Our site stretches between two streets with very different characters; one is faced with the larger sized buildings of the campus and the other with smaller structures that form the historic part of the campus. Using SketchUp, we tested several site locations, forms, and design approaches. We arrived at a massing that responds to both street conditions with an articulated courtyard nestled in between. Our Landscape Architect, Stephen Stimson Associates, helped us arrive at a well-resolved courtyard design as well as a sustainable landscape design for the entire site.<\/p>\n<p>The two story commons has become a focal point for the project because it creates a communal space for the inhabitants and visitors of the building, responds to the landscape garden on the third floor and opens up on the ground floor to welcome the rest of the campus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-80a22o-b1660662d8fce2bd4ce2f1f8f4b500ab\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-80a22o-b1660662d8fce2bd4ce2f1f8f4b500ab{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-80a22o-b1660662d8fce2bd4ce2f1f8f4b500ab hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-30  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-25zf568-e06e66356709d3891ccded85fac63110\">\n.avia-image-container.av-25zf568-e06e66356709d3891ccded85fac63110 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-25zf568-e06e66356709d3891ccded85fac63110 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-25zf568-e06e66356709d3891ccded85fac63110 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-31  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-8972 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-8972 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/condata-ai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sk-case-Leers-Weinzapfel-4-UMA-IDB_SectionPerspective.jpg' alt='' title='sk-case-Leers-Weinzapfel-4-UMA-IDB_SectionPerspective'  height=\"438\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-24g9bz4-62f20e7f8753fe3368ed098526f07056\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-24g9bz4-62f20e7f8753fe3368ed098526f07056 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-24g9bz4-62f20e7f8753fe3368ed098526f07056 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A cross-sectional perspective through the IDB.

Alexander Schreyer, chair of Building and Construction Technology, was the main proponent of the timber structure on the client side. It\u2019s his area of expertise and a key research area for his department. Without that interest on Alex\u2019s part, we might not have had the opportunity to investigate a timber structure. We enlisted the help of specialist timber structure engineers, Equilibrium Consulting, and what we\u2019ve arrived at is the first mass timber structure of its size and scale in the United States! Pretty much all of the structure is mass timber: the structural frame is made up of glulam beams and columns and the floor deck is made up of an innovative combination of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) &amp; concrete. This composite floor elegantly combines the material properties of wood and concrete to create thinner long spans that are durable, serviceable and great for vibration and acoustic control.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1mbhw1c-0178e8ff3edbe00f3273ea168f089a8f\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1mbhw1c-0178e8ff3edbe00f3273ea168f089a8f{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1mbhw1c-0178e8ff3edbe00f3273ea168f089a8f hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-43  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1l9b5ao-83ebda2e974e9fb0e14c5b7b7d5d1aa3\">\n.avia-image-container.av-1l9b5ao-83ebda2e974e9fb0e14c5b7b7d5d1aa3 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-1l9b5ao-83ebda2e974e9fb0e14c5b7b7d5d1aa3 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-1l9b5ao-83ebda2e974e9fb0e14c5b7b7d5d1aa3 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-44  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-10074 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-10074 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/condata-ai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sk-case-Leers-Weinzapfel-13UMA-IDB_Bldg-Envelope_Structural-Systems-cropped-en.jpg' alt='' title=''  height=\"1140\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1jkafi8-d849f2754d0ae6dda30f39609c86959a\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-1jkafi8-d849f2754d0ae6dda30f39609c86959a .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-1jkafi8-d849f2754d0ae6dda30f39609c86959a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Exploded axonometric projection showing the structural strategy and materials used in the IDB.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1h36he8-4b40b42d4298a6e7843b88243cb21f4a\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-1h36he8-4b40b42d4298a6e7843b88243cb21f4a{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-1h36he8-4b40b42d4298a6e7843b88243cb21f4a hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-46  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1fp62kw-09841e78043dc4b92d854b19e28ed987\">\n.flex_column.av-1fp62kw-09841e78043dc4b92d854b19e28ed987{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1fp62kw-09841e78043dc4b92d854b19e28ed987 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-47  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-54hk6o-e030af02c15ede448c22cbd2bd8c8dd5\">\n.flex_column.av-54hk6o-e030af02c15ede448c22cbd2bd8c8dd5{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-54hk6o-e030af02c15ede448c22cbd2bd8c8dd5 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-48  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_three_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1dkkfw0-864eef40a536fb2193bbf0eca76da6dd\">\n.flex_column.av-1dkkfw0-864eef40a536fb2193bbf0eca76da6dd{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1dkkfw0-864eef40a536fb2193bbf0eca76da6dd av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-49  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-1buzksg-5458f34626d1beb5230ce6784ee0a4f1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>S\uff1aHow did SketchUp help your design process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-4kp41c-0353f29c697d30ddd1d62079d1347926 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: left;\">L\uff1aOur office uses SketchUp as a design tool from the beginning of pretty much every project.

The prefabricated nature of the timber structure also reduces on-site labor intensive processes and will help accelerate the build process. If other clients and practitioners across the world choose to design more mass timber structures instead of concrete or steel, the industry could have a big impact on global carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the material specification, our limited budget meant that we could not rely on expensive bolt-on renewable strategies at the end of the design process. We like to consider the building\u2019s performance from the very start to reduce the energy it consumes. We ruled out a LEED Platinum rating and renewable energy sources as they were beyond our budget, but we linked into the campus\u2019 existing chiller system which is relatively efficient. We also planned spaces so that mechanical heating and cooling services could be sized and distributed efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>By collaborating closely with all the project specialists, we were able to make a lot of smart decisions and we\u2019re expecting a LEED Gold rating on completion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-30tsmo-e0a910ca9bd7e637e2ab1d6796781f51\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-30tsmo-e0a910ca9bd7e637e2ab1d6796781f51{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-30tsmo-e0a910ca9bd7e637e2ab1d6796781f51 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-60  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-t9ycw0-b39dcee4c603203fa3e01d50f0f4dde0\">\n.flex_column.av-t9ycw0-b39dcee4c603203fa3e01d50f0f4dde0{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-t9ycw0-b39dcee4c603203fa3e01d50f0f4dde0 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-61  el_after_av_three_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-s41vc0-12fb2f1f5d8dcc7a34221065caf2f7d1\">\n.flex_column.av-s41vc0-12fb2f1f5d8dcc7a34221065caf2f7d1{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-s41vc0-12fb2f1f5d8dcc7a34221065caf2f7d1 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-62  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_three_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-pd074w-40faf87016b8fcb942a330aa79311f06\">\n.flex_column.av-pd074w-40faf87016b8fcb942a330aa79311f06{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-pd074w-40faf87016b8fcb942a330aa79311f06 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-63  el_after_av_one_fifth  el_before_av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><p><section  class='av_textblock_section av-nljlrk-c43e2847ca3462a0849b850f0a85f7b0 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>S\uff1aCollaboration seems to be a big theme that runs through the project &#8212; from interpreting the brief to the design process and post-completion.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-n3wj40-c3cd3d8dcc3cf7080c984eee52f656bb '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: left;\">L\uff1aCollaboration is very important to our practice and it was certainly crucial for this project\u2019s success. There was very close collaboration between ourselves and the client, represented by the three different UMass department heads. We put a lot of thought into the spatial planning of the building to ensure that chance encounters between students and faculty across departments were maximized.

Together, we tackled the massing, orientation and facade design to ensure that we ended up with an energy efficient building. We didn\u2019t want the design to create problems and then have to throw money at it to fix it, so we made sure sustainability, context and program were integrated from the beginning. For instance, we worked closely with them on the massing, orientation and facade design to ensure we didn\u2019t have too much glazing where it wasn\u2019t needed. That way we were able to avoid glare and bad heat gains and still capture key views across the campus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-c5an2o-fd19c8dc99be9703277ed9feb07e4389\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-c5an2o-fd19c8dc99be9703277ed9feb07e4389{\nheight:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-c5an2o-fd19c8dc99be9703277ed9feb07e4389 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-71  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av5bz4-f754162c66db3ec3c2bce41714efe58e\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av5bz4-f754162c66db3ec3c2bce41714efe58e img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av5bz4-f754162c66db3ec3c2bce41714efe58e .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av5bz4-f754162c66db3ec3c2bce41714efe58e av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-72  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_textblock '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-8980 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-8980 avia_image ' src='https:\/\/condata-ai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/sk-case-Leers-Weinzapfel-IDB-sustainability-diagram.jpg' alt='' title='sk-case-Leers-Weinzapfel-IDB-sustainability-diagram'  height=\"600\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-vf89s-2168c4c8faa48986cf2d5940806fe13d\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-vf89s-2168c4c8faa48986cf2d5940806fe13d .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:14px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-vf89s-2168c4c8faa48986cf2d5940806fe13d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A diagram of overall sustainable building and site strategies.

We collaborated intensely with Equilibrium Consulting based out of Vancouver, Canada, who are experts in timber structures. We had to think very carefully about how the structure was articulated because unlike concrete or steel, the timber would be on display. We had to consider the thickness of columns, orientation and joints, particularly within the commons space. We went back and\u00a0forth with Equilibrium to synchronize the efficiency and aesthetics of the structure. It was the most time I\u2019ve spent collaborating with a structural engineer in my twenty plus years of practice and it was a very rewarding design process.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>We were really inspired by LWA\u2019s collaborative approach to this project and are looking forward to seeing the completed\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lwa-architects.com\/project\/integrated-design-building\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Integrated Design Building<\/a>.
