Design Achievement - Boys Hope Girls Hope of Northeast Ohio (BHGH) saves young lives and provides stability, support, and scholarship to bright and motivated children who come from challenging circumstances throughout Northeast Ohio. Since their first Doors of Hope opened in 1989, BHGH has been providing exceptional care and support to the children they serve by nurturing them and inspiring them to reach for their dreams. However, with 20 on-campus boarders and more than 100 students utilizing BHGH’s services, the organization did not possess the proper type of space needed to fulfill its mission. DLR Group’s design for a new state-of-the-art Academy and Community Center brings the BHGH Academy Program under one roof as the centerpiece of the campus. The new building offers space for more than 200 scholars to participate in an empowering home-like atmosphere that fosters a sense of pride from middle through high school. Our design solution includes a flexible environment that allows for large group collaborations and events, as well as one-to-one engagements. The design references the building’s residential context via form, material, and articulation, yet creates a modern and exciting environment for the scholars, utilizing bright colors, maximizing daylight, and deploying modern furniture. Scope Summary - The Academy Center is an approximately 7,000 SF two story building constructed as an addition to the recently acquired gymnasium adjacent to the northern border of the BHGH Campus of Hope. The new facility contains multiple collaborative classrooms, making spaces, art rooms, offices, conference and counseling rooms, science labs, a food preparation area, and “soft” lounge spaces for the scholars. A renovation of the former St. Peter and Paul School gymnasium creates countless opportunities for scholars to access safe and healthy physical wellness activities. Additional scope includes the installation of a 70-yard turfed field donated by the Cleveland Browns and funded through the Browns’ and Dee and Jimmy Haslams’ commitment to youth football as part of Browns Give Back. Finally, we created a central campus open space, designed to allow for formal ceremonies and casual use. DLR Group provided architecture, engineering (MEP, fire protection, and structural), interiors, and technology design.

This new market-rate housing complex is situated in the Hough Neighborhood directly across the street from the main entrance to the Cleveland Clinic’s medical campus. The development goal was to leverage the prosperity of the Greater University Circle area to revitalize, re-energize, reinvigorate, and respect the Hough neighborhood. The project was one also of the first developments to be designed within the City of Cleveland’s Healthy Community Design Principles Guidelines. These tenets include: promoting physical activity and a healthy lifestyle, improving air quality and resource conservation, and creating a safe environment that encourages social interaction. Originally challenged by the city’s building height restrictions, the development’s mid-rise scale serves as a transition from the institutional, high-rise character of its prominent neighbor to the south and the low-rise residential neighborhood to the north. The building is surrounded with wide, landscaped walks and planters to provide gathering and dining spaces. A vehicular and pedestrian open arcade connects through the building to the neighborhood beyond. The design’s extensive use of glass combined with the vertical expression of two shades of light brick conveys positive feelings of openness, optimism, and a fresh beginning. This mixed-use development is being constructed in two phases via Design-Build delivery and contains 300+ studio, one, and two bedroom apartments, as well as retail and offices in 360,000 SF of new construction on a 4.65-acre site. The ground floor and the two story tenant lobby are primarily retail use. Tenant amenities include a fitness center overlooking the lobby, as well as a shaded south-facing, open-air deck on the top floor with an adjacent community room with views of Lake Erie. A number of sustainable design elements were integrated into the design, including operable windows for natural ventilation, external sun shading on southern exposure, low-flow plumbing fixtures, LED lighting fixtures, storm water retention on site, and permeable pavement. Targeting LEED NC Silver certification, the project sets the bar for sustainable design for future development within the Hough neighborhood. The project is on an accelerated schedule with Phase 1 completing in July 2015 and Phase 2 currently underway.

Design Achievement - Situated in the heart of downtown Cleveland, The Beacon at 515 Euclid Ave. is a 19-story apartment tower constructed above an existing 8-story parking garage; Cleveland’s first residential high-rise since 1974. Conveniently situated on historic Euclid Ave in the central business district, tenants are steps away from the city’s famed Playhouse Square, Cleveland’s vibrant theatre district as well as having quick access to the many culinary options and professional sports venues that the urban center affords. The game-changing project is a collaboration between Boston's NADAAA and DLR Group. Scope Summary - The design of the comprehensive wayfinding + signage package was inspired by the architectural pattern of the building's façade. The repeated paneling that gives The Beacon its iconic look, was translated into patterning that was featured on the signage and experiential graphics. The materials and colors used in the signage family were selected to work seamlessly with the interior designs, providing a cohesive look and feel for both visitors and residents of the high-rise. The wayfinding + signage consisted of multiple zones; lobby (signage and branding implementation), parking garage (signage and experiential graphics), four unique zones of residential (signage), finally culminating with the Level 29 Sky Lounge rooftop shared space. DLR Group provided architecture and experiential graphic design for the project.

Design Achievement - Opened in 1931, Severance Hall is home to the Cleveland Orchestra, and has been recognized locally and nationally for its architectural and historical significance. DLR Group’s design and implementation for an array of targeted renovations to Severance Hall using State of Ohio appropriations funds revitalizes this cultural icon. As an outgrowth of the initial appropriations projects, DLR Group developed the 2017 master plan for the Musical Arts Association, the umbrella organization for the Cleveland Orchestra. The plan includes assessment of site conditions, infrastructure, and facilities to determine phased improvements to Severance Hall and Blossom Music Center, the outdoor summer home of the Orchestra. Visioning goals focused on maximizing utilization / return on investment and optimizing the patron experience for both venues, as well as balancing modernization with preservation for Severance Hall and increasing the connection to nature for Blossom Music Center. A key initiative of the master plan is the renovation of Reinberger Chamber Hall, a 400-seat venue within Severance Hall that provides an intimate space for smaller musical performances, lectures, and events. DLR Group’s design enhances accessibility and the patron experience, while adhering to Severance’s historical character. Scope Summary – Renovations to Severance Hall included improvements to ADA accessibility, theatrical lighting, and control upgrades; enhancements to decorative lighting in the lobbies and symphony hall; and the surgical replacement of outdated HVAC and plumbing systems threaded throughout concealed spaces of a 100-year old historic building. DLR Group assisted the client with evaluating and ranking facilities needs against available funds; establishing logistics plans, and procedures for phased construction in occupied, sensitive, and historic spaces; and navigating State bidding requirements. The Reinberger Chamber Hall renovation transformed an underutilized projection booth at the rear of the audience chamber into an ADA patron box. A portion of wall that was removed to accommodate the box was faced with a historic mural. The mural was carefully restored, extended, digitally reproduced, and printed on canvas for reinstallation in the new box. The existing carpeted stair nosings were dyed in contrasting colors to provide a visual reference for patron safety. A disused shaftway adjacent to the chamber hall was utilized for insertion of a vertical platform lift for wheelchair access. DLR Group provided master planning, architecture, MEP and structural engineering, and lighting design services.
Design Achievement - Karamu House was founded in 1915 by two social workers who wanted to establish a place where people of different racial, religious, social, and economic backgrounds could come together to share common experiences through the performing arts. Listed as the “oldest black theater in America” by the African American Registry, the theater produced works by Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, and Eugene O’Neill in the 1920s through 1930s. DLR Group’s design for the renovation of the outdated Jelliffe Theater allows the theater to continue its unique programming into the 21st century by providing a new seating configuration and state-of-the-art theatrical system upgrades. The warm red finishes continue the traditional color palette of the original design. Scope Summary - Robert P. Madison International, Inc. engaged DLR Group to renovate the largest of the theaters, the Jelliffe, with a new seating layout and configuration to meet ADA compliance, and with new finishes for the stage and house, including: new seating; new innovative performance technology; and new theatrical systems. The biggest design challenge was reconfiguring the seating for accessibility and improved sightlines, all while being done in an occupied building. The floor was also re-raked to meet performance standards. Theatrical upgrades included new dimming and performance lighting systems, new lighting control systems, LED house lighting, and new stage drapery. Technology upgrades included a new mixing console, I/O devices, speakers and sub woofers, audio infrastructure, and a 6,000 lumen WXGA projector. DDLR Group provided architectural, MEP and structural engineering, theater technical, and audiovisual design services as the theater consultant to Robert P. Madison International, Inc. architects.
Design Achievement: Formed in 1873 by members of the Methodist Church, Lakeside Chautauqua is a private resort community dedicated to nurturing mind, body, and spirit on the shores of Lake Erie. The historic community offers a variety of spiritual, educational, cultural, and recreational programming during a 10-week summer season and is seeking to expand its draw as a year-round destination for groups of all sizes. Hoover Auditorium, which opened in 1929 at the start of the Great Depression, typically hosts more than 70 live performances each summer but was not originally outfitted with permanent performance support or intended for winter use. DLR Group’s concept design addresses this need. While normally considered back of house, this stage house expansion is prominent within the neighborhood and will be designed to be compatible with the Mediterranean style of the existing historic building while looking to the future. Scope Summary: The scope of the project included a feasibility study for a new stagehouse and backstage support building for the existing Hoover Auditorium that will be capable of operating year-round. The new stage house will provide contemporary theatrical systems and full backstage support as well as rehearsal rooms, practice rooms, and classrooms for Lakeside’s music program. A removable, insulated wall at the proscenium will provide thermal isolation from the auditorium which is only used during the summer season. The stage will double as a black box theater in the off season with additional observation from upper classrooms into the performance space. The roof of the new construction is envisioned as a terrace overlooking the community to be used for a variety of gatherings and events. The structure will also house offices for Lakeside Chautauqua’s administration as well as for its music and theater programs. DLR Group’s services include architecture, MEP, structural engineering, theatrical, and audiovisual design.

LONG NARRATIVE: DLR Group prepared a comprehensive justice system master plan for Cuyahoga County’s detention, courts, and sheriff operation for their downtown Cleveland location. While the focus of this master plan is establishing the framework for new Court and Detention facilities, the effort itself has gone beyond simply defining facility needs and, more importantly, developing a framework for the future vision of the delivery of the justice services to the citizens of Cuyahoga County. The court-related effort has focused on the county’s Common Pleas Court and the city’s Municipal Court. DLR Group orchestrated through a series of Workshops a methodology to build consensus among the city and county stakeholders. These Workshops focus on ten primary deliverables for this project: Assessment of existing facilities Data Acquisition Service Demand Analysis and Projections Analysis of Systemic Alternatives Operational and Functional Programming Development of Space Standards Staffing Forecasts Space Programming Site Programming Options Development As a means of reducing the county’s jail population, the county proceeded with DLR Group’s recommended in developing an Interim Central Booking Center in their existing jail. This center engages the Municipal and Common Pleas court operation from pre-trial services, probation, and initial appearance court. An operational and architectural program and criteria documents were developed for the county to solicit design-build proposals. DLR Group was engaged to assist the county in reviewing the various proposals for recommendation and continues to play a role in overseeing the compliance of the design by the design-build team. DLR Group led the entire planning effort coordinating with numerous consultants to examine and develop a future vision for the county’s justice system. For the courts, DLR Group assessed the existing functional conditions, prepared staffing and spatial projections, introduce “best practices” for consideration in the planning of the facility, and developed several alternatives including new, renovation and expansion to house the future needs of the entire judicial system. Due to COVID-19, the courts planning component has been placed on hold until January 2021, at which time DLR Group will finalize our master plan to address the preferred alternative to house the future needs of the county and city judicial system. Awards/accomplishments on the project: In November 2020, the Steering Committee unanimously approved DLR Group’s proposal to proceed with the design and construction of a new low-rise detention center with a population estimated at 1,600 but to be reassessed based on the implementation of population management strategies.
Design Achievement - As a recognized world leader in Orthopedics, the Skills Lab and Stealth Lab for Innovation and Collaboration (SLIC) Lab at the Wexner Medical Center Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute was the brainchild of Christopher Kaeding, MD, and David Flanigan MD, Head Team Physician and Executive Director, Sports Medicine and Director of Cartilage Restoration Program Associate Professor of Orthopedics. This lab provides teaching, instruction, and will facilitate the development of new procedures for medical students and practitioners from around the world. The facility also offers medical equipment suppliers the ability to test and teach features of equipment used by practitioners. Scope Summary - The 6,100 SF state-of-the-art facility includes stations for up to 14 groups to work on cadavers. Ceiling elements were given detailed attention and were designed to offer flexibility and simplicity without compromising the functionality. The tech zone allows for utility services that support multiple configurations as well as changeable systems that allow for future adaptations to new equipment. The lab is designed for everything to have a place and offers an uncluttered environment that gives maximum space to the users. When used as a lab, the exhaust system is activated and the room air is exhausted out of the building to meet Gross Anatomy Lab guidelines. The air is returned to the main air handling unit in the penthouse during normal operation. Adjacent to the lab is cadaver storage including a freezer and refrigerator, a sterile processing operation, locker rooms with a shower, and a viewing gallery. Technology-rich group teaching rooms and breakout spaces provide connectivity to the lab. The SLIC lab adjacent to the Skills Lab allows for development, testing, and evaluation of proprietary systems along with an MTS room for joint testing. The lab complies with LEED Silver certification standards. DLR Group provided architecture, mechanical engineering, structural engineering, and interior design services.
NOT TO BRAND STANDARD The Adler Theatre in Davenport, Iowa was originally built in 1931 as the “Orpheum,” an RKO movie palace integral with the Mississippi Hotel. With 2350 seats, the Orpheum was the largest movie house in Iowa and was considered the area’s finest theatre for many years until gradually falling into disrepair in the 1960s and 1970s. A 1986 renovation restored the splendor of the Adler Theatre’s public spaces and grand audience chamber without addressing the stage house or support areas. In 2004, DLR Group was retained to resolve shortcomings of the backstage areas and the need for a deeper stage to accommodate today’s touring productions.? A key aspect of the $17.4 million project was the expansion of the stage house into the adjoining abandoned hotel, necessitating the demolition of ten stories of an interior structural bay and its replacement with a new ten story structural wall that forms the new back wall of the stage house.? Other improvements include: an increase in storage space, enhancement of the sound system, relocation of dressing rooms, installation of a new freight elevator allowing easy access of equipment and stage sets, improvement of stage lighting capabilities, new computer controlled motorized rigging system, acoustical treatments, replacement of the heating and cooling system, and the restoration of the west façade. In addition to architecture, MEPS engineering, and theatre technical services, DLR Group provided historic and New Markets tax credit consultation that resulted in $8.8 in additional funds for the project, which was completed on time in November 2006.
NOT TO BRAND STANDARD The project included site wide infrastructure updates, a renovation of the existing broadcast control room for compliance with ESPN 3 standards, and the addition of Broadcast cameras that can be utilized in different venues.  Equipment Highlights Include: New dedicated/isolated audio booth with in-room audio/video monitoring and digital audio networked mixing console for mixing broadcast audio.  Audio upgrades also included the integration of a multi-domain digital audio management system and a Dante clock interface to synchronize digital audio to the house master digital clock system. Renovated split production control rooms allowing up to 8 person broadcast support for large events and up to 3 person secondary control room to support small events.  Including new technical furniture, wall mounted display for production monitoring and studio monitors for critical listening to broadcast audio feed. Planning of flexible pathways that provide acoustical isolation between broadcast control and the equipment room for future cable pulls to support continuing evolution of the broadcast control technology connectivity.  Updated Video Production equipment including the addition of 5 Camera Control Units for Broadcast Cameras, Large SDI Routing Matrix, Video switching system with 2 M/E Control Surface, Replay System, Graphics System with scoreboard data integration, Multi-view System, and integrated system control panels and interfaces. Updated Equipment Headend to provide updated video, audio, intercom, and control equipment and integrate systems with existing headend equipment. Revision/Relocation of existing camera locations and the addition of new connectivity and camera locations to include updated power, fiber, data, and analog audio connections to support new/additional camera locations.  New camera locations used for broadcasts in different venues, and design included coordination of camera mounting/positioning logistics and renovation of existing venues with architecture to support the broadcast for various athletic events. Lighting Review of existing sports fields lighting as compared to Television broadcast requirements for College ESPN+ broadcasts at Basketball, Volleyball, Baseball, Soccer Track and Field.. Contributed to a series of suggested improvements at Baseball, Soccer Track and Field venues. Network Connectivity Created a campus wide digital media connectivity connection (fiber optic) system. This system connects all of the sports venues on the Campus. These venues include Football, Natatorium, Baseball, soccer, Tennis, Basketball, Volleyball, Track and Field. It also provides connections from all venues to both Broadcast Control Rooms.
Design Achievement – Part of the Cleveland Clinic Health System and repeatedly recognized as one of the nation’s Top 100 Hospitals, Hillcrest Hospital sought an innovative solution to meet its growing healthcare population needs across a four county region. Rising over an existing two-story building, the Hillcrest Hospital West Tower expansion enhances medical/surgical and oncology services with an attractive, efficient addition. Using a simplified organizational spine to stack services on a crowded campus, the design expresses the Patient’s First Ethos of the Cleveland Clinic Health System and offers innovative solutions to the challenges of constructing above an existing structure. Patient care areas are spacious and elegantly designed with natural materials, a soothing palette of colors, and consideration for clean, durable, and easily maintainable finishes. To address the nurse to patient ratio with consideration of patient acuity and assignment, a decentralized nurse station approach was utilized at each two-room pod. The contemporary identity of the West Tower is reflected with the new entrance that welcomes users into a light-filled atrium and connecting link that simplifies access, circulation, and wayfinding. Scope Summary – The West Tower expansion added 80,000 SF and 113 patient rooms to Hillcrest Hospital. Originally built in 1968, the hospital maximized capacity and services with the four-story vertical addition. Infrastructure and patient room planning involved routing the plumbing on the outside perimeter to avoid disruption of services. Renovated areas included the basement as well as first and second floors allowing the addition of a 24-chair infusion oncology department, a 12-bed intensive care unit, two operating rooms, an endovascular room, an eye surgery room, and an expansion of the post anesthesia care unit. The Radiation Oncology Therapy department was expanded in the basement to add a third linear accelerator. DLR Group provided architecture and interior design services.

Design Achievement – The programmatic needs of the Akron Art Museum had greatly increased since the early 1980s when DLR Group first preserved and adapted a former U.S. Post Office built in 1899 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places into a distinguished museum of photography and contemporary art. In response to the Museum's growing needs, the new addition allows the Museum to mount larger exhibitions and place more of its permanent collection on view. The design preserves the exterior of the existing Beaux Arts-style building, exclusive of the connection to the addition. Conceptually, the design changes the role of the Museum from a cultural repository to that of an urban event space. The Museum, as an event space, is a destination in the city where one can simultaneously interact with art, friends, and commerce. This concept of expanding the Museum’s role, of making it a center of activity and a place of learning, responds to the citizens of Akron and strengthens its connection to the greater urban fabric. Scope Summary - Completed in a collaboration between DLR Group and design architect, Coop Himmelb(l)au of Vienna, Austria, the new addition expands the museum's size from 36,000 to 88,000 SF. Spatially, the new addition is composed of three main architectural elements: the Crystal, the Gallery Box, and the High Roof. The Crystal is a glass-steel, three-story structure connecting the new addition to the existing building and creating an interior piazza that functions as the grand entrance and lobby of the addition. This structure also includes a cafe and store. The metal-clad, windowless Gallery Box cantilevers over portions of the grand lobby. The galleries housed within this structure are open, loft-like spaces that are flexible and configurable to allow the display of a wide variety of exhibitions. The windowless design shields the art from damaging sunlight. The metal-clad High Roof floats over the entire building, including both existing and new construction, creating a greater level of urban presence and providing shade to exterior spaces. An energy-efficient radiant heating and cooling system embedded in concrete beneath the wood floor was installed, a first for a museum in the United States. DLR Group collaborated with Design Architect Coop Himmelb(l)au and provided master planning, programming, architect of record, and engineer of record services for the project.
The engagement is a space allocation and evolutionary implementation study for LEAN Hospital consolidation(s) at SVCMC main campus in Cleveland.
Design Achievement - The Ohio State University (OSU), one of the nation’s top public universities, seeks to create high-quality learning environments for interaction across all arts disciplines. An initial two-year master planning and programming process led by DLR Group in collaboration with Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA) expands and consolidates the University’s Arts District. The team’s design of the initial phase of implementation concentrates the Timashev Family Music Building and the Department of Theatre, Film, and Media Arts Building into new sister buildings that share the same architectural DNA. Standing shoulder to shoulder at the threshold between city and campus, the forms greet and engage passersby at OSU’s main pedestrian entry. With performance and production spaces arranged to expose their interiors to the street and shared arts plaza, the design invites all to participate in the artistic endeavors within. Shared spaces provide opportunities for cross-pollination. Social space spanning the entire frontage of both buildings manifests as an architectural scaffold, an organizing element that reflects a similar feature at the University’s iconic Wexner Center for the Arts. Massing organized around large music and theater venues allows upper floors of each building to benefit from natural perimeter light and to house double-height volumes for moving image production sound stages and acting/rehearsal studios. Scope Summary - The project includes an addition to OSU’s Weigel Concert Hall with minimal renovations to existing rehearsal spaces and an update to the lobby as the connecting joint to the new School of Music building. Along with this 8,000 SF renovation, the two buildings add nearly 196,500 SF of new arts program comprising a 400-seat proscenium theater, a 130-seat thrust theater, a 200-seat recital hall, a sound stage, and other spaces designed specifically for music, moving image production, and theater education. Exterior windows within performance spaces are acoustically rated and have blackout capabilities. The recital hall features warm woods that envelope the audience in diffused sound and clerestories that allow light to fall into the hall. Music from the recital hall can be piped into the shared arts plaza and visual media can be projected on the south wall of the Department of Theatre, also adjoining the plaza. The design follows the University's Green Building and Energy Policy standards. DLR Group is the prime and architect/engineer of record, and also leads the design of performance venues and support spaces, and is providing theater planning, architecture, interiors, MEP and structural engineering, audiovisual, theatrical, lighting, information technology, and acoustical services. RAMSA leads the design of public spaces, building massing, and façade.
The engagement is a space allocation and evolutionary implementation study for LEAN Hospital consolidation(s) at SVCMC main campus in Cleveland.
Design Achievement - The new Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage builds bridges of understanding by sharing Jewish heritage through the lens of the American experience. DLR Group’s design, emphasizing minimalist simplicity and refined elegance, creates an iconic form with monumental presence symbolically integrated into its landscape. In a unifying gesture, the project excavates the site for the museum and its outdoor garden to correlate to the elevation of the adjacent Temple-Tifereth Israel–a major intervention that creates figural outdoor space flanking the museum. The land around the cut in the earth is shaped as a berm sheathed with the same hand-tooled Jerusalem limestone as the building and reminiscent of a “wall of remembrance.” The procession from the site entry is heightened by the selective revelation of the museum, viewed above the rim of the descending berm. The building’s façade is cut and tooled with several finishes to evoke the texture of ancient city walls. The stone creates an endless play of light and shadow within a modern vocabulary. Inside the museum, space is fluid and open, with column-free space achieved through the use of long-span joists. The building plan, simple and functional, zones programmatic elements into clusters that have access to natural light and exhibit areas that must be protected from light. Scope Summary - An open lobby welcomes visitors into this new 24,000 SF museum. The lobby serves as a multi-use center hall (available to members for private event rental), clearly guiding visitors to select from multiple exhibit and activity areas. Galleries include: a core 7,000 SF immersive exhibition space illuminating a streetscape of Jewish experience; a flexible, 4,300 SF special exhibition gallery for traveling exhibits with a transition gallery and viewing room; and the 2,300 SF Temple-Tifereth Israel Gallery, which is visible from the exterior and contains the collection of Judaica. The museum also features a 60-seat briefing theater/lecture hall and a retail store. The project employed a number of sustainable elements, including use of high-performance glazing to reduce solar load and increase HVAC efficiency, locally sourced materials, and daylighting. DLR Group provided architecture, interior design, MEP and structural engineering services.
Design Achievement - The Maltz Performing Arts Center is the result of an innovative partnership between The Temple-Tifereth Israel and Case Western Reserve University, which purchased the iconic 1924 synagogue at the edge of campus with the intent to consolidate the University’s music and performing arts programs at one location. The multi-phased project renovated the historic sanctuary to accommodate music performances, lectures, and continued use as a place of worship and gathering and expanded the facility with a sizable addition for the University’s Theater and Dance Departments. DLR Group’s design for the expansion complements rather than competes with the temple’s distinctive golden-hued dome. Major program elements reside within largely opaque boxes sheathed in panels of limestone reminiscent of the stonework on the original temple. Stone-faced portions, including lobbies and faculty offices, are separated by sections with floor-to-ceiling glass, creating the effect of a geode – a solid form with a crystalline core. This new consolidated home for the University’s Music, Dance, and Theater programs terminates the western edge of CWRU’s Nord Greenway project, visually positioning the performing arts at one end with the Cleveland Museum of Art and the visual arts at the other end of the Greenway.   Scope Summary – This multi-phased project involved 45,000 SF of renovation and a 65,000 SF addition. Phase 1 renovated the historic sanctuary, primarily used by the Music Department, to accommodate 1,350 seats for lectures and 1,100 seats for concerts when the full performance stage is configured. The Phase 2 addition contains a 250-seat proscenium theater, a 100-seat black box/studio theater, back of house support, front of house amenities, classrooms, and faculty offices. The expansion replaces earlier classroom additions to the Temple built in 1925 and 1957, which were neither architecturally distinguished, nor eligible for re-use due to their low ceilings and narrowly-spaced columns. The project gives the expanded Maltz Center two new entrances leading to a new lobby running north-south through the addition and re-locates the service dock from the main façade to a more unobtrusive spot. The project achieved LEED v4 BD+C Gold certification.

Design Achievement – Situated prominently within Cleveland’s cultural district, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History is a pillar of science, education, research, conservation, and community engagement. Supporting the Museum’s multiphase Centennial Transformation project, DLR Group’s design of several phases of renovation and an iconic addition will enhance exhibit, educational, and gathering spaces. New, renovated, and reorganized exhibit spaces expand programming and improve visitor circulation with connections to the exterior and to nature. The design re-imagines the presentation of the Museum’s world-renowned collections and research labs by relocating these previously behind-the-scenes spaces alongside exhibits giving visitors a glimpse into the inner workings of the Museum and providing new opportunities for learning. Inspired by the Museum’s commitment to sustainability and its relationship with surrounding bodies of water, alluvial shapes within the design create a single and continuous form that ties together current and previous additions. Furthermore, the design consolidates two remote entries into a new grand visitors hall. A new cafe expansion increases the Museum’s prominence on Wade Oval – a park that is the front door for a number of cultural institutions. Scope Summary – This multi-phased project builds upon the firm's decades-long relationship with the Cleveland Museum of Natural History dating to 1955. The ‘Gateway’ phase, planned to coincide with the Museum’s centennial celebrations, renovates the auditorium and courtyard and adds a new Current Science gallery and central utility plant. Two additional phases include a two-story, 50,000 SF addition and renovations to the 217,250 SF existing facility. The addition includes interactive science studios, prep labs, visitors hall with adjacent museum gift shop, a lobby, and, a café. Among the renovations are upgrades to collections and exhibit areas, research spaces, offices, and classrooms; reorganization of all public galleries on the main level; and consolidation of all collection storage. The project is targeting LEED v4 Silver certification. DLR Group is providing architecture, interiors, MEP engineering, and structural engineering, lighting; and technology design services.

Design Achievement - The Maltz Performing Arts Center is the result of an innovative partnership between The Temple-Tifereth Israel and Case Western Reserve University, which purchased the iconic 1924 synagogue at the edge of campus with the intent to consolidate the University’s music and performing arts programs at one location. The multi-phased project renovated the historic sanctuary to accommodate music performances, lectures, and continued use as a place of worship and gathering and expanded the facility with a sizable addition for the University’s Theater and Dance Departments. DLR Group\|Westlake Reed Leskosky’s design for the expansion complements rather than competes with the temple’s distinctive golden-hued dome. Major program elements reside within largely opaque boxes sheathed in panels of limestone reminiscent of the stonework on the original temple. Stone-faced portions, including lobbies and faculty offices, are separated by sections with floor-to-ceiling glass, creating the effect of a geode – a solid form with a crystalline core. This new consolidated home for the University’s Music, Dance, and Theater programs terminates the western edge of CWRU’s Nord Greenway project, visually positioning the performing arts at one end with the Cleveland Museum of Art and the visual arts at the other end of the Greenway. Scope Summary – This multi-phased project involved 45,000 SF of renovation and a 65,000 SF addition. Phase 1 renovated the historic sanctuary, primarily used by the Music Department, to accommodate 1,350 seats for lectures and 1,100 seats for concerts when the full performance stage is configured. The Phase 2 addition contains a 250-seat proscenium theater, a 100-seat black box/studio theater, back of house support, front of house amenities, classrooms, and faculty offices. The expansion replaces earlier classroom additions to the Temple built in 1925 and 1957, which were neither architecturally distinguished, nor eligible for re-use due to their low ceilings and narrowly-spaced columns. The project gives the expanded Maltz Center two new entrances leading to a new lobby running north-south through the addition and re-locates the service dock from the main façade to a more unobtrusive spot. The project is designed to exceed LEED Silver standards. DLR Group is the prime architect serving as the lead designer for architecture, MEP and structural engineering, and all theatrical, acoustics, audiovisual, and lighting design services for the Phase 2 expansion. DLR Group\|WRL also completed the initial feasibility study for the project and served as Associate Architect for Phase 1, responsible for historic preservation and on-site construction administration services, as a consultant to Design Architect MGA Partners. DLR Group acquired Westlake Reed Leskosky in September 2016. Today, the combined design expertise and resources of Westlake Reed Leskosky and DLR Group serve clients as a global, integrated design firm committed to elevating the human experience through design.

Design Achievement - The landmark Tennessee Theatre in downtown Knoxville is restored to its full Spanish-Moorish splendor following an extensive rehabilitation, expansion, and modernization program. Originally designed as a movie palace, the 66,475 SF Tennessee Theatre opened in 1928 as one of the grandest theaters in the South. By the late 1990’s, the sumptuous Tennessee was dated and tired, and its entire stage and support were inadequate for modern performances and touring productions. The restoration of this historic theater features a new, expanded stage house for symphony, opera, and a variety of performing arts groups. The design enables the theater to meet today’s demanding performance expectations while honoring its historic design features. Situated on an urban block, the upstage wall extended to the property line on a major thoroughfare, which adjoins a neighboring cemetery. The challenge of the stage house expansion was the incorporation of proper "load-in" and staging areas, while considering traffic flow, proximity to the cemetery, and compatibility with adjacent historic architecture. The design solution cantilevers the stage over the street, overcoming the construction challenges of casting caissons and working in an area known for poor soils, caves, and the relics of older subterranean buildings. The project was funded through public and private support including a windfall of $6 million in Historic and New Market tax credits, secured with the assistance of our firm. Within three months of re-opening, the 1,600 seat theater was ranked 47th on Pollstar's List of Top 50 Theaters. This project has been widely published and has received numerous honors, including an award from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Scope Summary - In addition to the stage house expansion, the project also included an enlarged orchestra pit, new service and passenger elevators, adequate theater support spaces such as dressing rooms, wardrobe, crew and storage, acoustic and audio improvements, and the correction of deficiencies in the re- shaping of the original audience chamber while preserving essential historic features. Upgrades encompassed theatrical systems required for contemporary productions, including new rigging, theatrical lighting and control and soft goods; modifications for accessibility within the audience chamber and support areas; and mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection systems. Patron amenities were improved and expanded, such as a new box office, modernized restroom facilities, new seats and improved sightlines, concessions, and lounges. Interior work involved new carpeting, draperies, and lighting fixtures replicating the original design, as well as the historic restoration of plaster and paint surfaces throughout the lobby, lounge, foyers, and auditorium. DLR Group provided historic architectural consultation for the restoration of all historic public spaces, as well as the construction of a new stage house, with related performance support facilities. The firm consulted on interior design, including soft goods of grand drape and decorative draperies throughout the audience chamber and lobby areas, and served as theatrical, mechanical/electrical/plumbing, and tax credit consultant.

NOT TO SPEC DLR Group was retained by the OSU Wexner Medical Center to address concerns about a surgery center addition that had completed schematic design, with the concern being the efficacy of the concept. DLR Group completed a high level evaluation of the current physical plant and infrastructure, along with a logical future plan for the antiquated facility. For the Surgery Center, we identified three approaches, including the current recommendation of joining the expansion directly to the building. For the balance of the hospital, DLR Group demonstrated a sequential expansion that could ‘engulf’ the investment made in the current need surgery center. As a result of the master plan, the University instructed the architectural firm to abolish the original scheme and proceed on the basis of one of the options developed by DLR Group. The project is currently under construction.

NOT TO DLR GROUP STANDARD NEW FROM TODD MAYHER 11/2022 Similar to the rivers that shaped the region, the Ohio River Museum and Washington County Genealogy Library is a confluence of cultural identities in Marietta, Ohio, combining the historical significance of the region with its connected development to the rivers. DLR’s design celebrates this by creating a building influenced by the historical industrial heritage of the city with resilient construction able to withstand flooding conditions. Located along the Muskingum River, the new building raises main floor above the 500-year flood plain, creating a secondary covered outdoor spaces below that can be used by the museum for community events. Most of the program is distributed along the second level including the Genealogy Library, Multi-Purpose Rooms, Exhibit Gallery, Gift Shop, and Lobby with the Reception Desk. Both the Lobby and Multi-Purpose Rooms open up to a balconies that provide views out towards the river. The building is targeting LEED Silver Certification. OLDER The Ohio River Museum will be a new 12,000 SF building that will replace the existing museum for the Ohio History Connection. The new museum will occupy half of the space while the rest will contain a genealogy library and archive, two multipurpose rooms, a front desk and lobby, and other support areas. The site is prone to flooding especially being on the bank of the Muskingum River right before joining the Ohio River. To address this, the new museum will be elevated over 12’-0” from the street level, well above the 100-year flood plain. The design approach uses resilient materials on the first floor that are able to withstand flood waters when necessary. The elevated structure above borrows from the residential vernacular that surrounds the site and also employs details from waterfront and river boat architecture that speak to the building’s purpose. Careful attention was paid to the spaces below the elevated museum where they could be used as outdoor exhibit spaces or gathering areas for the public. The building will be constructed in two phases with the building envelope and library spaces starting in 2021. Phase 2 which is the interior fit-out of the museum space and demolition of the existing museum building is expected to start in 2023. The Ohio River Museum will replace an existing facility that it has out grown, is difficult to operate, and whose floor level is within the flood plain of the Muskingum River. The new building will elevate all museum and exhibit spaces above the flood plain, consolidate the museum space into a single gallery, and be designed to reflect the historical architecture of Marietta. Operations of the building will be shared with the Local History and Genealogy Archives of the Washington County Genealogy Library and provide multi-purpose rooms with views of the river from a wrap-around terrace.

The Ohio Department of Youth Services (ODYS) is developing a comprehensive facilities Master Plan which will provide the framework for future ODYS program development and facilities improvement at each of the agency’s institutions, and support ODYS Capital and Maintenance program planning. A Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) of each facility was completed in 2015 and will be provided to the selected consultant. This project will develop the final Master Plan report including evaluations and recommendations from this consultant with consideration given to the gathered data from the facilities condition assessment of all buildings, structures, systems and sites previously completed. The FCA has data on approximately 450,000 square feet of facilities across 3 campuses located in various counties across the state, Circleville Juvenile Correctional Facility, Cuyahoga Hills Juvenile Correctional Facility, and Indian River Juvenile Correctional Facility. The project will have three phases. Phase 1 will gather information through interviews of main operating departments within the agency to determine previous and current goals and priorities, current program needs, and American Correctional Association deficiencies and future initiatives and projects being planned. Program areas will include reintegration, safety and security, youth classification, health and dental care, mental health care, education and skills development, and additional program areas as defined by the Agency through the goal and priority development process. Phase 2 will be visioning, setting goals and objectives, developing criteria guidelines for programs and sustainability and determining priority. Phase 3 will be developing the final plan including site utilization, space usage, recommended projects and phasing within the multi-biennium Capital Improvement Plan process for each facility.

In the relocation of their highly acclaimed distillery, Cleveland Whiskey seeks to upgrade and diversify their manufacturing processes while demonstrating leadership in both sustainability and community economic growth. In the orchestration of a highly complex team including manufacturing process engineers, equipment manufacturers, and specialists in the submission of applications for historic tax credits, DLR Group leadership brings together the key players to ensure that the end result achieves the economics, efficiencies, and aesthetic magnet desired by the client. The initiative is seen as a catalyst to inspire and spur development of adjacent properties in this riverfront neighborhood located in the Flats along the Cuyahoga River, minutes from the central business district. The operations will relocate to an existing vacant building along with new construction totaling 33,200 square feet. The existing building was originally used for food wholesale distribution. The original use as a terminal is an early example of turn-of-the-century food marketing and serves as the basis for the sought designation of landmark status. In addition to the production operations, the building will be used as a visitor center with a full-service restaurant, gift shop, and tasting lounge and will offer tours of the distillery. The design team seeks to create a benchmark facility that demonstrates how to responsibly manage hospitality operations in a pandemic era. In their experience with past landmark structures that employed tax credits as a part of the financial package, the team will balance the esthetic of the past with an infusion of the new to create a dynamic place of desire for both patrons and employees of Cleveland Whiskey. DLR Group provides architectural, engineering and interior design disciplines for this initiative.

Design Achievement – The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame aims to capitalize on recent renovations and rising attendance by expanding its iconic building at North Coast Harbor in Cleveland. The planned expansion incorporates views from the museum to the lake; creates spaces for community performance, special events, and education; and increases space for exhibits, object conservation, and research. A prominent feature of DLR Group’s design is a glass-enclosed connection along the harbor’s waterfront promenade that links the Rock Hall to the neighboring Great Lakes Science Center. The curving, landscape-hugging structure built into the hillside joins the two museums, provides views between the city and Lake Erie, activates the waterfront, and maximizes Rock Hall event spaces. It also maintains key views of I.M. Pei’s landmark Rock Hall building. The curved glass edge along the lower plaza of the space reflects both sky and water, establishing a connection to the lake. Scope Summary – The 50,000 SF expansion includes an integrated performance venue, sweeping outdoor projection surface, lake terrace, public park/lawn, classrooms, conservation and research labs, and clerestory for offices and common areas. Other improvements targeted for the expansion include creating a covered drop-off/valet zone; integrating the existing plaza stage into the new expansion and providing support; and creating circulation for visitors between the upper plaza and lower connector levels. DLR Group provided concept design.

Lucas County, Ohio, operates a Correctional Treatment Center as a post-adjudicated treatment facility. DLR Group worked closely with the user agency during the early stages of the project to design a facility that not only matched the available construction dollars but also met the needs and vision of the facility without compromising the scope or functionality of the building. The intent of the facility is to provide programming for non-violent felons to assist them in transforming their behavior such that they become productive members of society upon release with the intent to reduce recidivism in the community. Despite the value orientation of the project, DLR Group’s design incorporates national best practices in a building that is healing and transformative. The facility will provide a program-rich environment designed to assist the residents in a personal and emotional transformation that will allow them to remain out of the criminal justice system upon completion of the program. The challenges are not only to provide a normative “best practice” facility but also to blend the support services of the two programs while maintaining sight and sound separation between the sexes. Initially a male-only program, the high level of success lead Lucas County to develop a matching female program. The additions and renovations to the existing male facility added forty-eight beds of female program capacity. Included were intake, medical, classroom, and programming spaces for both sexes.
Design Achievement: In 2018, Bowling Green State University identified three areas within their athletics campus impacting the recruitment of their student-athletes that needed improvement for them to remain competitive in attracting and developing star athletes. DLR Group designers were selected to plan and design improvements to two areas at the Stroh Center Arena and a third space at the Sebo Athletic Center. Stroh Center is home to the men’s basketball program and hosts many others for concerts, graduation, lectures and other campus events. The Men’s locker room and the athletic hall of fame and museum located in the arena’s concourse were both targeted for improvement. The renovation to the Men’s locker room was recently completed using a donation to the men’s basketball program. The Hall of Fame and a third project, a renovation to the weight room located at the Sebo Athletics Center, will be completed as funding becomes available. Scope Summary: The 500 SF locker room renovation replaced all the lockers and upgraded the flooring, ceiling, and other finishes. The state-of-the-art solid surface lockers reflect a clean, minimalistic look with subtle branding using an embossed logo on the locker fronts and custom hooks inside the lockers. Lockers feature recessed doors that slide back into a pocket to open-up for athletes but can be closed to maintain a clean look for the many locker room tours. The design of the 5,500 SF Heritage Hall, located in the main lobby of the Stroh Center, includes a gallery space within an existing designated hall of fame area, hosting permanent exhibits and artifacts that tell the story of BGSU athletics, exhibiting artifacts, people, teams, events, and other foundation stories. This area can be opened and secured, utilizing pivoting exhibit walls. An outer area will be transformed into a flexible gallery and event space to host exhibitions, as well as pre- and post-game events, such as chalk talks and donor events for Athletics and the greater University. A complete replacement of training equipment in the 9,000 SF Weight Room, plus new performance flooring and areas of artificial turf for training and skills development are planned at Sebo Athletics Center. The space will be repainted and include a new athletics graphics package, reflecting the history of BGSU athletics. The Weight Room will be outfitted with state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, including an integrated distributed flat screen system and a new sound system.

In 2004 the Laramie County Commissioners authorized the purchase of 875 acres known as the Archer Property, east of Cheyenne on Interstate 80, with the intent of creating a recreational and administrative complex that would serve County residents and regional patrons. In May 2008, County residents approved a Special Purpose Tax to fund site infrastructure improvements as well as the development of administrative buildings, a public works maintenance facility and a shooting park range at the Archer Complex. DLR Group was hired by the County in November 2008 to develop a near and long-term master land use plan for the complex, and to study current and future use of the existing Laramie County government buildings in downtown Cheyenne. The DLR Group team spent three months leading workshops and meetings with County staff to determine their future space needs. The County established as some of its primary goals the following: the development of sustainable design and construction practices for the development of the Archer site and facilities, the determination of potential for future growth of County functions and facility needs, and the development of options for the operation and use of the existing downtown government buildings. Options for improving the energy efficiency of the existing downtown County government buildings was also a part of this Study. The Laramie County Government Operations Facility Study Report is the result of a five month programming and planning process and incorporates the mission and goals established by Laramie County and its constituent community members and public agencies, as expressed through a series of open house forums, community meetings and presentations.
