The guidelines and programming requirements for this project were provided by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ASCA) design competition. Located on Salt River Bay, St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, this competition was to design a sustainable marine research lab and community outreach center for the Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve.

Requirements included special attention to be given to passive and sustainable design strategies and site placement.

SOLAR RADIATION AND CLOUD COVERThe solar radiation on site is relatively high, averaging 5.4 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day, with only 40 percent average annual cloud cover.

Figure 1 shows the sun path of the site, the part boundary, 100 year floodplain, and an archeological zone on the site.

HUMIDITY The relative humidity in St. Croix also has fairly limited seasonal variation, averaging approximately 70 percent and generally staying between a low of about 60 percent and a high of 90 percent.

WINDThe wind rose diagram in Figure 2 plots the annual frequency of wind speed and direction, with the prevailing winds predominantly from the east and southeast with velocities commonly in the range of 3 to 6 meters per second.

The curtain system is recessed behind the main structural trusses providing a space for the public to experience the tectonics of the building and glimpse into research areas below.

The structural solution to accommodate the aspect of interlocking prisms was based on a series of truss systems. Two main vertical trusses and a horizontal roof system allow for a column free interior of the building. This provides a very flexible programmable interior.

The building touches the ground in an elegant manner through a system of secondary trusses and concrete fins. West Elevation

INNOVATION PARK / FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY SOUTHWEST CAMPUS MASTER PLAN REDEVELOPMENT & ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNSDESIGN 5.1

7

This project is was broken up into two sections. An initial contextual study was done of the existing Innovation Park and Florida State University Southwest Campus conditions. From that, a new master plan was developed to incorporate both institutions more cohesively. This proposed a new street and block network, buildings, parks, town and community centers, and phasing plan. The plan includes multiple building types including mixed use, R+D / education, and housing

The second part of the project focused on designing in detail one of the buildings in the new master plan. An architectural design was developed focusing on high performance and sustainable building strategies as well as studying mechanical, electrical, water, and other building systems.

The main idea of this plan was to develop a more cohesive urban fabric providing pedestrian circulation throughout the campus using connection points provided by parks and town centers, while paying special attention to sustainable design strategies.

The following is the architectural design for a five story, 202,500GSF mixed use building to be located on the new Innovation Park campus. This building design incorporates a café, print shop, retail space, indoor commons, and e-research rooms on the ground floor, with classrooms, offices, and conference centers on the top four floors.

Sustainable / Green systems are incorporated throughout the building design that include building orientation, water reclamation and treatment, and passive solar strategies.

The building’s glazing screen was inspire by the scales of an alligator. The scales on an alligator’s back are much harder to protect them, while the ones on its stomach are much softer. This is a direct analogy to sustainable solar orientation. The southern facing areas exposed to direct sunlight need heavy protection, while the northern glazing does not. The panels on the south are perforated metal that filter much of the direct sunlight. The panels on the north are simply a metal screen that are quite transparent and still allow external views.
