LOUNGES AND BEDROOMS AND GAME ROOMS OH MY!! Wow, this is one absolutely spectacular dorm! UConn's new South Campus residence hall just raised the housing bar! So happy to be part of the furniture within this incredible facility. Gina Mosca and the Sasaki team did an amazing job creating a space that allows individuals choice, not only in their rooms, but in the common, café and focus areas. The building supports wellbeing of students and staff and is considerate of neurodiversity. Different settings for different individuals at different times. Big shout of out to the project lead, Katherine Viveiros of UConn and to Sal and the team at KBE for keeping this build running smooth! Wishing all of the students the very best year in your new space. Proud to be a vendor and proud to be a University of Connecticut Alum!

We are delighted to share with you this article in Buildings Magazine on lowering the cost of continuous air replacement. Amherst College Science Center was among the first projects to be designed by van Zelm Heywood & Shadford, Inc. using this system. More on this subject as well as the Amherst College Science Center can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ei9YWke2 Thank you to Eric J.

I’m thrilled to see the Vagelos Laboratory for Energy Science and Technology at the University of Pennsylvania nearing completion. I had the honor of helping lead the design during my time at Behnisch Architekten. It’s been amazing to watch the project come to life! Congratulations to the entire team for their exceptional work in realizing it. Hope you were able to catch the tour at the Annual SCUP Conference in Philadelphia today. #UniversityofPennsylvania #BehnischArchitekten #PennSAS #PennEngineering #SCUP2024 #KnippersHelbig, #VanZelm, #MelioraDesign, #Andropogon, #HeraLaboratoryPlanners, #Acentech #LFDriscoll #VLEST

We are thrilled to hear that two of our projects won The American Institute of Architects (AIA) Education Facility Design Awards for 2024. Dartmouth College, Anonymous Hall, in Hanover, NH was designed by Leers Weinzapfel Associates. This 32,955 square-foot project reuses and adds to a vacant 1960s library to create a new administrative and social center for the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and a community hub in the heart of Dartmouth’s siloed north campus quad. The project consists primarily of individual offices for a range of faculty and staff, but also includes some classrooms, conference rooms, study space, and a graduate lounge at the lower level. Designed for LEED Gold, Anonymous Hall emphasized energy efficiency, attempting to achieve 2030 energy performance in the renovated 1960s building. The Projected Energy Use Index (EUI)of Anonymous Hall after renovations was a very low 25 KBTU/sf/yr and this was further reduced to 9 KBTU/sf/yr once the solar panels were installed, resulting in a nearly net-zero building. The University of Connecticut, Science 1 Research Center, in Storrs, CT was designed by PAYETTE. This new $160 million STEM Research Center, Science 1 is 198,000 gsf and consists of a program that includes research, teaching, administrative, service, and special use spaces. The faculty located in Science 1 bring a complement of shared facilities including but not limited to characterization, clean rooms, and a range of analytic functions that serve as the core for subsequent laboratory redevelopment in the new Northwest campus district. The facility has the Institute for Material Science (IMS) along with Material Science and Engineering (MSE) teaching labs. The building utilizes many innovative system approaches to achieve a high degree of energy efficiency, it has received LEED Gold Certification and is tracking SITES Certification.

We are excited to announce national recognition for the design of The Davis Center for Human Ecology at College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor! The project has received the AIA National Architecture Award - the highest level of recognition possible for a specific project from The American Institute of Architects (AIA). We are pleased to share this honor with Susan T. Rodriguez Architecture Design, our collaborator on the design of this project. Thank you to the entire team who made this project possible. Timothy Lock, OPAL Management Partner, emphasized the significance of this National Award: “We are thrilled to be acknowledged for a project so dear to our heart and for a client so uniquely identified with Maine. The building represents a new milestone for what is possible within the context of ecological building design, and will set a new benchmark both within our practice, and now with this acknowledgement, across the country. Academic buildings, particularly those with labs, tend to be thought of as energy hogs that cannot be avoided, and this is anything but. Additionally, this is a huge moment for Maine architecture and design, for this project to be recognized at this level. Moreover, I am so grateful for our collaborative partnership with Susan Rodrgiuez; Susie and I have a very special working relationship that is evident in the seamless weaving of the cutting-edge design and sustainability seen in this project, and I am happy others have seen it too.” Darron Collins John Gordon Susan T Rodriguez | Architecture • Design PLLC Silman Engineering Van Zelm Associates Hedefine Engineering & Design, Inc.
