Arizona State University – Student Recreation Complex Expansion

[slideshow_deploy id=’3335′]

Architect:
Studio MA

Location:
Tempe, Arizona

Construction Cost:
$21.5 Million

Project Size:
143,000 gsf renovation/ 70,000 gsf expansion

 

In the midst of a severe national economic recession, Arizona State University students voted to increase student recreation fees in order to fund design and construction of an expanded and renovated Student Recreation Complex. Extensively involved in the pre-programming of the facility, students looked to consolidate the various locations throughout the community where intramural sports had been relocated. The new facility will include new competition fields, a large gym with multiple courts, in addition to strength /cardio, multi-purpose and student health/wellness spaces. Convergent Technologies’ scope for this project includes complete design services for audiovisual presentation systems and telecommunications cabling systems design. Additionally, acoustical analysis for interior room finish recommendations was provided for all high-bay gymnasium spaces along with the design of sound isolating partitions between the existing Small Gymnasium and adjacent office spaces.

Johns Hopkins Hospital Simulation Center

Convergent Technologies Design Group New York, Inc. (CTDGNY) has been asked to provide audiovisual system electronics with associated supporting infrastructure, access control/video surveillance systems electronics design services for the Johns Hopkins Hospital (JHH) Simulation Center Project located in Baltimore, MD. The Simulation Center is designed to support the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine student curriculum as well as the patient safety needs of the faculty and staff of JHH.

Healthcare simulation is used to train for teamwork, to train for emergencies, as a method for skills training for novices, to evaluate competency, and for investigating human performance. It can also be used to test new procedures for safety, for human factors testing, and as a research method. Simulation is becoming increasingly important for novice healthcare trainees, as well as for seasoned clinicians to maintain clinical competency and be trained on new and innovative approaches to patient care.

Convergent Technologies was asked by Davis
Architects to provide audiovisual systems
design for Samford University College of Health
Sciences. It is understood that the College of
Health Sciences is a relatively new program,
which will be migrating standards from a range
of existing programs into a single building.
The overall design for each Audiovisual system
was to provide Samford University with cutting
edge technology presentation and simulation
capture systems which will enable the operation,
administration, and security of the facility,
and will also enhance higher education instruction
and collaboration in each educational space.
Spaces to receive Audiovisual systems design
include four high fidelity simulation suites,
ten exam rooms,or lab, health assessment lab,
and the pharmacy.

Location: Birmingham, Alabama

Arizona State University Fitness Complex for LEED Platinum

 

[col3]

The new Arizona State University Sun Devil Fitness Complex has passed the Architecture 2030 Challenge for carbon reduction! This was a combined effort of Studio MA and Sasaki with the help of CTDG. Its design was based on the desert which included a rain screen, rooftop solar thermal system and deep overhangs and louvers. All of this has led to a 70% decrease in energy use.

 

In the midst of a severe national economic
recession, Arizona State University students voted
to increase student recreation fees in order to fund
design and construction of an expanded and
renovated Student Recreation Complex. Extensively
involved in the pre-programming of the facility,
students looked to consolidate the various locations
throughout the community where intramural sports
had been relocated. The new facility will include
new competition fields, a large gym with multiple

cabling systems design. Additionally, acoustical
analysis for interior room finish recommendations
was provided for all high-bay gymnasium spaces
along with the design of sound isolating partitions
between the existing Small Gymnasium and
adjacent office spaces. This project was completed
in 2013.
