The redesign integrates an exoskeleton which allows for minimal disturbance to the existing structure. The addition of an atrium like circulation space incorporated into the exoskeleton helps toprovide a link between all levels of the building, old and new. Additionally, creating a connection between the building and the outdoors aims to both further the user experience and accommodate the current use of the spaces. We aimed to increase the thermal performance of the building by strategically planning the solid/void nature of the façade and using thermally efficient materials to reduce the footprint of the building and lessen the load on the HVAC system. This also allows less artificial lighting to be used during the day, which in turn helps to reduce the ecological footprint of the building. Theresult was a building that places importance on natural light to foster a successful learning and working environment while enhancing the image of the university and the experience of the occupants of the building. Our design utilizes passive construction strategies to develop a building that is not only sustainable but more economical. We scheduled the construction phases around the school year to minimize the amount of disturbance caused to the buildings users. While the winter 2015 semester is in session, preparation for the exoskeleton is finalized. The majority of the structural work is completed during the summer months when the building can be completely shut down. Additionally, the old cladding is removed and the new structure is completely re-clad allowing the building to reach its waterproof milestone before the start of the fall 2015 semester. Lab and support spaces are completed for the new school year and the additional student spaces are finished by the winter break. The entire building reaches total performance by the end of the fiscal year and the building is handed over to the University for the winter 2016 semester.

Design Criteria

Natural light is an important part of any successful work/study environment. The advantageous placement of windows allow for natural light to penetrate deep into the building. This also allows less artificial lighting to be used during the day, which in turn helps to reduce the green footprint of the building.

The integration of an exoskeleton for the addition to the building allows minimal disturbance to the existing structure. It is also a cost and time efficient solution allowing the construction process to proceed with fewer interruptions in building use.

The addition of an atrium like circulation space incorporated into the exoskeleton helps provide a connection between all levels of the building, old and new. It helps bring fluidity to the spaces of the building and creates a unique experience for the users of the building.

Increasing the thermal performance of the building not only helps to reduce the green footprint of the building but it also lightens the load on the HVAC systems within the building. This is achieved by strategically planning the solid/void nature of the façade along with using thermally efficient materials.

Creating a connection between the building and the outdoors both furthers the student experience and accommodates the current uses. This was achieved through setting a portion of the ground floor back, creating a connection of the building to the courtyard north of the building as well as an outdoor space on the top floor at the south of the building.

The current lecture hall in the building was failing to meet the current needs of the building. Attention was paid to provide a space large enough to accommodate the necessary occupancy as well as locating the space in an area where columns would not interrupt the learning opportunity of students.

25

In pursuit of creating a more environmentally friendly building, several approaches were taken. The incorporation of passive design principles allow for a more eco-friendly building. Also, the inclusion of a green roof not only helps with storm water management, but it also improves air quality by allowing the green space that was removed from the ground to be replaced at a higher elevation. Green roofs also contribute to the energy efficiency of a building, increase fire protection and reduce overhead noise.

The addition of ample study space while maintaining a good balance between quiet study spaces and breakout areas for students adds value to the student experience and produces higher levels of satisfaction. The openness of the new area of the building as well as the mezzanine space allows for the building to be the ‘heart’ of student experience for Civil Engineering, Architecture and Building students.

Showcasing student work not only helps promote the programs within the building but also creates a sense of pride amongst students. Creating a space where work could be displayed further promotes a successful student experience. This was achieved through the incorporation of this display area within the new atrium entrance that encompasses the ruin, students. It enhances the entrance to the building and users get an immediate feel of the building activities.

Building in the 21st century always pushes for the use of technology where possible to create an interesting experience or to allow for the construction of a better building. Aiming to use new technologies and be innovative helped to further push the redesign of the building and created a successful design concept.

We were given the task of developing the Sir John Laing Building at Coventry University in the United Kingdom. The redesign integrates an exoskeleton which allows for minimal disturbance to the existing structure. The addition of an atrium like circulation space incorporated into the exoskeleton helps toprovide a link between all levels of the building, old and new. Additionally, creating a connection between the building and the outdoors aims to both further the user experience and accommodate the current use of the spaces. We aimed to increase the thermal performance of the building by strategically planning the solid/void nature of the façade and using thermally efficient materials to reduce the footprint of the building and lessen the load on the HVAC system. This also allows less artificial lighting to be used during the day, which in turn helps to reduce the ecological footprint of the building. Theresult was a building that places importance on natural light to foster a successful learning and working environment while enhancing the image of the university and the experience of the occupants of the building. Our design utilizes passive construction strategies to develop a building that is not only sustainable but more economical.

We scheduled the construction phases around the school year to minimize the amount of disturbance caused to the buildings users. While the winter 2015 semester is in session, preparation for the exoskeleton is finalized. The majority of the structural work is completed during the summer months when the building can be completely shut down. Additionally, the old cladding is removed and the new structure is completely re-clad allowing the building to reach its waterproof milestone before the start of the fall 2015 semester. Lab and support spaces are completed for the new school year and the additional student spaces are finished by the winter break. The entire building reaches total performance by the end of the fiscal year and the building is handed over to the University for the winter 2016 semester.
