the many benefits it has to offer such as long spans, lighter dead load, fire resistency, construction assembly regardless of weather conditions resulting in a reduce time schedule, as well as the aesthetic mass timber has to offer. The post and beams are tied together with a steel I-Beam connection that creates the separation of floors. Most of the steel connections are covered by a concrete floor slab that allow for the hands-on activities of the maker space. Under the floor slab are prefabricated 7 ply CTL ceiling planels that sit on the beams perpendicularly. For lateral support, glulam crosss bracing as well as a light guage steel stud framing system are installed. The steel stud framing system were chosen due to the concrete floor slab that will need to be drilled into and connected with a pin and bolt. Finally, the system is tied into the ground with a traditional pre-casted concrete foundation wall and footings for the columns to sit on. The concrete components were chosen becuase it is the best material and most traditional system to interact with the ground.

The enclosure system of the prototype consists of two wall conditions along with the roof condition. One of the walls is a glazing curtain wall. This wall system was chosen because it will allow people to see inside the maker space, specifically the lobby and exhibition spaces where there will be a lot of community interaction. The other wall system is more opaque with punched out windows and is enclosed by aluminum metal panels. The panels act as a rainscreen which are clipped onto and are connected to the light gauge steel stud framing. Within the rainscreen is interior and exterior gypsum boards, an air / vapor barrier as well as a vapor retarder, rigid insulation for the outter portion of the wall, and batt insulation in between the steel studs. Finally, for the roof a standard flat roof assembly was designed with membrane roofing that slowly inceases in height so that the roof isn’t completely flat and can collect water. It is covered by an albedo material that reflects sunlight. For the parapit, a metal cap will protect it from the elements.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROLS & LIGHITNG
The interior building systems consist of both passive and active systems that help make the building perform efficiently as well as maximize user comfort. First, for passive systems there are operable windows that bring in natural ventilation to some spaces so that occupants can enjoy fresh air. There are also shading devices incorporated on the windows to block direct glare and cool the building at certain points of the day.. For active sytems, to offset the high electricity costs of the building, photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof facing south for optimal sun exposure. A user comfort system that works with the HVAC system is the radiant flooring which is a piping system covered by the concrete floor slab. When needed, hot water will run through the pipes heating up the floor as well as the rest of the room. For typical active systems found within the prototype you have artifical strip lights, a typical supply & return HVAC system, as well as a fire protection sprinkler system. All of these systems are exposed and hang because of the aesthetic of the heavy timber structure. Overall, these systems will help make for a efficent builidng.

REVISED STRUCTURAL SYSTEM CONCEPT GLULAM TIMBER & STEEL I-BEAM CONNECTION
The structural concept of the building takes heavy inspiration with the UMASS Amherst Design Center. Like the UMASS Building, we use a heavy timber structure consisting of heavy timber glulam post and beams. We believe heavy timber for the structure was the best choice over standard structural materials because of the many benefits it has to offer such as long spans, lighter dead load, fire resistency, construction assembly regardless of weather conditions resulting in a reduce time schedule, environmentally friendly and comes from a renewable resource, and is aesthetically pleasing becuase it can be exposed. The post and beams are tied together with a steel I-Beam connection that creates the separation between the floors. Most of the steel connections are covered by a concrete floor slab that allow for the hands-on activities of the maker space. Under the floor slab are prefabricated 7 ply CTL ceiling planels that sit on the beams perpendicularly. For lateral support, glulam crosss bracing as well as a light guage steel stud framing system are used. The steel stud framing system was chosen due to the concrete floor slab that will need to be drilled into and connected with a pin and bolt. To tie the whole building together, it meets the ground with a traditional pre-casted concrete foundation wall and footings for the columns to sit on.

The enclosure concept for the building consists of two wall conditions along with the roof condition. One of the walls is a glazing curtain wall. This wall system was chosen because it will allow people to see inside the maker space revealing the community interaction as well as showing off the heavy timber cross bracing. The other wall system is more opaque with punched out floor to floor windows and is enclosed by aluminum metal panels. The paneling system acts as a rainscreen which are clipped onto and are connected to the light gauge steel stud framing. Within the rainscreen is interior and exterior gypsum boards with spray insulation on the exterior portion in between the steel studs, an air / vapor barrier as well as a vapor retarder, mineral board as rigid insulation for the outter portion of the wall. Finally, the roof is a standard flat roof assembly with rigid insulation that slowly inceases in height so that the roof isn’t completely flat and can collect water. It is covered by an albedo roof membrane material that reflects sunlight. For the parapit, a metal cap will protects and caps the walls from the elements. Overall, these two wall conditions will provide thermal comfort to the occupants as well as intrigue the outside community of the ongoing activities that the maker space has to offer.

The interior building systems consist of both passive and active systems that help make the building perform efficiently. First, for passive systems there are operable windows that bring in natural ventilation so that occupants can enjoy fresh air. There are also shading devices incorporated on part of the windows to block direct glare and cool the building at certain points of the day. For active sytems, to offset the high electricity costs of the building, photovoltaic panels were installed on the roof facing south for optimal sun exposure. There are also typical active systems found within the building such as you have hanging linear artifical lights, an HVAC system that is powered by a heat pump system, as well as an automatic fire protection sprinkler system to protext the mass timber stucture. One thing to note about the heat pump system is that they run more effiecently and comply with the changing energy code. All of these systems are exposed and hang to show the aesthetic of the heavy timber.
