THINKING BEYOND THE BUILDING Recognizing the latent power of architecture to connect people and ideas, Van extends his engagement with the concepts that shape his projects to next generation thinking that is not necessarily building focused. Having worked closely with regional educators and the keepers and staff at Albuquerque’s BioPark and Aquarium, Van saw an opportunity. Teachers, hard hit by budget cuts, were struggling to develop curricula while scientists at the zoo had a wealth of knowledge to share. Van made the connections with a multi-disciplinary team of specialists to get approvals, develop lessons and videos and create digital learning programs. The InSchools program went live in classrooms this fall.

Through his involvement with zoo and aquarium design, Van understands the critical issues facing these institutions. In the summer of 2010 he initiated a conversation about the future of animal displays and visitor experience, forging a partnership with the San Diego Zoo Global. By September they jointly sponsored the “Imagine Zoos and Aquariums 2030 Conference” that brought together 20 leading thinkers from major public and private organizations nationally. Efforts resulting from the session — from sustainability to zoo apps for smart phones — are moving forward, and a second conference is scheduled for November 2011, with Van in the avant guard.

In his many years of architectural practice, Van Gilbert has created a true legacy that serves an extensive and diverse constituency. He lives the highest ideals of the profession; as a Fellow his work will reflect ever more significantly in the American Institute of Architects. SECTION 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS VAN H. GILBERT, AIA

NATIVE SON OF NEW MEXICO, VAN H. GILBERT’S ARCHITECTURAL PHILOSOPHY HAS BEEN SHAPED BY HIS EXPERIENCE OF THE STATE’S UNIQUE GEOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, AMULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. IN HIS 40 YEARS OF ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE VAN HAS DESIGNED BUILDINGS OF NEARLY EVERY TYPOL OGY ACROSS THE BROAD REACHES OF THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT. THE RESULTS ARE ANYTHING THE UNIVERSAL DESIRES OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES FOR A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE. FROM RESTORED ARCHITECTURAL TREASURES, VAN DESIGNS BUILDINGS THAT HAVE THE POWER TO INFLU ENCE A COMMUNITY’S CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL LIFE.

INNOVATING EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS

With a portfolio that includes dozens of schools, zoological exhibits and aquariums, Van has long been a student of educational models, committed to understanding how to provide students of all ages the best possible learning environments.

For K-12 schools throughout the state, Van works closely with local boards, teachers, par- ents and the students themselves to understand their specific needs and goals. He consistently seeks out the Van is an influential agent with a view of practice as engagement: best partners nationally to assure that his initiating action, forging critical partnerships or implementing bold clients have access to the latest research new programs.

2.1 SIGNIFICANT WORK

HIGHER EDUCATION For a number of New Mexico’s college and university campuses, Van builds more than buildings, as he is often engaged for multiple facilities over time. He collaborates with the campus architects, faculty, staff and students to develop an integrated sense of place even as he delivers individual state-of the-art buildings designed to meet the rigorous programmatic demands of a wide range of typologies from lab to classroom to performance hall. Among the campuses where he has designed multiple facilities:

t6OJWFSTJUZPG/FX.FYJDPQSPKFDUT t/FX.FYJDP4UBUF6OJWFSTJUZCVJMEJOHT t&BTUFSO/FX.FYJDP6OJWFSTJUZCVJMEJOHT t/FX.FYJDP5FDICVJMEJOHT t/FX.FYJDP.JMJUBSZ*OTUJUVUFCVJMEJOHT

On several high profile campus projects at the University of New Mexico and at New Mexico State University (NMSU) Van has worked in close association with the highly regarded firm of Shepley Bulfinch to create distinctive buildings that have become icons for the school, like Skeen Hall, Center for Arid Lands at the NMSU campus in Las Cruces or for campus districts like the Science and Math Learning Center at UNM, located at western boundary of the University, where it has become the gateway to the technological center of the campus.

At each school, Van works with the campus community to understand not only the requirements for efficient, effective buildings, but to discover the quality of life issues that are of the greatest concern and provide support for the overarching goals of the institution. At the same time, with a clear grasp of the regional context and campus history, his work extends and enhances the individual identity and spirit of the schools in the architecture. Van’s work provides images and experience of campus life that help to form the lifelong memories and connections so important to alumni.

ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS As every architect knows, there are projects and then there are passions. For Van, it is the design of and zoo and aquarium habitats and exhibits. Since designing his first habitat for the Birds of Prey Exhibit at the Albuquerque Biological Park, Van has been a dedicated student and champion of the zoological cause. When the Zoo’s bald eagles, a long-time, mated pair produced their first chick after moving into his new exhibit with its optimum conditions, Van realized the critical role that architecture could play in protecting animal species, and how important it was for the visitors to have the opportunity to observe and learn in that environment.

Since that time, Van has gone on to design multiple exhibits for the Albuquerque Zoo and Aquar- ium and has expanded his animal design practice across the west including projects in California, Texas, Oklahoma and Washington.

In the last few years, Van has taken his passion, intelligence and concern to the national arena, initiating the “Imagine Zoos and Aquariums 2030.” (See Thinking Beyond the Building and Exhibits.)

PERFORMANCE SPACES As part of his extensive academic portfolio, Van has designed a significant number of performance spaces from small black box theaters to multi-venue arts complexes. These spaces not only provide the schools that house them with the functional spaces for teaching the music, dance and theater arts, they are also treasured community resources. In addition he has designed several other off campus performance venues including the popular Band Shell at the Albuquerque Biological Park.

Design of performance halls is particularly rewarding for Van, a dedicated music lover who served on the Board of Directors of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra for 15 years and as its unofficial Chair of Facilities from 1995 to 2010. These halls are also important contributors to the cultural life of the communities — be it a multipurpose venue in a smaller community or the premier concert hall on the historic University of New Mexico campus. Van’s understanding and appreciation of the typology can be seen in the awards he has received for these venues including: 1999 Honor Award, SECTION 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS VAN H. GILBERT, AIA

EVOLVING NEW MEXICO’S ARCHITECTURE

New Mexico’s rich architectural heritage includes a diversity of design responses from the Na- tive Pueblos to the Pueblo Revival style, from the early missions to the re-interpretations of the Mission style, and finally to an appropriate modernism. What the best architecture of the region accomplishes is a timeless harmony with the striking natural environment and an accommodation of the challenging climate. Van ‘s work traverses the architectural territory and stakes a claim for a contemporary regionalism.

PRESERVATION One of the most important and influential architects to have worked in New Mexico, John Gaw Meem, created a remarkable legacy of Pueblo Revival style buildings throughout the state including many on the historic campus of the University of New Mexico, where he served as campus architect. The task of renovating and expanding his much admired buildings is freighted with responsibilities — to protect the design integrity, to respect their history, and to give these What the best architecture of the region accom- treasures the care and upgrading they require to plishes is a timeless harmony with the striking continue to serve the community. Van has taken up the challenge to renovate three significant natural environment and an accommodation Meem buildings and has won accolades for his of the challenging climate. Van ‘s work traverses efforts. the architectural territory and stakes a claim for a Meem’s Zimmerman Library, the Student Union and the Fine Arts Building have all been given contemporary regionalism. new life and continue to serve as landmarks that give identity and ambiance to the campus. Both Zimmerman and the Fine Arts Building have won Honor Awards from the American Institute of Architects, New Mexico Society among other honors. At the same time, their preservation serves to reinforce the value of the Pueblo Revival style at UNM and provides an important context for new buildings on the historic campus including Van’s Centennial Engineering Building and the Science and Math Learning Center.

CONTEMPORARY REGIONALISM “At home” within the context of the regional environment of landforms, colors, sky and light, Van has developed an architectural vocabulary that takes full advantage of the natural setting, the history and culture, traditional and modern materials and advanced technology. The design challenges of bold sun and heat, of an arid climate and spare landscape are also opportunities for Van to explore appropriate solutions from site design to the use of building mass as buffers, to articulated facades as shading, to windows that capture the views.

Van’s projects are consistently at one with their surroundings. On the University of New Mexico Campus, the new Science and Math Learning center interprets the Pueblo Revival style of the campus with a modern building that deploys the familiar massing, forms, materials and colors to create a sleek hi-tech image to match the state-of the art interiors. Situated in the midst of an ancient lava flow, the James Monroe Middle School is designed with a fusion of traditional pueblo building elements such as battered walls, natural rock, and deep set windows, interpreted in a contemporary design idiom. The 1,200-seat Music Hall at V. Sue Cleveland High School is anchored by a large window focused on the Sandia Mountains, a dramatic view whether day or night. SECTION 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS VAN H. GILBERT, AIA

2.1 SIGNIFICANT WORK

SUSTAINABILITY Growing up in the arid southwest awareness of limited resources is a fact of life. For Van, it has always informed his architecture — he was incorporating sustainable principles long before the U.S. Green Building Council LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification system came to be. Today his designs are returning measurable results in energy, cost saving and improved livability.

"TFBSMZBTJOIJTEFTJHOGPSUIF#JSEPG1SFZ #01 &YIJCJUBUUIF3JP(SBOEF;PP7BO implemented simple green design elements to benefit the well-being of the birds on display, to maximize the viewers encounter with the five species within the xe hibit, and to realize PQFSBUJPOBMDPTUTBWJOHTZFBSTMBUFS UIFFYIJCJUBOEJUTHSFFOFMFNFOUTBSFTUJMMGVODUJPOBM Over the year’s Mr. Gilbert’s other sustainable designs have included: an integrated trombe wall at the City of Albuquerque’s Lomas/Tramway Library, the study and use of Light Diffuser Technology at Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories, and the use of phase-change salt tubes in skylight wells to provide pre-heating for mechanical systems at the Youth Diag- nostic Development Center in Albuquerque.

ADVANCING ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION In the years since he received his Master of Architecture from the University of New Mexico (UNM), Van has maintained close ties to the School of the Architecture, mentoring young professionals in graduate design studios, and frequently serving on design studio and master’s degree juries. In 2005, the UNM School of Architecture and Planning recognized Van as the year’s Distinguished Alumnus for his contributions to the profession and community.

Further, the proposed new building designed by Antoine Predock, FAIA, a mentor to Van and his first me ployer, would be a landmark for the university and for SA+P — a state-of-art structure of unique expression for teaching and learning design..

The fund raising goal of $2M was enormous in economically constrained New Mexico. Un- deterred, Van assembled and led the campaign committee, ultimately raising just under $3 million, an amount unmatched by any previous UNM Department fund raising effort. To le- verage the exceptional community wide participation in the Capital Campaign, Van formed The Council for Design and Planning Excellence. As President of the Council, Van continues to promote and support the mission of the School of Architecture and Planning by inviting architectural professionals on the national level to lend their knowledge and expertise to the programs of the School, and by emphasizing the message of the importance of design quality to the community.

Van’s action agenda has put ideas in motion — concrete outcomes of forward thinking. Sandia Laboratories has been asked to assist in the development of animal monitoring and diagnosis equipment based on technology in the advanced stages of laboratory development.

Further, there is a second conference, also co-sponsored and led by Van planned for Novem- ber 2011 to address the idea of zoo and aquarium energy independence - 100% off- grid operation. This will necessitate new energy conservation approaches, affordable, renewable energy sources and the technologies and breakthroughs required for implementation. SECTION 2 ACCOMPLISHMENTS VAN H.

EXHIBIT 1 EXHIBIT 1 University of New Mexico Historic Campus Albuquerque, New Mexico Architecture Firm of Record for all Historic Campus Projects: Van H. Gilbert Architect PC Role of Nominee: Principal-in-Charge, Project Director for all the Historic Campus Projects Years of Completion: 1994 - 2011 The John Gaw Meem Campus The University of the New Mexico’s Historic Campus, the legacy of John Gaw Meem, is one of the fi nest collections of the Pueblo Revival Style buildings in the region and an architectural treasure. Meem’s tenure as the offi cial campus architect allowed him to develop his distinctive regional design style over many years, giving the campus a visual unity and sense of place befi tting its southwestern context. Van Gilbert spent his formative student years, as an undergrad and architectural graduate, on the university campus, studying in these buildings and developing an intimate relationship with Meem’s work. Van understood the opportunity to renovate, restore and expand three of Meem’s important buildings — Zimmerman Library, the Student Union and the Fine Arts Building — as a sacred trust that in many ways paralleled Meem’s eff ort to preserve the sensibilities of the indigenous architecture of the New Mexico Pueblos in his work. Further, Van recognized the value of extending the Pueblo Rival tradition in new buildings on the campus, albeit in an updated vocabulary that meets the demands of a modern university. The design of the new Centennial Engineering Center within the historic campus incorporates the Pueblo AWARDS design details characteristics of Meem’s work, while the Science and Math Learning Center is a contemporary interpretation of Meem’s design tenets. and Math Learning Center is a contemporary interpretation of Meem’s design tenets.

Zimmerman Library Historic Renovation and Additon, Shepley Bulfi nch, Associate Architect / 1994 Photography Courtesy: Alexander Vertikoff Built in 1938, Zimmerman Library is the iconic heart of the UNM campus, and Meem’s undisputed masterpiece. The renovation of Zimmerman Library restored the original portion of the library to its former elegance and added a new entry, space to house the Center for Southwest Research, a three-story underground archive, and the Latin American Research and Reading Room. Distinguished by deep set windows, buttressed walls, a portal and a variegated building mass, the addition is seamlessly integrated with the original building, capturing the harmony in scale, detail, and spirit of the Meem original. Placing the archive underground saved valuable campus land, maintained the campus view corridor, and expanded public gathering areas with the addition of Smith Plaza.

In the Student Union Building, the three-story atrium visually connects all building components and functions as an organizing element to interior circulation. All spaces are fresh, light, and open. The building’s exterior design features deep set windows, a long portal, upper level terraces, a tower element, colors of the earth, all assembled in a contemporary, harmonious extension of Meem design tenets. Together with the surrounding courtyards and shaded plaza seating areas, and new entryways, the building extends a welcome to the student community.

Fine Arts Center Renovation: BOORA, Associate Architect / 1996 Photography Courtesy: Kirk Gittings The Fine Arts Building, which includes Popejoy Hall, Keller Hall, and the Rodey Theatre, was transformed from a sterile academic building into a warm, inviting space that projects a strong sense of place and encourages lingering and social interaction during the school day, and before and after evening performances. The comprehensive interior renovation updated UNM’s performance hall from acoustics, to mechanical systems, to seating, and fi nishes, the result is a highly praised venue appropriate for symphonic performances and Broadway theatrical events.

“. . . The orchestra fi nds it an exceptionally easy stage to play on. The players hear each other extremely well and the sound created on stage is true and clear. The backstage facilities have been designed with care and foresight. . .”

Centennial Engineering Center Shepley Bulfi nch, Associate Architect / 2009 Photography Courtesy: Chas McGrath Located on the western edge of the University, the design of the Centennial Engineering Center refl ects UNM’s Pueblo Revival design roots — with portals, battered walls, fl at roofs, corbels, varied building mass, subordinate fenestrations, softened parapets and exterior corners, interior courtyards, a tower element, and earth colors. At the same time, it functions as a cutting-edge research facility housing the departments of Civil, Electrical, Chemical, Nuclear, and Biomedical Engineering. The building design furthers the Center’s functional fl exibility with two large lab blocks in an uninterrupted modular arrangement and two narrower wings of offi ces and instructional space. An interior open courtyard and two entry towers defi ne the engineering complex as a new campus doorway welcoming visitors to the campus.

Shepley Bulfi nch, Associate Architect / 2011 Photography Courtesy: Chas McGrath The Science and Math Learning Center continues the transformation of the University’s western boundary into a gateway to the technological center of the campus, without sacrifi cing the established sense of placed. Located in UNM’s Historic Campus between two buildings of smaller scale and near the Centennial Engineering Center, the building is a modern interpretation of Pueblo Revival style. With its focus on technology-rich spaces the SMLC accommodates a diversity of users and fosters innovation in a sustainable, energy-effi cient setting. The design unites the previously scattered mathematics department and integrates technology-rich chemistry and biology labs/ classrooms with a 200-seat auditorium, a visualization lab, ‘smart’ classrooms, and a cafe. Exterior detailing responds to the strong New Mexico sun with sophisticated sunshades and light shelves at the south facade.

Ê We are gratifi ed that the design team was able to fulfi ll the University’s commitment to sustainability,” said Van H. Gilbert,AIA, “and the diligent involvement of many UNM departments in the design process was key to the campus-wide commitment to a

(Phase I) Completion Date: Phase I August 2009/ Phase II March 2011 Photography Courtesy: Patrick Coulie and Chas McGrath Photography

As principal-in-charge, Van Gilbert lead the team on the planning and design of the V. Sue Cleveland High School, a high-performance, student-centered school that provides 2,400 students with a model learning environment supported by state-of-the-art technology, on-site resources, a collegiate atmosphere, and a sustainable campus promoting energy conservation and a healthy school.

To support the small learning communities required by the Rio Rancho School District’s “Learning Academy” approach to instruction, the design stacks identical academic houses on three levels, allowing academies to expand horizontally or vertically as enrollment fl uctuates. A secured “Main Street” plaza serves as a unifying link between the academies and the library, student center, lecture hall, specialty resource studio labs, core administration, food service, athletics/physical fi tness, and center for the performing arts. To encourage community engagement the design provides public access to the Athletic Complex, Performing Arts Center, and Lecture Hall. The high-technology infrastructure links students to their local and statewide community, bridging curricula to community resources.

Designed following USBGC LEED® principles and performance goals (certifi cation pending), the school is a hallmark of an environmental responsibility. The school’s environmental studies program is helping with LEED® documentation by assisting with the collection of

energy performance and daylighting data.

% s home to the School of Education, O’Donnell Hall’s new identity celebrates the profession of education in a light-fi lled, technology-rich environment. O’Donnell Hall is defi ned by a 40,000 square foot addition organized around a central atrium space and the total gutting of the original building. The three-story addition to the School establishes a new visual campus identity for the school. The reconfi gured original structure intersects the new addition in a seamless integration defi ned by a harmony of design details and sense of proportion.

O’Donnell Hall now provides fl exible classroom space able to adapt to NMSU’s changing needs. The design provides a technology interface for today’s systems and infrastructure that will adapt to the future. To foster energy effi ciency the building volumes are organized to concentrate classroom spaces separate from the offi ce function. Other building features include multi-functional classrooms, computer labs, distance learning facilities, a new lecture hall, and a learning theater. To achieve the facility envisioned by NMSU the design team worked in a collaborative manner with the building committee and all who were interested in determining the school’s needs and priorities.

New windows with high performance glazing allow for maximum light transmission with minimal heat gain. The windows are deep set with shading projections on the south windows. When the building walls were open, new insulation was added, another step in achieving a more sustainable building design.

EXHIBIT 6 AQUARIUM [PHASE I Albuquerque Biological Park / Albuquerque, New Mexico

Architecture Firm / Design Firm of Record: Van H. Gilbert Architect PC Role of Nominee: Van H. Gilbert, AIA / Principal-in-Charge, Project Director Year Completed: 1997 Photography Courtesy: Robert Reck / Albuquerque Biological Park / VHGA

Given his long involvement as the architect for the Albuquerque BioPark (Aquarium, Zoo and Botanical Gardens), where he has designed multiple projects, and his commitment to habitat and exhibit design, Van Gilbert was a clear choice for the master planning and design of the Aquarium. The fi rst phase exhibit, the Gulf of Mexico, interprets the journey of a drop of water from the headwaters of the Rio Grande River in Northern New Mexico, to the Gulf of Mexico where the Rio Grande empties into the vast saltwater sea. The Aquarium Compound designed to recall the pitched, tin roofed, village compounds of northern New Mexico where towns are arrayed around a central plaza set the stage for the exhibit.

While the Aquarium serves many functions, none more important to Van than the learning opportunities it creates. The 40 foot long, 8” thick, curved glazed window of the shark exhibit is a visitor favorite. The concave shape allows the visitor to feel engulfed within the exhibit. The expansive fl oor to ceiling window draws the visitors in, as though they are walking on the fl oor of the ocean among the sharks, sea turtles, barracuda, groupers, and rays. Exhibits include a 35,000-gallon coral reef tank, home to an assortment of colorful tropical fi sh, an eel tunnel where the visitor is surrounded by eels swimming overhead, and a shallow shores exhibit.

Complex exhibit design was required to meet the survival needs of the fi sh, to display them in their natural habitat, to recreate the undersea world using man made rocks, corals, and swaying vegetation, and to hide all vestiges of mechanics and pumps so that the visitor is transported into another world.

EXHIBIT 7 Imagine Zoos and Aquariums 2030 Co-Sponsor San Diego Zoo Global San Diego, California Architecture Firm of Record: N/A Design Firm: N/A Initiation Date: October 2010 and November 2011 Role of Nominee: Project Initiator and Organizer

Among his national colleagues in the zoo and aquarium community, Van H. Gilbert is recognized for his visionary leadership in the new era of exhibits. Realizing the need for a future-focused discussion on how advancing technologies can enhance the visitor experience, optimize educational value, and promote animal well-being, conservation and sustainability, he initiated a series of conversations that has created an ambitious agenda for greater relevance of zoos and aquariums a new platform for dialogue, and surprising new partnerships with private industry.

As recently as 2010, no one in the zoo and aquarium industry was talking about the potential impact of emerging new technologies on animal exhibits, the rapid adoption of hand-held devices and stunning advances in electronics and bio-medics. Seizing the moment, Van generated interest among colleagues and industry professionals which he leveraged into a partnership with San Diego Zoo Global (SDZG). Van and SDZG set out with a mission to address the future of exhibits, to identify the applications for technology and to engage participants from zoos and aquariums across the country in a discussion. By October 2010, Van and SDZG co-sponsored the “Imagine Zoos and Aquariums 2030 “ gathering some of the best minds in the fi elds of scientifi c research, education, fi nance, entertainment, bio-mechanics, bio-medicine, electronic engineers for the conference.

“Imagine” was the mantra for the discussions at “Aquariums and Zoos 2030.” Van set the conference framework and objectives and also played quite an active role in the brainstorm sessions. I was particularly impressed with his insight into what could be and his leadership in guiding the group towards concrete, practical paths forward. His considered and thoughtful approach kept the group engaged. I consider these imaginative ideas to be just what is needed to keep zoos and aquariums (and U.S. industry as a whole) relevant and responsive for the future.

With Van presenting and guiding the discussion the group addressed the immerging trends — animal aging, population aging, global connectivity, genetics, robotics, the nanotechnology, and environmental and energy issues —, and their impact over the next 30 years. More than just blue-sky ideas, Van pressed the group to fi nd alternate fi nancing for exhibits and technology, to provide funding options, and to assist in fi nding opportunities for funding partnerships. The conference yielded a public conversation, established a community committed to evaluating the future of exhibits, and a list of unanimous “action items.” In a January 2011 presentation to the AZA Board of Directors at their yearly meeting, Van reviewed the outcomes of the October 2010 conference and highlighted available technologies and their applications for zoos and aquariums including: Acoustic Wave Biosensor, ElectroNeedle, MicroChemLab, nanotech-nology, energy and ecology, robotics, and animal tagging and monitoring. Van supplemented the presentation with information about technology expected to be used in the coming years: nano-fi ltration, bar codes, virtual reality, social networking, face recognition, zoo apps, sensory deterrents, interactive exhibits, subcutaneous imbeds, and camoufl aging. The October 2010 conference was an important opportunity, allowing Van and SDZG to foster a partnership with Sandia Labs to develop two bio-medical devices and to develop further exhibit applications for hand-held devices. Van initiative launched a nation-wide movement with real momentum. Just one year after the fi rst conference the San Diego Zoo began working with Van on concepts for future exhibits. In August 2011, Van partnered with Johnson Controls, launching “Energy Effi ciency in Zoos and Aquariums” to help save energy, monetize the saving for future exhibits and promote conservation.

EXHIBIT 8 In Schools Science Education Initiative Albuquerque, New Mexico Architecture Firm of Record: N/A Design Firm: N/A Initiation Date: 2011 Role of Nominee: Project Initiator and Organizer Over a long career designing learning environments Van H. Gilbert has developed a profound understanding of the evolving needs of educators and students, as well as close working relationships with his clients in the schools and in the bio-park community. Recognizing the potential for an educational partnership that would connect local schools in need of greater resources for science education and the talented researchers, keepers and others at the Albuquerque Bio Park Zoo and the Aquarium, he began to explore the possibilities. The result is a pilot science education program that is streamed into classrooms and will be available as for hand-held devices. At the Albuquerque BioPark, where he has designed multiple projects, Van was intrigued by how the keepers and staff depended on science to maintain the health and wellbeing of the animals and by their deep knowledge of animal species — a wealth of knowledge that could be shared beyond the confines of the Park. Separately, his concerns about budgetary cuts impacting class offerings in local schools led him consider of how architecture could be part of a solution. Van broached the idea of a partnership with the BioPark Director and Education Director and the Superintendent of the Rio Rancho School District. All of them saw the opportunities and agreed to participate in structuring a series of lessons as a pilot program. Rio Rancho’s V. Sue Cleveland High School, a recent Van H. Gilbert Architect project, was selected as the beta site. The pilot program was a perfect opportunity to fully engage the school’s state-of-the-art technology package which the community funded through a bond issue to specifically provide students with innovative learning opportunities. Van also enlisted the expertise of Ovation Solutions, a video/multi-media production company, who agreed to produce the high- quality, professional footage, and to package it for web streaming.

“Mr. Gilbert has been involved in a rather unique learning experience, which provides our science staff and students with opportunities to partner with the Albuquerque BioPark. Equipping the building with incredible technology is just the beginning of helping teachers incorporate digital learning opportunities into their daily instruction. This project has helped our staff demonstrate how partnerships can greatly improve instruction by bringing the real world into the classroom. Additionally, our teachers enjoyed the opportunity to develop a very unique science-learning module.

The concept for InSchools is to link the expertise of science professionals with students, by providing educational video content aligned with State benchmarks and the curriculum requirements of the school district. InSchools can be streamed into classrooms fitted with the technology to support it, however remote. An initial local version will set a goal to develop versions for a wider audience. Van worked with the high school students, faculty and staff, the BioPark’s professional staff, and the videographers to conceptualize and produce educational videos and supplementary materials that would meet the requirements of several levels of school biology classes.

This Fall 2011, InSchools went live in the classroom. Content is streamed through the school’s Internet via LAN; the InSchools software allows the teacher to edit the lesson to select the content that best serves a particular lesson plan or grade level. Content is delivered to the students in and outside of class through hand-held “tablets” and smart phones. In addition, the software allows students and their families to have limited access at home. InSchools has the potential to expand to other knowledge- based institutions such as Sandia Labs, Intel, hospitals, or other highly sophisticated companies and organizations that can offer educational program and career inspiration.

I have personal knowledge of the nominee’s responsibility for the project listed above, and confi rm that this project was under the direction of Van H. Gilbert, AIA.
