Project Description
The UIUC tentative facility improvement project addressed by the UIUC Board of Trustees
seeks to enhance education, research and student lives on campus. As requested, this
construction project is composed of multiple buildings and subprojects divided into two phases,
as follows:
Phase 1:
Building 1: A new instructional facility west of the Grainger Library
Building 2: A new campus activities and recreational (ARC) to replace the existing Kenny Gym
Building 3: Remodeling of the University Laboratory High School and new east wing is added
to the existing buildings
Subproject 1:
Underpass along Springfield Avenue
Phase 2:
Building 4: An integrated research center
Building 5: A new UIUC medical school
Subproject 2:
Underpass between the research center and the medical school
This project includes preparation of design, detailed shop drawings, material supply and final
implementation of the project. Building one (1) to three (3) commence simultaneously, while
Subproject one (1) begins in the midway of the project schedule. Building four (4) and five (5)
begin simultaneously with Subproject two (2) once Phase one (1) is completed. Details will be
discussed in Section: General Deployment of Construction and a project overall schedule is
attached.
As requested by the UIUC Board of Trustees, a conceptual design of the underground pathway
connecting between the integrated research center and the new UIUC medical school is
proposed to accommodate the human traffic between the two facilities and to create academic
collaboration and communication.
All designs comply with the UIUC regulations for proposed projects to be LEED certified and
emphasized on environmentally friendly, thus ensuring that sustainability of the overall building
and its surrounding environment are met.

12
Historical Background
This project involves of replacing the exiting Kenny Gym by a new campus ARC. The Kenny
Gym represents over a century of exercise tradition at the UIUC. The Kenny Gym was
originally named the “Men’s New Gymnasium” and experienced a few change to its name. The
Kenny Gym has a rich historical background and value. It was listed in the National Register of
Historic Places in 1986.

Historical Facilities’ Deficiencies
To comply the concept of enhancing student lives on campus, the Kenny Gym will be
demolished and a brand new ARC center – The Northern Activity & Health Center (NAHC) will
be built. This is concluded to be the most optimal solution considering the existing aesthetics
of the structure, mechanical, electrical and plumping (MEP) and potential health and safety
issues exposed to the students and users. The Kenny Gym will be redeveloped to upgrade the
existing features and equipment. However, the new sports center will assemble the old Kenny
Gym exterior façade by using new brick with steel framing to reserve the historical outlook of
the Kenny Gym.

Expected Outcome
Project work includes the construction of five (5) tentative facilities. The whole project will be
completed in fifty-one (51) months, over 4 years. It is expected the total project would cost two
hundred eleven millions.

13
Main concept
The main design concept for the project is to create an environment that leverages the
educational process in the University of Illinois through modern and collaborative classrooms,
enhance research through state of the art research facilities, and creates harmony and
cooperation within students’ life. Since the project will serve as an attraction point within
university of Illinois around the year a steady profit could be generated from several elements
of the project, while respecting the privacy and particularity of the educational process.
Existing site
The land under development is located in the Engineering section of UIUC campus,
surrounded by East University Avenue, South Wright Street, West Springfield Avenue and
North Harvey Street. Total area from all projects is 21.5 acres (931,518 sqft).
Sustainability
All of our projects comply with the University of Illinois regulations for proposed projects
to be LEED certified. Furthermore, the facility will possess “Green” features that pushes
the sustainability of the building and the surrounding environment beyond the minimum
LEED requirements. This will result in significantly reducing materials, energy, and water
consumption, hence reducing operation and maintenance costs, and most importantly creating
a harmonized ecosystem that links users (students, faculty members, and visitors) with the
building and the natural environment and allow them to work and interact efficiently.

The new Instructional Facility will comply with the University of Illinois regulations for proposed projects to be LEED
certified. Furthermore, the facility will possess “Green” features that pushes the sustainability of the building and
the surrounding environment beyond the minimum LEED requirements. This will result in significantly reducing
materials, energy, and water consumption, hence reducing operation and maintenance costs, and most importantly
creating a harmonized ecosystem that links users (students, faculty members, and visitors) with the building and the
natural environment and allow them to work and interact efficiently.
Features of the proposed Green initiatives includes -but not limited to- the following:
1. Construction Materials:
The materials selection process for the construction of the Instructional Facility will utilize and give priority to
recycled local and regional materials that satisfies the quality and cost requirements of the design. Recycled content
could be used in many numerous elements of the building such as ceilings, walls, steel, floor tiles, and insulation.
2. Landscaping:
The adopted planting strategy will significantly reduce outdoor water use for irrigation, through reducing the irrigated
area by using plants that require no irrigation and relying on annual rainfall.
3. Indoor Water Cycle:
In addition to reduction of outdoor water use through the proposed planting strategy, indoor water use will also be
reduced by using a combination of low flow faucets, dual flush toilets, and low flow urinals, which will save tens of
thousands of gallons of water every year.
4. Energy Consumption:
The proposed design will allow the building’s frame to retain heat during the day and radiates it at night. Features
used to achieve this includes windows, radiant heat panels and extensive daylighting system which will further
decrease the building’s energy consumption by providing natural cooling and reducing the need for artificial lighting
systems.
Photovoltaic panels will be placed on the curtain wall system to generate clean energy, while providing shade to
the main hallway. Throughout the building a number of occupancy sensors will be installed in each room which will
automatically turn off lights if no movement is detected within an adjustable range of time (e.g. 10-20 minutes), thus
eliminating unnecessary energy consumption when spaces are unoccupied.
5. Light:
The Instructional Facility will benefit from ample daylight provided by the numerous windows located throughout
the building. Bringing natural light into classrooms, halls and study spaces reduces the electricity needed to power
lighting and allows users to work and study in a lighter and brighter environment. To prevent glare and unwanted
solar radiation from entering the building shading elements will be added to the building’s exterior.
6. Recycling rooms:
Recycling rooms spread over different locations within the building will allow building users to sort materials in
special containers to recycle paper, cardboard, metals, and glass.

Buidling B. Northern Activity & Health Center (NAHC)
I. Project Overview
The Northern Activity & Health Center (NAHC) will be a 107,000 square feet recreational
center in the north part of campus. The location is occupied by Kenney Gym and the project
has the mission of redevelop the current gymnasium. After analyzing the different approaches
to renovate Kenney Gym, the team concluded the most optimal solution considering aesthetics
and health issues was to demolish the current gym and build a brand new recreational facility.
The new sports center will resemble the old Kenney Gym on the exterior facade by using only
brick with steel framing. The walls will be made of bricks as well, contributing to the structural
system of the building. The columns and slabs will be made of reinforced concrete.
The basement will include a professional swimming pool with a leisure pool and a spa next to
it, as well as locker rooms.The pool will be visible from the first floor. Another element visible
from the first floor will be a set of three basketball courts.
The first floor will have several multipurpose rooms; one of them will be a rock climbing area
while another one will be a coffee place.
The second floor will have several workout areas, including a track field.
On top of the building, the roof will contain a pool and a mechanical penthouse. The pool’s
design was inspired by the pool from the first case study: Sports Centre in Leonberg.

31
II. Precedent Study
Sports Centre in Leonberg
Built originally in the 1970s, the Sports Centre was an obsolete building. It was redeveloped
in 2014 to transform dark areas into open areas and to provide natural lighting to the whole
project. The remodeled elements were the sports halls, the bathing hall, the outdoor facilities
and the sauna area.
All the glass facades were replaced.
The surfaces in the sports halls were replaced, adding LED illumination.
An elevator was added.

32
Student Recreation Center
The Student Recreation Center project in 2015 brought together two buildings: the Physical
Education building and an undersized Student Recreation building.
A Great Hall entrance was created to ease pedestrian traffic, creating the main circulation
paths in the building.
The two free-zones facilitate access to the recreation and academic venues to students.
The sustainable elements added were solar panels and natural day lighting
An existing pool was converted into a water cistern for toilets and irrigation.
These sustainable approaches gave the project a LEED Platinum certification.

Similar to the Instructional facility, the NAHC will comply with the University of Illinois regulations for proposed
projects to be LEED certified. This facility will have an excess of environmentally friendly features that pushes the
sustainability of the building and the surrounding environment in line with LEED Gold requirements. This will result
in significantly reducing materials, energy, and water consumption, hence reducing operation and maintenance
costs, and most importantly creating a harmonized ecosystem that links users (students, faculty members, and
visitors) with the building and the natural environment and allow them to work and interact efficiently.
Some of the highlights of the green initiatives for this facility include:
The materials selection process for the construction of the NAHC will utilize and give priority to recycled local and

I. Project overview
The project includes interior renovation of the existing University Laboratory High School and
the construction of new east wing connecting to the existing building, located on the land block
bordered by West Stoughton Street, North Goodwin Avenue, West Springfield Avenue, North
Matthews Ave.
The existing building will be interiorly renovated for the use of administrative offices,
classrooms and 2 art studios while preserving the façade.
The new east wing will be constructed at the same land block to replace three existing
buildings, namely UNI Gym, the Hue House and the Math House. It will be connected to the
east side of existing main building through corridors at all floors. This new wing consists of 4
stories with music facilities, classrooms, library and computer lab, a two-storey Little Krannert,
and a wide space of green roof at the third floor atop of the Little Krannert.

43
II. Precedent Study
Our design was developed based on the basic requirements from client with the study of other
university high schools’ facilities. This ensures that our design caters unique needs of every
single student, thus brings them the best support for their future development.
The university high schools under our study were listed below,
· University High School, Irvine, California (UHS Irvine)
· University High School, Fresno, California (UHS Fresno)
· University High School, Tucson, Arizona (UHS Tucson)
These are all prestigious high schools which has been consistently ranked among top high
schools in the nation for their excellent academic achievements. Thus, a study through
each school’s facilities helped us to develop our design for our University Laboratory High
School. We believe that our design will provide the best facility to groom our students’ talents.
A detailed comparison of facilities among our school and other university high schools is
tabulated as below,
The new design will significantly enhance the facility use for Music and Arts programs, which
are currently limited due to space constraints. Furthermore, Little Krannert will become a great
place for students’ performances, and hence, strengthen the school spirit and momentum.
Additional, the desire of bringing nature to students results in the inspiration of green roof
space at third floor.

Alice Tully Hall
A concert hall located within Juilliard School in Manhattan, New York City, Alice Tully Hall was
redesigned and renovated to become a premiere chamber music venue. African moabi wood
was lined around all existing halls for the acoustics benefit while maintaining an illuminous
glow effect. This made Tully Hall one of the best performance halls’ acoustics in Lincoln
Center.
Additionally, translucent customized resin panels were installed to the veneer surface to bring
a smooth blend to the wood, binding the house and stage with light. Soft pinkish LED lights
along the balcony sections and side walls provide glow shine through the slim moabi veneer.
With this, aesthetics, acoustics and lightings made a great integration into wood panels for
visual clutter removal and the creation of more inviting space. Narrow passageways lined with
dark gray felt and the floors covered with gray industrial carpeting also heightened the sensory
effect of coming into the auditorium.

45
Mosfellsbær Preparatory High School
Mosfellsbær Preperatory High School, Iceland, was an excellent design from the collaboration
of architect, landscape architect and ascoustic engineer. The green roof is well-known for its
great aesthetics and acoustic benefits. This brought Mosfellsbær a ‘very good’ score certificate
for sustainability by BREEAM, a leading environmental building assessment.
Furthermore, green roof offers outdoor activities in between the hills, between the hills and the
building and in between the building parts. It therefore brings a seamless blend of buildings
into nature, which is believed to bring unique interaction with the environment to each student,
and encourage them to outdoor activities. Hence, the design with rich choice of space
acknowledged each child as a unique individual with unique needs and desires in regards to its
environment.

46
III. Scope of works
MakiBoing’s scope of works for the University Laboratory High School include the followings,
· Concept Design
· Detailed Shop Drawings
· Material Supply
· Interior Renovation of the existing main building
· Construction and Implementation of the new east wing
IV. Logistics and Access to site
Site access
The access will be from North Goodwin Avenue. As the traffic volume on the street section
between West Stoughton Street and West Springfield Avenue is very low, the location of site
access will maintain traffic in the area. A traffic controller will be assigned to the site entrance
as and when needed to ensure smooth traffic.
Neighbor Risks
University Laboratory High School occupies the whole land block and is not adjacent to any
buildings, the neighbor risks are expected to be minimal. For safety measures, precondition
survey will be carried out prior to site possession. After the completion of works, postcondition
survey will be conducted to ensure no damages to the surrounding buildings.

47
Signage
There will be several standard signs and signage along the site hoardings, including project
information and safety compliance and encouragement. The signage design will comply with
the Contract Specifications and will be submitted to client for approval before any set up.
Temporary office
A temporary office will be set up within the site.
The renovation and construction of University Laboratory High School is planned for 27
months. Primavera P6 or equivalent tool will be used to prepare the detailed schedule,
together with fully integrated 4D BIM model, to enable a more efficient and visualized control of
the project.
At this stage the sequence and preliminary schedule of works are illustrated in the Section XIII.
Detailed schedule shall be submitted to the client for approval, prior to the commencement of

D. Handover
E. Contract Close
After the Completion of the whole of the Works and the acceptance by the client, the taking
over certificate shall be issued by the client, followed by the defect liability certificate up to
12 months from the Contract Completion date. Contract be closed and project completed
successfully.

51
Similar to the Instructional facility, the University Laboratory High School will comply with
UIUC regulations for proposed projects to be LEED certified. This facility will have an
excess of environmentally friendly features that pushes the sustainability of the building
and the surrounding environment in line with LEED Gold requirements. This will result in
significantly reducing materials, energy, and water consumption, hence reducing operation and
maintenance costs, and most importantly creating a harmonized ecosystem that links users
(students, faculty members, and visitors) with the building and the natural environment and
allow them to work and interact efficiently.
The materials selection process for the construction of the high school will utilize and give
priority to recycled local and regional materials that satisfies the quality and cost requirements
of the design. Recycled content could be used in many numerous elements of the building
such as ceilings, walls, steel, floor tiles, and insulation.
2. Landscaping:
The adopted planting strategy will significantly reduce outdoor water use for irrigation, through
reducing the irrigated area by using plants that require no irrigation and relying on annual
rainfall.
In addition to reduction of outdoor water use through the proposed planting strategy, indoor
water use will also be reduced by using a combination of low flow faucets, dual flush toilets,
and low flow urinals, which will save tens of thousands of gallons of water every year.
The proposed design will allow the building’s frame to retain heat during the day and radiates
it at night. Features used to achieve this includes windows, radiant heat panels and extensive
daylighting system which will further decrease the building’s energy consumption by providing
natural cooling and reducing the need for artificial lighting systems.
Photovoltaic panels will be placed on the curtain wall system to generate clean energy, while
providing shade to the main hallway. Throughout the building a number of occupancy sensors
will be installed in each room which will automatically turn off lights if no movement is detected
within an adjustable range of time (e.g. 10-20 minutes), thus eliminating unnecessary energy
consumption when spaces are unoccupied.

52
5. Light:
The high school will benefit from ample daylight provided by the numerous windows located
throughout the building. Bringing natural light into classrooms, halls and study spaces reduces
the electricity needed to power lighting and allows users to work and study in a lighter and
brighter environment. To prevent glare and unwanted solar radiation from entering the building
shading elements will be added to the building’s exterior.
6. Recycling rooms:
Recycling rooms spread over different locations within the building will allow building users to
sort materials in special containers to recycle paper, cardboard, metals, and glass.

Buidling D. Liang Y. Liu Research Center (LYLRC)
I. Project Overview
The LYLRC will be the first big research center on UIUC campus that will combine and gather
different research areas to one and same building. The LYLRC is located east of the center for
computer science and will be the first building for the upcoming research corridor that will take
place on Goodwin Ave. The center contains 4 floors and a basement with of a mix of laboratory
rooms, offices for researches and open spacious areas. This part will clarify the conceptual
design, schedule, cost estimation and planning that comes with the Research center.
The UIUC research building is design with the feeling for open spacious areas that bring
people together from different research areas. Each floor will provide circulation spaces which
gives an welcoming feeling. The building will have an impression of being very airy, white
many spaces open to above. Common areas are provided on every floor and are to be find
both inside and outside to adapt for the summer and winter climate. Much focus will be in the
workspace to provide a healthy working environment. For achieve that the both the laboratory
rooms and the offices will be in smaller size and fit less people, to get students to work in
peace. As the concept in the rest of the building, the laboratory rooms will be very light and
airy.
The choice of material for the interior walls is timber panels mixed with dry wall. The panels
will break of the dry walls to make to rooms more alive. To fit in at the Campus property, brick
will be used as the exterior material. But for making the building unique for UIUC and attractive
for surrounding observers, patterns will be added by twisting the bricks 90 degrees and create
a non smooth surface. To get a modern edge of the facility the bricks will be combined exposed
concrete.
Together these exterior materials will booth match the requirements from the UIUC and at the
same time give a modern touch and make the UIUC research building attractive for the eye.
To connect LYLRC with ICM there will be an underground pathway. The total area will be 2818
SF and cost in 575,000 in total.

58
II. Precedent Study
The base of the design and the functionality for the Liang Y. Liu Research Center (LYLRC)
is four different buildings. The Danish Meat Research Institute, Bosque Altozano Club House
and the two UIUC facilities, Ikenberry Dining hall and Business Instructional Facility. These
four buildings has been combined to bring out the best from each to suit the needs and
requirements for the clients. The result is a spacious research institute with a modern design,
that still have the requirements for a UIUC buildings.
Danish Meat Research Institute
The Danish Meat research Institute is designed by the danish architect firm C.F. Møller
Architects where Danish Technological Institute was the client. Today the DMRI is in the
lead, both national and international for research and innovation within meat industry. The
building is designed to fit into the already existing Danish Technological Institute buildings, and
follows the same exterior design with a modern touch by using prefabricated brick reliefs, and
incorporating bay windows.
The building is about 71,000 SF divided on 3 floors. The facility includes ultra-modern
microbiological and chemical laboratories with robotic features as well as offices and
conference rooms to meet all the needs.

59
Bosque Altozano Club House / Parque Humano - Outdoor Atrium
The Bosque Altozano Clubhouse is located in central Mexico. Constructed with a mix of
materials, steel forms the frame and is then covered with local stone and a roof that consist of
timber. The remarkable in this design is the hollowing terrace with a timber roof which gives a
panorama view feeling. The hollowing also let the light in through the glass panels and makes
the light inlet continuous all day.
This terrace is the inspire for the outdoor atrium at first floor in the research building. It will get
a cover both for the winter and summer climate and make it pleasant to be outside.
UIUC Buildings, BIF and Ikenberry - Indoor Circulation space
Ikenberry dining hall is a newly renovated building at UIUC campus. The dining hall that forms
a semi circle seats 1200 persons and still provide the airy environment without an crowded
feeling.
Business Instructional Facility, BIF, at UIUC is a 160.000 SF facility, including a big spacious
study area and other big common areas. The building was completed in 2008 and hosts
college of Business today. The interior is mainly timber, combined with the big glass curtain
walls that let the daylight in, it’s a very light building.
These two building at campus has been the bas for the open circulation areas in the research
building.

I. Project Overview
The first engineering-based Medical School is built from the start at the intersection of
engineering and medicine. The project is located at the current parking lot B22. This section
is prepared on the basis to present the idea and conceptual design outlining the approach
towards the construction of this medical school, and addressing issues relating to scheduling,
specification, planning and costing and legal contract. This medical school is proposed as
a 3 floors complex consisting both medical research laboratories, offices and classrooms.
Additional research laboratory is sited at the basement and equipped the electromechanical
systems of this facility. The medical school is designed to combine the concept of providing
students a social space for learning and to introduce a bio-climatic environment for the medical
school. The idea of green garden is introduced in the basement and at the courtyard of the first
floor. It is proposed to grow 5 medium height trees at the basement green area and 1 medium-
short height indoor plants at the courtyard of the first floor. The green garden will be extended
vertically through an open area to the top floors. Vertical louvers (fins panels) are positioned
in different angle to the exterior to enhance its aesthetic, but also featured to provide solar
shading.
45% of the interior wall are covered with timber panels to enhance its aesthetic pleasing and
overall the exterior is a mixture of brick and concrete (55% of exposed concrete) to accomplish
the exterior design specification of UIUC infrastructures. This medical school complicated high-
performance facade features to achieve a balance between of interior and exterior temperature
and aims to achieve energy efficiency via reducing the use of energy. The conceptual design
of the Illinois College of Medicine is inspired by the New Medical School Design proposed by
Miba Architects and Calderon Folch Sarsanedas Architects for the University of Cyprus.

II. Precedent Study
University of Cyprus - New Medical School Design
by Miba Architects and Calderon Folch Sarsanedas Architects
This design is proposed by Miba Architects and Calderon Folch Sarsanedas Architects for the
University of Cyprus. The concept of this new Medical School is to create a “campus within a
campus”. This design insists to create a social learning space for students and integrate the
bio-climatic as part of the facility interior environment.
The central circulation space promotes social interaction and bioclimatic regulator through the
technological systems that provides high thermal inertia.
This system consists the following key features:
Roof System: adaption of ETFE roof system to direct sunlight insides or block it with shades
Facade System: thermal clay brickwork with 16cm insulation and the exterior vertical ceramic
louvers - automated sun-shading system
Structural System: steel and laminated wood trusses for the composition of the skylight
This automated system complicates the sun-shading system and natural ventilation systems to
monitor the interior climate behaviour and achieve energy efficient.

72
UNSW Materials Science and Engineering Buildings - Exterior Facade System
Located in Sydney, this new built buildings complicated high performance facade features
including windows glazing and polished off-white fins of glass fiber reinforced concrete. The
fins are positioned at different angles to provide solar shading.
To accomplish the UNSW’s future growth and demand, there are laboratory space without any
mechanical service located at three different floor such that these rooms could be customised
for other uses in the future.
Currently, the Material Science and Engineering Buildings is serving 160 students and 140
faculty staffs and have the capacity to service an addition of 144 students and staff members.
ETFE Roof System
Ethylene Tetra Flouro Ethylene (ETFE) is a modified copolymer which is used to manufacture
foil or film for the ETFE roofs and structures. Two major designs are single layer membrane
attached with supporting cables or cushions layer formations. It offers flexibility and versatility
for the roofing systems.
The major benefit of using ETFE are as follow:
• Self-cleaning ability
• Increase natural sunlight penetration
• Excellent thermal insulation due to the the formation of ETFE in single or multilayer
cushions
• Light-weight
• High initial cost, however long life cycle and excellent durability
• High melting points and excellent chemical resistance

Proposal
Proposed as part of the UIUC future development, this underground pathway is a pedestrian
tunnel connecting The Illinois College of Medicine and Liang Y. Liu Research Center. At this
stage this proposal is not illustrated in the design drawings.
The underground pathway is set underneath the existing car park next to the Campbell Hall:
Illinois Public Media.
The concept of this underground pathway is to accommodate the human traffic travelling
between the two facilities, to engage in research and medical activities through academic
collaboration and communication. This pathway will be the key to create opportunity in learning
and knowledge sharing.
Consideration and Opportunity
To analyse the volume of the human traffic between the two facilities, thus determining the size
of the pathway
To effectively use the classrooms, lecture halls and research laboratories across the two
facilities: students, researchers and academic staffs can have access to shared facilities and
technical equipment
Underground Pathway
Connecting Illinois College of Medicine and Liang Y. Liu Research Center

Conceptual Design
The conceptual design of the underground pathway consists of different features that
incorporates in the following precedent studies:
Curving Glass Wall from Selgas Cano Architecture Office designed by Iwan Baan / Selgas
Cano
LED projections from Green Tunnel Lyon
Open space and wooden seating décor from Universalmuseum Joanneum
This design consists of the timber wall feature from the connecting buildings on one side of
the pathway and facilities, such as free lockers rental using I-Card, vending machines will be
located along the underground pathway.
Cost Estimation and Construction Schedule
It is estimated that the underground pathway will incur an additional cost of $575,000 based on
RS-mean with the facilities and features outlined in the conceptual design. The underground
pathway is estimated to be 2,818 ft2. The construction schedule of the underground pathway
is incorporated in the The Illinois College of Medicine and Liang Y. Liu Research Center.
However, the construction schedule of the underground may be streamlined and excel the
original plan since the the car part at B17 will be closed and this location will be used as the
site office, temporary utilities and material storage as part of the construction.
I. Project Overview
The crossing of Springfield Avenue between Wright and Goodwin has always had high
pedestrian traffic due to the university buildings in that area. However, the crossing is only
composed of a marked crossroad in which not all cars stop. For this reason, the team
considered to build a pedestrian underpass where the current pedestrian cross is. The
underpass will contain a coffee shop and a Qdoba restaurant. The underpass will have a steel
frame installed to create the shelter. After instalment, a concrete box will be created.
That section of Springfield Avenue will remained closed for the length of the project.
