University of Texas at Dallas Founders Hall Renovation and Addition
The University of Texas System identified an urgent need to upgrade an original building on its Dallas campus - The Founders Building, a 106,000 sf structure built in the 1960s. The University set programming objectives for an adaptive reuse of this existing wet lab facility. The Universitys operational goals were to maximize use of space in a building that had limited efficiency because central utility corridors occupied each floor, and to transform the building into a student/faculty hub for undergraduate teaching. The new design developed new HVAC systems on the roof that feeds through the building, thereby
eliminating utility corridors on the floors and maximizing available classroom space. The design enhanced the buildings appearance with a new entry connection to the east, which provided new student gathering spaces that overlook the building entry and the mall. The project also provided new classroom space, faculty office suites, computer laboratories, and general physics teaching laboratories in a totally new environment. The exterior is further enhanced by the use of multi-color LED lighting which is used to announce campus events and sports victories.

Dallas Community College North Lake South Campus
Dallas County Community College District desired to expand its North Lake College campus with a satellite facility, entitled the South Campus. This expansion provides convenient entry-level classes in the area of the City of Irving which was previously underserved. The building contains classrooms, computer and science labs, a GED testing suite, library, and bookstore along with administrative offices. Additionally, a large multipurpose room serves as either a lecture space or as a community event space. The site was a particularly unique feature of this project. The original property was bisected by a stream and contained an abandoned shop-
ping center and parking lot. Demolition of these items, along with the enhancement of the existing stream and design of additional green space, not only added value to the space but is now more visually appealing. A master plan of the site was created for this expansion of the college which envisions a second and third academic building in the future.

University of North Texas Health Science Center Patient Care Center
The six - story Patient Care Center is part of the educational outreach of the University of North Texas Health Science Center. The clinic provides an on-campus educational resource for the universitys medical students and staff. The facility features patient exam rooms, blood labs, faculty offices, and student educational spaces. The facility was designed to conform with campus architectural standards of the time. Precast concrete carries on the expression similar to the adjacent library and education buildings. Mirrored glass block helped screen the waiting rooms from the harsh west sun. Vertical fins provide additional fenestration shading on the other exposures
and aided in creating a notion of scale or relief to the facade. The sloping site allowed limited parking under the east face of the building

Baylor University Master Plan
Size 428 acres Building Area 3,000,000 s.f. Completion Date 2002
The 428 acre main campus on the Brazos River accommodated 12,000 students at the time of the study. The 2002 master plan included a detailed inventory of approximately 3,000,000 SF of university buildings, a land acquisition plan and detailed master plan with recommendations regarding building sites, land use, vehicular circulation and parking,pedestrian circulation, open space, landscape development, phasing, architectural design guidelines, graphics, and signage. In 2007, Baylor University desired to update the 2002 Master Plan and Planning Initiatives for the future of the University. As in the 2002 Plan prepared by the same team, the update will address
the Universitys planning and growth goals by building on the existing 2002 Plan and its physical framework systems. The framework systems include development patterns, open space, pedestrian and vehicular circulation, parking, service, utilities, and campus architecture. Each of the systems are evaluated with respect to each other and their effect on campus appearance and functionality.

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Bryan Williams, M.D. Student Center
The 45,400 square foot facility adds a new component to the campus of this prominent medical center. Built strictly using donated funds, the Student Services Building includes a gym, elevated jogging track, aerobics, fitness and multipurpose space. The facility adjoins the original recreation facility for the campus. The two facilities open to each other to maximize the utilization of the facilities. The Student Center works with the steep grade changes of the site. The gym floor sits on the lower grade while the track is close to the elevation of the main entry. The locker rooms were located on the lower floor to accommodate future phase
outdoor swimming and recreation facilities. Expansive bay windows provide ample exterior views and nighttime character. The window form adds to the articulation and scale of the facades.

Texas Tech University Livermore Center Renovation, College of Engineering
The Livermore Auditorium renovation serves two important function on the Texas Tech campus. The renovated and re-purposed facility cleared away old warehouse functions and in order to accommodate new auditorium lecture, lounge, and classroom facilities for the Engineering Department. Labs were created on a new second floor. Where possible, existing interior brick walls were left exposed to reveal elements of the original character. In addition, the renovation addressed the extremely plain brick building which does not have the character of the Spanish Renaissance architecture prominent on the campus. New cast stone fenestration and entries were de-
signed to tie in with the campus style and give the building a new character. A design master plan was developed to explore expansion of the building and the development of a new addition adjacent to the Livermore Center.

University of Texas at Arlington Studio Arts Center
The University of Texas at Arlington Arts Annex accommodates six studios for the Art Department, including Glass, Ceramics, Painting, Print making, Sculpture, and Metals along with common spaces for critique and display. The project process included meeting with all faculty and staff to develop a program and assist with planning the relocation of the several departments from the main campus to the new center. The design takes the form of a group of new preengineered buildings arranged around a shared courtyard on the industrial western edge of the campus. Floor plans are simple and flexible. Exterior patios allow for industrial activities adjacent to
the studio. The central courtyard allows sculpture installations and allows natural light to surround the center. The pre-engineered structures were desired by the campus to allow quick and economical construction.

Lorenzo De Zavala Middle School, Irving ISD
The twenty-one acre site for this new campus presented two principal challenges. First, a Federally certified Wetland and Waters of the United States flow through the center of the site, and second, the grade rises over one full story toward the south. The design team worked with the Corps of Engineers to preserve the wetlands, and incorporate the natural grade changes. Overlooking the wetlands, the school allows the natural heart of the site to form an integral part of the childrens education. The school was designed to incorporate the team concept of teaching using pods of classrooms. Each pod contains four classrooms, a science classroom, and dedicated locker vestibules and a Commons classroom that functions as a
computer lab. Six pods are located on each of two levels, allowing separation by grade level. A circulation spine borders the pods with expansive views to the wetlands. A one story building on the southern portion of the site serves as the public entry. It houses the cafeteria, media center, administration, and arts/music classrooms, and is connected to the classroom building by an enclosed bridge spanning the wetlands. The gymnasium and locker rooms are in a third building terminating the north end of the spine.

The Lamplighter School Facility Study
Completion Date 2010
The Lamplighter School is a highly respected private school in Dallas, Texas. The original plan was developed by Architect ONeil Ford and features low height, small scale buildings, classroom pods, and a connection to nature and landscape. The school features two unusual features which are very important to the school: a barn and animal pen for a cow, pigs, and chickens, and a reading well in each classroom where kids and teacher sit together in a tiered depression to read and discuss material. The Facility Study explored existing facility capacities and how the classrooms and/or number
of classrooms could expand to accommodate additional students in a manner sympathetic to the original plan. The study prepared site and plan drawings to illustrate design options. In addition, charts and graphs were created to communicate quantitative data.

Stonebriar Community Church Master Plan, Sanctuary and Phase II Childrens Building
Stonebriar Church is a fast growing community in Frisco, Texas. A new 3,000-seat worship center is organized around an atrium and fellowship space where the congregation can gather before and after worship. Designed in the Romanesque style, the fundamental concept of the design is of a contemporary church that conveys the character and feeling of more traditional churches. Despite the size of the facility, traditional forms and details such as gabled roofs, arched windows, and stone accents provide a sense of scale and character often missing in large-scale theater style churches. Wide corridors, conducive to both circulation and gathering, support the addition and allow for
future expansion along a generous central concourse. Additional surface parking was designed to support the expansion.
The second phase, 2-story 60,000 sf childrens education building features 12 Nursery rooms, 19 Early Childhood rooms, an Indoor Play area, a central assembly space, a new playground, electronic check-in service hubs and a separate suite to serve children with special needs.

Lovers Lane United Methodist Church Shipp Chapel and Hospitality Corridor Addition
The Lovers Lane United Methodist Campus consists of modern style buildings grouped around a central courtyard. Several separate components modernized and improved the campus. The centerpiece of the project was a new hospitality corridor which serves as a gathering space for the congregation and a connector to various buildings. Alcoves for seating and display open onto gardens, with a central gathering space located across from the Sanctuary. A new administrative office suite was relocated above the hospitality corridor, allowing room for the expansion of the nursery, childrens education and adult Sunday School classes. The Sanctuary renovation included several improvements, including sightline modifications
to the Chancel and Pulpit, improved lighting and sound, and the installation of a new video system for Image Magnification. On the north end of the hospitality corridor is the new Shipp Chapel. Designed to seat about 300 people, the chapel was designed for both music and worship. Key features include a new pipe organ and stained glass windows. The entrance to the Shipp Chapel opens onto the Shepherds Memorial Garden, providing space for meditation, outdoor gathering, and a Columbarium.

COUNSELOR
The Episcopal Church of the Incarnation is a very traditional neo-gothic church in Dallas, Texas. The campus is nearly ninety years old and characterized by brick and cast-stone tracery and arches. The church needed additional education, music, and administration space. Furthermore, brides needed a covered path to the front of the church to facilitate weddings. The addition is small but provided additional space and elevated the character of some older, flatroofed buildings which did not maintain the gothic style of the church. The addition wrapped around the east facade and a new slate roof and parapet was developed over the existing structure.
Interior renovations incorporated the gothic style in the interior and erased signs of dated and tired renovations from the early 70s. The new arcade springs from the character of the existing church. Highly detailed and decorative arches connect an existing church entrance to a newly created opening at the church narthex.

Preston Road Church of Christ Master Plan and Addition
Preston Road Church of Christ acquired an adjacent property and desired a new campus master plan which connected a new Family Life Center to the existing facilities. After meeting and planning meetings the master plan included a space utilization study of existing spaces, and space program for expected growth, traffic and parking analysis. The Family Life Center expansion expands the church facilities to the north. The addition includes a multi-purpose fellowship hall and a kitchen opening onto a new two story commons that becomes the central circulation point for the church. Also in the new program are spaces for preschool, elementary, and youth. The key space
of the new addition is the central spine. The vaulted two-story space creates a new gathering space for the church community - a place to share coffee, greetings, and conversations. The exterior design complements the existing facility. A corner tower marks the intersection and announces the once hidden church to the community.

Munger Place Church
Size 24,000 sf (Renovation) Construction Cost $4,500,000 Completion Date 2010
Munger Place is both old and new. While the Munger Place Church building is approaching 100 years old, a local church wished to create a new church experience focused on community and music. Renovations were needed before new elements could be introduced to bring the church back to life. The client did not want a sanitized new church. Keeping a sense of age and character was important. Careful and select renovations restored the facility. Elsewhere, casework and paneling were re-purposed to create coffee bars and new hall counters. Aged plexiglass was removed from the beautiful stained glass to allow the beautiful light
to again enter the sanctuary. New administrative and childrens facilities were created in the bottom floor. Suspended lighting trusses and linear array speakers bring a contemporary but function edge to the space. A new rear projection screen was created within the organ chamber. Accessibility issues were addressed in the renovation.

First United Methodist Church of Allen Master Plan and Education and Narthex Addition
The project consisted of a two-story Childrens Education wing addition with preschool classrooms on the first level and elementary classrooms clustered around an open meeting area with a small stage on the second level. The plan also includes a new Gathering Space that serves the existing Sanctuary as a narthex on the first level and contains an 800 square foot meeting room and prayer chapel on the second level. The focal point of the Gathering Space is a labyrinth, a 40-foot diameter circular pattern, which is cast into the floor using a variety of colors of epoxy terrazzo. Carefully integrated into the architectural design, the labyrinth is a symbol of ones spiritu-
al journey and a prelude to worship. During the week the labyrinth is a popular place of meditation for church members and visitors alike. On Sunday, the space is used for community functions including tables and displays for various church missions.

Size 43,000 sf Construction Cost $9,000,000 Completion Date 2012 est.
The project started with a phased master plan for this traditional Catholic Community. The design team worked closely with the Pastor, planning committees, and nearly 20 parish organizations to define the vision for the Community and develop a plan for improvement and growth. Key to the success of the master plan was the careful coordination between the needs of the Parish and those of the School. Although one entity, they have separate needs. The master plan developed plans to give the School greater identity, security, and space while allowing growth and greater identity for the Catholic Community or Parish functions. After completion of the master plan and initial fund-raising, work began on the
design of the first phase as envisioned in the master plan. The Parish Community Center is currently under construction and will feature youth spaces, work out facilities, meeting rooms, and a two-court gym with locker rooms.

University Park United Methodist Church Multi-Purpose Addition and Renovation
Starting with a comprehensive, phased master plan, the design team worked closely with the Pastor and planning committees, to define the vision for the Community and develop a plan for improvement and growth. The master plan focused on current utilization of the existing facilities, the capacities of the facilities, and methods of growth. The first design phase included renovations to the childrens Sunday and Weekday School classrooms. The second phase included additional renovations and a new addition. The addition will contain a new entry and two-story gathering space, welcome desk, childrens facilities, and a multi-purpose worship / gym room.
The exterior design is equally important. To tie with the character of the campus and the desires of the client, a Georgian style was employed. Cast stone and specialized brick patterns (Flemish garden bond) unite the new addition to the existing buildings.

La Chiesa San Massimiliano Kolbe di Varese
S.M. Kolbe is a parish in Varese, Italy, a small city south of Lugano, Switzerland. The church complex contains facilities for the entire parish and includes fellowship, education, sports, and worship for 500. The church is expressed as a semicircular dome with arms partially extended around a freely shaped welcoming courtyard. The hemispherical structure is made of wood glulam and covered with a white glossy ceramic shell on the exterior. Wood beams and deck remain exposed on the interior. The dome is lifted on short columns and appears to float above a surrounding pond of water. The adjoining parish facilities are located on axis with the back entrance and altar. This axis serves
for the entry of the celebrants past the community and toward the altar. Within the courtyard, one sees the belfry and has a connection with the small chapel.

An old cartoon shows a painter painting himself into a corner. Left with no exit, the painter paints a door and leaves the room...Unfortunately, construction is less forgiving. The best projects have a vision for growth, change, and optimal utilization for years to come. Master planning is a process by which the needs and wants of a client can be contemplated over time before construction. Spaces can be right sized and buildings correctly located before expensive drawings are commissioned or dirt turned. The best master plans are a tremendous value. When construction costs can exceed $200 per square foot, the master plan can pay for itself by
identifying just a few spaces not to build. Lastly, experience has shown that master plans are a very good method for a client to develop staff or stakeholder support and consensus building prior to fund raising or initiating the ultimate project.

Insight For Living Headquarters
Insight for Living Incorporated is the broadcast and communication ministry of Pastor Chuck Swindoll and his wife Cynthia. Following completion of Stonebriar Church, the Swindolls desired to move their ministrys headquarters closer to the church. The new headquarters would support administrative, production, and support staff, recording studios, video support and production facilities, meeting and gathering rooms, and short-term apartments. The project began by developing planned development documents to create a site adjacent to the church. Floor plans and exterior character were developed after very close consultation with the client. A Mediterranean style was selected to
complement the adjacent church and the character demands required by the city. Arches, clay tile roofs, and distressed stucco and stone would establish the traditional image. The site required careful attention to storm water management. To accommodate expected water retention, half the site water would be stored underground. The other half of the water would be diverted to an ornamental pond at the corner of the site adjacent to a major city intersection. The exterior design was developed in conjunction with Fusch Architects.

Haltom City Public Library
Size 30,000 sf Construction Cost $6,000,000 Completion Date 2007 Additional Library Experience Brownsville Public Library Coppell Public Library National Library of Kuwait Kuwait University Jaber Al-Ahmed Library
Haltom City is a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas. As part of a plan to upgrade the citys image and facilities, a new library was needed to replace an outdated and undersized facility. While most city facilities have a traditional character, the city desired that the new library appear more contemporary to conform with a new planned development adjacent to the librarys site. The design was challenged by a freight rail line in close proximity to the site. To mitigate the train and horn noise and the harsh west sun a bar of service, staff, and meeting rooms was created as a buffer to the main library space. The building and interior spaces are defined by
two large sloping monitors. The north elevation has an extensive amount of glass to allow plentiful daylight and allow for views to a planned park.

Senior Center at Frisco Square
The citys original senior center no longer met the needs of its visitors. Programming meetings and tours of other centers led to an economical design which conformed with the strict architectural expression mandated within the Frisco Square development. Meeting rooms, a lounge space, fitness space and a kitchen help to make this an exciting building for the City of Frisco. The interior design is traditional, with stained wood accents of wood crown molds and chair rails. The exterior features detailed brick patterns, cast-stone arches, awnings, finals, and other details to tie to the overall development and the desires of the seniors.
In addition to the design of this facility, the project included master planning of a 3.5 acre site for the Senior Center and its future expansion.

Exxon Endangered Tiger Habitat and Southeast Asia Primate Exhibit, Dallas Zoo
Size 3 acres Construction Cost $4,400,000 Completion Date 1999
The Exxon Tiger Exhibit: Tigers of Southeast Asia is a 2 acre valley site featuring Indo-Chinese and Sumatran Tiger habitats in a rotation concept. The site offers the zoo outstanding opportunities to devote focused attention on tiger conservation and breeding of these endangered species. The design approach was to concentrate the major viewing from a Thai-themed viewing structure within the heavily forested jungle bowl, spanning the center of the tigers habitat. The visitors journey along a meandering trail crossing streams with multiple views through bamboo groves and blinds. The trail provides chance encounters and discovery events to understand the behavior and situation of tigers in the wild. The dramatic peak
of the experience places the visitors within the center of the Tiger Habitat. The primary tiger holding occurs in a separate structure off-exhibit and under the Thai houses. Directly adjacent to the tiger exhibit is a new primate exhibit. Large steel structures were developed to allow a comfortable enclosure and allow viewing by the public. Existing structures were reused and re-purposed for off-exhibit primate housing. The project was developed in conjunction with Ursa International.

Northpark Central Oce Building Renovation
The 20-story office building across from Northpark Mall needed new life and desired a class A image: the lobby was dated and poorly oriented to the street, the parking garage ingress and egress cutoff the lobby entrance from pedestrians, and the identity or character to the street and block was poor. The winning design of a competition, the design addresses the various deficiencies but re-routing car and service access on the site, carving out a new lobby entrance, and creating a focal entrance and identity wall for passersby. Lastly, accessibility issues were addressed throughout the building and site.
One of the more interesting aspects of the project occurred before construction. To prepare the building for the project, a chalk pastel mural was drawn on site to represent the view and configuration of the lobby to come.
