Project Background

The University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign is a public research-intensive

university in the U.S. state of Illinois. As a land-grant university, it is the flagship

campus of the University of Illinois system. The University of Illinois at Urbana–

Champaign (founded, 1867) is the second oldest public university in the state and is

a founding member of the Big Ten Conference. The university comprises 17 colleges

that offer more than 150 programs of study.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is a jewel in the crown of

the University, and has been ranked among the top throughout the world. The

Nathan M. Newmark Civil Engineering Laboratory, or Newmark Lab, located at 205

N. Mathews Avenue in Urbana, Illinois on the campus of the University of Illinois at

Urbana-Champaign, houses the university's Department of Civil and Environmental

Engineering. The Lab was built in 1967, and has been modified and updated a

number of times since then. The building consists of classrooms and offices

surrounding a large open area called the crane bay for large scale experiments,

including those of the Newmark Structural Engineering Lab (NSEL).

In 2011, the M. T. Geoffrey Yeh Student Center was added to the building. It is a

20,500-square-foot addition to Newmark Civil Engineering Laboratory and provides

state-of-the-art classrooms, meeting rooms and informal gathering space for the

department’s 1,300 students.

The growing reputation of CEE Department is attracting students from all over the

globe, and there is an urgent requirement for additional space to accommodate the

ever expanding student body. Thus, the Department of Civil and Environmental

Engineering is considering to undertake the expansion of existing Newmark Lab and

Yeh Center. BIMplement INC is invited to make a Design Build Proposal for the new

expansion, dubbed as - The Newmark Civil Engineering Lab Renovation and

Expansion Project III.

Project Requirements

A complete site analysis was done using visual observation and research aids, and

then a series of meetings were conducted with various stakeholders in the project

including students, alumni, faculties and UI-F&S planning staff and reviewers.

Various needs, requirements and goals of the proposed project were discussed with

them to get a general overview of what is expected to be delivered through the

design, construction and facility management of the new expansion project.

Based on the inputs from visual observations, site visits and stakeholder meetings

our team was able to come up with the following list if requirements that have to be

meet while undertaking the project: -

Project should aim at high level of sustainability using latest technology, and

at the same time preserve the history of Newmark Civil Engineering Lab by

mingling perfectly with the current building of the CEE Department.

Space Requirements: -

o Seminar Seating Type Classrooms

o State of the art Research Labs

o Offices and Administrations Spaces

o New Student Collaboration Space

o New Coffee Shop/Kitchenette

o General Use Facilities

o Support Facilities etc.

Owner Project Requirements states creation of additional 80,000 sqft state of

the art space to current Newmark Lab and Yeh Center

8 | P a g e

Issues and Concerns

Location of project site amidst the busy North Campus of University of Illinois is one

of the concerns that significantly affect the planning and scheduling of construction

activities. This poses safety concerns and will also affect the project schedule.

Construction has to be judiciously planned to ensure safe and timely completion of

project.

Figure 1 - Project location amongst busy North Campus of UIUC

University of Illinois and the Department of Civil and Environmental engineering

has a rich architectural history, and thus, the new expansion should be in-line with

these established principles.

University of Illinois Urbana Champaign’s Illinois Climate Action Plan aims at

creating a carbon neutral campus by 2050 and as such incorporation of green and

sustainable techniques becomes imperative. These efforts will save money in long

run, but also require a significant upfront investment. Given the uncertain fiscal

situations of both the State of Illinois and the University, it becomes essential to

weigh the cost and benefits of such sustainability and green solutions.

9 | P a g e

Newmark Lab and Yeh Center are not properly connected to each other, and going

from one part of the building to other often requires to take long detours. There is

also a shortage of faculty office spaces, RA/TA office spaces, research labs etc. Thus,

these issue also need to be kept under consideration while designing the new

extension building.

Missing Cafeteria and additional student collaboration spaces has also been missing

in the current Newmark Lab and Yeh Center buildings, so, the design considerations

should involve adding new cafeteria and student collaboration spaces.

10 | P a g e

Construction Management Plan

BIMplement INC. has developed a detailed construction management plan to ensure

timely, safe and successful completion of the project. The site is located amidst the

busy North Campus of UIUC surrounded by Hydro-Systems Lab and Coordinated

Science Lab on North; Digital Computer Lab on South; Thomas M. Siebel Center for

Computer Science on East; and Micro and Nanotech Lab, ECE Building, and the social

interaction space of Oval Alee (The Spoon) on the West. This presents some unique

challenges for construction of this project as our site will be constantly surrounded

by students, faculty and staff using these buildings on all sides. The proposed

expansion project is in proximity with the current operational entrance that is used

by students and staff to enter and egress from Yeh Center and Newmark Lab. Thus,

the construction activities are planned so as to cause minimum disruption to

movement in and out of the building. The project construction area is divided into

two priority areas: -

Priority Area A: - This area is adjacent to the current entrance and thus the

work in this area will be taken as the first priority, and as such we aim at

completing major construction work during Summer 2017. This approach

will result in the least disruption to the students and their class schedules. It

will also foster safer construction site. As the project reaches its completion,

all the major work (finishing etc.) which is planned in this area is scheduled

to be done during breaks.

Priority Area B: - We have more flexibility in this area as it is free from

disruption by movement of people and material and thus, this area will be

barricaded thought out the construction period.

Our team will be following an Integrative Project Delivery Approach and will act as

the Construction Manager at Risk for Newmark Civil Engineering Lab - Renovation

and Expansion Project III. We, at BIMplement INC, believe that Building Information

Modelling places a vital role throughout the lifecycle of the building, and thus, we

will be using the 3D BIM Model throughout the project from predesign to design and

11 | P a g e

construction phases, and eventually we will be handing over the final model with as-

built data for Facility Management of the completed structure.

Project Proposal Approach

Design Concept

Design and detailing (both structural and architectural) for Newmark Civil

Engineering Lab Renovation and Expansion Project III has been judiciously crafted

to seamlessly fit with the current Newmark Lab and Yeh Center buildings. The

student-centric building, its socially responsible construction and visually stunning

design will serve to inspire the next generation of responsible engineering students.

A few salient features of the design considerations are as follows: -

Various elements of the new addition are carefully placed so as to create a

harmony of space and movement throughout

13 | P a g e

Special attention is given to the alignment of building mass so as to take

maximum advantage of natural energy available during different times of the

year which has aided in providing it a naturistic feel as well as improving the

energy performance

Materials and fixtures used in the building are chosen so as to create a

balance between the performance and life-cycle cost

Keeping sustainability as the prime focus, the project will aim at achieving

LEED Platinum Certification

Student Collaboration spaces aim at providing a quite study environment for

the students while enjoying the natural landscape and greenery with

optimum level of acoustic and thermal comfort.

Outside Views from Faculty Offices have been given special consideration.

Every attempt has been made to either preserve the current views or

enhance them.

Location, orientation and design of atrium, coffee-shop and other social areas

have been intended to minimize sound and vibration impacts on noise

sensitive spaces such as offices, classrooms, research labs etc.

Further details about individual components will be discussed in detail in later

sections. Following Proximity Chart delineates the arrangement of various spaces

are per their adjacency requirements.

Figure 7 - Functional Design (South Elevation)

Stairs and Walkways

Stairs and Walkways are the elements that connect the different components of a

building together. The design if these crucial components is left aside many a times

and they end up being uninviting and dull; and end up just serving as a pathway and

being architecturally bland.

Our design of stairs and walkways for the Newmark Expansion focuses on creating

an inviting and lively environment for people while they are moving from one part

of the building to another.

The stairs are centrally located and easily identifiable; have ample natural

light; architecturally aesthetic; provides natural views.

The walkway walls have a lively character

Our design aims at encouraging people using the building to use stairs and

walkways to commute from one part of the building to other rather than just using

elevators. Following benefits are obtained by adopting this approach: -

Reduced electricity consumption for elevator operation

Beneficial for health and wellbeing as people using them will be physically

active

Located right at the entrance of the building, thus, easily identifiable

17 | P a g e

Improved maneuverability – provides access to both new expansion as well

as current Yeh Center

Create a sense of invitation and liveliness

Figure 8 - Entry Lobby

Atrium

Atrium has been designed for fostering interaction and creating a social space for

students, faculties and visitors. It will act as the focal point of the new addition i.e.

Phase 3 Expansion. Salient design features: -

Flawlessly merges with the existing Newmark building.

Maintains views of the existing faculty offices

Preserves the natural beauty created by lush landscaping around the Atrium

and the building as a whole

An exciting location for future Career Fairs and Exhibitions

The Atrium will also be home to team projects, study sessions, lunch and

meetings from morning until late at night.

18 | P a g e

Figure 10 - Atrium view from bridge

Offices Spaces

The Newmark Expansion project aims at expanding the current Newmark Lab on

the East and South faces and Yeh Center on the East face. Faculty offices are located

on the South face of the Newmark Lab, and the Owner Project Requirements wanted

19 | P a g e

the project to be designed so as to at least preserve the views from the faculty

offices if not enhance them.

Figure 11 - RA/TA offices

Our design aims at not only preserving but significantly enhancing the views from

the faculty offices. New faculty offices are isolated from the hustle and bustle of the

classrooms; and located with proximity to Research Labs, TA/RA office spaces and

conference rooms.

Student Collaboration Area

We have created a number of spaces throughout the Newmark Civil Engineering Lab

- Renovation and Expansion Project III Building that will promote collaboration and

learning among students and faculty.

20 | P a g e

Figure 12 - Student Collaboration Space

These student collaboration spaces will give students the ability to gather outside of

their own research labs and classroom and provide much needed free space for

students to socialize, practice presentations, and study.

It will promote socializing and effective communication with the ample

seating areas and whiteboards in each collaboration space

These spaces will provide a unique opportunity to students across the

department to share ideas and hangout where previously they might not

have ever met

Coffee Shop

We talk a lot about how coffee pairs well with a variety of different things. Coffee

and chocolate, coffee and barbecue even coffee and ice cream! But perhaps the most

perfect duo of all is coffee and college students. Long before 5 Hour Energy shots

and massive, sugar-loaded neon green drinks, there was just one thing that powered

the dreary eyed college student—coffee!

If You Have Coffee, They Will Come - Coffee isn’t just the perfect study

companion; it also lends itself in facilitating the (perhaps) most important

21 | P a g e

part of college—socializing! More college students are drinking coffee than

ever before. It doesn’t have to be finals or midterm time to know that college

students love their coffee.

Teachers Love It Too! - Professors and teaching assistants need coffee just as

much as those snoozing students

Figure 13 – Cafeteria

Value Engineering

While designing the atrium space we wanted to provide natural lighting to decrease

energy consumption. As per conventional method we initially selected glass

skylights for this purpose. During our value engineering discussions, we evaluated

various alternatives to obtain a solution that would meet our objectives and at the

same time provide better performance in terms energy, functionality, sustainability

and building weight.

We found ETFE to meet all the above requirements and many more as below:

ETFE is super lightweight: 350 g/sq. m. and 1% the weight of glass

ETFE is Durable: At least 30 years of life

22 | P a g e

ETFE is eco-friendly: It is 100% recyclable

ETFE is up to 95% translucent

ETFE allows for fast and easy installation

ETFE has sound absorbent acoustic properties

ETFE provides thermal resistivity: R value ranging from 2.2-4.8

ETFE requires low maintenance

The light weight of ETFE concrete has also resulted in substantial reduction in the

structural steel requirement. A summary of comparative analysis of structural steel

requirement for ETFE and standard concrete slab is as shown below:

Targeting LEED Gold Certification

In 2008, recognizing the urgency of mitigating global climate change, University of

Illinois signed the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment

(ACUPCC). This established universities commitment to becoming carbon neutral as

soon as possible. The Illinois Climate Action Plan (iCAP) outlines the path for

University of Illinois Urbana Champaign to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

In line with universities ambitious sustainability targets and considering the

economic factors, we aim to achieve LEED Gold Certification for Newmark Civil

Engineering Lab - Renovation and Expansion Project III. The new expansion will

have an environmentally sustainable design with state of the art technology for Civil

and Environmental studies students to study and interact. The facility will provide a

sense of place to current and future College of Engineering students and become a

new home for alumni and will reflect the University’s stature and symbolize its

commitment to the future.

23 | P a g e

Following is a glimpse of the green and sustainable construction principles and

techniques that we will be using to achieve this goal: -

Triple pane windows that absorb less solar radiation than traditional panes

High performance insulation

White roofing reflects heat away from the building, thus reducing HVAC

necessary to modulate

Photo sensors on lights to reduce energy consumption as outside light enters

room

Use of water-efficient plantings around facility

High quality finishes with low embodied energy (quantity of energy required

to manufacture, and supply to the point of use, a product, material or service)

such as terrazzo and linoleum flooring

Carbon dioxide monitoring to help sustain long-term occupant comfort and

well-being

Control of erosion and sedimentation

Limit disruption and pollution of natural water flows by managing storm

water runoff during construction.

Landfill waste from job site reduced

Low-volume shower heads, toilets, and faucets reduce water consumption

Zero use of CFC-based refrigerants

Automatic light dimmers to detect ambient light from outside and adjust

accordingly to reduce power consumption

Motion sensors to turn lights off in empty rooms reducing power

consumption

Integrative Process

25 | P a g e

The design standards meet the specifications of American Institute of Steel

Construction (AISC)- Steel Construction Manual-14th Edition and the American

Concrete Institute (Building Code requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-

14) and the Commentary on Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete

(ACI 318R-14)

DESIGN APPROACH

All the components of the building have been designed for multiple load

combinations consisting of Dead, Live, Roof, Earthquake and Wind loads. The load

combinations are borrowed from ASCE-7.

The design approach used is the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). This is

an inelastic design method based on a strength format with limit states.

Load Combinations

Based on AISC Specification Sections B3.3 and B3.4, the required strength (either Pu,

Mu, Vu, etc.) is determined for the appropriate load magnitudes, load factors and

load combinations given in the building code.

For LRFD, the required strength is determined from the following factored

combinations, which are based on ASCE/SEI 7 section 2.3:

1) 1.4D

2) 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

3) 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R) + (0.5L or 0.5W)

4) 1.2D + 1.0W + 0.5L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)

5) 1.2D + 1.0E + 0.5L + 0.2S

6) 0.9D + 1.0W

7) 0.9D + 1.0E

where,

D = Dead Load

L= Live load due to occupancy

26 | P a g e

Lr = Roof Live Load

S = Snow Load

R = Nominal load due to initial rainwater or ice exclusive of the ponding

contribution

W = Wind Load

E = Earthquake Load

For this project, the design procedures doesnot include the snow and rainwater

loads. However, the roof live loads have been slightly increased to account for such

additional loads. The loads used are:

Dead Load (D)= 80 psf

Live Load (L)= 125 psf

Roof Dead Load (Dr) = 40 psf

Roof Live Load (Lr )= 20 psf

Wind load (W) = 30 psf

FOUNDATION

The foundations used for this project were drilled piers, similar to the ones already

existing for the Yeh Center. The dimensions are as follows:

Shaft diameter – 2’6”

Bell diameter- 6’

Discussion

The reason behind choosing this type of foundation is that the top soil in the project

area doesn’t have high bearing capacity. To avoid building on such soil conditions,

piers have been dug nearly 20’ deep for consolidated soil. The adjacent building, Yeh

Center, also has a similar type of foundations.

Design parameters:

1) Allowable bearing capacity (qa) – 6500 psf

2) Allowable compressive stress (f’c) for columns – 5000psi

27 | P a g e

3) Allowable compressive stress (f’c) for foundation– 4000psi

4) Seismic Load (E) – 285 kips

The foundations are analyzed for the worst possible load combination and the

analysis results show that the foundations are safe for design in shear, axial loads

and bending moments.

COLUMNS:

The columns used for this project are of two types, namely, composite (Concrete

Filled Tube (CFT)) and steel sections. The CFT columns have been chosen because

their orientation of the steel and concrete in cross-section optimizes the strength

and stiffness of the section. Moreover, the tube serves as formwork in construction,

which decreases labor and material costs and for a medium-rise construction like in

our case, the building can ascend more quickly than a typical reinforced concrete

structure.

However, such high strength columns are required only for the lower storeys which

bear higher loads due to the transfer of the loads from the upper storeys.

Story 1 & Story 2 – HSS Concrete filled tubes (CFT)

Story 3 & Story 4 – HSS sections

Design Parameters:

Yield Stress, Fy = 50 ksi

Tensile Stress, Fu = 65 ksi

The sections that have been used include:

1) HSS (CFT) – 12 x 12 x ½

2) HSS (CFT) – 12 x 10 x ½

3) HSS – 12 x 12 x ½

4) HSS – 8 x 8 x 3/8

28 | P a g e

GRAVITY LOAD SYSTEM

Deck

For this facility, composite decking has been used due to its additional structural

benefits like strength and economic benefits due to reduced material costs.

Design parameters:

Steel deck properties: rib center-to-center = 12”, Rib width = 6”, Deck height = 3”

Concrete - Normal weight; f’c = 4 ksi, concrete thickness = 3”

Deflection Criteria: Construction load limit = L/240; Service load limit = L/360

Along with the earlier mentioned dead and live loads, a construction live load of 20

psf is considered for this analysis.

Beams & Girders

Although the sections used at different locations in the facility are based on the

loads that act upon them, the preliminary design procedure such as below has been

adopted for simplicity.

Girders:

1) First Floor Tributary width <= 30’ , Section – W 30 x 108

2) Second Floor Tributary width <= 30’ , Section – W 27 x 84

3) Third Floor Tributary width <=30 ’ , Section – W 24 x 76, W 14 x 30

4) Roof Tributary width <= 30’, Section – W 12 x 26, W 14 x 30

Beams:

1) First Floor Tributary width <= 55’ , Section – W 27 x 84

2) Second Floor Tributary width <= 55’ , Section – W 24 x 76

3) Third Floor Tributary width <=55 ’ , Section – W 24 x 76, W 21 x 68, W 14

x 30

4) Roof Tributary width <= 55’, Section – W 12 x 26, W 14 x 30

Heavier section has been provided for the double heighted story provided for the

auditorium to avoid columns in middle of the floor space.

LATERAL RESISTING FORCE SYSTEM

X-BRACING:

X-bracings have been provided at three different locations in the building, namely

the South, East and West sides of the Facility. These bracings increase the capacity

of the building to withstand seismic activity from an earthquake and wind loads. For

this project, the bracings have been designed for two directions, namely North-

South (N-S) and East-West (E-W).

HSS - 8 x 8 x 3/8 has been used for the braces. It has been assumed that each X-brace

in the N-S direction would take half of the wind load in that direction. As the axial

forces in the members of the braces are very less, P-M interaction hasn’t been done

and the members have been designed for axial loads only.

For the preliminary design, a truss analysis has been conducted to calculate the axial

forces in the members. It has then been verified that the members are safe using

analysis in SAP2000.

MOMENT FRAME AND BRACED FRAME

After analysis in SAP2000, it has been discovered that the deflections in the East

side are large. Therefore, to reduce these effects, braced frames have been

incorporated in the second and third floors. After providing these, the deflections

have been drastically reduced and the entire East side of the facility acts as a single

unit as desired for structural integrity.

Similarly, in the South side of the facility, the vertical deflections have been large

initially. To counteract that, Moment Frames are provided and this is achieved by

making all the elements/joints of the frame moment-resisting. In SAP2000 model,

the column is given a fixed restraint for making the frame behave like a moment

resisting frame.

AUTODESK REVIT STRUCTURE 2016 SAP 2000

The initial structural model has been created using Autodesk Revit 2016. This

allowed us to link the Structural Model to the Architectural model and look for

potential mistakes. Once the model was complete, the Revit file has been exported to

SAP2000 for analysis using the plug-in named CsixRevit provided by Autodesk.

Inter-operability challenges

Initially, we tried to export the Revit file in IFC file format to SAP2000 for analysis.

However, all the components haven’t been exported into SAP2000 and creating

another structural 3D-frame is a daunting task. Therefore, with CsiX Revit, the .exr

file exported from Revit 2016 exported a much higher number of structural

elements into SAP2000. The duplicate joints that existed in the imported model

were rectified and analysis was run for different load cases.

Clash Detection

After architectural and structural models were merged, .ifc file of structural model

and .rvt file of architectural model were imported in NAVISWORKS and clash

detection was performed. Only clash detection for hard clashes was made. Tolerance

was kept at 0.1 m and 267 hard clashes were detected. Most of these clashes were

because of MEP clashing with structural components or structural components

clashing amongst each other like beams and columns or structural components with

other architectural components. After that all the necessary changes were made and

all the clashes were corrected.

Quantity Take Offs and Cost Estimation

For quantity take-offs we have used Solibri and Revit as our software tools.

Quantities of almost all the elements which were modelled with sufficient details

were taken calculated from the 4D model.

The basis for cost estimation of this project is RS Means Building Cost Data and

Assembly Cost. Also, apart from this our basis for Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing,

Fire Protection, Audio/Visual, and Furniture is the previous historical data of the

university building costs. The buildings which we took as reference are the

Electrical and Computer Science Building and Yeh Center both of which have similar

configurations as we are providing on our building.

We took the historical data into consideration, although the cost estimates from RS

Means are fairly well estimated, because these systems vary in complexity and

efficiency especially when the building is being designed to LEED Gold Standards.

These costs were then compared and a factor was applied to our cost estimates to

take these adjustments into consideration.

Work Breakdown Structure

The WBS of our project has been designed and broken down on the basis of our

basic assumption that major outside construction of the PHASE 3 Construction near

the existing Yeh Center Building should be completed before the Fall 2017 Session

begins. Accordingly, our building is divided in to ‘Area A’ and ‘Area B’, which shows

under every sub-division of our WBS. Area A covers the work front utilizing N.

Mathews Avenue. Area B is the rest of the building.

The work blocks of construction phase are:

1. Site Preparation

2. Sub Structure

3. Superstructure

4. Envelope and Cladding

5. Interiors

6. HVAC

7. Plumbing

8. Electrical

9. Fire Protection

10. A/V and Furniture

11. Landscaping

12. Punch List and Close Out

As discusses earlier, each of these work blocks have been subdivided into Area A

and Area B with the corresponding of area activities listed under them.

Schedule

The project starts on 3rd April, 2017 (Monday) and closeout ends on 28 Aug 2018

(Tuesday). The construction spans for 512 days. Our schedule is based on 8hrs work

5-day work week calendar with standard holidays.

Almost all the activities of Area A start earlier than that of Area B for it is the priority

area. The exterior construction work of Area A near the Yeh Center will get over on

31st Aug 2016 and which facilitates the easy and safe movement of student

population on N. Mathews Avenue once the fall 2017 session starts. The work

progresses from bottom to up for all the activities as can be seen from our schedule

attached.

For MEP installation the bigger equipment will be brought in the building before the

envelope starts. However, equipment fixing and all the ducting and piping will

continue along with the works in the interior parts of the building. The Punch list

and Closeout go on for 60 days during which the AV system and Furniture will be

finally be completed also.

We propose to update the schedule almost real time during the construction phase

using BIM enabled progress tracking technology.
