INTENT OF THE INITIAL PHASE OF THE PROJECT

The major intent of the initial phase of this thesis

pro-ject was to design a footprint of structural, vertical

circulation and mechanical components which when combined forms a self-sufficient, integrated building unit. This unit when combined with other such units could grow hori-zontally and vertically to form various building sizes with different spacial qualities.

It was also important to design the structural components in such a manner as to achieve: flexibility within the system; simplicity of construction; openings for cores in-dependent of the structure; a variety of edge condition possibilities; and possible circulation patterns.

The system developed for this project will be applied to the design of an urban university as the final phase of the thesis. Thus the size of module and dimensions of a typical bay should generally fulfill the needs of academic buildings, laboratories, classrooms, office facilities, etc.

(7)

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

The system that I developed was a linear system. Definite advantages exist in chosing this system over a two-way sys-tem. First, there is greater flexibility in creating openings

in the structure for stairs, courts, multi-story spaces and cores because structural continuity is not required. Also, there is no need for on site scaffolding and complex post-tensioning since the structural members are all simply sup-ported. Finally, the mechanical system is inherently a linear one and since mechanical and structural should be integrated, it seemed most logical to develop the one way system.

An important idea behind the development of this system was to naturally cantilever out from a double dual column in both directions. By seperating the columns by ten feet

into two U-shaped elements, I was able to reduce the span of

a typical bay, reduce the initial cantilever of the

inde-pendent building unit, create a circulation pattern between

the split columns, and create a good mechanical distribution pattern.

This basic building unit is thus composed of: a split dou-ble column; a primary doudou-ble tee girder which is placed upon

(8)

the columns; two secondary girders that are placed perpen-dicular to and cantilever out from the primary double

gir-ders; and two double tee inf ill beams which are simply

supported between the secondary girders. When constructed, the floor area of the basic building unit covers 30 feet by 40 feet. By repeating these basic units on 60 feet by

80 feet centers and using infill girders and more double tee infill beams, a typical structural bay can be formed. Also, by simply excluding these infill girders or double tee beams, a variety of spacial openings can be created without disturbing the structural efficiency of the system.

The clear span between columns is

55

feet by 60 feet. The longest structural members are reduced to 40 feet. The

re-duction in clear span and size of structural members is

made possible by the configuration of the cantilevered

building unit.

Cantilever Flexibility

The ability to vary the peripheral dimensions of the

struc-tural system plays an important part in giving flexibility to interior spacial planning and in varying the visual ex-terior characteristics. These considerations play important roles in creating a flexible system.

(9)

The structural system was designed in such a way to avoid unnatural, "glued on" cantilevers requiring scaffolding and post-tensioning methods. Here cantilevering is created naturally in both directions and is an inherent part of the

system. The distance the structure can extend from the edge of the column in both directions can vary from 0 to 20 feet and depends mainly on a balancing of the structural loads.

Planning Module

The basic modular dimension is 5'-0" by 101-0". The 5'-0" dimension between the double tee section will stay constant, but in the other direction can vary depending on the size of the space enclosed. This, in turn, influences the place-ment of the diaphram members. In larger spaces the diaphrams might not be needed, but in smaller spaces, say a 10'-0" by 10'-0" office, there could be four 5'-0" by 5'-0" modules

or two 5'-0" by 10'-0" modules. These considerations would

depend on the function and character of the spaces being created.

The cantilever from the face of the column provides the possibility of locating rooms along the building periphery which could vary in depth from 10'-0" to 40'-0".

(10)

Design and Location of Cores

The sizes and characteristics of the cores are defined by

their location within the building. The core elements in-clude: passenger elevators; freight elevators; fire stairs; toilets; storage areas; and janitor, electric, and telephone closets. This system allows for the cores to be placed any-where between the girders which means the dimension in that direction will be a constant 40'-0". In the other

direc-tion, it can grow in 2'-6" intervals according to functional needs. The cores are structurally independent of the

struc-tural system; thus, they can be constructed separately.

Circulation

Horizontal circulation could exist within the system in a

variety of ways. One possibility would be to place peri-meter corridors between the split columns. Therefore a

linear pattern of circulation could be established, while

at the same time perimeter room depths could vary depend-ing on their function and cantilever flexibility. Another

condition would be the interior circulation pattern. This

major circulation, interconnecting the cores, could occur alongside the columns. In this case, the corridor width

(11)

Vertical circulation can occur in two ways - through the cores or by means of open stair wells. The cores contain a continuous means of vertical travel by elevators or stairs,

single and scissors. Open stairs can exist to link major two story spaces or to reduce the number of stops for the elevators, since people could use the stairs for traveling between areas with the same functions.

(12)

STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS

The components of the structural system are all made of pre-cast concrete. The shapes were developed with these

important factors in mind: high structural efficiency; prefabrication; ease of transport; and construction and erection process. The final results yeilded a minimum of components, simply shaped and easily erected. The basic

components are two U-shaped columns at each support, pri-mary double tee girders, secondary girders, infill girders, double tee infill beams, and diaphrams.

Columns

The columns are cast in floor to ceiling lengths of 10'-0" thus reducing the weight and size of each member for ease of transport to the site. The columns are U-shaped to at-tain lateral stability, achieve continuity between the backs of the columns, and have one side open for access to the mechanical equipment. The top and bottom column sides are open. Here reinforcing rods are extended to achieve continuity between columns and girders. Each side

of the column measures 1'-4" by 6'-4" and encloses a me-chanical space 3'-8" by 41-6".

(13)

Primary Girder

This prestressed girder was developed for a combination of functions. It takes the shape of a double tee in section. This provides an immediate horizontal floor slab to walk

on. Construction is simplified by placing the girders,

as one, upon the columns. The slab also helps to strengthen the section in tension and provides lateral stability. The slab of the double tee girder is 10 feet by 39 feet and has two openings which correspond to the openings for the mechanical in the columns. These double tee girders have a total depth of 3'-8" and a width of 1'-4" directly over the columns. The other width dimension is 1'-0" but it has a 2 inch ledge on each side to add to the compressive

strength of this member and to provide a seat for the

ceil-ing fixtures. Two openings are located at the center of the girders, where shear is at a minimum, to provide for horizontal passage of the mechanical components.

Secondary Girder

This member is used to support the double tee infill beams and also to transfer their weight back to the primary gir-ders. It has a length of 25 feet and a depth of 3'-8".

(14)

The width of this girder is X'-O" with 2 inch ledges which increases its compressive efficiency and also provides a seat for the ceiling fixtures. This member is also pre-stressed. Tension takes place at the top while compression acts at the bottom of the section. Small openings occur

on 5 feet centers to allow the end of the mechanical runs to pass through. Two other openings also exist acting as slots for the primary girder connections. (See drawing "Sec-tions through Structural Components") Lugs are placed 5 feet on centers and simply support the double tee infill beams.

Infill Girder

This girder is simply supported on the ends of the second-ary girder and is 35 feet in length. Its other dimensions and characteristics are the same as the secondary girder except that compression takes place at the top while tension acts at the bottom of the section.

Double Tee Inf ill Beam

This prestressed member can be placed anywhere between the secondary or infill girders and is simply supported on

(15)

their lugs. The tee sections are

5

feet on centers with a slab overhang of 2'-6" on both sides. Thus the slab of

the double tee beam is 10 feet by 39 feet but could vary by casting tee sections to meet the need of interior open-ings or exterior fascia conditions. Examples could be single tees or double tees with one 2'-6" slab overhang removed. The depth of the double tee beam is 3'-8" and its width is 5 inches with 2 inch ledges which increase the strength of the member in tension and act as supports for the ceiling fixtures. Casting the slab as part of the double tee simplifies construction and strengthens the section in compression. Two openings occur in the center of the beams to allow for mechanical circulation. This is the most efficient place for openings in a simply supported beam because of minimum shear.

Diaphrams

These members are placed between the beams either on 5 feet or 10 feet centers or not used at all, depending on the size and function of a room. Their dimensions are 6 inches wide by 10 inches deep by 4'-7" long. Diaphrams are needed to take partitions in the transverse direction and to sup-port the coffered ceiling fixtures.

(16)

MECHANICAL COMPONENTS

The mechanical system distributes itself integrally with-in the structural system between the floor of the double tee beams and the recessed ceiling fixtures. The mechani-cal module is the same as the structural and follows a similar pattern of growth. Thus wherever extensions or voids exist within the structural system, they can be me-chanically serviced without special conditions or awkward patterns of distribution.

Air Supply and Return

Duct space is provided within each double split column. A single high velocity air duct at 4,000 f.p.m. supplies cooled air vertically through one of these columns. The other column returns the used air through a duct at a low velocity of 1,500 f.p.m. This system was designed to han-dle five floors with the mechanical equipment being at one location. (If this equipment were located at the top and

bottom of a structure, it could handle twice as many floors.) At each floor the air system is distributed horizontally

(17)

square feet or one bay. Located between the two split columns is a velocity reducing, sound reducing attenuator box. Here supply air is reduced in velocity to 1,500 f.p.m. The main branches of the supply and return ducts split in two and run parallel between the split columns for 30 feet. Secondary branches are taken off perpendicular to the main branch and run parallel between the double tee beams for 40 feet. Reheat coils are inserted into the main and

sec-ondary supply branches according to where different zone control is needed. Supply diffusers and return grilles are attached to the underside of the secondary branches.

These in turn are connected to the recessed ceiling fix-tures.

Plumbing

The pipes, including hot and cold water supply, waste, and ventilation are distributed vertically at two locations depending on their function. Pipes located in core shafts

serve toilets and janitor closets. Secondary piped services are located in columns with the air supply ducts. These

pipes follow the same horizontal distribution pattern as the supply and return air system. All of the vertical and horizontal pipes are accessible and may be readily serviced or replaced.

(18)

Recessed Ceiling Fixture

This unit which sits on ledges provided by the structural components serves many purposes. First, it acts as an acoustical isolation barrier between rooms and as a sound absorber within rooms. Secondly, this fixture contains built-in fluorescent panels which illuminate evenly each recessed ceiling module and the floor below. Each light panel could contain from two to four bulbs depending on the foot candle intensity needed for each particular room. Also, this fixture contains two air grilles at each end of the light panel; one for air supply, the other for air return.

(In some larger spaces, like laboratories or work rooms, diaphrams and recessed ceiling fixtures would not be needed. Here the mechanical system could be exposed with lighting

(19)

CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE

1. The U-shaped columns are placed upon the primary gir-ders and column below, and welded at their bearing plates.

2. Reinforcing rods that extend from the columns and girders are tied together and the rectangular open

joints are poured thus attaining continuity with the

structure below.

3. Primary double tee girders are positioned on each set of split columns and welded at four bearing points. Four rectangular open joints between columns and gir-ders are poured to gain continuity.

4. Secondary girders are supported perpendicularly to and on the end extensions of the primary girders.

They are positioned into place from the sides and

secured by welding

5. Infill girders are placed, simply supported, on the end extensions of the secondary girders. They are dropped into place from above and their bearing con-nections welded.

6.

Double tee infill beams are placed from above any-where between secondary or infill girders. The

beams are positioned onto lugs of the girders, grouted and welded secure.

(20)

7. Electrical and telephone chases for wiring are placed on top of the structural pre-cast floor.

8. A four inch topping is then poured over the top of

the structural pre-cast floor thus insuring conti-nuity within the structure.

9. Mechanical duct work and pipes are placed vertical-ly in the columns.

10. Ducts and pipes are then hung horizontally from the underside of the pre-cast structure. Attenuators and re-heat coils are placed. Then all the

neces-sary connections are made.

11. Diaphrams are inserted, where needed, between the webs of the double tee beams.

12. Recessed ceiling fixtures are then placed on ledges in the ceiling modules created by the tee beams and diaphrams.

13. All the necessary electrical connections for the

lighting and mechanical connections for supply out-let diffusers and return inout-lets are then made.

INTENT OF THE FINAL PHASE OF THE PROJECT

The major intent of the final phase of this thesis project was to develop a new campus in an urban environment using the flexible building system developed previously. The pro-gram and system affords us an opportunity to develop prototype

campuses that have the ability to expand horizontally and vertically within the limitations of the system and to serve functional changes that are expected to occur.

It was also important to investigate the potential use of a continuous grid developed over the site as a means of

de-signing the university. The structural module, the removal of non-supporting construction elements to create voids and define spaces, the location of cores were all important fac-tors in the development of a concept for this urban university.

Finally, this project was used as an exercise in large scale planning and in the organization of many functions within the limits of a previously developed flexible, integrated structural and mechanical system.

(37)

THE PROGRAM

A site was to be chosen or created near the center of a very densely populated area of the city. The basic area allotted for campus development was 65 acres. This includes two stages of construction. The first stage for approximately 6000 stu-dents would satisfy the college needs until 1980. The enroll-ment was planned to double at the turn of the century for the

second stage.

The elements of the program are divided into four major parts: academic; group activities for public and student use; housing; and parking and mechanical areas. The academic disciplines

include science, engineering and computer center, architecture and planning, and humanities. Group activity functions

in-clude a university library, museum, auditorium, theater, arena, athletic facilities, and a student center which includes a

medical department. Housing for students includes an under-graduate center, under-graduate center, and married student housing. The parking areas are to provide space for at least 2500 cars, most of these to be placed below the university along with the mechanical areas and the power plant.

(38)

THE MAJOR DESIGN CONCEPT OF THE PROJECT

In developing a hypothetical site I was given the opportunity to set my own limitations for the project. A rectangular site inclosed by four streets was chosen. One major divided roadway is on one short side, a secondary road is on the other side. On the long sides are two public transportation streets with a mixture of older residential and commercial buildings facing the campus. Around the whole general area surrounding the site are older low and high-rise apartment buildings. The density of these areas is extremely high. Eventually it is expected that the construction of the new university will influence the renewal of such areas which hopefully will become an integrated part of a larger develop-ment.

The major pedestrian entrances and automobile entrances are on the long sides of the campus. Minor entrances for pedes-trian, automobiles, and services are on the short sides of

the campus.

The major design concept behind this proposed campus was the development of two major axes of circulation within the uni-versity. The first axis is perpendicular to the long street

(39)

with the main entrance to the campus at its center. Grouped along this axis are public activity buildings. The student

center and athletic facility with an arena above are on op-posite sides of the main entrance. Inside the heart of the

campus and facing each other are the theater and auditorium. The end of the axis is culminated by the university library and museum. The functions in these highly active areas will

obviously attract a great number of people. Thus the way in which the buildings are grouped forms the major space. Working as a void in the system, the space is created by removing twelve structural bays. The dimensions of the space are 200 feet by 240 feet. The second axis is perpendicular to the first and is created by two parallel spines that are each three floors high. Here interior circulation is dis-persed. At the center of the campus all activity buildings grow out from the spines. At the ends of the spines are the academic buildings; humanities, science, engineering, and architecture and planning. Secondary academic spaces are formed by the removal of nine structural bays at the two

ends formed by the two circulation spines, the academic

buildings and the theater and auditorium. The dimensions of the secondary spaces are 165 feet by 200 feet.

By separating the buildings that grow out from the two spines, secondary pedestrian entrances to the interior spaces and the

(40)

spines are formed. Thus at ground level each entrance to the courts is open with separate entrances into the buildings

through the spines. The second and third levels of the spine are inclosed for through circulation and link all the

func-tions of the university. Also the spine carries the needed vertical circulation through the cores that are spaced along

these circulation paths. Also placed along the spine at these two levels are multipurpose lecture halls that could serve all academic functions plus lectures open to the pub-lic from the surrounding community. The upper level of the spines and the roofs of the theater and auditorium are used for exterior circulation with entrances to most university functions from this level. It is hopeful that enough funds could be raised to landscape this important circulation level.

The building design of the academic units were handled in such a way as to decrease the floor area on the upper floors. This was done in order to create laboratory spaces that would be used for long periods of the day, thus the necessity for natural light. Upper terrace areas are developed by stepping back the structural bays in certain areas on each upper floor above the spine. Hopefully these areas could also be

land-scaped. The lower floors, which have much greater floor areas, contain offices at the perimeter and interior

(41)

Below the ground level of the university complex are two lower level floors. The basic shape is a simple rectangle which covers almost the entire building area that grows above. This level contains truck dock facilities, parking for 1500 automobiles, and the vertical cores that serve shipping and vertical circulation. Therefore, the pedestrian by taking

elevators in a specific core could go directly to his des-tination. In the center of this level is a pedestrian is-land. It contains the lower levels of the theater and audi-torium with some of their related functions plus escalators that connect their lobbies. Space is also provided for shops, like a small drugstore or bookstore. Most important though are the landscaped courts that are open to the major and

secondary spaces above with stairs directly connecting these spaces with this lower parking level. The lowest level con-tains parking for 1000 cars, a vertical circulation pattern, space for mechanical equipment, and the university power plant.

Housing for the university is developed across the streets at the ends of the public activity axis. Each of the two developments contain three towers growing from a main

ter-race which connects the university with pedestrian overpasses. One group of towers contains undergraduate housing, the other group contains graduate and married student housing. At

(42)

and open courts with stairs that lead to the overpasses and the campus. Below each commons area is one level of park-ing facilities for the students.

(43)

POTENTIAL GROWTH OF THE URBAN UNIVERSITY

The first stage of construction for 6000 students covers

approximately 45 acres of the 65 acres of the purchased land. Ten acres on each end of the site still remains to be devel-oped. Thus when the university expands, it will expand

linearly in two directions and will continue to grow out from the two spines.

The public activity areas will not expand except for the li-brary which will expand downward and take over the two floors of parking just directly below the library. Thus the center of gravity of the university and the character of the

cen-tral space will not be altered by expansion.

Major expansion for the university will take place in the academic facilities where floor areas will double in size. This expanded growth is designed in such a way as not to change the architectural character of the first design stage and its surrounding spaces, but to create a continuous se-quence of spaces by proper placement of the new buildings. Two levels of parking and services will expand below and
