Recital Hall and Music I Renovation

Proven Track Record on the University Park Campus Our core A/E+landscape team worked together to produce the award winning Hort Woods Child Care Center / Lab School adjacent to the Music Building. This project demonstrated a deep understanding of the campus landscape and architecture and successfully re-imagined the Allen Street campus gateway as well as healing and defining the edge of Hort Woods. In addition, the team developed an exceptionally good working relationship with OPP, working collaboratively with Project management, Campus Planning, Landscape and Architecture teams to produce a signature building. Collectively, our design team has a wealth of experience on campus having been involved in well over 250 Penn State projects over the last five years.

Clear understanding of the project’s design and planning issues • The creation of a “perfect 10” recital hall with acoustical performance that rivals the best in the country

and the development of high performance practice spaces to support the music department. • The creation of a project which helps to unify the campus arts precinct and reveal the creative activities

within the music department through carefully integrated architectural and landscape design. Using the architecture and landscape design to ensure that the creative work that takes place within the Music department is not hidden from view.

• The integration of sustainable design into all aspects of the project. Our core design team collaborated to produce the first LEED Platinum building in the Pennsylvania State College system in the adjacent Hort Woods project. We embrace the Penn State approach to ensuring that all sustainability strategies have a logical and demonstrable benefit to the University and firmly believe that an integrated design process and ongoing collaboration with OPP can result in sustainable, economical, functional and inspirational buildings and landscapes.

• The creation of a building that is a vital and integral part of the pedagogical process for both the music department and ARL Acoustics fostering a deeper understanding of the relationship between space and music. In developing the Hort Woods Lab School and child care center, the project team did ground-breaking work in the integration of the built environment with the pedagogical aims of the Penn State client group. We see an amazing opportunity to optimize the way the built environment supports music education as well as providing a unique laboratory for exploring the relationships between space, acoustics and music. Our team, with the addition of Acentech Acoustics and Theatre Projects Consultants, is committed to pushing the envelope to make this the best, most innovative music building in the country.

• A forward thinking approach to technology that incorporates the best available systems and allows flexibility for the adoption of emerging technologies in the future. We are committed to a close coordination between Reese Engineering, Acentech’s audiovisual system design and information technology departments, and the Music Department to ensure that this facility opens on the cutting edge of technology and is designed to seamlessly accommodate evolving and emerging systems as they develop.

Acentech AcousticsThe new music building at Penn State must embrace both performance and pedagogy. The recital hall should be a world class performing space and a state-of-the art teaching space; the rehearsal, practice, and studio spaces must be outstanding for teaching and learning, listening and playing. This begins with silence: rooms for music must heat and cool silently and be unencumbered by sound from their surroundings. From that foundation, the rooms can be crafted for beautiful and supportive acoustics and outfitted with highly functional technology. In the recital hall Penn State will have the benefit of new construction to realize these goals from scratch; in other spaces, the goals must be realized within the envelope of the existing building. The acoustical and audiovisual design consultants at Studio A - Acentech’s performing arts studio - are particularly well suited to meet these needs.

Studio A is a specialized group of Acentech consultants, led by Jonah Sacks, focused on design of spaces for performing arts. These include Penn State University alumni Robert William Wolff (MA Theatre Arts ‘63) and Rose Mary Su (MEng Acoustics ‘09). Studio A draws on the broad expertise of Acentech.

Many of us are active musicians, and all of us are active concert and theatergoers. On project after project, our passion for the arts and design and our deep engineering expertise have enabled the creation of excellent music and music education spaces within budget and site constraints. Completed projects in Pennsylvania include the Weis Center at Bucknell University and the Performing Arts Center at Seton Hill University. Current projects in Pennsylvania include a study of options for acoustical variability at Bucknell’s Weis Center and improvements to acoustics and audiovisual systems for the Mann Center in Philadelphia.

We have delivered successful music performance spaces at Clayton State University in Georgia (Spivey Hall), Mercer University in Georgia (Fickling Hall), North Carolina School for the Arts (Watson Chamber Music Hall), Emerson College in Boston (Paramount Center), and Alfred University in New York (Miller Center), among others. We have delivered outstanding large music rehearsal room at many of these institutions, as well as Westminster Choir College in New Jersey (Marion Buckelew Cullen Center) and The Boston Conservatory (Ipswich Street Rehearsal Building), among others. Our current projects include music performance and rehearsal space at the University of Massachusetts Boston, University of Rhode Island, and Wellesley College, among others. Our work also includes numerous public and independent high school auditoria, which provide valuable experience in providing highly functional spaces on very tight budgets.We are pleased to be considered for this project for the School of Music at Penn State University, and we look forward to helping to expand the possibilities for music at Penn State. Acentech is currently working on campus on the renovations and additions to the HUB.

The Paramount Center received the ‘Best Practices Large Project’

Award from the International Facility Management Association (IFMA)

Boston Chapter, the Boston Society of Architect’s ‘Honor Award’ and AIA New

When Emerson College purchased the historic Paramount Theatre in Boston’s downtown theater district, they had ambitious plans. What was once a 1500-seat movie house has been renovated

into an 800-seat proscenium theatre with a full-

certain architectural features from the original were repurposed, such as a beautifully painted rococo “fan” that once permitted organ music to waft into the movie

above the forestage. The new theater serves students and faculty at Emerson College and also the larger Boston community; several local performing groups have expressed interest in performing in the new theater.

But Emerson’s plans did not stop at the Paramount’s main performance space. To it they added a black box theater, scene shop and other theatrical support

rehearsal studios, practice rooms, teaching spaces,

The Academic Commons renovation included upgrades to make academic support services more accessible, classrooms which are now equipped with state-of-the-art technology, and open, comfortable public spaces that both students and guests can enjoy.

Acentech consulted on the Lecture Hall located adjacent to the Main Lobby. As part of the design rooftop HVAC units would be located directly above the Hall, radiating noise through the roof/ceiling. Breakout noise from ductwork as well as air-velocity noise were primary concerns. To control mechanical noise, Acentech worked closely with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson Architects to select vibration isolating roof curbs, and design a suitable sound barrier between the roof and the finished ceiling in the Lecture Hall. We also provided advice on the duct layout, which ensured air flow velocities were kept sufficiently low.

Our recommendations to mitigate sound and vibration from mechanical equipment into the Lecture Hall and treatment of the interior surfaces were successful. The Lecture Hall is now a suitable teaching space with sufficiently low background levels, adequate distribution of ‘wanted’ sound and good speech intelligibility. The school is very pleased with the final outcome.

The Pennsylvania State University Hetzel Union Building (HUB) is the heart of student action within the University Park Campus. The building hosts more than 45,000 undergrad and graduate students throughout their day-to-day campus life. Our work with Gund Partnership comprises nearly 55,000-square feet of new construction and 52,000-square feet of renovated space to accommodate the increased use of the space.

The Hetzel Union Building includes dining space that surrounds the atrium, a bookstore with a green roof above, several multi-purpose rooms, the college radio station suite, and a multi-purpose flex theater. Acentech consulted on acoustics and mechanical system noise and vibration control for these spaces.

One significant design and coordination challenge in the project was controlling noise from major ductwork that carries a large volume of air to serve this large atrium space, despite the ducts’ proximity to the noise-sensitive theater and radio station spaces. The solution involved heavy duct-lagging products, gypsum enclosures, and careful duct routing.

Acentech worked with Gund and theater consultant Robert Long of Theatre Consultants Collaborative on the flexible black-box theater space. This space will predominately serve student-run groups on campus.

Another fascinating aspect of the project is the central atrium itself – the hub of the HUB. Absorption in the large atrium – to control the build-up of activity noise during dining and other activity – is provided by an acoustically absorptive steel roof deck.

Our services

At Theatre Projects, we take a comprehensive and detailed approach to designing performance spaces. From the earliest conversations to opening night and beyond, we provide expert service in all aspects of both new and renovation projects. We approach each project with a real understanding of how theatre works. We consider both current and future needs, and we work with our clients to realize the full potential of each space for its users and community.

Strategic planningWe understand the issues organizations like yours face – because we’ve faced them ourselves. Our strategic planners have successfully led major arts organizations and performing arts centers. We provide insight and direction from project start-up through architect selection, artistic programming, and every aspect of operations and governance.

Every project starts with a conversation – about a problem to be solved or a vision to be realized. You tell us what you want to achieve, and we’ll work with you to make it happen.

Theatre designIn theatre, the actors and audience create the event together. A great room is not just about good sightlines and comfortable seating, a great room connects the audience and actor, creating a lively exchange of energy.

We apply our understanding of this powerful interaction between space and performance to create great spaces where theatre comes to life. We start by discussing how you’ll use the space. Then we take an integrated approach, resolving technical issues like seating and sightlines while advancing the room design. As the room evolves, we’ll give you a three-dimensional understanding of the space using renderings and models, so you have a clear idea of how it will feel and work once it’s built.

Our services

Theatre planningPerforming arts buildings are complex structures. The front of the building serves the public, while the back acts as a second home for the artists and as an efficient factory for creative craftsmanship. These two worlds converge in the auditorium, where audience and artists create theatre together.

We speak the distinct languages of theatre, construction, and design. With our diverse backgrounds in theatre and architecture, we’re well-versed in the needs of everyone involved with the building. Our ability to translate between artists and architects helps keep the complicated details of these buildings clear to everyone on the project team. We’re dedicated to scrutinizing every detail to deliver the very best building possible.

Theatre equipmentIn the theatre, what goes on behind the scenes appears to happen by magic – whether that’s a flawless scene change, brilliant lighting design, or subtle sound effect. We design the equipment that turns necessity into magic – efficiently, safely, and invisibly.

Not surprisingly, this equipment demands much from the building’s structural, electrical, and mechanical systems. We define and coordinate these heavy requirements while integrating flexible, intelligent systems.

But we go beyond just designing the invisible deus ex machina for your theatre. We start at the beginning, imagining with you everything that’s possible, following all the way through to ensuring the equipment works as designed.

Reese Engineering Reese Engineering worked with our design team on the Hort Woods Child Care Center / Lab School at the University Park Campus of Penn State University. This award winning building is adjacent to the Music Buildings on campus and successfully marks the campus entry while creating an appealing new edge to Hort Woods. The center is the first Penn State building ever awarded a LEED Platinum Certification. The success of this building from the standpoint of both energy efficiency and occupant comfort has led Penn State to pursue the incorporation of hybrid ventilation schemes on other new campus buildings. Reese Engineering provided the mechanical design, electrical design, plumbing design, lighting design, and LEED energy modeling services for the project. Reese Engineering has a long-standing relationship with Penn State University, having provided design services for well over 100 projects over the past 14 years through open ended task order contracts and project-specific contracts. This experience has given us the background to fully understand and appreciate the current scope of work required by Penn State University. In addition, Reese Engineering has designed the mechanical, electrical, lighting, and plumbing systems for approximately 20 recital halls and auditoriums. This work includes the $1.4 million renovation of a double height recital hall for Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA. Reese and StudioMLA are currently collaborating on another LEED Platinum building in Gaithersburg MD. Reese Engineering will be in charge of all MEP and Fire Protection design as well as energy modeling.

Stahl Sheaffer Engineering – Higher Education Stahl Sheaffer Engineering has provided engineering services to The Pennsylvania State University since our founding in 2006. We are an approved consultant with an open-ended contract for the Office of Physical Plant and we have been involved in hundreds of projects at the University Park campus. Due to our proven successes and working relationships there, we have begun projects at the Commonwealth Campuses. We have also co-presented at KAPPA and ERAPPA conventions with members of Penn State’s OPP.

We are located just a few miles from University Park, and have easy access to and experience with obtaining as-built drawings and coordinating access to buildings to gain the information required for design. We have a high success rate for acquiring L&I approval on the first submission, and experience providing documentation for variance requests and for negotiating interpretation disparities.

Stahl Sheaffer has been involved in many structural engineering projects that required collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including University project managers, architects, municipal officials, MEP’s, landscape architects, etc. We can provide BIM drawings through our use and experience of Revit.

Our structural expertise encompasses structures from housing to dining to classrooms to athletic facilities to parking garages to historic structures, and materials from steel to wood to concrete to brick and limestone. Services include: In-depth inspections Analysis of structural

capacities Forensic investigation Façade restoration

Retrofit of existing components

BIM / 3D modeling Compliance upgrades Roof repair

Historic preservation Construction administration

& inspection Design of new facilities

Our value is in the upfront experience of identifying root problems and providing recommendations that are the most cost effective, sustainable, and practical for the client and the users of the facility. To further enhance the design process and the outcome, Stahl Sheaffer embraces Prevention through Design (PtD), allowing us to recognize safety concerns and noncompliance in new design efforts, and in remediating existing conditions.

In addition to our registered engineers and designers in building structures, we also have qualified and licensed individuals in land development and traffic who can address issues related to municipal requirements, permitting, One Calls, landscaping, pedestrian and vehicle traffic, parking, environmental concerns, and other associated situations.


Computer Building, University Park, PA Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Structural Design for 6,000 sf Addition Total Construction Cost: $9,000,000 Completed: 2008

Stahl Sheaffer Engineering served as the structural engineer for The Pennsylvania State University Office of Physical Plant’s project to expand the Computer Building. The structural system included steel framing with composite decking and masonry sheer walls where applicable. Special consideration was required around the existing foundations to avoid influencing or undermining the existing structure. Stahl Sheaffer

designed isolated foundations for the large emergency generators to reduce vibration transmission to computer servers and other IT equipment. Stepped footings were incorporated as necessary to coordinate with the variable depth existing foundations. A design to reinforce selected structural members in the existing building was also performed to support new rooftop mechanical equipment.

Greenberg Sports Complex, University Park, PA Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Structural Engineering for 90,000 sf Renovation Total Construction Cost: $9,000,000 Completed: 2015

Stahl Sheaffer provided engineering design for the conversion of the previous Penn State ice rink building to lab space, including the addition of a new composite steel framed second floor within the existing space, extending the mechanical room to add a second floor, and a new entry with lobby, elevator and grand staircase. The existing structure was reused to the greatest extent possible, and the new floor was laterally isolated from the existing structure with its own lateral force resisting system. Stahl Sheaffer modeled the building in Revit.


Fall Protection, Penn State Beaver, Monaca PA Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Contact: Ronald Kobelenske, Project Coordinator, (814) 280-8792 Description: Structural Design Design Fee: $95,000 Construction Cost: $600,000 (Estimated)

Stahl Sheaffer Engineering served as the structural engineer for the Commonwealth Campus Fall Protection project. Over the course of approximately one year, Stahl Sheaffer has worked on over 25 buildings on 9 campuses including the Library and Ross Administration buildings on Beaver Campus. Under the direction of Ron Kobelenske, Stahl Sheaffer provided engineering services to evaluate rooftop access for maintenance personnel based on OSHA requirements and Penn State EH&S Standards. Field surveys, including interviews with campus maintenance personnel, were performed to determine access methods and protection needs based on routes of travel, equipment proximity to roof edges, and other safety concerns. This information was used to develop schematic layouts for railing, ladders, access hatches, hard-point tie-offs, and other safety improvements. Schematic designs were coordinated with Penn State’s Campus Planning and Design for aesthetic concerns, and were economized to the greatest extent possible in an effort to extend the budget for the fall protection initiative while maintaining safe working conditions. Designs were also coordinated with ongoing building improvement and re-roofing projects.

Pegula Ice Arena, University Park, PA Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Masonry Inspection for 225,000 sf New Construction Construction Cost: $89,000,000

Penn State Mushroom Research Center Expansion Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Jeffrey D. Spackman, Facilities Project Manager, (814) 863-2496 Description: Feasibility Study, Site Design, & Structural Engineering for 8,060sf Expansion Design Fee: $47,560 Construction Cost: $2,000,000 (Estimated)

Completed: In Progress

Stahl Sheaffer conducted a feasibility study and analysis of the site that is proposed for the expansion of the existing Mushroom Research Center, located on the Penn State University campus in College Township, Centre County. The existing mushroom research and growing operations are currently conducted in two different locations along Big Hollow Road, and it is desired to combine the process into one facility. The analysis included site layout, access, utility connections, permitting requirements, and stormwater management of the proposed project.

Stahl Sheaffer also provided structural engineering for the design of the facility addition. The structural system utilized an innovative composite masonry system with structural block, insulation, and thin-veneer shipped to the site as a complete unit for construction of the exterior bearing walls. The roof structure is comprised of wood trusses spaced at 4’-0” centers supporting a structurally insulated panel system to form the roof surface. Both the wall and roof systems were selected based on durability and economy while maintaining a continuous thermal envelope. The designers worked with the owner to coordinate the building design with equipment specialized to the process of mushroom farming including tunnels and bunkers with specialized growing conditions.


Wolf and Ritner Halls, University Park, PA Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Façade Rehabilitation Total Construction Cost: $800,000 Completed: 2011

Stahl Sheaffer Engineering provided the University with construction documents and specifications to rehabilitate the masonry façade of twin dormitories, Wolf and Ritner Halls, located on the corner of Bigler and Curtain Roads. Services included plans and details for full cleaning of the entire building, repair of spalled concrete frames, repair of brick relief angles, and re-pointing the stair towers, roof, and limestone where needed. Stahl Sheaffer also created documents for repair of a retaining and exterior wall between Ritner Hall and Pollock Commons. This portion included replacement of one-third of the face brick, re-pointing the mortar joints, replacement of coping stones and flashing, and on-site construction administration. In addition to the masonry restoration design, Stahl Sheaffer designed OSHA-compliant hand and guard rails to replace existing non-compliant, oxidized railing systems.

Westminster College, Galbreath Dining Hall Renovations

Completed structural engineering for the renovations to the 10,000 sf dining hall that included the removal of load bearing walls and installation of columns and footing retrofits, along with new façade and roof penetrations. Project was complicated by the presence of utility and stormwater tunnels beneath the dining hall.


Shunk Hall, University Park, PA Owner: The Pennsylvania State University Fall Protection Design and Construction Documentation and Administration Professional Services Fee: $13,000 Completed: 2013

Stahl Sheaffer provided design and construction documents for the modification and extension of existing service catwalks to maintain and service cooling towers on the roof of Shunk Hall. Connections to existing steel members were analyzed for the additional loads imposed by the new catwalk and fall protection anchorages. Stahl Sheaffer produced schematic plans depicting the arrangement of the catwalks and access corridors, and designed and specified rated hard-points for retractable lanyards at key points around the perimeter of the catwalk’s steel framing. The catwalks were designed based on the 2009 International Building Code and ASCE 7-05, Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures as well as OSHA regulations and University-specific requirements.

Penn State West Campus Chiller Plant Full Survey and Land Development Services for Building and Parking Lot Expansion Owner: The Pennsylvania State University

Construction Cost: $5,500,000

Penn State's West Campus Chiller Plant required the design of an elevated steel platform to support rooftop cooling towers. Stahl Sheaffer performed an analysis of the existing building's structural system and the proposed platform's connection to the existing roof framing. The analysis for both the existing structure and steel platform was aided by 3-D BIM software to effectively design the proposed steel platform to withstand gravity, wind, and vibration loads from the proposed towers. Additional design was required for the proposed acoustic and screen wall enclosures for the chillers. Stahl Sheaffer Engineering designed a 30' tall steel framework to extend from the structure's existing roof to support these panels and withstand the region’s wind loading requirements. Stahl Sheaffer also provided design and documentation of a landscape addition, sump piers and maintenance, bathroom framing, additional concrete pads, VFD room framing, hard points above chillers, and new cooling tower installation. Stahl Sheaffer engineers created a 3D coordinated BIM model in Revit of new and existing conditions.

Firm Description

7group is a Pennsylvania LLC that was formed in 1999 to provide consulting services related to green building and integrative design. The partners of 7group own individual companies that complement and integrate with each other, thereby synergizing their breadth of expertise by providing a variety of services that is unique. The 7group partners have worked together for over 19 years to create some of the most successful green projects in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East; accordingly, 7group has helped define internationally, the financial and environmental benefits of green buildings, integrative design, and regenerative development.

The key to cost-effective green design is the practice of integrative design. This multi-disciplinary approach mandates that all design team members participate early in the design process by focusing on ways to downsize or eliminate building systems. Our efforts on over 100 past projects have resulted in significantly smaller HVAC systems, significantly fewer light fixtures, the elimination of perimeter heating systems, optimized HVAC system location, and other integrated solutions that have reduced both first cost and operating costs. 7group can guide your team through the integrative design process to explore similar possibilities.

In order to do this work, 7group utilizes tools such as computer-generated energy modeling, daylighting simulations, building commissioning, life-cycle analysis, project development software, charrette facilitation, and communication media, to name just a few. However, it is not the tools themselves that make a project successful; rather, it is how these tools are used. 7group’s partners synergize their decades of experience across numerous disciplines to finely craft projects with skillful application of these tools. This is accomplished by transforming and integrating the information garnered from each set of studies or analyses into practical, usable solutions that save money and reduce environmental impacts.

7group currently is leading project teams in the integrative design and regenerative aspects of both new and renovated office buildings, schools, hospitals, housing, hospitality, retail, and multi-use projects for public and private sector, federal, state, corporate, and international projects. 7group also provides consulting services for the development of new materials, for integrated product production (in which the waste of one process serves as a feedstock for another), for integrated and regenerative community master-planning and sustainable development, for multimedia presentation of the "green" story embodied within such projects, and for educational efforts aimed at teaching the design and construction community about integrative design and regenerative practice. 7group members also teach courses at several colleges and universities about environmental design, green architecture, sustainable and regenerative development, daylighting, and energy engineering.

7group collectively offers its clients over 120 years of experience and skill aimed at environmental sustainability in the areas of environmentally beneficial technology and materials, energy efficiency deployment, engineering, architecture/design integration, regenerative development, sustainable food production, commissioning, and communications.

Child Care Center at Hort Woods As the first Penn State building to earn LEED Platinum certification, the

Child Care Center at Hort Woods aspires to help future generations

understand the importance of recognizing that humans are not separate

from nature. This state of the art facility was designed to cultivate a love

of the outdoors early in life aimed at nurturing environmentally-conscious

and sustainability-minded adults.

7group assisted the team in establishing performance targets and provided guidance on

effectively achieving project goals through an integrative design process. This process,

which began with 7group facilitating workshops, resulted in an exemplary facility that

meets the highest level of sustainable building criteria and LEED Platinum certification.

The adjacent Hort Woods provide vast play areas and are key to the user-engaged

hybrid ventilation system. The facility’s construction avoided disturbing the root system of

this only remaining old-growth arboretum on the campus while utilizing the naturally 10°

cooler woodland air for climate control. Light shelves, clerestory windows and skylights

allow daylight to permeate spaces, significantly reducing artificial light use while limiting

harsh direct summer rays that impact thermal comfort. These strategies reduce energy

consumption dramatically; projected annual energy savings are over 43%. Rainwater

harvesting, coupled with dual-flush toilets and low-flow/child-sized plumbing fixtures,

supplies 100% of flush-water demand, saving nearly 123,000 gallons of potable water

annually. This system also provides educational and play opportunities by capturing

rainwater that fills a dry stream meandering through the playground before returning to

the woods and by providing irrigation for the rooftop garden plants that are used by the

center’s kitchen. The sustainable and locally-sourced materials used throughout further

remove the barriers between the inside and the outdoors. Animal tracks printed in tinted

concrete floors, rock paths continued into interior slate flooring, tree canopies mimicked

by wood trusses and aspen fiber ceilings, and safety guardrails transformed into nature

walks by translucent resin panels embedded with real grasses are just a few features that

strengthen indoor/outdoor connectivity and biophilia in this remarkable facility.

Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems Headquarters Building The Syracuse Center of Excellence (CoE) in Environmental and Energy

Systems engages collaborators from over 200 institutions to address

worldwide challenges in clean and renewable energy, indoor

environmental quality (IEQ), and water resources. CoE members

conduct targeted research, exhibit new technologies, commercialize

innovations and provide education.

This new research facility and headquarters building achieved LEED Platinum

certification and serves to seed a major urban revitalization effort taking place in a

severely contaminated brownfield quarter of Syracuse, NY, on a site that was previously

uninhabitable, and it showcases new technologies developed by CoE partners. Major

research covers such topical issues as promoting bio fuels, assessing long-term urban

air quality and air flow in Syracuse via a new 150-foot Urban Ecosystem Observatory

tower, and analyzing how outside air conditions affect indoor air quality and human

performance.

The Syracuse CoE was designed to serve as a demonstration of global environmental

solutions, and to this end intensive sustainability consulting services were employed.

Critical services provided by 7group included serving as the project’s LEED consultant,

facilitating LEED and design charrettes, providing critical review of technical analysis

reports, and serving as peer reviewer for the technical modelers performing energy,

thermal envelope, and daylighting analyses. Sustainable features include extensive

vegetated roof areas designed for future installation of photovoltaic (PV) panels, building-

scale wind turbines, and rooftop HVAC units; a 20 kW PV array; copious daylighting for

laboratories and offices; underfloor air distribution; the use of computational fluid

dynamics to assist building envelope design; ceiling-mounted radiant panels efficiently

heat the building; and other measures reduce annual energy consumption by over 40%.

West Chester University School of Music and Performing Arts CenterThe School of Music and Performing Arts Center (SOMPAC) at West

Chester University was designed and constructed as a larger and more

sustainable performance center replacing the 1950s era Swope

Hall.7group served as the LEED, energy, and daylighting design

consultant for this new performing arts and academic building, which

attained LEED Silver certification in July 2010. SOMPAC is a musical,

theatrical and dance facility for students, and the local and regional

community, and is becoming known as a major public performance

venue for the area.

In preparation for design, sustainability concepts considered included site permeability,

building orientation and daylighting. Below-grade springs and a disturbed natural

underground drainage system caused a high water table, which was addressed during

design: the existing parking lot was replaced with native plant species to effectively

manage site water levels, and an adjacent parking lot was engineered with a seepage

bed drainage system connected to an onsite detainage basin. Orientation was crucial in

managing both light and temperature levels in the building; a narrow east-west oriented

structure was preferred due to the potential passive solar possibilities. Reflective roofing

(white Energy Star membrane on rigid insulation) lessened the burden on the cooling

system, and geothermal heating and cooling have further reduced energy consumption.

Acoustics and other performance demands remained top priorities during construction.

Insulated concrete forms (ICFs), which impart exceptional insulation values to the

building envelope, keep an even humidity level for the preservation of over 100 Steinway

pianos. Wide corridors, oversized elevators and large doorways accommodate large

musical instruments, theatrical scenes, and the building’s performance-specific needs.
