Multimodal Garage #1 Program and Description

Introduction/Program: The Campus Framework Plan adopted by the Board of Regents in 2007 and the Campus Transportation and Parking Plan both include a major parking structure at the corner of Wheeler and Calhoun as part of the Wheeler Precinct and as an anchor for the Southeast entry into campus. This project follows those plans and will replace parking space previously lost with the construction of the Health Biomedical Building and Cougar Village land that will be lost with the construction of Metro’s light rail lines and Cougar Village IL It will provide needed spaces for faculty, staff, commuter students and residence hall students.

The project will provide a minimum of 1500 parking spaces and approximately 500,000 GSF with an option for up to an additional 500 spaces for a total of 2000 parking spaces and approximately 670,000 GSF.

In addition the project will accommodate and link multiple modes of transportation including UH Shuttle Buses, Metro Buses and access to a Metro Light Rail Station.

UN Transportation Plan: UN currently experiences approximately 125,000 vehicle trips per weekday, with an expected increase to over 160,000 within the next decade. To mitigate the impact of this growth, the University collaborated with regional transportation agencies (City of Houston, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Houston- Galveston Area Council, and Texas Department of Transportation) to develop the UN Transportation Plan. This Plan was utilized to project campus needs and potential transportation capital projects. These projects then formed the basis for Parking Fee recommendations.

The current UH Transportation Plan calls for a reduction in vehicle trips by a minimum of 10% (12,500 to 16,000 vehicle trips per day) by providing convenient access to rail and bus transit, van and carpools, pedestrian walkways, and bicycle transportation. To achieve this goal a significant segment of trips to UN must be by modes other than individuals driving alone. By reducing vehicle trips, the University’s transportation plan will reduce congestion, reduce the need for more parking garages, conserve energy, reduce the University’s carbon footprint, and help to improve air quality.

The University of Houston’s goal is to implement a transportation plan that links multiple transportation mode- a “multimodal” plan- to achieve a seamless integration of Metro light rail, buses and UH shuttles with the campus and surrounding community. This coordination will significantly increase ridership for Metro, improve access to and from the University, reduce the need for parking garages, and enable the University to handle a larger portion of its projected increase in campus enrollment and activity without a corresponding increase in vehicle trips. With additional mobility choices, the UN Transportation Plan will produce economic, environmental and quality of place” benefits for the region.

Multimodal Description: In order to accomplish these goals, UN proposes a coordinated transportation plan that includes developing transportation centers linking all of the various at each of the three proposed Metro light rail stations that will be constructed along the perimeter of the campus. The Campus loop circulation road will provide the pathway for the campus shuttle bus and cross campus trips.

08/16/2011

FCMP — C-1.1.1 This project is the first of those “multi-modal centers”. It combines this coordinated transportation effort with a campus information center. It will provide grade-separated access to the Metro Light Rail Station, Metro bus access, and direct connection to the UH Shuttle. Connections to pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths will serve all areas of the campus, greatly enhancing the desirability of commuting to campus via mass transit.

The Garage will be accessed from Calhoun and will include space for the UH Shuttle Busses and pedestrian walkways to the Metro Light Rail Station on Wheeler. A comprehensive traffic analysis will determine the exact size, layout, entrances and resulting traffic accommodations. It will also study what layout will best accommodate Metro buses.

Proiect Details: The southeast corner of the project at Calhoun and Wheeler will include special design features in recognition of the importance, visibility and marketing possibilities of this prime corner of campus. The security design of the garage will include extensive security cameras and emergency phones all tied to and monitored by University Police. It will also feature upgraded lighting levels, glass stair towers and glass rear elevator cab walls as well as well lit pedestrian circulation leading form all entrances and exits. The exterior of the building will utilize the materials utilized elsewhere on campus and that are part of the University’s standardized material and design palette.

08/16/2011 FCMP-D-1 University of Houston Naming Justification Building No. 9A Energy Research Park at the University of Houston

The University of Houston’s drive toward Tier One Status and increased research activity has centered on key areas that reflect the strength and needs of Houston and Texas. This strategy allows UH to best leverage resources and respond to industry requirements. A key part of this strategy involves Energy and associated Energy Research. It is the prime component of the Research Park the University is developing at the former Schiumberger site and its success depends upon important Energy Industry partners.

ConocoPhillips has stepped forward as a primary partner in all of these University of Houston efforts. They have contributed talent, money and significant resources toward UH developing a Petroleum Engineering Program and in expanding energy research. Their noteworthy gifts have allowed the renovation and finishing of Building 9A for the Petroleum Engineering Department. In addition their areas of Philanthropic Support include significant financial support of the following programs:

C. T. Bauer College of Business • Emerging Leaders Academic Success Program • National Association of Black Accountants Cullen College of Engineering • Program for Mastery in Engineering Studies (PROMES) • Society of Women Engineers • National Society of Black Engineers • Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics • Scholar Enrichment Program (SEP)

Besides financial support ConocoPhillips and their team have volunteered as advisors, industry experts, academic resources and mentors. The many examples include:

Ryan Lance? SVP Exploration & Production/ B.S., Petroleum Engineering from Montana Tech

• UH President’s Energy Advisory Board • Chairman, Spindletop International • Montana Tech Foundation board

Kelly Talkington, Director of Global Upstream Engineering Recruiting & Development • UH PE Advisory Board • Instrumental in cultivation efforts for $3 million total commitment to UH petroleum engineering

Over the past four years the relationship between the University of Houston and Conoco Phillips has grown. As part of that growth UH has been rewarded as one of ConocoPhillips’ core schools in their college portfolio from which they recruit.

Based on their extensive support to the University of Houston as outlined above it is recommended Building No. 9A at the Energy Research Park at the University of Houston be named the ConocoPhillips Petroleum Engineering Building.

Design LAB University of Houston

This University of Houston System Master Plan Executive Summary is the work of DesignLAB-Houston. As the professional research arm of the University of Houston Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, DesignLA8 generates preliminary design studies and research and development work across the disciplines of architecture, planning and industrial design. DesignLARs approach to this master planning effort is to make seamless the academic, fiscal and land use plans of each University of Houston System campus.

Patricia 8&ton Oliver, FA/A Dean of the Gerald 0. Hines College of Architecture

Process The master plan process followed for each campus includes the documentation and analysis of current space utilization for each building and floor area within the project scope, mapping the reported utilization on current floor plans and then conducting in-person walkthroughs. (Fig. 1, P9. 12) DesignLAB verified the utilization with the physical facilities conditions and determined additional capacity for teaching and other activities to accommodate growth within the existing facilities.

We also reviewed the academic course schedule for a snapshot semester (Fall 2010) to determine the fill rates for each existing course determining additional capacity within the existing teaching resources.

Once the space utilization of existing facilities was measured, we developed multiple scenarios for growth and expansion within the parameters of enrollment projections, revenue projections, and available resources. (Fig. 2, Pg. 12)

For the investigation of research at UH, DesignLAB mapped the principal investigator space assignments onto the lab floor plans, verified these assignments with in-person walkthroughs, and mapped these assignments’ square footage totals to develop a comparative productivity metric for the research space. Our goal was to identify additional research capacity, assess maintenance and operations concerns related to the flow of DC support, and to assist in the development of campus research policy.

FCMP — E-1.1.1 U N I V E R S I T V of Sustaining Tier One Research

HO U ST0 N. INTRODUCTION The presence of over 24 task forces illustrates the scale and complexity of issues that exist on the U?! campus. In assessing the priorities of the campus, the focus of DesignLAb’s first phase was to analyze a key pressing University issue: research. By using the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics as a case study, the evaluation sought to identi& findings that would assist in the development of policies for governing Research space utilization, optimization, infrastructure and responsibilities. The evaluation was coupled with coordinating the efforts of the task forces, determining the condition of existing facilities/infrastructure and assessing overall UH Facilities requirements.

This evaluation yielded three major Facility findings: • After current construction is completed no net increase in general Instructional Space will be needed at Ull until significantly after 2015. • Completing current projects, finishing shell space, better utilization, improved space assignment, renovation and increased deferred maintenance can provide significant additional research facilities required to reach the goal of $200 million in annual research expenditures. • Additional Student Success/Student Life facilities are needed to meet the Student Success goals detailed in the UH Mission and Academic Plan.

ADDITIONAL FINDINGS Academic Instruction and Support: • UH projects increased graduate, off campus and on line enrollment but anticipates stable on-campus undergraduate enrollment. • Improved space assignments and utilization can accommodate projected enrollments. • Growth in online education is changing the amount and type of space needed on campus. • Outdated lab space should be renovated for additional Academic Support Space. • A collaborative arts building and a replacement building for Sculpture will be required in order to meet LTH Arts Goals and Initiatives.

Research: • To meet Tier One research goals 3 major research clusters- West Science Research Complex, Southeast Campus Health Biomedical Complex and Energy Research Park- should be expanded over the next few years. • The development and implementation of an accurate accounting system synthesizing space utilization and research space allocation data bases will assist in optimizing research space usage and support. • Improved utilization will allow space for greenhouse programs and research incubation. • The clarification of maintenance responsibilities will alleviate long term deferred maintenance impacts and establish a baseline for IDC allocation. • The appropriate distribution of IDC would contribute to maintenance and of research facilities. • Yff? neeäs resources and attention to renovation and infrastructure. Increased

btJ HEAF distribution to infrastructure and required maintenanace of research Fl 0 U S T 0 facitlities would sustain a viable model moving forward, avoid long term impacts of deferred maintenance, and accelerate future growth. Student Success: • UI-I’s transition to 25% of undergraduates living on campus will dramatically change the nature of UH and significantly impact student life and student success. • UI-I needs additional student support space and student recreational facilities to meet student success goals. • Major increases in student support facilities including Health Services will be required by Fall 2013 when the Freshmen Living Requirement is implemented. • Outdated research and academic space can he renovated for addictional Student Support Space.

Infrastructure/Support: • Major investments in campus circulation and structured parking yielding at least 3000 new spaces are needed. • Metro Light Rail Lines will dramatically change campus access necessitating new campus circulation roads and revised entrances. • Campus Infrastructure and utility systems are past their useful life and have extensive deferred maintenance issues which will require major re-investments in the next few years.

Note: UH is currently undertaking an extensive Facility Condition Audit of all existing buildings and all infrastructure. Initial findings from that study and the work of this Master Plan to date indicate there are significant infrastructure, Deferred Maintenance, and Renovation issues throughout which must be addressed. These issues are substantial and many will take precedence over new construction projects. Once the audits are complete, a large number of insrastructure, Deferred Maintenance, and Renovation projects to address these issues will be prioritized and added to the Phasing Plan.

INDIRECT COST ALLOCATION

The case study of research in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics resulted in the following diagrams which are the syntheses of the National Institute of Health grant funding description, interviews with the UH Associate Vice President of Research Operations and the Chair of the Department of Chemistry, and in-person walkthroughs of the research laboratories and floor plates. These sources revealed absent funding streams essential to support the maintenance of laboratory buildings research infrastructure.

Funds are expected to flow from the indirect costs of federal grants to UH Plant Operations in order to fund incidental and periodic building shell, base utilities, and core maintenance. Additional funds are expected to flow from the indirect costs of federal grants to the respective research teams in order to fund project-specific equipment, infrastructure and maintenance. HEAF funds designated for renovation and maintenance are also expected to provide additional funds for maintaining the laboratory buildings shell and core. These funds were largely absent from those available to support laboratory maintenance and repairs.

Numerous areas of ambiguity exist between the university’s responsibility for the building shell and core versus each research team’s responsibility for project-specific equipment, infrastructure and maintenance. These ambiguities exacerbate the problems of absent funding streams and underscore the need for a clear definition of responsibilities for maintenance at the initiation of each new research laboratory and funded grant.

:: EXISTING CAPACITY AND IDC BENCHMARK

New university metrics of both total expenditures/sf and total IDC s/sf are important in supporting a sustainable research practice. The College of NSM will measure its success in part against the benchmark of $100 IDC/ sf of lab. As the college moves toward this institutional benchmark, funding more representative of Tier One research will support the maintenance and operations of the valuable research infrastructure. By increasing maintenance funding streams, better maintained research assets will support increased research activity and provide a model for sustaining appropriate standards for each building.

Although a comparison of three characteristic principal investigators demonstrates a range of current IDC yield from $445 to $11.24/sf, the aggregate across the College of NSM is $32 IDC/sf. Nonetheless, movement toward the benchmark of $100 [DC/sf and better utilization of space currently available and new space coming online means that there is significant capacity in the research space toward meeting the university goal of $200,000,000 in total expenditures.

DesignLAB is drafting a policy to establish the means by which to manage this research and achieve these goals while incorporating faculty committee recommendations as to how lab space should be allocated across NSM and within parallel centers of research.
