M. The convergence of STEM disciplines: What and where to build for programmatic success

ArupJeffrey Huang, PE – Associate Principal

Office 52Isaac Campbell, AIA, NCARB – Principal

Proximity of researchers and faculty, campus location, program convergence and colocation, and shared resources top the list of planning challenges that institutional planners are grappling with in pursuit of world class STEM programs. Through the lens of Carnegie Mellon University’s new Nano-Bio-Energy Technologies Building, session leaders examine decision making processes that result in successful co-mingled facility solutions, maximizing collaboration and institutional competitiveness, while reducing energy usage. They evaluate how prioritizing proximity and connectivity over ease of construction drove infill site selection, and detail new program elements that bring together faculty, staff, and students in a nexus of interaction.

N. Carbon footprint at odds with STEM facility initiatives? Effective construction/renovation solutions

EllenzweigShirine Boulos Anderson, AIA, LEED AP – Principal Carolyn Day, LEED AP – Associate

Carbon footprint reduction commitments are now coming home to roost in planning for new STEM facilities or rehabilitation of existing ones: How can we deliver leading-edge programs with aggressive facility sustainability and energy performance targets? The answers are out there, and here Shirine Boulos Anderson and Carolyn Day deliver a how-to guide for making it happen. They identify critical must-do actions for ensuring project teams meet institutional commitments, optimizing the use (and re-use) of resources, communicating with leadership, peers, and students, and selectively adopting technologies to meet academic requirements while offsetting GHG emissions.

O. Construction cost forecast and timing decisions for science and engineering capital projects

Vermeulens, Boston James Vermeulen, PQS, Leed AP – Construction Economist, Managing Principal Zachary Bergeron, LEED AP – Construction Economist, Senior Project Manager

Mounting pressure on construction costs will impact all science facility projects on the drawing boards, both new construction and renovations. Attend this session to get better pricing and more accurate budget figures, and better understand construction cost drivers for different academic science programs. James Vermeulen and Zachary Bergeron deliver up-to-date construction cost forecasts based on the latest employment data, government spending trends, commodity prices, and cost data from more than 100 projects. Using analyses of equities, GDP, and construction labor markets, they illustrate regional construction pricing targets for the next two years, and demonstrate bid and purchasing strategies that lock in costs and reduce risk.

P. On the road to zero net energy + zero emission labs: New operating data, technology, systems

Erlab, Inc.Kenneth Crooks – Director, GreenFumeHood Filtration Technology

BR+A Consulting Engineers, LLC Jacob Knowles – Director of Sustainable Design

It’s no secret that laboratory buildings on your campus are monster-sized energy users, emitting large quantities of greenhouse gases and other chemicals at an alarming rate – but new solutions are now available to tackle this cost and sustainability problem. Ken Crooks and Jacob Knowles examine case studies and operating data to illustrate the new technology, building systems, chemical capture and monitoring equipment, and integrated design processes that make zero net energy/emissions laboratories possible with reduced mechanical infrastructure and operating costs. They detail triple bottom line results including reduced environmental footprint, enhanced safety and flexibility, and first-cost and operating cost savings. AIA HSW
