Budget in 2001 Budget in 2015 Assuming 4%Inflation

Final Buget Assuming12% forOverhead and Profit

•Budget is reduced for 4% inflation over the next 14 years.

(2015 Budget = 2001 Budget x0.9614)

•The money available for the building is further reduced by overhead and profit.

Shear Wall core Propose braced frame core

Add basement for gymnasium

• Eccentrically Braced Frame– Efficient, ductile

system– Eliminates need to

coordinate concrete and steel workers

• Shear Wall– Ductile in combination

with frame system– Traditional, widely

used– Less expensive in

• Gravity System– Flat Slab System

• Minimum allowable depth:7 in. (probably greater)

– Post-tensioned slab• Approximate depth:

8 in.– Waffle slab over Auditorium

• Approximate total depth:24.5 in. (4.5 in. top slab)

• 30” x 30” voids, 6”ribs @ 36”

• Lateral Load Systems– Concrete Cast in Place SMRF– Precast Concrete SMRF– Shear Wall for redundancy

Typical Member Sizes:

Ext. Beam: 18x24 in.

Ext. Column: 18x18 in.

Int. Column: 12x12 in.

post-tensioning

• Exterior Cladding– Finished concrete (CIP or Precast)

• Saves material cost• Concrete must be designed for thermal effects

– Precast stone cladding• Adds cost for material and installation• Lightweight materials• Lower life-cycle costs (i.e. insulation)

Lessons Learned/Future Improvements

AEC

Lessons: Improvements:•Clarified discipline goals and roles in design, how disciplines respond to information

•Skill recognition

•Clear, straightforward, proactive synchronous and asynchronous communication

•Organizing information for documentation (i.e., web site)

•Working with technology

•More thorough use of communication resources (i.e, Recall)

•More efficient presentation of ideas

•Better online documentation of information and process

Final choice - challenges

AECAEC

architecture:

some interesting questions still open

- facades ?

- roof garden ?

- spiral stairs

engineer:

Concrete system

Atrium skylight

MEP space

construction manager:

Reduce budget through continued value engineering

Integration of mechanical systems into current architecture

Use of shotcrete for shear walls

System for glass roof area

team interaction:

Value enginering for budget
