  1. Putting the Roof of the LAC to Use Holly Johnsen, Chris Byron, Craig Weidert

  2. Goals: • So much space! • Proof of concept: how we can use this space • Classroom above the Aerobics Room • Solar Panels on the Gym

  3. Motivation • Good weather • Lack of outdoor classroom space • Satisfaction of roof instinct • Under-utilization of roof space

  4. Access, Deck, Railing • Ideal classroom location! • Access provided through the Riggs room • Plastic deck from recycled plastic • Footings over structural strong points • Allows for use of existing drainage system • Railing • Will match trim on rest of LAC

  5. Shade and Lighting • Canopy retracts underneath eave • Laid out in strips for easy maintenance / replacement • Staggered for shade coverage and ventilation • Track lighting under eave • Lighting on railing extension • Some lighting may be pointed up at the canopy for diffuse lighting

  6. Classroom and Furniture • Wall mounted whiteboards under the eave • Portable whiteboards may be stored indoors • Ergonomic chairs and desks • Durable outdoor material • Sized to be modular and facilitate group work http://www.rg3.com/

  7. Flowers and Aesthetics • Shallow flower boxes on top of the roof overhang • Colorful Southern California native plants • Watered with a drip line from existing plumbing in Riggs/Baker room • Built off of the ground to provide for drainage

  8. Solar Panel Motivation and Layout • 300+ days of sunshine per year • Successful small scale solar panels on Case Dorm • Puts energy back onto the grid • Rows of panels on “A” frames on gym roof

  9. LEED and Master Plan • Heat island reduction • Increases renewable energy • Re-adaptive use of existing space • Use of recycled materials • Native plants • Provides an attractive meeting place to promote campus community • Increases quality of student life
