A NEW ENVIRONMENT.

ACi was formed to provide a team culture offering purpose-driven economic development for major property development owners. Formed from diverse global development and architectural experiences of Larry Adams, Jr. and John Cunningham, our mission is to help customers forecast the future using unique processes, which provide clear and value-driven principles to steer a strategic path to the opportunity ahead.

REALIZING YOUR VISION.

Strategic planning support provided by ACi strengthens and maximizes the financial investment of destination developments: integrated environments that deliver a total experience. A destination can be cities, urban districts, sporting venues, transit oriented developments, educational campus, technology corridors and healthcare centers. As destinations, planned communities of tomorrow take elements from all of the above, including downtown cities, urban centers, medical, science and technology villages. Businesses and Communities that operate destinations serve as hosts. Their customers are guests. The over arching measurement of customer satisfaction is the guest experience. In other words, a destination is a business venture in which the place is the product. The full development of a destination deals with more than planning and building it. It encompasses the full range of financial feasibility, product development, experience scripting, programming, design, engineering, operations and overall project delivery and start-up strategies. ACi understands this. Completely. We provide a clear process to help you follow the strategic path to your opportunity within the realities of your financial and time related constraints.

IDEA-BASED RESOURCES.

ACi distinguishes itself from traditional service firms in that we serve as true consultants. We tailor our resources based on our customer’s requirements and extend their organizations’ capability, rather than ask the customer to adapt to the outside expert. We rely on networks of resources consisting of seasoned professionals who know and have worked with the best in the world in a variety of disciplines. The best for your project means just that: knowledge, skills, experience and attitudes complementary to yours. In an ideas-based service, the ability to relate and communicate with the customer is as critical as the quality of the thinking behind those ideas. ACi resources go beyond planning and designing an environment, because they start with realistic approaches to help you quantify the opportunity: trade area analysis, master planning, design standards, accurate project construction costs, and craft building delivery plans based realistically on the opportunity itself rather than adapted from someone else’s model. We help you dig to uncover the hidden barriers to success. Working with you, together we learn the true topography of your opportunity. Together, we then build the strategies to realize your vision efficiently and profitably, leveraging advantages while reducing barriers.

Stetson University Spec Martin Stadium Stetson University | DeLand, Florida

Cost: $2.5 Million | Year Completed: 2013

The City of DeLand Florida’s Spec Martin Stadium has been the historic home of DeLand High School Football for decades. Situated several blocks southeast of the Historic City’s downtown, as part of a 6 city block recreational neighborhood, that includes a baseball stadium, ball-fields, tennis courts, walking trails and a senior citizens center, the City owned stadium facilities, last improved in 2002, were in need of major upgrades in order to accommodate Stetson University’s newly constituted collegiate football program. While the bleachers and fan accommodations were sufficient to meet both the current and expected demand, the team locker room facilities, press box and site improvements would not meet the needs of a NCAA program. ACi was engaged as part of a Design-Build team with the Collage Companies to transform the existing locker rooms and design new press box facilities. Faced with a tight budget and time frame for completion, the overall solution consisted of constructing a new 3 story press box with a roof top camera deck at the location of the former press box and the renovations and addition to the existing locker rooms. The locker rooms provided accommodations for 125 home players, 75 visitors, designated locker areas for home and visitor coaches, officials and a media conference room. The state-of-the-art press box provides 3 indoor VIP suites, accommodations for the press and media, as well as, suites for home and visitor coaching staff. The project came in on budget and within the 10 month total schedule for design and construction. The project was named the “OUTSTANDING PUBLIC/PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP PROJECT” for 2013 by the Florida Planning and Zoning Association.

Stetson University Conrad HallStetson University | DeLand, Florida

Cost: $425 Thousand | Year Completed: 2012

Stetson University’s Conrad Hall, a 50-year-old building, was renovated to meet modern codes and ADA requirements. Unforeseen and undocumented conditions complicated the building’s restroom renovation; however, creative solutions and complete commitment of team resources created problem solving solutions allowing the project completion to be on time.

The project scope included demolition and replacement of all interior finishes, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation to provide new bathrooms, as well as exterior modifications to meet ADA requirements.

During our review of the existing building, and by reviewing old plans form the early 1900’s, our team realized this project had the potential of adding revenue producing dorm rooms in spaces that were under utilized in it’s current configuration. As a result, our team responded to the RFP by including the full renovation of all the community bathrooms along with adding four additional dorm rooms (eight revenue producing beds) as part of our proposal. All of this was accomplished while meeting the overall program budget and completing the work on time for student occupancy.

Stetson UniversitySage Hall Laboratory | DeLand, Florida

Cost: $1 Million | Year Completed: 2011

The project consists of repair and renovations of 5 classrooms in the Sage Hall Science building. The 5 classrooms were part of the original building, which was constructed in 1967 and is approximately 66,000 GSF. A new addition was added to the west end of Sage Hall in 2007. The addition separated from the existing building with a firewall.

The newly renovated classrooms did not add any additional occupant load to the building and did not affect the construction type of the building. The construction type is a Type II-B.

The original building consists of concrete floors, concrete black partition walls at the corridors and steel frame. The exiting takes place at the 4 corners of the building via stairs. The 13,000 SF additions is a Class B occupancy with a II-B Construction type with sprinklers.

Cost: $10 Million + | Year Completed: 2002 - Current

ACi has worked successfully on the Rollins Campus for more than 10 years performing tasks as simple as picking a paint color or a light fixture, to highly specialized large scale complex renovations/additions to new buildings. We fully understand the campus vision, facility standards (in some cases created them), the level of fit and finish, level of durability and maintainability required to properly meet the Owner’s valid requirements.

Keene Music HallRollins College | Winter Park, FloridaCost: $2.6 Million | Year Completed: 2003

The purpose was to house the music school administration and classrooms, to renovate the existing facility, to expand by 7,000 GSF, and to provide an acoustical multi-purpose room, practice rooms and a state-of-the-art recital hall. One of the greatest challenges to this two-story project was the finite funding for construction. Therefore, it was decided that the exterior would have an understated yet elegant expression to delicately utilize the color, texture and massing of the campus architectural vocabulary. The interior was developed using a design theory of “the color of music”. ACi chose color palettes for the various building functions which created unique environments within the facility. We organized the functional requirements around acoustical state-of the-art requirements. These are seen in the recital hall’s band shell forms and the dramatic cascading, syncopating rhythm of the walls with colors that provide a harmonic visual cadence expressing “the color of music.”

CORNELL FINE ARTS MUSEUM ROLLINS COLLEGE

Page 19: ACi Education Architecture Brochure

Cornell Fine Arts MuseumRollins College | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: $2.75 Million | Year Completed: 2003

The project requirements were to house and exhibit Rollins’ art collection, and to provide a place to teach, research and expand Rollins’ outreach to the surrounding community. It was important to provide a facility that was expandable, flexible and architecturally sensitive to Rollins picturesque campus architecture. With the exception of the building entry and lobby, one of the greatest design challenges was to design a windowless building with 360 degree views that were architecturally pleasing and significant. This was done by carefully crafting the building mass and using stylistic elements such as buttresses, a water table base, slate and travertine infill to this textured stucco building. Inside, there is a state-of-the-art lighting and air conditioning system to protect the environment for the preservation of art.

President’s ResidenceRollins College | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: $19 Million | Year Completed: 2004

The residence was designed to house the President of Rollins College and his or her family on campus. It was important to provide a home with dignity, yet one that has an understated elegance and visually belonged on the college campus since the school’s opening in 1885. The design was inspired by the idea that the home began as a simple one-story cottage, and over time, there were multiple additions which allowed for very little symmetry in its mass and composition. It is through this thinking of informality—a playful approach to form and function—that the understated elegance was realized. Through the use of appropriate elements of style, historically correct detailing and rich materials, the design realizes the home’s dignity for a Rollins College President.

Welbourne Graduate Housing Rollins College | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: $1 Million | Year Completed: 2007

The project was an adaptive re-use of residential apartments into modern progressive loft apartments. The objective was to create a modern progressive environment for graduate students attending Rollins.

As a stark contrast to the traditional Mediterranean Design found on Rollins campus, ACi created this clean, modern expression with New York-type loft interior designs with stained concrete floors, exposed block walls and concrete ceiling. The exterior is of a Bauhaus Modern design and is in keeping with the mandate of modernism: the expression of the forms and materials is honestly expressed and devoid of trivial ornamentation. Additionally, the U-shaped building allowed ACi to create a study/social courtyard with a specimen Live Oak as canopy or umbrella for this new “outdoor room.”

Lawrence Center - Facility / Student Residence StudyRollins College | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: $10 Million | Year Completed: 2004

The planning study was initiated by the college to determine if The Lawrence Center property would yield a density that would both elevate the deficiency in faculty and student housing and meet allowable zoning dimensions.

Rollins Lacrosse Field - StudyRollins College | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: $7.5 Million | Year Completed: 2009

Facilities Concept Study for a new Rollins Lacrosse Athletic Facility was the result of a collaborative effort led by the College’s Administration, Real Estate Advisor, Rollins Athletic Department, the Tars Lacrosse Men and Women’s Coaches and ACi. The effort was conducted over a four week period employing strong core stakeholder participation, site visits, and four valued creative workshops at ACi’s Winter Park Studios. The purpose of the study was to define initial guiding principles and key assumptions so Rollins could make informed decisions regarding the colleges’ continuing transformation of its athletic programs and master plan.

Services included visioning, comparable college Lacrosse program analysis, master site planning, facilities programming, architecture, preliminary cost estimates and a facilities implementation schedule for review and presentation to the Board of Trustees. Facility program elements included spectator arrival/departure entry experiences, parking, field/stadium gateways, food/beverage concessions, playing and practice fields, practice walls, ticketing/admissions, press room, athlete hall of fame, coaches offices, training, conference rooms, home/visitor locker rooms, restrooms, equipment storage, initial bleacher seating with expansion capabilities, sound/public address systems, field lighting, scoreboard, Lacrosse NCAA standards for fields/layouts, on-field goals/nets/team bench seating and fencing.

One of the most interesting and differentiating features of the design is how it creates a smaller unique “athletic facility experience”. In order to recruit the best student-athletes in the country and “grow the alumni experience” through athletics, ACi’s design focused on the quality of experience vs. size of the athletic facilities. This included the pageantry, tradition and use of multiple “venue elements” including the arrival/departure experience, i.e., tailgating, field alumni recognition events, and architectural style. This approach helped the college symbolize the “ivy league” quality of academics and athletics found at Rollins and at other smaller private institutions. Additionally, there are multiple venue building elements for students, alumni and friends of the college to provide financial support including brick plazas, arrival/departure entrances, field admission gates, scoreboards, building name, fields, bleachers, and future connecting buildings, fields and facilities.

Annie Russell Theatre Historic Renovations Rollins College | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: $500 Thousand | Year Completed: 2006

For over 75-years, The Annie Russell Theatre is the crown jewel of the Rollins College Theatre program and is Florida’s oldest and longest running theatre. ACi was contracted by the college to renovate this national registered historic building and bring the structure up to modern compliance codes. Tasked with completing the renovations before the theatre’s opening season, our team used strategic problem solving techniques to not only complete the project on-time, but go above and beyond the college’s expectations.

Audio Mixing LabFull Sail University | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: Confidential | Year Completed: 2009

The Audio Mixing Lab and Classroom was a new 1000 SF classroom dedicated to the instruction of the art of digital sound mixing. Located in Full Sail Live, a venue for the live performances of music, the students would get real world education by recording live artists then retreating to a laboratory setting with full sound mixing equipment to learn how to digitally control and enhance the recordings for the final cut.

This Classroom was equipped with 12 full level professional mixing boards and room for the instructor with internet access, projection and sound. A high level of acoustical separation was required for this room due to the adjacency to the live venue and the need for the room to be very quiet for the mixing of sound. Adjacent to this lab, ACi further designed a Lab where students are instructed on how to break down the recording and mixing devices and repair the electronic boards. This room required special exhaust systems for the use of soldering.

Film Make Up LabFull Sail University | Winter Park, Florida

Cost: Confidential | Year Completed: 2010

Make-Up Lab where 40 students would be instructed on the art of movie “make-up” and special effects. The design of this room incorporated 40 stations equipped with digital interaction, large mirrors and specialty lighting. Care was required for the mechanical equipment due to the noxious fumes of the movie makeup and special isolated sinks for the disposal and cleanup. One of the unique features of the this room was the incorporation of two way mirrors at the first 10 stations so students and prospective students could walk down the entry outside and witness a student in real time applying the make up to transform someone into a movie character. This has proven to be a very unique and successful sales tool for the University.
