DESIGN ACHIEVEMENT: Nestled in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Clackamas County is home to nearly half a million people. The existing county courthouse built in 1936 served fewer than 50,000 residents and no longer meets the demands of this rapidly growing region. DLR Group’s design for the new Clackamas County Courthouse weaves together history, regionality, modern workplace, and civic life. The building’s placement, interior organization, and civic plaza all shape the way citizens seek services at the new courthouse by creating a strong connection to the county campus, adjacent services, and clear identification of the building’s presence on the site. The new six-story courthouse welcomes visitors and staff with clear wayfinding ensuring that a person attending court or seeking county services knows where to go. The two-story public lobby creates clear lines of sight to all public functions on each floor for a secure environment while being easily accessible to citizens. The central plaza outside is visible from all public circulation zones as a common reference point on each floor. Where many courthouses prioritize the public engagement spaces of the building, this design ensures that the people who work in the building every day equally benefit from the working environment. DLR Group planned spaces and selected materials for these spaces to reduce stress, improve staff connections with each other and partnered departments to streamline the judicial process. Within a courthouse, workplace environments extend to non-traditional spaces. Clerks, sheriff’s staff, attorneys, interpreters, and judges all have working areas and offices within the courtrooms themselves. Simple planes of wood imbue the spaces with dignity and calm, and every courtroom enjoys direct or borrowed daylight. SCOPE SUMMARY: The new six-story 240,000 SF courthouse includes 14 courtrooms with flex space to build out two additional courtrooms. A private circulation system throughout the building allows access to all courtrooms and support spaces without crossing public circulation zones. This feature improves space-sharing, long-term flexibility, and security. Through a public-private partnership (P3) procurement process, Clackamas County selected DLR Group, part of Clackamas Progress Partners, to design a new courthouse that will serve the county for the next 50 plus years and meet all the requirements of the Oregon Judicial Department. The new courthouse integrates seamlessly into the existing government campus while establishing it as the new focal point for the campus. DLR Group provided planning, design, engineering, and interiors.
Design Achievement:  Lux Living's latest project, the 27-story high rise at 14th and Wyandotte, is set to become a true love letter to the Kansas City skyline. The vacant site is being transformed into a landmark development that aims to attract the next generation of users to the downtown core. Bringing life to the street frontage with a primarily transparent façade on the ground floor will activate this dark corner of downtown. The building program on the ground floor supports this with separate residential and hotel lobbies, potential tenant spaces, and the hotel restaurant. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Power and Light Building, DLR Group's design for 14th and Wyandotte is a complementary structure that respects the art deco style of the neighboring building. The tower’s base incorporates design elements from the Power and Light Building, with punched openings that pay homage to the past and limestone-colored fiber cement panels to relate to the tone and scale of the historic structure. A deep reveal covered in bronze-colored metal panels provide a shadow separation between the two buildings. As the eye moves up the facade, a mostly glass tower steps back from the existing structure to separate the two buildings. Horizontal metal panels to delineate the floors pull regulating lines from the adjacent structure to play off the historical "wedding cake" effect when the two buildings are viewed side by side. Vertical mullion extensions emphasize the verticality with playfully shifted patterns, adding contrast to the formality of the podium base of the building. The result is a building that harmoniously blends the past with the present while offering a glimpse into the future of architecture.  Scope Summary:  In addition to its striking design, 14th and Wyandotte offers a luxurious living experience and a branded boutique lifestyle hotel within a combined 660,000 SF tower. The project will offer 300 units of Lux Living's hallmark tech-savvy living environments and 200 luxury hotel keys – all designed to attract young professionals and renters to the Downtown Kansas City area. Approximately 360 parking spaces are provided above the lobby level for residents and valet parking for the hotel. The hotel will feature a signature three-meal restaurant on the ground level, 10,000 SF of meeting space, and a rooftop bar and lounge on the penthouse level. The two programs share luxury amenities, such as a well-appointed club room, residents lounge, coworking space, an outdoor pool terrace with cabanas and beverage service, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and activated terraces that animate the program and offer best-in-class amenities to all who visit the property. With its stunning design, luxurious amenities, and commitment to community, 14th and Wyandotte is a testament to Lux Living's vision and dedication to excellence.

23-23112-00 Arts United Center Renovation and Addition ITDG Services Arts United of Greater Fort Wayne modernizes the Arts United Center to better serve the organizations, both professional and community based, that serve the region. The focal point of the project is the 675-seat theater designed by Louis Kahn, a preeminent 20th century American architect known for combining Modernism with the weight and dignity of ancient monuments. Arts United looks to DLR Group’s theatrical specialty services team, in partnership with MKM Architects of Fort Wayne, to transform this 1973 iconic structure into a 21st century, world-class performance space. The renovation provides enhancements to bring the theater in line with contemporary expectations for patron experience, accessibility, theatrical production, and energy efficiency while sensitively preserving the key characteristics of Kahn’s original design. Design consideration is given to the multiple arts organizations that take advantage of this facility including: The Fort Wayne Civic Theatre, Fort Wayne Youtheatre, Fort Wayne Ballet, Fort Wayne Dance Collective, Fort Wayne Philharmonic, Fort Wayne Children’s Choir, Heartland Sings, and more. The renovation focuses on two priorities. First, is the renovation/expansion of the Arts United Center itself and immediately surrounding property. Second, is the connection and integration to surrounding civic spaces and neighborhood. Of primary concern is the renovation and expansion of the theater itself focusing on: circulation, patron amenities, versatility of audience and stage configurations, sound and lighting requirements for various performance types, ADA accessibility and other code requirements, and upgraded MEP systems. A key challenge is inserting necessary modifications into the cast concrete shell of the historic building without negatively affecting the original design. The building’s architectural importance makes it a strong candidate for a listing on the National Register of Historic Places and for the use of tax incentives to fund the renovation. The addition is a three story (basement + 2 above grade) addition housing a new costume shop and scene shop, along with office space.  Additionally, there is a West side lobby addition that will connect the front of house to back of house and serve as the reception area for the rehearsal studios on the second floor and for actors after a show.  We are expanding the stage right with a bustle to add wing space.  We are reactivating the stage traps in the floor, adding a new interstitial mezzanine under the stage and creating a new scoop under the stage for orchestra along with retrofitting the pit lift.    The current scene shop is being repurposed to a community maker space.  The existing rehearsal spaces will be outfitted with performance equipment to accommodate light performances in addition to expanding functionality.  Lastly a new loading dock is being added that extend the current loading area to better accommodate functionality.  Completed Date:  Anticipated Dec 2025 Size: 72,500 sq ft (54,500 sq ft  renovation, 18k sq ft new construction) Construction Cost: $35M Construction $42M Project DLR Group Services: Theater Planning, Theater Technology, Acoustics, Architectural Lighting, Audiovisual, Security, IT

Design Achievement – Government Hill is a historically relevant neighborhood of San Antonio, Texas, with the allure of a perfect location that represents innovation and energy due to its proximity to the Pearl. While Government Hill’s history goes back as far as 1890, the area is currently being revitalized due to a boom in tech. DLR Group’s design for this new hotel is contextually sensitive, seamlessly blending in with the abutting 19th century architecture. It embodies the spirit of the Pearl District while paying homage to the Battle of Flowers Parade that honors the valiant heroes of the Alamo. Inspired by the floats adorned with handpicked blooms that parade through the streets, accents of blue, sage, and terracotta are blended with natural materials and industrial style elements reflective of the Pearl District to create a comfortable residential setting. Locally sourced stone and detailed tilework echo the charm of the Mexican influence found throughout San Antonio. Wrought iron details add craftsmanship and sophistication, balanced with soft textiles and mixed textures to create a contemporary atmosphere. Scope Summary – The scope of work for this project includes 120,000 SF of new hotel space that is part of the 15-acre Broadway East mixed-use district. To accommodate 175 rooms within the limited footprint, DLR Group designed a courtyard plan that allows natural light into the units while also achieving the desired density. The courtyard is the statement piece of the design, immediately visible from the entrance of the hotel. The pool and barbeque areas that are staples of Residence Inns are incorporated into the courtyard, making them the focal point of this common area. A small water feature outside takes advantage of southern Texas’ mild climate. Both local design standards and Marriott design standards were taken into consideration as part of the design process.

Design Achievement The North Wilkesboro Speedway opened for its first race in 1947. In the years that followed, the track saw the beginnings of NASCAR and stock car racing as a sport before holding its last premier series race in 1996. A number of prominent racecar drivers have led a surge of interest in preserving racing history. In response, Wilkes County, the State of North Carolina and Speedway Motorsports Inc. partnered to resurrect the Speedway at North Wilkesboro. DLR Group’s design restores the historical buildings to their former glory while also making necessary improvements to accommodate a new generation of fans.

These walkways, adorned with curated landscaping, introduce much-needed shade and lush green spaces that double as a barrier to ensure the safety of foot traffic. To anchor one side of the space, a bold red tower stands atop the Target store, serving as a beacon drawing shoppers through the corridor. This outdoor environment acts as an additional buffer between vehicles and pedestrians, creating an inviting space for relaxation and respite. Here, shoppers can unwind and savor a meal, all while indulging in the simple pleasure of people-watching. Scope Summary – The scope of the project includes the demolition of a portion of the mall, creating two new mall entries. In addition, the new throughfare will provide space for new dining options and outdoor seating areas. DLR Group provided architecture and planning services.
Design Achievement – The Gunter Hotel, first opened in 1909, was considered one of the most luxurious hotels in Texas and played host to a myriad of talented creatives. One of these guests, legendary blues musician Robert Johnson, transformed the hotel into a recording studio where he went on to write and record some of his most famous songs. The Gunter Hotel’s history as a haven for creatives is being brought back to life through a new design approach. The present-day hotel offers curious guests an inspirational journey to create their own San Antonio story. DLR Group’s design hones in on the unique story that the Gunter Hotel has to tell. The design uses the classical Beaux-Art styled character juxtaposed with avant-garde elements to create a sense of imagination. Elements of the unexpected can be seen through the layering of peculiar artwork, obscure furniture, bold dramatic patterns, and pops of vibrant colors. Visitors, creators themselves, are drawn to the space through a curated experience that includes dramatic lighting and color, texture that needs to be touched, and elements of the unknown (such as hidden doorways and materials that play with obscurity). Elements throughout the design take on an abstract form of creative instruments through brass accents, curved forms, playful fixtures, wood textures, and intricate details. Scope Summary – The scope of work for this project includes renovations to public spaces, 313 guest rooms, and corridors. While the architectural elements of the guest rooms celebrate history, modern furniture will be layered into the spaces to create beautiful tension between historic structure and modern comfort. Dreamy, drapery-trimmed window seats within the guest rooms will entice guests to curl up in the sunny alcove and view San Antonio from a newly discovered perspective. Guest room finishes will evoke a topography of touch, creating memorable and unusual tactile sensations within everyday materials: dimpled glass, knurled metal, and dimensional textiles. Physically soft materials will dampen the acoustic experience of each room and lighting will be tunable to allow creatives to set their ideal scene for inspiration to strike. Surrounded by inspiration found in small details and curated amenities, the Gunter will leave guests with a feeling of intrigue. DLR Group provided interior design services.

Design Achievement: DLR Group is one of five national finalists to create a design concept for a new museum focused on the history and traditions of the U.S. Navy. Our design concept draws inspiration from the Navy's activities in the seas, skies, and space. The building’s form emerges from a series of water features at the museum’s foundation, entry, and ceremonial courtyard. Assuming the site will include a major urban street, an iconic exhibit volume elevated above the ground creates the public impression of the museum. Its faceted surfaces reflect the sky, the water, and the surrounding neighborhood. Raised terraces on multiple levels -- all enhanced by landscape, seating, and artifacts -- provide flexible use for events. Major artifacts -- including the U.S.S. Constitution’s Fighting Top and a McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet -- distributed throughout the complex provide moments of respite and reflection, while acting as transitions between exhibit galleries. Immersive media and integrated technology incorporated throughout the museum enable visitors to engage with the U.S. Navy's history, stories, and pivotal moments. Scope Summary: The project envisions a 270,000 SF campus, including approximately 100,000 SF dedicated to gallery space. The building is comprised of three parts—a prominent exhibit volume, an historic structure, and an ancillary wing. A ceremonial “honor’ courtyard comprises the museum’s base. This exterior space interweaves with the exhibit volume via terraces on multiple levels. Visitors access the single main entrance via a ramp within the water feature, granting them a glimpse of the atrium within the building. Visitors will then ascend via an interpretive platform lift to the museum’s highest level and follow ramped walkways to exhibit galleries. Exhibits showcasing the Navy's present and future are presented to the north of the atrium volume, while the history and accomplishments of the Navy are showcased to the south. DLR Group developed the architectural concept for the new museum along with exhibit design assistance from Gallagher & Associates.

DLR Group, leveraging its extensive experience in K-12 education and Career and Technical Education (CTE), collaborated with Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) on the “Re-envisioning CTE Master Plan.” This visionary plan aims to empower BVSD schools to capitalize on student and industry needs, building a robust talent pipeline for the future. Through comprehensive workshops engaging students, teachers, administrators, community members, and industry partners, the master plan establishes a robust framework for the district’s CTE approach over the next decade and beyond. This framework enhances existing pathways and certifications offered at each high school, paving the way for further development in collaboration with industry partners. This partnership empowers each school to cultivate its unique offerings while simultaneously fostering a centralized approach to industry engagement, ultimately creating a seamless talent pipeline for all students, regardless of their future pathway – college, career, or a blend of both. The plan also addresses middle school development by equipping students with a broad understanding of Boulder Valley industries. The team identified 12 innovation clusters that can be seamlessly integrated into the core curriculum, one per semester. This initiative builds upon the 2022 Strategic Planning efforts and strikes a balance between a centralized overview and deeper dives into existing programs at each middle school. Finally, the plan recognizes Boulder TEC, BVSD’s dedicated career and technical education center for 11th and 12th graders. This center provides opportunities to earn college credits and valuable career certifications while maintaining enrollment at their home high schools. The master plan seeks to further diversify and develop Boulder TEC’s programs, strengthening industry connections and expanding opportunities for all students. In essence, the “Re-envisioning CTE Master Plan” represents a collaborative effort to revitalize and modernize BVSD’s CTE offerings, ensuring all students are equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the diverse landscape of the future.

DESIGN ACHIEVEMENT Yongkang, a city nestled in a picturesque mountainous region, is renowned for its hardware manufacturing industry. DLR Group's design for a new municipal culture center seamlessly integrates the city's past, present, and future, centered around the theme of "metal." The design concept envisions the center's diverse programs—ranging from a theater, museum, and art hub to sports, fashion, and business centers—as distinct "ore" buildings. A multi-level pathway system, inspired by smelting and fluid gold, unifies the site and links the different "ores." Expansive plazas, themed sports areas, and interactive parks are thoughtfully dispersed within this interconnected network. The absence of towering structures on the site emphasizes an accessible public rooftop, intricately shaped to mirror the contours of the surrounding mountains and reinforce the purpose of each building. At the heart of the culture center, a captivating central waterfall serves as a focal point, prompting visitors to explore and congregate. It encourages contemplation of the city's history and future while gracefully flowing through the site and reconnecting with the local water system. Merging culture, commerce, and urban life, the Yongkang municipal culture center is set to assume the dual role of a new city landmark and an integral part of the daily lives of residents. SCOPE SUMMARY The Yongkang Cultural Center spans a 21.6-hectare site and encompasses the Culture and Arts Center (79,000 sm), City Exhibition Center (51,000 sm), Future Center (26,000 sm), Fashion Sports Center (24,900 sm), and Business Center (40,000 sm). The Yongkang Theatre, with its 1,500-seat performance hall and versatile 500-seat multi-functional hall, stands as an architectural highlight surrounded by a Reading Hall and Metal Art Museum. A striking waterfall adorns the theater’s rooftop, adding a dynamic visual element while connecting the theater to the mass art hub. Guided by principles of efficient connectivity, accessibility, inclusivity, intensive space utilization, and a harmonious blend of activities, the design features multi-layered pathways that facilitate easy navigation and seamless connections. A mass art hub serves as a vibrant center for public art exhibitions and commercial activities, effectively linking programs and activities both indoors and outdoors. Careful consideration was given to optimize vehicular flows while minimizing disruption to pedestrians. Strategically placed entrances at various levels ensure smooth traffic movement and an underground parking facility, with 2,600 parking spaces and multiple entrances, provides convenient access. DLR Group provided architecture, interiors, and landscape architecture conceptual design services.

NOT TO SPEC:  The Bill Cosford Cinema at the University of Miami has historic significance to both the University and surrounding local community. Located in one of the very first buildings constructed for the 1947 campus, the Cosford Cinema has been delivering cinematic beauty to its patrons since the 1950’s. With developments in the content, context, and technology of the film industry, UM approached DLR Group to help create a vision for a modernized cinema facility that also preserves the historic and cultural significance of the space. With the addition of a pre-function and study space, the Cinema can serve both students and local patrons who want to learn and pursue their love of cinema. Interior finish, MEP, technology, and acoustic upgrades will give the space an upgraded feel and improve upon the theatrical experience. Exterior interactive screens at the cinema entrance will engage the adjacent outdoor patio and entice passersby to take part in cinema activities. New exterior signage and projections will give the Bill Cosford Cinema the presence on campus that it deserves.
11/10/2023 DLR Group does not have permission to use any renderings or exhibits (even in proposals and interview presentations) yet. Design Achievement – As the third phase in their master plan, the Hall of Fame Village aims to curate a space through which each individual piece can shine, and community will come together. DLR Group’s design for the Village brings a true heart to this plan, rich with opportunities for fun and relaxation. As part of a longtime relationship with the Hall of Fame Village, this master plan utilizes DLR Group’s unique expertise on mixed-use projects, integrating various lifestyle elements to create an authentic identity for this expansive outdoor space. This design merges lively activity centers with cozy residential areas to define the Village as a hub for community, effectively activating the lush park and enhancing the surrounding neighborhood. This destination features an assortment of lively options, including ample retail and dining, alongside recreation and entertainment opportunities to accommodate for a diversity of experiences for visitors from all walks of life. The Village provides a synergistic force to tie the master plan together as a single, vibrant, cultural hub. Scope Summary – DLR Group’s master plan for the Hall of Fame Village presents a roadmap to make the site into a destination. Providing solutions for traffic congestion and complex parking, the design minimizes the vehicular impact on the neighborhood while adding substantially to the surrounding economic ecosystem. Along with residential and park spaces, the Village will become a lifestyle hub, including event spaces, sport and recreation areas, retail storefronts, as well as food and beverage options. Though ample in size, the myriad of activity and relaxation options reduces the perceived walking distances and increases the potential for adventure. With guest experience at the forefront, this design mitigates an otherwise steep site to create an accessible village that encourages pedestrian mobility and dwell time. This centralized mixed-use space provides a through-line to enhance the surrounding community, increase circulation, and bring an overall unity to the master plan. DLR Group provided planning and architecture services.

Design Achievement The Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway is an iconic part of Nashville and NASCAR history. Long before auto racing, the track was used for horse racing, wrestling matches, concerts and State Fair events. The 596-mile track is the second oldest continually operating track in the country, which hosted NASCAR Grand National/Winston Cup series races from 1958 to 1984 and is currently used for local, regional and ASA Stars race events. The Nashville Fairgrounds, Metropolitan Council and Bristol Motor Speedway have partnered to rebuild the racetrack for high level NASCAR-sanctioned racing as well as concerts and other large scale community events. The goal of the project is to honor the history of the facility while providing the amenities that fans expect at modern sporting events. The speedway is part of a larger redevelopment project that includes an MLS Soccer Stadium, mixed use retail and housing, parking garages, green spaces, parkland and the Fairgrounds Expo Center. The overall development is driving investment in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood.     Scope of Work   The project retains the racing surface and racetrack geometry and provides all new grandstands for 30,000 fans. A new building in turn 4 includes indoor suites, a premium club, rooftop race viewing deck along with operational spaces for the media and track management staff. The turn 4 building also provides tenant space for a restaurant that faces the adjacent mixed-use development.  The design of the facility includes a canopy that mimics the original grandstand shade canopy. Outside the Speedway a new public street, “Speedway Alley” ties the facility to the adjacent mixed-use development. Speedway Alley is designed as a street to support the Fairgrounds development but at race time can be closed to create a public plaza festival area for fans to enjoy.  To address the concerns of the adjacent neighborhoods, a 20’ tall sound wall encircles the track to mitigate the noise of the races. The infield of the track is being redesigned to accommodate all paddock functions for racing but also as a flexible community use space for festivals, concerts and for parking for the larger development. A new pedestrian tunnel under the track will provide a connection between the infield and the Fairgrounds Expo Center. DLR Group provided architecture, engineering and interior design services
