NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE | Ottawa, Ont. O, CANADA! Three new wings and a fl ashy AV display add luster to the nation’s cultural gem.

HE NATIONAL ARTS CENTRE is the jewel in Can- ada’s cultural crown. Designed by Fred Lebensold (1917-1985) and completed in 1969 as one of Canada’s Centennial projects, it is a key compo- T nent of Ottawa’s Confederation Square National Historic Site. In more recent years, the NAC, marked by its heavy Brutalist style, came to be viewed as “disconnected” from its urban context. To make it more “lively” in character (as per the National Capital Commission’s original charter), Diamond Schmitt Architects designed three new wings that lighten the overall effect. The north wing provides two new fl oors of lobby, program, and audience amenity space. Enclosed by a custom-designed unitized steel-glass curtain wall, the pavilion opens up the NAC’s cultural programs to visitors to the nation’s capital. The new glass and bronze-paneled pavilion on the A hexagonal laminated west adds the Fourth Stage—a community-oriented timber coffer roof and space for music—to the NAC’s extant trio of perfor- decorative ceiling with built-in MEP/ mance spaces.

The glazed structure is lined on four sides with an LED digital “scrim” that can display performances from within the NAC and livestream other performances from across the country. It’s a remarkable use of technology that furthers the NAC’s mandate as a truly national cultural institution. – Robert Cassidy, Executive Editor

The $37 million renovation CAMPUS of a 10-story tower on the University of Michigan campus created a dynamic learning center with UPGRADE daylit spaces and “living” biowalls. A Mid-century building becomes home to a new International Institute.

HE RENOVATION OF WEISER HALL, a Mid-century academic building at the University of Michigan, provides new daylit spaces, community clusters, greater accessibility, and sustainable design fea- T tures. The building had been mostly vacant since 2014, when the astronomy department moved out. Weiser Hall is now home to the university’s Interna- tional Institute and associated programs of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts. (It is named after Board of Regents member Ron Weiser, who has committed $90 million to the university.) Improvements include 98,000 sf of barrier-free, gender-neutral, code-compliant space. Each of Weiser Hall’s 10 fl oors accommodates learning spaces, meeting rooms, glazed offi ces, conference rooms, and student and staff lounges. The abiding renovation strategy was to open up the space and foster collaboration by reorienting closed offi ces to face open ones. The ground fl oor has been turned into a multipurpose learning space adjacent to a feature stair amphitheater. On the southwest corner, the project team stacked four double-height commons that overlook an area visible from the main pedestrian thoroughfare and quad on the central campus. Each common space has a two-story biofi lter living wall that is connected to the HVAC system. The biowalls remove VOCs and moderate indoor temperatures. The 10th fl oor was reconfi gured as an event space, art gallery, and boardroom by removing columns and raising a section of the roof. Thermal-effi cient windows and mechanical systems, including chilled-beam cooling, were installed. The brick façade was restored to maintain Weiser Hall’s aesthetic alignment with the rest of the campus. Interiors have been modernized through lighting design and digital displays.

Using the latest digital signage technology and creative building redevelopment plans, building The project involved N owners and developers jockey for the primo positions to saving the street- facing portions of capture eyeballs along this famed commercial intersection. the Cecil B. DeMille The 20 Times Square mixed-used project at the corner of 47th building to maintain and Seventh Avenue is indicative of the great lengths Building its billboard rights. Teams will go in order to maximize real estate and media opportunities in Times Square. The project involved redeveloping portions of the historic Cecil B. DeMille building, pouring new foundations for the entire site, and then erecting a 42-story luxury hotel, retail, and entertainment tower on the compact, 16,000-sf property. Demolishing the DeMille building would have been the easy route, but it would cost the developers precious billboard real estate. For new construction, the city requires a setback at 60 feet in height. This would have nearly halved the 110-foot-tall street wall that wrapped the DeMille building. To save its street wall height, the team would have to qualify for a special Alteration 1 permit. The solution entailed demolishing 70% of the existing building, leaving a 10-story, L-shaped confi guration along 47th Street and Seventh Avenue. The team took painstaking measures to save the street-facing structure of the DeMille, a plan that met the city’s requirement for saving at least 25% of the existing fl oor levels. It included: temporary shoring and bracing of the existing structure until the permanent foundations could be poured; removal of the small Pig & Whistle pub building and an accompanying party wall shared by the adjacent New York Hotel (different owner); the dis- covery of misplaced columns and undocumented structural framing that required re-engineering on a weekly basis to maintain the shoring/bracing; and the install of vibration monitors and telltales to monitor movement of the existing “L” structure during construction.

HEN IT OPENED IN 1883, the nine-story Temple Court Building was one of the tallest buildings in New York City, and one of the fi rst with a soaring, open atrium at its center. The red-brick W and terra cotta offi ce building was commis- sioned by dry-goods retailer and banker Eugene Kelly to house law practices. Its signature turrets were trendsetting at the time—the Woolworth Building adopted similar architectural elements some 30 years later. Temple Court and its Annex (1890) were designated a New York City landmark in 1998, to no avail: the last tenant moved out at the end of 2001. In 2012, a development group led by Allen Gross, Presi- dent of GFI Capital Resources, purchased the property and set a plan to revive it for hotel/retail use, along with the construction of a ground-up, 51-story residential tower on the adjacent lot. The bottom 10 fl oors of the new tower adjoin the historic property; both house hotels rooms. The upper 41 fl oors of the tower contain 67 luxury condos and amenities spaces. Beekman Hotel and Residences was fully completed earlier this year. Key to the landmark building’s revival was overcoming a tenuous fi re code issue that forced its previous owners, in R E
