EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Building upon a study completed in 2013, HGA developed additional conceptual options for preliminary design of a new 37,827 square foot library at the corner of Highway 96 and Victoria Street North in Shoreview, MN. The two residential lots at the corner of Highway 96 and Victoria Street North became available for purchase after the original feasibility study was completed. The purchase and demolition for these two residences are in process Fall of 2014. The existing library building, which will remain on the current library site, will be repurposed for another Ramsey County use.

PROJECT GOALS

SITE EVALUATION

SITE SUMMARY

The new site for the library is directly adjacent to the existing library and includes two formerly residential lots at the corner of Hwy 96 and Victoria Street North. A third lot that is included in the planning of the library is owned by the City of Shoreview and includes a well house on the premises. This area of this lot is required to meet the parking requirement for the new library. The well house requires a 50’ setback. There is an approximately 8 to 10 foot drop in grade from west to east on the site.

There is a desire to have the new library become part of a larger civic campus area which includes the existing library building that will be re-purposed, as well as the existing Shoreview Community Center.

Drivingfactorsforthesitedesign:- A presence at the corner – become a civic building with greater visibility- A drive up book drop – a convenience to meet the needs of the Shoreview patrons- A singular and visible main entry for both Library and Library Administration- Placement of delivery functions into a single dock area for both the Library and Technical Services

SUSTAINABILITY

The Shoreview Library will be designed to meet Minnesota Sustainable Building Design Guidelines (B3) version 2.2 including Sustainable Building 2030 (SB2030) Energy Standard which is a progressive energy conservation program that is designed tosignificantlyreduceenergyandcarboninMinnesotabuildings.SB2030istailoredafterthenationalArchitecture2030program and both have goals to reach net zero energy buildings in 2030. In 2015, the standard is 70 percent better than a baseline building modeled based on building of the same type and location typical of existing building stock in 2003. The SB2030 Energy Standard is required on all projects that receive funding from the State of Minnesota. Ramsey County has indicated that this will be the standard for the project, regardless of state funding. The energy goals are measured in terms of energy usage intensity (EUI) index in kBtu/SF/Yr. The estimated EUI for the Shoreview Library is expected to be approximate-ly 45. This target will need to be tested and determined early in Schematic Design.Forreference,RamseyCountyLibrary’sbestperformingbuildingsarethefollowing(datacollectedfromhttps://mn.b3bench-marking.com/Report.aspx?OrganizationID=920&ReturnTo=Counties): Maplewood Library 58 EUI Roseville Library 60 EUI Inordertomeetthetargetofapproximately45EUIthefollowingdesigncriteriashouldbeconsidered:

- Conduct an integrated design process that includes all disciplines to ensure that key goals are met.- Preliminary energy and building modeling should be conducted early in the process to test options- Walltoglazingareasshouldbemodeledtomaximizedaylightandviewswhilebalancingenergygoals.Energy-effi cient triple pane glazing may be required to meet energy goals.- Exterior wall and roof thermal performance should be developed with mechanical to meet goals R-value goals. It is expected that the exterior wall insulation thickness is to be 3” with an approximate R-value of 19. Roof insulation thickness is expected to be approximately 5” with an average R-value of 30. These assumptions should be tested in Schematic Design.- Mechanical systems should incorporate systems such as ground source heat pumps in order to reduce EUI. (Refer to mechanical systems description for more information).- Utilize daylighting controls

OthersustainablefeaturestomeetB3guidelines:- Materials will be selected that are durable and low maintenance.- Provideanopen,flexiblespacethatisadaptableasneedschange.- Use local, recycled and renewable materials when possible.- Use low or no VOC materials.- Daylight from skylights will be brought deep into library spaces to provide natural light.- Developaconstructionwastemanagementspecificationtominimizeuseofresources.

commission number 2908-009-00

SITEWORK NARRATIVE

The proposed sitework will consist of the construction of the Library building and adjacent 66 stall surface parking lot. To accommodate this construction, the southern portion of the existing library parking lot will be removed and the residential lots cleared.

The finished floor elevation of the new library is anticipated to be within a foot or two of that in the existing library building. This finished floor elevation will allow service and book drop-off access on the north side of the library from the existing library parking lot. However, this finished floor elevation will require exterior stairs on the sidewalk to the Community Center, east of the new parking lot. Also required are two 3 foot high by 50 foot long retaining walls adjacent to the access drive from the Community Center parking lot.

Several site utilities will need to be removed, relocated and/or extended to serve the new library building. Site utility workwillinclude:• Removal of the existing storm sewer in the southwest corner of the library parking lot.• Relocation of the existing library sanitary sewer service (see page 20).• Connection of the new library sanitary sewer service with the relocated sanitary sewer.• Extension of a new water service from the 8” watermain located adjacent to Victoria Street (see page 20).• Installation of an underground stormwater treatment system. This system will collect drainage from the book drop/service area,

the library roof and the new parking lot and discharge to the adjacent City storm sewer system located in the Community Center parking lot. This stormwater treatment system must accommodate approximately 6,200 cubic feet of storage volume.

RAMSEY COUNTY LIBRARY - SHOREVIEWFeasibility Study December 18, 2014Ramsey County Library - Shoreview Architectural Narrative

Feasibility Study November 18, 2014


ARCHITECTURAL NARRATIVE

I. Building SummaryThe program for the building includes threemainprogrammaticelements:

• Library• Technical Services• Administration

The new 37,827 square foot Library & Administration building is planned to locate all library functions including Technical Servicesand Administrative Offices on the First Level. There will be limited two story library space along the west side of the building over the Adult and Teen collection areas. The program for the library is based on a document produced by Bentz, Thompson, Rietow, dated January 25, 2013 along with select updates.

A one-story library space is preferred from a staffing and function standpoint. A drive up book drop will be provided to continue the level of service already provided at the existing library. Ideally, the drive up book drop will drop directly into the automated material handling room in the staff area to eliminate extensive conveyance and manual transfer of materials. The book drop is located on the north side of the building in order to provide an easily accessible drive up book drop for patrons. This will improve service since patrons will now be able to directly access the book drop off of Victoria Street North. This places the automated material handlingequipment, staff areas and technical service functions at the northeast corner of the plan. The interior book drop at the main entryshould also be located so material can be returned into the conveyance same system, if possible. The Technical Services department receives a large amount materials from multiple daily deliveries. These deliveries require a roll up door.

There will be a mechanical penthouse on the northeast corner of the building for air handling units and mechanical systems. An approximately 800 sf basement area will be included for mechanical water and pump room for a ground source heat pump system.

Daylight and transparency are key concepts in making the entrance and interior spaces feel inviting. Transparency from the exterior and window placement will be carefully considered. Transparency allows people on the exterior to see the activities occurring within. Window placement will frame views of the exterior from the interior spaces.

The interior concept includes ideas of warmth, intimacy and light. The feeling of warmth will be created in the careful selection of materials – wood and natural colors applied cohesively inside and out. . The intuitive planning of the building will allow the user to relate the exterior massing of the building with interior functions. All collection areas will include warm and inviting spaces yet each will have a unique character designed to meet the individual needs the user groups. Intimate spaces for people to linger will be provided along the exterior including window seats, comfortable seating and small reader tables. The transparent public lobby is filled with natural light and provides a visual connection to the outdoors through large windows.

The Administrative office area has been located at the Shoreview Library for a long time. It currently is in the lower level of the existing building. The existing location has challenges with identity and entry. The Administrative offices also have different hours of operation than those of the library. A goal of the new building is to create an identifiable and welcoming entrance for all visitors to the Administrative Offices of the Ramsey County Library.

adjacent existing library – TCT #4220 91-809, dated February 11, 1991 by Twin City Testing Corporation – was reviewed. According to the report, the current library site features granular soils below shallow fill and organic soils.The report recommended conventional spread footings, but an allowable bearing pressure was not provided.

B. For preliminary foundation design purposes an allowable bearing pressure for spread footings of 3000 pounds per square foot is assumed, with the expectation that subsurface conditions are similar to the adjacent existing library site.

C. A small partial basement of approximately 800 square feet is planned for mechanical equipment. The remainder of the first level will be on grade.

D. Preliminaryfoundationloadsandconstruction:1) Typical building column footings:8’-0” x 8’-0” x 1’-8” thick reinforced concrete, based on a typical maximum

anticipated column load of 200 kips. Larger footings may be required in limited areas.2) Typicalexteriorwallfoundations:concretefrostwallson2’-0” wide by 1’-0” thick continuous footings, based on

a maximum anticipated wall load of 6 kips per foot. Bottom of perimeter building footings to be a minimum of 3’-6” below grade.

3) Typical basement walls and foundations: 12” thick minimum concrete walls on 2’-0” wide by 1’-0” thick continuous footings, based on a maximum anticipated wall load of 6 kips per foot.

E. Typical building slab on grade will consist of a 5-inch unreinforced concrete slab placed directly over a 15-mil vapor barrier and supported by 6 inches minimum of compacted under-floor base material. 1) An access floor system over the first level slab on grade is anticipated.2) A thicker slab on grade may be required in the basement mechanical space.

IV. Structural Framing SystemsA. Typical Floor Framing

1) The elevated structural floor system will consist of steel framing and concrete slabs on composite steel deck. Typical slab construction will be 3-1/2” normal weight concrete on 3” deep cellular acoustic composite deck, providing a one-hour floor slab rating. Typical purlin spacing will be approximately 8 to 10 feet. Bay sizes will vary, with column spacing expected to range from 25 to 35 feet in each direction.

2) The floor structure will be exposed, and all structural steel will be Architecturally Exposed (AESS), except at mechanical areas. The level of AESS to be provided includes the following fabrication and erection requirements:• Fabricate and erect AESS to the tolerances specified in AISC 303 for steel that is designated AESS.• Shop fabricate and assemble AESS to the maximum extent possible. Locate field joints at concealed

locations if possible. Detail assemblies to minimize handling and to expedite erection.• Fabricate with exposed surfaces smooth, square, and free of surface blemishes including pitting, rust,

scale, and roughness.





• Remove blemishes by filling or grinding or by welding and grinding, before cleaning, treating, and shop priming.

• Fabricate with piece marks fully hidden in the completed structure or made with media that permits full removal after erection.

• Assemble and weld built-up sections by methods that will maintain true alignment of axes without exceeding specified tolerances.

• Use weld sizes, fabrication sequence, and equipment for AESS that limit distortions to allowable tolerances.

3) Columns will be wide flange or HSS shapes of 8- or 10-inch nominal depth. The largest columns will occur at braced frame locations.

B. Typical Roof Framing1) Typical roof framing will consist of steel beams and roof deck. Typical beam spacing will be approximately 8 to

10 feet, with 3” deep galvanized and painted steel roof deck. Bay sizes will vary, with column spacing expected to range from 25 to 35 feet in each direction.

2) The roof structure will be exposed, and all structural steel will be Architecturally Exposed (AESS), except at mechanical areas. The level of AESS to be provided at the roof is the same as described for the typical floor framing.

3) Longer roof spans are anticipated over the portions of the building. The one and half story spaces and the community room may have clear roof spans of approximately 50 feet. Heavier and deeper steel framing will be required for these longer spans.

C. Select Areas of Specialty Structure1) Provide an allowance for a limited area of exposed specialty structural framing. Structure may consist of

architecturally exposed steel, timber, glulam or other exposed systems within feature areas of the building.

D. Lateral Load Resisting Systems1) Steel concentric braced frames with HSS sections for bracing will be primarily used to resist lateral wind loads.

Steel moment frames may be required in limited areas.

11) LibraryEquipment:Provide receptacles,electricalconnectionsandcommunicationpathways toaccommodatecomputers, printers, copiers, scanners and RFID Bins.

III. LightingA. In order to achieve Sustainable Building 2030 energy goals, the overall lighting loads must be minimized. This

requires a full integration of all building systems. There are many technologies that are currently available that can be applied to achieve this objective. 1) The appropriate light levels must be determined for each space. With light levels minimized the quality issues of

light such as glare and brightness must be carefully addressed to create comfortable working environments. 2) The most efficient lighting tools must be balanced against appropriate applications. Advancements in solid state

lighting (LEDs) provides an array of very efficient luminaires for varying applications. LED fixtures should be at a minimum of 80 lumens per watt with the goal of fixtures reaching an average of 100 lumens per watt.

3) Full advantage must be taken of lighting controls. To reduce lighting loads when adequate light is available it is recommended that daylight harvesting incorporate dimming within occupied areas to eliminate distractions to users. Override controls will be separated from public library areas to administrative areas to allow separation of use during occupied times.

4) Day lighting contributions should focus on north and south facade exposure with proper shading control. West and East facing facades will require more extensive sun control. Daylight factor and uniformity of available daylight is imperative for an energy saving design. Program areas that will benefit greatly from reduction in electric lighting and daylight control are lounge areas, library stocks, reading, community rooms, workspaces, and circulation.

5) Monitoring and feedback from lighting loads will assist in maintenance and task tuning within the space.6) Time of day controls and multi-level vacancy sensors will allow the lighting to be available during hours of

building operation. Emergency lighting should be controlled under unoccupied conditions with a few select night lights.

7) Exterior LED lighting should minimize light trespass along the property line and be full cutoff. Exterior lights will dim to lower levels from the hours of 12AM to 6AM. Select lights close to the building and near the book drop will be on motion sensor to come to full output if approached.

8) Solar lighting can reduce exterior lighting impact on the building load as well as showcase commitment to sustainable technologies.

9) Regarding hazardous waste, lighting’s greatest impact on the environment is through energy usage however there are hazardous materials that should be minimize or eliminated. Fluorescent and Metal Halide lamps require mercury in order to operate. Most manufacturers offer a “low mercury” version which will be used on this project. Lighting recycling facilities take removed lamps and reclaim all of the mercury, phosphorus and other hazardous materials. Attention to recycled housing materials and the ability to replace modules within the fixture is important in this regard as well.



Feasibility Study


B. To meet the needs of the expanded facility and desired energy savings, provide new lighting fixtures throughout. The lightfixturesandsystemshallmeettherequirementsbelow:1) The lighting system shall be energy efficient while meeting the needs of the SB2030 and the requirements of the

Ramsey County Library system.2) Emphasis should be placed on selection of dimmable LED fixtures.3) Color rendering index (CRI) of 85 or higher is required.4) Refer to IES standards for recommended footcandle levels for various areas and tasks associated with the

building and site. Vertical illuminance on stacks will be important criteria in determining average light levels for the space.

5) The lighting design shall incorporate layouts and fixtures that reduce glare and fatigue.6) Fixture choices and controls shall allow for dimming or turning off of some lights during low use periods, when

daylighting is available, etc. Daylighting zones will be located from exterior windows to 1.5’ times the distance into the interior space.

7) Dual technology occupancy sensors will be used in enclosed spaces that are 1000sf or less. Manual on to 50% will reduce lighting usage in these smaller areas. Users will have access to manual override within the space.
