The Literacy Research Center & Clinic is a new facility that provides professional development and clinical resources. The program includes a family literacy area with high tech tutoring and diagnostics rooms, conference rooms for educators to connect digitally across the state, and offi ce and research space for staff and graduate students. As the project manager, I worked closely with the University’s College of

Education planning committee to bring their ideas to life. I developed the design concepts, prepared the presentation and university required phase documentation, coordinated the entire project team, and lead the completion of the fi nal drawings. The outcome was a design that exceeded their expectations while working within the limiting constraints of the existing building and conditions.

The Literacy Research Center & Clinic is a new prestigious part of the university’s College of Education. The space available for the program, however, was the lower level of an existing building that was originally shop space. Part of the challenge of this project was to reimagine the existing space to match the new program.

High ceilings with playful fl oating clouds and curving walls transformed the once shop area into an inviting space for the family literacy area.

Working with the planning committee, I took the written and verbal descriptions of their needs and generated a visual interpretation that refl ected the essential relationships.

In order to develop the new Literacy Research Center in a portion of an existing building, many factors needed to be considered. These included the existing circulation, exterior shell, existing utilities and technology connections, access to daylight, orientation of site, and the main pedestrian access.

Considering the client’s needs, physical restrictions, and physical opportunities, I developed numerous sketches that could best fulfi ll the requirements.

I further developed several of the most promising fl oor plans into presentation plans that could be easily understood and compared by the planning committee.

The new entrance to the LRCC is located along a campus pedestrian corridor and the edge of a planned plaza. The design of the site work and entrance was an opportunity to engage the campus and establish the LRCC’s presence. I developed several various design ideas for the planning committee to consider.

Campus development plans will transform what was previously the hidden back alley side of the building into the defi ning edge of a new public plaza. This side also transforms into the new entrance to the LRCC. Giving the Literacy Center a distinctive identity was very important to the planning committee, however, they had not previously considered addressing the building’s newly exposed west side. I prepared various options to help the committee understand the different levels of changes that could be made to the existing elevation.

This prominent historic building located along downtown’s main street had been empty for years until it was revitalized through a renovation and repurposing for offi ce, retail, and restaurant tenants. A signifi cant addition to the west of the historic building allowed a major tenant to occupy the entire second fl oor level.

This fast tracked project required signifi cant coordination and cooperation with the owner, the consultants, the contractor, and the community at large. As project manager, I worked with all parties involved to keep the project on track. I develop key design decisions and produced Revit models for use with both design exploration and for fi nal construction document development.

This new rotunda is located at the point where the historic building and the new addition meet at the back side of the block. This focal point connects the two buildings and becomes the main entrance for visitors from the parking lot. I developed a series of elevation design options to explore how the rotunda’s appearance could reference the historic building. I also designed how the grand stair and elevator would work in the rotunda. Once a design direction had been approved, I carefully followed through with the rotunda’s constructions documents and submittals to ensure it was constructed as envisioned.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY(Downtown’s Main Street)

HISTORIC DINNEEN BUILDING

The Dinneen Building marks the west edge of the historic heart of downtown and sits along the downtown’s main street, the Lincoln Highway. Historically, the building had a very strong presence on the SE side, but is unnoticeable approaching from the west. I saw this project is an opportunity to develop a “face” that marks both the beginning of the historic downtown and the Dinneen property from the SW. The new addition is divided into bays which have storefront entrances that open to both the main street and the parking behind the addition.

After establishing which of the main horizontal bands on the historic building would be refl ected in the new addition, I explored how the remainder of the facade could be expressed. My evaluations included material selection, locations of mullions, and the design of the recessed entry ways. I used the revit model to visualize and compare these variations.

As project manager, I collaborated with Western EcoSystems Technology Inc., West Inc, to transform the interior of an existing historic building into their corporate headquarters. The space was previously used as an auto body shop. Part of the exciting challenge with this project was to utilize the unique features of the existing building while satisfying all the client’s functional needs. I worked closely with their

executive committee. I listened to their needs and developed numerous fl oor plan layouts to address their goals. My work on this project included collaboration with the building’s owner, consultants, and the contractor to fi nd solutions to make this project succeed. I prepared the conceptual plans, a detailed Revit model, and the construction documents. I also oversaw the construction administration phase.

Considering the planning committee’s needs, I worked through many different potential layouts for West Inc. Starting with quick sketches to explore initial ideas, I then moved on to preparing presentation drawings in Revit. I used a system of color coding to clearly identify where the different departments would be located throughout the space.

The tenant fi nish utilized the unique features of the existing building. The original steel structure is highlighted in the new offi ce space and the open offi ce workstations were located beneath the skylights in the sawtooth roof areas. The unique corner tower elements of the building have excellent views of historic downtown. One tower became the offi ce of West Inc’s President, while the other became a shared break room and social center.

Coordination also needed to take place with the fl oor below. This tenant fi nish was taking place on the second fl oor, however, the fi rst fl oor was not yet occupied. We worked with the building owner to provide adequate chase spaces to allow a variety of different uses on the fi rst fl oor in the future.

Chases

As this tenant fi nish was completed in an existing historic building, there was a signifi cant amount of coordination required. Throughout the second fl oor, coordination needed to take place between the existing structure, ceiling confi guration, exterior wall fi nish, and window locations. Open offi ce spaces were placed beneath the large skylight areas, while the requested private offi ces utilized the exterior windows. I placed key elements of the West Inc. program, the executive suite and the shared break room, so that they utilized the unique corner turret of the fl oor.

Built in 1928, The Dinneen Building operated as an automobile dealership until the early 2000’s. This building, with it’s terra-cotta banding and lion gargoyles, is an icon of downtown Cheyenne. As project manager for the building’s rehabilitation and pursuit of historic tax credits, I researched and documented the original historic design and current conditions of the building. I

developed design solutions for the project that addressed the needs of the owner, the state’s historic preservation board, and the national park service. I prepared for the owner the three-part application to receive historic tax credits. The successful approval of the application was critical, as the tax credits made the project fi nancially feasible.

Describe existing feature and its condition:The exterior walls of the street sides of thebuilding are pressed red brick above a kickplateheight expanse of brown iron spot brick. Glazedarchitectural terra cotta elements are placed aswindow headers and sills; larger blocks form acornice and parapet cap. Terra cotta lions bearingshields are positioned at the top of each pilaster.The overall condition of the face brick and terracotta is excellent. Over time, there has beendeterioration of some of the mortar joints,however, there does not appear to be any wateror stress related damage to the brick or terracotta.

Common red orange brick forms the secondarynorth and west walls, where no terra cottaelements appear. The condition of these walls isgood as well. At the west wall, joints were leftunfinished and the wall is painted.

The surface of all existing masonry will be cleanedusing water, detergent, and a natural or nylonbristle brush. Acid or high pressure water will notbe used.

The brick and terra cotta will be inspected.Mortar joints will be tested for viability. Wheremortar is missing, or joints are soft, old mortar willbe removed to a minimum depth of 2 to 2 1/2times the width of the joint, or approximately ½ to1 inch deep, to ensure an adequate bond andprevent mortar “popouts”. Hand chisels and mashhammers will be used where possible. Use ofpower saws or grinders will only be used withcaution and close supervision.

Mortar which has a compressive strength lowerthan the adjacent masonry will be used. Themortar color and texture will be closely examinedto ensure that the sand and mortar color matchthe existing. Joints will be tooled to match existingmortar joint profile.

The paint on the west wall will be investigated todetermine if the underlying brick is of veneerquality, is aesthetically desirable, and if the paintcan be removed without harm to the brick. If

Hyphen is the term the National Park Service uses to describe the portion of a building that provides a physical link but visual separation between a historic building and a new addition. The design of the hyphen for this project required careful coordination and collaboration between the National Parks Service, the State Historic Preservation Offi ce, and the owners. I used Revit as a tool to help the parties involved visualize how the proposed options for the Hyphen would affect the building’s appearance.

In the 1980’s all of the original building’s windows were replaced with bronze aluminum frame windows with dark tinted glazing. Using photographic records and original building plans, the original windows were analyzed. Careful consideration and coordination with manufacturers took place to select new windows with compatible confi guration, color, operability, and pane appearance to the original windows.

TYPE: Renovation & New Addition For a Mixed Use DevelopmentFIRM: TDSi - The Design StudioROLE: Project Manager SIZE: 108,114 SFCLIENT: Dinco Land, LLC + W.E. Dinneen, Inc.

The BonTon is a mixed-use development that consists of a renovation and substantial new addition in the heart of the downtown. It was designed with retail on the fi rst fl oor, offi ce space on fl oors 2 & 3, and condominiums on the upper levels. The project utilized the existing structure of the two existing buildings, but reimagined the facade and interiors. Reusing elements was one of the sustainable features of

the project, but it required careful consideration and attention to detail. My work on this project included coordinating the new development’s overall circulation. I developed a revit model as well as presentation and working drawings for the project. I also created conceptual fl oor plans for a signifi cant prospective tenant. This project was completed through the schematic design phase.

For this project, I translated a sketched elevation (above) and information about the existing buildings (pictured below) into a Revit model (on the left). The two existing buildings were fi rst modeled in Revit and then the new design added additional fl oors and updated the overall facade of the building.

Courtyard Circulation

I used Revit to show how the entrance to the interior courtyard could appear and furthered explored how the space would be experienced by making a video fl y-through.

A key part of the design was to establish circulation paths. This included paths that conect the two previously separate buildings. An enclosed interior courtyard spans what was originally an alley between the buildings, allowing visitors to enter the project from the street side or the parking in the back. I explored how this narrow courtyard could accommodate the new stair and elevator needs as well as reconcile the differences in fl oor levels between the existing buildings.

The building’s challenging site is accessed off of the Boylston Street Bridge and immediately adjacent the highway beneath. On the site is an under used entrance to the T, Boston’s subway system.

Rather than removing it, my project embraced the T entrance as a way to encourage mass transportation and connect with the public. While the path to the T is physically separated from the highway there is a visual connection with an integrated LED screen that displays facts about the benefi ts of using public transportation.

This new building is an opportunity to highlight education. A public gallery and presentation space are elements I added to the program to help the BAC connect to the public.

The BAC’s distance program is strongly technology based and the suspended media pod in the building’s atrium is a physical reminder of this. The pod is an immersive presentation space to connect students and educators no matter where they are located.

This studio focused on developing a satellite education facility for Boston Architectural College’s Distance students. These students come together for intense studios sessions in person at the Boston campus before returning to their respective homes across the country. This studio included exploration into building systems, day lighting studies, and code analysis.

Northerly island is a unique location in Chicago. While it is so near the city, it feels a world away. The education center’s position on the island allows it to act as a transition point between the urban atmosphere of the city and the natural landscape of the site. The building’s orientation and layout capture the natural day lighting and views of the site.

The building becomes a place to pause and refl ect before exploring the island beyond. Raised walkways

allow visitors to experience the reclaimed nature of the island and the water beyond, while ensuring that it will be undamaged for future visitors. Indoor and outdoor classrooms, exhibit space, an auditorium, and a bird hospital provide a variety of learning and interpretation opportunities at the center. Beyond the building, the island itself becomes a classroom for fi rsthand learning experiences.

This studio focused on developing a concept driven project. The site is immediately adjacent to the Boston Symphony Hall. The core program was to develop a musical performance space within the building. Located where the Back Bay,Fenway/Kenmore, and South end neighborhoods meet.

My concept for this project was that the new building would be a beacon. The site currently was dark without any clues of the wonderful performances taking place in the famous hall next door and in the neighborhood at large. My design

highlights and prominently displays the interactions taking place within the building.

The main hall is clearly visible both within and without, and glows when a performance is taking place. The facade focuses views and allows those passing by to see the activity inside the building.

Beyond a visual representation of the neighborhood, the restaurant, gallery space, and rooftop jazz lounge elements ensure the building is also a physical gathering place for the community.

Starting with sketched ideas, these furniture designs slowly took shape through material selection, 3D modeling, and dimensioned drawing sets.

Finally, these pieces came to life after hours of careful craftsmanship in the furniture design workshop.
