1. Phases of Planning and Design Jim Swartz--Grinnell College Zibby Ericson--Kahler Slater With thanks to: Art Lidsky--Dober, Lidsky Craig and Associates

2. Step One: List of Needs and Wants

3. Step One: Design Something

4. A Vision for the Future conceive, envision, imagine the best learning experiences for your students A description of what you want your institution to be like in fifteen to twenty years

5. “You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there.” Yogi Berra

6. Comprehensive Planning Academics Finances Strategic Planning Campus & Facilities

7. BEGINNING STEPS MISSION & VISION ACADEMIC/STRATEGIC PLAN CURRICULUM PEDAGOGY Institutional & Departmental Programmatic Context

8. Mission Vision Values Academic Plan Campus & Facility Planning Campus Plan Facility Plans & Feasibility Facility Program Architectural Design Construction/Renovation

9. Phases of Planning and Designing Facility • Once the institutional context is established, planning and design of a facility (new or renovation) can begin • The first phase of that process needs to be a careful articulation of the problem. • The next phases are to develop a design to solve the problem.

10. Programming Clearly Define the Problem

11. FACILITY PROGRAM Curriculum & Pedagogy, Teaching & Research Vision and Intent Summary of Required Space Site Location Space Relationship Diagrams Detailed Description of Each Space Approach to Sustainability

12. Programming • Design objectives and limitations, including sustainability • Space requirements • Adjacency requirements • Design criteria for structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and laboratory furnishings systems • Laboratory equipment and related service requirements • Preliminary planning diagram for each laboratory and laboratory support room • Flexibility requirements • Statement of Probable Construction Cost based upon unit cost per square foot estimates

13. FACILITY PROGRAM Facility Programming Process Must be Participatory Should be Used to Build Consensus It provides a forum to discuss departmental and discipline interaction, teaching, learning, and research. Essential for Architectural Design

14. Programming Documents

18. Conceptual Design Develop, Review, and Select a General Approach to the Problem

25. Schematic Design Putting the Puzzle Together

26. Schematic Design • Design of laboratory planning module and building configuration • Preliminary design of laboratories and laboratory support areas, identifying location of laboratory fume hoods and biological safety cabinets, casework and benchtops, fixtures, equipment, and controlled environment rooms. • Identification of and outline specifications for systems and materials incorporating sustainability criteria • Update of Statement of Probable Construction Cost

27. Design Development Design the Spaces

28. Design Development • Detailed design layouts of laboratories and laboratory support areas, identifying location of laboratory furnishings and equipment including service requirements for each with service fittings, electrical panels and raceways, communication systems, and mechanical and plumbing requirements clearly identified • Specifications for systems and materials • Update of Statement of Probable Construction Cost

29. Construction Documents Convert the Design From Something That You Can Understand to Something Only a Contractor Can Appreciate

30. Drawings and specifications for bidding and construction Final cost estimate Construction Documents
