  8. 8 ACE, Inc. Biology Laboratory

  9. 9 ACE, Inc. Lecture Classroom

  10. 10 ACE, Inc. Existing Problems • Current labs inadequate for science programs • Space is tight, no room for large experiments • Clutter due to lack of proper storage space • Biology water supply & electrical outlets no longer function • Fume hood in chemistry lab no longer functional • No air conditioning in the physics laboratory • NEED FOR EXPANSION OF SPACE

  11. 11 ACE, Inc. Site Decision CHOSEN + visible from street, pleasant views – no direct connection to school + ground floor access & displays – Fairmount Park Commission land – not visible from street, blocked views + direct connection to school – no ground floor access or displays + Archdiocese of Philadelphia land

  12. 12 ACE, Inc. Utility Services • City & Pennoni Plans • Water Main = 8 inch • Gas Main = 3 inch • Fire Main = 6 inch • Sewer Main = 18 inch • Electrical Conduit = 3 inch • Telephone & Cable = overheads • NEW DIRECT CONNECTIONS

  13. 13 ACE, Inc. Geotechnical Survey • Boring & Sampling < 50 feet away (McClymont & Rak) • Blows = 99 per foot @ 10 feet • clay, silt-sand, mica • Water Table not reached (low) • SUITABLE FOR DESIGN

  14. 14 ACE, Inc. Traffic Circulation • Typical suburban transportation • 25% walk • 25% drive • 50% SEPTA • lack of spaces • PROVIDE SOME PARKING Building Area Heavy Vehicular Light Vehicular Pedestrian Paths

  15. 15 ACE, Inc. Stormwater Flows • Tough requirements • proximity to Pennypack Creek (DEP) • erosion of steep slope (contours) • CONNECT EXISTING SEWER Building Area Aquatic Bodies Drainage Paths Contour Lines

  16. 16 ACE, Inc. Architectural Program • Curriculum Support • Vocational = 50sf per person • Classrooms = 20sf per person • NET AREA: 14,480sf • Normal Occupants = 250 people

  17. 17 ACE, Inc. Interior Schematics • Circulation = +67% • Gross Area = 24,185sf • Height Limit = 3 stories • Footprint Size = ~8,000sf • DIMENSIONS: 80 feet BY100 feet

  18. 18 ACE, Inc. Exterior Concepts Transparent : Opaque 1 : 1 Solar Array Green Roof Entrance Overhang Many Trees

  19. Provide Father Judge High School with a functional, economical, and safe arrangement of lab and classroom spaces Must be able to adapt to changing technologies and modes of science education 19 ACE, Inc. Structural Goals

  20. Live Loads = 40 psf to 250 psf (IBC 2006) Point Loads = 0 to 3,000 lbs (IBC 2006) Earthquake Load Total Base Shear = ~150 kips (IBC 2006) Total Wind Load = ~30 kips (ASCE 7 – Chapter 6) 20 ACE, Inc. Load Development

  21. Created to help define the goals Predicts challenges of the structural design for architecture of proposed building Calculates the total load the building will face Gives a rough estimate of appropriate member sizes A HEAD START ON WINTER TERM DESIGN 21 ACE, Inc. Structural Program

  22. Total Factored Load = ~3,000 kips Assuming a conservative deflection requirement of L/360 (IBC 2006): Largest moment of inertia (if steel) = 4,000 in4 Spanning the proposed multi-class lecture hall (~50’ bay size) will likely require a small truss system 22 ACE, Inc. Program Output
