NOT TO SPEC As we continued our collaboration with Catawba College under our Continuing Service Agreement, an additional evaluation and building assessment was requested for three of the residence halls on campus. Specifically, we evaluated Stanback, Salisbury Rowan, and Woodson Hall. For each of these residence halls, DLR Group, in partnership with Terracon, meticulously reviewed the building envelope, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical systems. Additionally, we assessed overall accessibility and space utilization. During our assessment, DLR Group provided a comprehensive analysis of the requirements necessary to bring the buildings up to code compliance. We also proposed an updated layout to create a more open student lounge space, complete with renovated dorm rooms featuring ensuite bathrooms. Each study included an opinion of probable cost, along with a timeline for the renovations. Notably, we performed a partial renovation of the current lounges in Woodson and Salisbury Rowan Residence Halls, refreshing all finishes and introducing new furniture.

Design Achievement – Years ago, our firm created an “office of the future” for Clarion Partners to thrive in. Almost a decade later, they approached us once again for their relocation to help transition the timeless design story into a new space. DLR Group’s design for this new office maintains the fresh and functional feel of Clarion Partners’ previous location while effectively enhancing the overall brand standards of the company. Warm woods and sleek white marble surfaces bring the space together and create a through line traveling from one floor to the next of this ample workplace. With modern desking and agile seating, each individual office and independent accessible workstation maintain the same look and feel, upholding the brand value of equity across the board. Adapting to a new generation of employees, collaboration is the driving element for each piece of this space, from the vast new conference center to house any kind of visitor, to the intimate seating areas interspersed throughout. Taking cues from the hospitality experience, choice-based workspaces and wellness amenities are at the forefront of the physical space. The all-new kitchen area and open work café welcome employees as they enter the office, transforming Clarion Partners’ new workplace into a destination. Scope Summary – The scope for the project encompassed one and a half floors of office space in this building, with 9,065 square feet on the 15th floor and 28,845 square feet on the 16th floor.  New work areas of this relocation included a large conference center on the partial floor, a hierarchy of large to medium individual employee offices, and various private phone rooms, all within accessible reach from any point within the workplace. Lounging and socializing areas featured bright new furniture of various feels and finishes, as well as a kitchen and working cafe. The moving into the space, it was necessary to integrate the existing staircase between floors and to create alternate staffing areas which could accommodate company growth. A challenge for this project was facing the unique underfloor air systems of the structure, which pushed both engineering and interior teams to find innovative design solutions. DLR Group provided interior design, lighting design, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering services.

Headline: A Gathering Affair Design Achievement: The taverns of Colonial Boston played a vital role in society, providing all means of support and connection to residents and travelers. DLR Group’s design draws inspiration from the public meeting spaces of historic Boston but with a modern and fresh interpretation of the traditional designs of a bygone era. Warm and inviting, the public spaces draw visitors in from the attached mall, whether to check in to the newly refreshed Sheraton club or have a drink at the new center bar. The heart of the replanned lobby, the bar is a juxtaposition of shapes and tones: a rounded and reflective light tops the square and dark bar. Adjoining spaces embody the “new tavern” feel: modern furniture with historic details provide ample seating options and curated art nods to the town’s past. Scope Summary: This 740,000 SF, 820-key effort included the renovation of public spaces, meeting rooms, and the application of new Sheraton-brand standards to guest rooms. The team faced challenges in moving the Sheraton club down to the lobby level, moving the bar to an entirely new location, implementing a buffet that could be hidden during the day, seamlessly weaving in the new guest room standards with the existing design, and mitigating the client’s concerns around making the old, sprawling lobby a more energetic and attractive space. Working closely with food and beverage designers, the brand, and operations, our designers determined priorities and replanned the lobby to meet those goals. DLR Group provided interior design services.

Design Achievement In an effort to develop student well-being, the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) is consolidating all departments that promote welfare under the Division of Student Engagement and Well-Being (SEWB). DLR Group hosted a series of workshops to determine how physical space could be reconfigured and improved to reflect this newly unified organizational structure and to better serve the needs of students from various backgrounds and identities.   DLR Group began by engaging more than 400 students and staff in a series of informal “person on the corner” conversations and detailed focus groups to understand the needs and struggles, within Georgia Tech’s extremely diverse student body. Working collaboratively with each department, the planning team explored their challenges and the types of space required to best serve students. These conversations resulted in a plan that emphasizes the synergies between departments with similar purposes and provides shared hubs that meet the student population’s diverse needs in a way that is accessible and integrated. The final program bridges siloes and envisions spaces that create a physical embodiment of Georgia Tech’s unified approach to student well-being, belonging, and engagement.   Scope Summary The “Experiential Path” is the hub of Georgia Tech’s student services, bookended by the Campus Recreation Center and the newly renovated Student Center. Several buildings along the Experiential Path need significant renovations, and one of the larger buildings is being completely vacated. DLR Group is creating a detailed program for these buildings, including approximately 150,000 square feet of space, based on the needs of each department.   A series of collaborative workshops allowed students, staff, and leadership to provide hands-on input on identified needs and recommendations. The programming focused on wellness services and informal wellness spaces to become an integrated part of the campus experience. The resulting program encourages a holistic approach to serving students through several departments including counseling, student organizations, diversity, ethics, student health, and the arts. The program also includes space for a Black Cultural Center and the Women’s Center, LGBTQIA Center, and AAPI Center, as well as shared spaces for the cultural communities on campus. The plan also recommends renovating aging buildings to better interact with the Experiential Path and invite students to gather and enjoy spaces.

Design Achievement – Nestled in the bountiful region of Abha, The Point, a new mixed-used destination set to benchmark retail, dining, entertainment, and hospitality, captures the essence and history of the capital city. In line with the region’s efforts to promote tourism and fortify the economy, Red Sea Markets partnered with DLR Group to craft a memorable lifestyle and shopping destination that caters to locals and visitors alike. DLR Group’s design celebrates a contemporary indoor-outdoor experience elevating boutique retail, vibrant street shopping, lifestyle-focused dining, and hospitality with entertainment uses. At its core, a grand central public space, anchored by a ceremonial entrance, is the epicenter of the development featuring dynamic water elements and an outdoor amphitheater. Surrounding patios and terraces offer unobstructed vistas of the central entertainment space, creating a harmonious synergy of space and experience. The site’s significant elevation changes provide the canvas for tiered terrace levels, gracefully deconstructing the scale of the development while affording sweeping panorama views within the project and towards the mountains beyond. Rooted in the Abha’s local identity, the design aesthetic pays homage to the rich character of the region. Natural elements such as mud and wood form the architectural foundation, and indigenous geometric forms and vibrant hues thread their way through the interiors, textiles, and accent details, creating a symphony of art and culture throughout the development. By embracing the city’s identity, The Point seamlessly intertwines tradition with the contemporary aspects of modern living, fostering an atmosphere that radiates with energy, promising an unforgettable journey for all who cross its threshold. Scope Summary – This new mixed-use development will total approximately 20 acres, comprising 59,000 square meters of retail, food and beverage, and entertainment; a 150-key Canopy by Hilton hotel; a 100-key Hilton Residences; and a medical clinic, a youth center, a hypermarket, and 1,658 parking spaces to accommodate the different uses. The development's planning concept revolves around centrality, a widely embraced approach in the region that prioritizes community-centered planning. This approach celebrates the significance of vibrant central spaces and courtyards, serving as focal points for gatherings and celebrations. One of the primary projects challenges is the site’s sloping terrain, which presented the opportunity to create a multi-level experience, connecting various components of the project. The design incorporates large plazas, a covered atrium, and open parks at different elevations, aiming to offer intimate and awe-inspiring moments with views of the city center while providing a distinctive shopping and entertainment experience. Additionally, the sloping site character enabled our design approach of the contextual plan and massing to resonate with Abha’s historical planning and building strategies. The project prioritizes sustainability and energy conservation through various strategies aimed to optimize the project's commitment to green the city, promote active lifestyles, and reduce environmental impact. This includes the allocation of south-facing solar panels on inaccessible and non-visible roofs to maximize sun exposure, the use of local flora to minimize landscape maintenance and water usage, the implementation of double-walls with thermal insulation for reduced utility costs, and the installation of south-facing louvered canopies to shield facades from UV exposure. The project also incorporates reflective double-glazing to provide thermal insulation and noise reduction, particularly benefiting residential and hospitality units near active plazas and events spaces. Site construction began Spring 2023, and the project is tracking towards completion by Summer of 2026. DLR Group provided planning, architecture, and interior design services as lead consultant.

*Refer to Client as Confidential Entertainment Company.* Design Achievement. In response to a corporate reorganization, this confidential entertainment company addressed the resulting fragmentation of nine business units spread across 20+ locations through a consolidation into a 21-story office tower. Taking a conservative approach to planning as hybrid work policies and employee in-office frequency continued to evolve, minimum refresh and renovation work was planned prior to move-in to minimize short-term capital expenditures and construction. Targeted finish and branding upgrades were documented and priced, along with the replacement of non-standard ancillary furniture from company inventory. Reality capture of existing conditions and furniture provided the foundation for determining pre-move upgrades while programming meetings identified business-critical spaces that required more significant intervention prior to occupancy. The new hybrid work environment was planned at a ratio of 1.5 employees per individual workspace (private office/workstation), enabling collocation of all groups to enhance workflow efficiencies and team collaboration. Scope Summary. The scope of this work involved planning for the restack and strategic tenant improvements within a 21 story, 316,800 SF building. Reality capture of the building was two-fold. OpenSpace and point cloud scans captured comprehensive visuals of the building interior which proved to be an invaluable reference to our team and the client throughout to identify needed finish and furniture upgrades without requiring a return trip to the site. Secondly, a full building scan enabled the team to create the Revit Model. The team utilized CTC tools to duplicate sheets and align views and created project-specific furniture Revit families with special attributes so that the team could graphically illustrate, filter, and inventory non-standard, old-standard, and current standard furniture. All project presentation and deliverable materials were developed in Revit. (2023) Following a change in leadership and subsequent reorganization of this division, the project is on hold pending approval and/or redesign.

Design Achievement - Located at the southern tip of Fenghuang Coast of Sanya. Sanya International Art Harbor aims to create an interactive, adaptable, yet landmarked cultural complex over the world. The design will unfold this art district, allows more street life, and welcomes a vibrant art atmosphere. DLR Group’s design contains a series of buildings in organic form like arks with unique spatial experiences, based on the positive and negative spaces of the ship-shaped container, since Sanya is a city growing up with sea and ships throughout history. It will represent the spirit of ‘stride collectively, striving hard, and advancing bravely’, riding the wind and waves and sailing far away. The team designed the International Culture Relics and Artworks Trading Center of Hainan,China , and Sanya Culture and Art Center, with a scattered landscape and wharf. The team also created interesting exterior and interior spaces with floating shell and full height open spaces, which provided a comfortable and friendly, borderless cultural roaming experience for indoor and outdoor performances, exhibitions, and art activities. In addition, the featured landscape with the wharf was designed to utilize the concept of waves’ “track”, which guides the direction from the building to outdoors and seaside, forming an integrated landscape and planning structural system. Especially, the design takes Sanya’s climate into consideration and adopts the form of large overhanging roofs to create positive spaces for the city. Thus avoids the direct influence of sunlight and rain, allowing people to move freely through the building in all weather conditions. The unique shape and contour of the building outline a distinctive skyline of Sanya Bay, which is like a sculpture, standing on the seaside! Scope Summary - The work scope for this project consisted of 16.4 ha site area (409,000 sqm GFA) urban space design and 5.8 ha site area (87,000 sqm GFA) architectural design. The urban space design includes 3 high-rise towers of a 220M five-star hotel, a 178M office building, a 140M office tower and retail podiums with infrastructure supporting programs.

Design Achievement Morganton is an idyllic town of 18,000 at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. The town built the CoMMA Performing Arts Center in the early 1980’s as a civic auditorium and regional attractor for high quality performing arts, but as the town has grown in size, diversity, and ambition CoMMA has remained unchanged. Morganton asked DLR Group to create a master plan for the facility that would both identify and prioritize needed upgrades to finishes and systems, while also creating a vision for what a revitalized CoMMA could be. DLR Group’s master plan took a three-pronged approach. First, the team recommended a menu of upgrades to the auditorium to increase accessibility and patron comfort while modernizing technology infrastructure. Second, through a proposed renovation to performer spaces and small loading dock addition the team positioned the venue to turn over between shows more nimbly and more comfortably accommodate touring performers. Third, DLR Group recommended a front-of-house renovation and addition programmed and designed with an eye towards improving the street-to-seat experience of patrons and providing additional revenue opportunities for the performing arts center with flexible outdoor space, subdividable lobby space, catering, and a new ballroom suitable for a wide variety of flat-floor performances and events. Scope Summary The existing CoMMA building is about 31,000 SF on a 3.5 acre site. This project outlined sequential renovations to all areas and two small additions totaling about 10,000 SF. Master planning for the auditorium included re-raking the orchestra level to introduce a new wheelchair accessible cross aisle and parterre with an array of loge boxes for more enticing seating options. The front of house improvements included a new 2000 SF ballroom, expanded concessions and catering space, expanded restrooms, and an enlarged and more open front entrance meant to highlight the arts activity happening inside the building. Recommendations included upgrades to finishes and furniture, accessibility improvements, lighting and building systems, performance systems, and site improvements. DLR Group provided community engagement, arts planning, architecture, interiors, MEP engineering, acoustical analysis and design, and performance technology planning. Not to Spec - From Christina Kruise (process-focused vision) The City of Morganton Municipal Auditorium, now called the CoMMA Performing Arts Center, was in a period of transition. In operation for nearly 37 years, the facility was in great condition; however, it had never been renovated or updated, the Morganton market had changed considerably, and the existing sound system was failing, impacting the audience experience. With new leadership at the helm, the City of Morganton set out to create a community-informed 10 to 15-year vision and master plan for the venue that would help the City both understand the immediate need for repairing the technical systems while also allowing it to situate that work within a holistic vision for a performing arts center that would capably serve the community for another 30 years. The scope of work for the project included extensive community engagement, a full building assessment (including a review of acoustics and theatrical systems), and recommendations for phased facility improvements and future expansion. Community engagement activities, which included a city-wide survey, small and large group meetings, open houses, and presentations to city leadership, indicated that the residents of Morganton and the region loved CoMMA but wanted to see it become a much more active venue, hosting events by community groups, arts education programs, and private functions as well as more touring entertainment. Residents also expressed a desire for CoMMA’s exterior to visibly express the arts, culture, and creativity that occurred inside the building. This feedback, combined with the findings of the building and theatrical assessments, resulted in a series of phased recommendations for CoMMA, including proposed expansions to both the loading dock and lobby spaces, upgraded lighting and finishes throughout, and strategic upgrades to seating and systems in the auditorium that will both enhance accessibility and improve the patron experience. Taken together, the recommendations will transform the building into a quintessential performing arts center that both better attracts and supports popular touring entertainment while also making available space and time for the community, the experimental, and the non-traditional.

Beaverton School District Raleigh Hills Elementary School is a replacement elementary serving 800 students, grades pre-K through 5th grade. With a commitment to both design excellence and value, decision-making has considered the impact on learning for all students in the community. Respecting the Past, Embracing the Future The design of the new school respects the past while embracing the future. The forms and materials are a “modern interpretation of a traditional form.” It is important that the new school fits in with the Raleigh Hills Community today but also feel current 100 years from now. Small School Feel The program is organized into three levels of three “pods” with thin, glazed connections providing every student with an easily identifiable ‘home base’. Public areas and special support spaces offset straddle the gaps between pods linking the school while creating a “small school feel”. The flex commons in every pod allow for small group instruction and provide a communal space that every grade level can personalize and own. A Space for Everyone The design of the new school allows for a variety of learning environments. Different opportunities exist for all sorts of educational activities, and groups of any size can easily find spaces that best suit their needs. Community spaces allow the school to be used safely for a variety of after-hours programs, and the design of the school keeps private classroom areas safe and secure during after-hours events. Students and the Community Social, emotional, and mental health are critical to learning and teaching. The design of the new Raleigh Hills Elementary will provide access to outdoor spaces, specialized learning environments to explore different activities, and natural daylight in all education spaces During discussions with Beaverton School District and DLR Group design team, two mechanical systems were selected for further investigation during schematic design and design development which will include lifecycle cost analysis. The mechanical system will be based on a 100% outside air system with energy recovery and displacement ventilation and hydronic heating and cooling including perimeter finned tube radiators.
Design Achievement: The renovation of the 3-story Bishop Payne Library at the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia transforms a previously expanded 1950’s library into a 21st century learning resource center designed to foster creative collaboration for seminary students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as local clergy and Christian educators. Key to the concept of DLR Group \| Bowie Gridley’s design is the creation of a 24-hour Library Commons which provides a variety of interactive social spaces on the main floor. To accomplish this, the design team improved connections between the reference room and stacks in relation to the circulation desk and staff offices and positioned the historic rare book collection to serve as a backdrop upon entering the library.

**NOTE: Client to be referred to as Confidential Fortune 500 Company Design Achievement: In the heart of Omaha’s business district sits the headquarters for a confidential Fortune 500 company—a modern, 19-story glass and steel structure that is home to over 3,000 employees with a host of centralized amenity spaces including a cafeteria and fitness center. As the organization recalibrates to a new hybrid work model and a corresponding reduction in space utilization, the executive leadership team is using this change as an opportunity to embrace a cultural shift. DLR Group’s occupancy study for the headquarters redefines and optimizes the workplace to function more efficiently, offer employees more choice, better integrate technology, and build in amenity spaces that promote socialization, relaxation, and fun. Through a streamlined process of engagement, a cross section of employees was surveyed through 25 visioning sessions to determine goals for an “ideal state” of work—revealing the importance of flexible work and decompression spaces within a welcoming, less formal environment. A corresponding restacking of departments and backfilling of vacant seats to optimize the existing real estate revealed several floors of unneeded space for potential sub-lease to third party tenants. Scope Summary: The scope of services for this project included an evaluation and initial space plans for 1.4 million SF of office space. Multiple scenarios were presented so that executives could select which option best suited the organization’s needs. Each scenario reduces individual workspace size, increases alternative work venues, and increases the amount of real estate dedicated to amenity spaces. New furniture standards were developed to align with the company’s vision for their future office, and upgraded technology throughout will allow for consistent and reliable hybrid meeting environments. The typical office floor was reimagined to be grounded by a hub of collaborative spaces, providing opportunity for wayfinding and access to daylight, while currently underutilized spaces at the basement and street levels will be activated to enhance the arrival experience and offer opportunities for community engagement. DLR Group provided strategic corporate real estate planning services.
NOT TO SPEC OSU Hughes Study (07.2022-08.2023) - Hughes Hall (60,613 SF) went offline after we relocated the music department upon completion of the OSU Arts District project. This feasibility study grew out of the Art + Design Study when a need arose for shared resources. The College of Arts and Sciences asked us to pursue Hughes as a separate study, primarily for maker spaces and shared classrooms as a proposal to the University for the College of Arts and Sciences to maintain at least partial use of the Hughes square footage. Highlights are the benchmarking and the prototyping footprints providing flexibility for future program changes/growth. We provided engineering narratives for this study and three cost options for varying degrees of intervention.

Design Achievement – JPI is the largest apartment builder in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, accounting for nearly 5% of the area’s market share and developing thousands of housing units every year. They recently added Eastchase, a 342-unit market-rate community in east Fort Worth, to their portfolio. DLR Group’s design marks our first multifamily development in the state of Texas and the first endeavor with JPI. This introductory experience provided extensive insights into the streamlined processes that JPI has refined through countless other successful developments, revealing efficiencies that DLR Group will carry over into future projects. The exterior façade features earth tones that complement existing neighboring developments, while alternating patterns of brick and siding provide visual interest. Each first floor unit includes an exterior entrance that faces the interior drive aisles, making the entire development extremely inviting. Pedestrian accessibility is paramount, with connective and well-lit walkways lined with native plants weaving throughout the property. Scope Summary – Eastchase is a 388,000 SF multifamily development with one-, two-, and three-bedroom units spread across four buildings. Some of the units also include a “bonus” room that can accommodate a home office in today’s increasingly remote world. One of the buildings also features ample amenities, including a 13,000 SF clubhouse, an outdoor pool area, and a dog park. A dramatic grade across the narrow site was incorporated into the design by working with the City of Fort Worth to approve an innovative design strategy that utilized terraced stoops for the first floor unit entrances, with each stoop spanning several units. This solution not only addressed the grading issue but provided a unique identity and protected spaces for first floor residents. Vertical space was maximized by designing each building to respond to the existing topography, fitting just within local height restrictions. Three of the buildings feature tuck under parking, with surface parking provided throughout the development for the remaining residents. A wetland and tree save area was maintained on the east edge of the property, providing woodland views to the adjacent units. DLR Group provided architecture, MEP engineering, planning, and entitlements.

Design Achievement  Cajun Field at the University of Louisiana has hosted events for over fifty years. However, as fan expectations for what a game day experience should be like have evolved, the stadium’s lack of modern amenities had become a detriment as UL attempted to provide its fanbase with an experience commensurate with the quality of its teams on the field. DLR Group’s design for the renovated west side of Cajun Field, in association with ACSW Architects,  positively impacts thousands of fans by providing a redesigned lower seating bowl with improved sightlines and legroom, ADA seating improvements, new and upgraded toilet and concession amenities, multiple suite options that vary in size and location, loge and ledge boxes in multiple locations, and a club seating deck with associated Club Lounge that will be capable of hosting multiple event types throughout the year. The renovated west side of Cajun Field provides the Ragin’ Cajun fanbase with multiple dynamic ways to cheer on its favorite team in an environment that will rival any stadium in the country.  Scope Summary  The scope of work for this project involved demolishing the west side of the existing lower seating bowl (capacity of approximately 8,000), existing upper seating bowl (capacity of approximately 8,400), and existing press/suite tower in order to make room for the addition of modern amenities. The new west lower seating bowl was reconfigured and designed with improved sightlines and legroom for approximately 5,600 patrons, while it also provided improved ADA seating locations and multiple loge boxes. At the back of the new lower seating bowl, on the new main concourse that ties into the rest of the existing concourse, 16 new suites are provided along with associated lounge areas. The rest of the updated main concourse provided vastly improved, in quantity and quality, restroom and concession facilities for any fans in the stadium. Above the new lower seating bowl and main concourse is a club seating deck that provides approximately 500 club seats, ADA locations, loge and ledge boxes that have direct access to a Club Lounge sized to comfortably host all patrons on that level. Above the club level is an additional level of 14 suites that have balconies overlooking the Club Lounge below. DLR Group provided architecture, interiors, planning, and graphic design services.

NARRATIVE NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED/APPROVED: DESIGN ACHEIVEMENT: As the University of North Carolina at Charlotte transitioned to a new athletic conference, they realized that they needed a more prominent place for their students to tailgate before football games; someplace that would become an integral and well-loved part of the game-day experience for their 30,000 students but also support other student-focused and student-led events, performances, and programming year-round.  DLR Group’s design took the UNCC campus’s palette of traditional materials – brick and white cast stone – but deployed them in a more contemporary way, to emphasize the unique student-focused nature of this place.  The compact events pavilion was designed to punch above its weight, flexibly transitioning between multiple programs with a minimum of university operations support. SCOPE SUMMARY: The project was designed in 2 phases:  Phase 1 was the park itself, including lawns and extensive electrical and data infrastructure to support student tailgating for up to 1500 students, all organized along a beautiful allée of oak trees that will be in full color during the fall football season. Phase 2 was the events pavilion, supporting the recreation program with generous public restrooms, supporting the tailgating program with campus security and first aid offices, and housing flexible spaces that can be used for either performer or catering support.  The covered platform was designed to function as both a flat-floor pavilion for table/chair events up to 150 and as a stage with integrated performance systems for live music and drama, directed to the park lawns with an audience of up to 600. This project was delivered in a design-build model with Barton Malow as the construction partner.  DLR Group provided architecture, interior design, audiovisual design and theater planning and performance systems design.

The U.S. State Department, Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations contracted with DLR Group and Caddell Construction in a Design-Build partnership to deliver a new embassy compound in Juba, South Sudan. DLR Group’s integrated design solution drew on our experts with specific knowledge in workplace, civic, and energy markets.  The 19-acre site near the center of Juba lacks critical infrastructure including electricity, water, and sewerage.  In response, solutions include a photovoltaic power system with battery storage to achieve net-zero energy.  The buildings are designed to carefully mitigate environmental liabilities and loads (high sun, high temperatures, and seasonally heavy rain) while ensuring that environmental assets (views to the mountainous outcroppings that stand over the expanding city and on-site rock and geologic formations) are preserved and enhanced.  Design features include new water wells with water treatment as well as a waste-water treatment plant that captures and treats wastewater to be reused for on-compound purposes. The site is divided into three primary zones: Diplomatic/Representational, Residential, and Service. These zones are enhanced through the existing stone outcroppings running in lateral bands.  With the addition of stormwater detention, seasonal wetlands are created and traversed by raised boardwalks. Multiple buildings located on this diplomatic compound include the 6-story 14,500 square meter new office building serving as the diplomatic platform and the front door of American diplomacy. This building also houses the consular section and American center which serves as the source of up-to-date information on all aspects of the United States, its people, and policies. The Ambassador’s Residence is in the residential zone along with a 5-story staff diplomatic apartment building. Other buildings include a recreation facility, marine security guard residence, support annex, warehouse, utility buildings, parking garage and access control facilities at three locations on the perimeter.  The New Embassy in Juba will set a new Department of State benchmark for resiliency and energy and water independence. The photovoltaic array will offset 50% of the compound power demands, reducing the reliance on the compound’s diesel-powered generator plan on the unreliable local power utility.  In many of the buildings, structured roof decks channel rainwater to collection cisterns.  Reclaimed water systems for both rain and storm water and treated wastewater are deployed on site and provide water that goes to both potable and non-potable uses.

NOT TO SPEC: In June 2022, the CWU student body voted on funding to build a Multicultural Center (MCC). The MCC will act as a hub for students, staff, and faculty to build community, celebrate and sustain diverse identities and cultures, and elevate the talents of historically marginalized individuals. Ultimately, the goal of creating a Multicultural Center is to advance the diversity of the campus and, most importantly, to create a sense of belonging for traditionally underrepresented students, staff, and faculty. DLR Group led the development of a state capital funding package and predesign, including life cycle cost analysis, test fits and sustainability charettes to meet the objectives determined by CWU’s student body. Our approach, process and outcomes of the study exceeded CWU’s expectations for the scope of services, and continues to support the project’s formation momentum carried forward by the campus community.
Design Achievement: Like many public entities, the City of Cleveland is experiencing changes in how employees use office space, and customers’ changing expectations for the delivery of government services. They are also heavily engaged in the war for talent and need to better align their physical environment with the quality expectations of future workers. With the City’s downtown Cleveland office campus spread over approximately 460,000 SF in four owned and leased properties, the City embarked on a study that would outline a strategy for the modernization, consolidation, and improvement of these primary customer service and work environments, with the goal of enhancing the workflow of the City’s downtown operations and improving citizen access to government services. DLR Group’s assessment sets forth a road map for future plans and projects that will move the City toward a more idealized physical organization. Through engagement of 35 departments housed in the affected properties, the study considered overall program needs, critical adjacencies, changing work modes, as well as departmental service and support functions such as meeting space, customer service facilities and amenities to reimagine space utilization across the downtown office portfolio. Scope Summary: The assessment comprises three phases. In Phase 1-Investigation, the team surveyed all department and divisions that are currently housed in the four designated properties to understand current and future space needs; toured all spaces to understand existing conditions; identified the relationship between the various departments and divisions; established a baseline/metrics for comparison (total SF, SF per person, # of offices, etc.); and developed existing stack plans. Phase 2-Synthesis took the information gathered in Phase 1 and created two scenarios illustrating a range of office density and utilization. Factors considered in the planning included dedicated suites vs. unsuited spaces for divisions, reduction in the number of private offices, an increase in meeting and amenity space, and flexibility to adapt to future change. Additionally, the study developed a kit-of-parts for space standards. Upon selection of a final scenario, a typical floor plan for each building will be developed. Detailed MEP and hazardous materials assessments will also be conducted during this phase. In Phase 3-Recommendations, the planning team will engage a cost estimator to develop a budget and phasing/implementation plan for the selected scenario and typical plans.  DLR Group provided planning, interiors and workplace strategy services.

Design Achievement Florida Polytechnic University, the only public polytechnic university of the State University System of Florida, embarked on the mission to enhance research and development with a new engineering facility for its students. This facility, aligned with FPU’s dedicated focus on STEM education, is envisioned to support the programs of their Applied Research Center to the north and align with the broader campus vision and educational objectives by complementing the design of the Innovation, Science, and Technology building. DLR Group and CPPI Construction’s design-build approach for the forthcoming Gary C. Wendt Engineering Building 1 is deeply rooted in the principles of place, innovation, and modularity for function and building efficiency.  The design creates an innovation hub for engineering students to research and experiment while also providing a much-needed courtyard and outdoor learning plaza, establishing a strong connection between this building and the emerging campus fabric. The design cleverly embraces the building's dual roles, serving as both a makerspace and a social hub for student interaction. It proudly showcases the act of “making,” putting students at the forefront within a central atrium that welcomes individuals from various disciplines.   The utilization of unprocessed materials like refined concrete and exposed structural elements throughout the building pays homage to the detailed and framework processes of the student creators. DLR Group's extensive research into higher education spaces, CPPI Construction’s pulse on materials & methods, coupled with the invaluable input from Florida Polytechnic's students and faculty through thoughtful design engagement will ultimately inform the final design of the structure.  Scope of Work   The fully realized Gary C. Wendt Engineering Building includes a 40,000 SF, two story facility. The first phase of design-build work includes the current design and shell construction of the entire facility with a focus of building out approximately 12,000 SF of usable first floor space with subsequent buildout phases to follow as funding allows. The design of the building features raw materials and exposed structural elements to express the architectural integrity of the facility and to provide spaces for student creativity and connection.   The Gary C. Wendt Engineering Building anticipates the development of four flexible working labs to accommodate the university’s civil and mechanical engineering lab programs. Additional program elements include core building support spaces for systems operations, an office suite accommodating six offices and a conference room, a front entry/student collaboration zone that welcomes students and visitors alike, and shelled areas for future office and lab expansions throughout the ground floor.  This project is being designed in design-build partnership with Charles Perry Partners, Inc (CPPI). DLR Group is providing architecture and interiors with partner consultants TLC Engineering for Architecture (MEP Engineering), BBM Structural (Structural Engineering), and VHB (Civil Engineering & Landscape Architecture).

Design Achievement – While the life science marketplace in Boulder is booming, medium-sized office and laboratory spaces for emerging science and technology-based research and development companies are in limited supply. Beacon Capital Partners is looking to lessen this need with the 11-building Pearl East Business Park that is located within easy access of both downtown Boulder and the University of Colorado Boulder’s east campus. DLR Group’s design for 4780 Pearl East is based on our extensive understanding of the typical life science clients in Boulder, providing laboratory spaces that can be easily and quickly modified to meet their needs along with updated modern office spaces. The campus’ central location combined with the mid-sized and flexible tenant spaces makes this building an attractive option for companies with exciting grant funding opportunities that will allow them to rapidly expand their teams and their work. Scope Summary – The scope of work for this project encompassed renovations to approximately 38,000 SF of office and laboratory space across three floors of 4780 Pearl East. In addition to refreshing the space, product selections and finishes were coordinated across the campus to provide a cohesive look and feel throughout the 11 buildings. Since the existing mechanical infrastructure was only intended to service office spaces, the system was upgraded to meet the extra requirements of the laboratory spaces. The design mitigated potential noxious fumes to move away from the building and dilute fast enough to not disturb neighboring residential areas. A unique aspect of this building was its location on a floodplain, which required the design to include passive and active flood prevention solutions at all exterior ground-level doors that met both FEMA and City of Boulder requirements. Extra steps were also taken throughout the design to adhere to the City of Boulder’s strict energy code. DLR Group provided architecture, engineering, laboratory planning, and interior design services.
Design Achievement – Faced with a building that that no longer supported the district’s educational program nor allowed for increased enrollment, the district wanted to create next-generation learning environments to support a wide range of student interests and educational needs. DLR Group’s design provides flexible, adaptable classrooms and labs to accommodate a variety of learning styles and collaboration opportunities. The design is driven by a consideration of the student experience, providing bright and cheerful spaces where students can explore, relate, and engage. In the academic wings, core classrooms with operable walls surround an open project lab creating break-out or small-group spaces. Classroom configurations allow for either departmental or interdisciplinary environments. A robust CTE program creates synergy between adjacent innovation lab spaces. The community supports student athletes and artists with amenities open to the public and zoned for student safety during the school day. Materials, such as limestone incorporated at each entry because every important building in town uses limestone, are selected to reinforce community values and reflect the project’s guiding principles: forward thinking, adequate and appropriate, shared sense of pride, student-focused.

DESIGN ARCHIEVEMENT - Shanghai First Maternity and Child Health Hospital project, the hospital aims to provide high-end customers with a better medical environment and professional diagnosis and treatment services, and jointly designed and established VVIP International Medical Department with DLR Group. The difficulty of the project lies in the fact that the newly created treatment room needs to meet the weekly rotation of at least 7 different departments in the initial stage of use and provide VVIP customers with a private and top-class all-in-one diagnosis and treatment experience while providing the equipment space required for medical staff diagnosis and treatment and meeting medical habits. The design concept starts from the "ONE" shape, which contains the beautiful meaning of "first", "beating notes", and "the circle of life is endless". The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the treatment space is the green glass logo of "One Woman and Baby", which symbolizes beautiful jade and pure nature. Follow the walkway full of sunlight all the way to the reception desk, there are one-on-one nurses to provide VVIP guidance throughout the process, and the blood drawing table is used as a self-help project before diagnosis and treatment, especially considered to be set opposite the reception desk, which can easily communicate with nurses. The consultation rooms enclosed on both sides and the best lighting area in the middle are all left for customers to wait. Clients can take a break with their families in a separate sofa area or communicate with nurses. SCOPE SUMMERY - The interior mainly uses warm wood finishes and white matt artificial stone to make the overall environment soft and glare-free, creating a safe and warm atmosphere for mothers and eliminating psychological tension. The bathroom is especially designed for mothers to consider the need for separate sinks and shelves when they need for testing, and single rooms are hygienic and private. The setting of the mother and baby room and the safety of the use of the equipment are the first considerations of the design. It is also set up in a more private circulation line for the toilet and sperm retrieval room that men need. The project visions "Circle of Life, Endless Life", creates a higher-end medical venue experience for VVIP services for public hospitals.
Design Achievement When Major League Baseball took ownership of Minor League Baseball, they introduced a new set of requirements for MiLB stadiums that prioritized player development. In response, the Hudson Valley Renegades, now owned by Diamond Baseball Holdings, partnered with DLR Group to create and execute a Master Plan for Dutchess Stadium (also known as Heritage Financial Park). DLR Group’s design balances the needs of fans and players alike; including a refresh of the existing Right Field Clubhouse, a new Left Field Clubhouse, fan areas including new restrooms and eating spaces, and areas for the implementation of player-centered technology. The Left Field Clubhouse will feature an outdoor picnic deck and indoor hospitality space that can be rented out year-round for weddings and other events. Along the third base line, the lower seating bowl extension will offer new seating choices for fans, including traditional seating, low counters for fans to eat and drink, and high counters for standing room opportunities. DLR Group is also integrating new technologies into the design that will give coaches more real-time data and analytics to improve player performance. The design was inspired by the beauty of the Hudson Valley and the culture of upstate New York, where craft beer, good food, and the outdoors are important elements of daily life.  Scope Summary The scope of work for this project encompassed renovations to the approximately 5,000 SF Right Field Clubhouse. The project also includes approximately 24,000 SF of new construction to build the Left Field Clubhouse, which will include team spaces, a hospitality club, and an outdoor picnic deck. The Left Field Clubhouse also contains a vertically folding glass wall between the indoor space and outdoor deck that will allow patrons to easily move between indoors and outdoors in nice weather.
