Our firm is experienced in conducting needs assessments and design of Public projects in general, including educational facilities, and laboratories in particular. We also have extensive experience in building renovations and re-use. We have previously had the pleasure of working with the U of O in creating numerous labs within existing science buildings. Our proposed staff and consultants, and project references are included under the last two sections in this response. The firm’s selection process contact person is Loren Berry, who would also serve as the project Architect of Record. Email [email protected]. Thank you for considering our firm for this important project. We look forward to again serving the University of Oregon. Sincerely, Loren R. Berry, FCSI, CDT, AIA Principal 1. BUILDING RE-USE SKILL Demonstrating your team’s overall design skill and ability to create designs for building re-use that breathe new life into old buildings, create attractive research and learning environments that students and faculty want to use, provide excellent energy-efficient enhancements, and creative yet sound results that will benefit the University for decades to come. LOREN BERRY ARCHITECT experience with previous University of Oregon science laboratories is discussed under heading #2. The firm is experienced in creating designs for building re-use, bringing new life into old buildings. Examples are described and shown below, or under the Reference Projects heading at the end of this document. These projects include: • City of Ashland Community Development and Engineering Services Building • City of Eugene Police Forensics Evidence & Property (includes Crime Laboratory) • City of Eugene Police Headquarters Building • Oregon Eye Consultants • SELCO Community Credit Union, Portland, Oregon and an example learning environment: • Glide High School Reconstruction/Expansion Community Development & Engineering Services Building City of Ashland, Oregon The project consisted of the conversion of an existing Shriner’s Temple to a City office building. The renovation of 6,500 sq. ft. and addition of 3,900 sq. ft. houses the City’s Community Development and Public Works Administration & Engineering Departments. The building is located in the downtown area adjacent to Ashland Creek and Winburn Way across from beautiful Lithia Park. Lobby Exterior entrance Conference Room Police Headquarters City of Eugene, Oregon We have provided architectural services to the City of Eugene on numerous interior renovation projects, as well as new facilities, including police and fire. The Police Headquarters project was one of the most recent, though not the last. LOREN BERRY ARCHITECT served as Police Design Consultant to PIVOT Architects of Eugene. Services included space needs assessment and concept design for the conversion of a Country Club Road office building. This is significant in that space was needed to be found for all the police operations within an undersized existing building and within a limited budget. LOREN BERRY ARCHITECT / U OF O – PACIFIC HALL BASEMENT & FIRST FLOOR LABORATORIES Page - 2 Glide High School Reconstruction & Additions Glide, Oregon The high school project consisted of 2 phases: • Phase A: New Library & Science Building • Phase B: Addition of auxiliary gym and lobby; renovation of main gym, locker rooms, and classrooms, new windows, siding, and renovated HVAC and plumbing systems. Two other overlapping phases included: • Phase C-1: Renovation of Middle School plumbing. • Phase C-2: Renovation of Elementary School HVAC and plumbing, new windows and flooring. Completion of all phases: 2010 Construction Cost: $8,000,000 Glide High School Campus Reconstruction Glide High School Main Gymnasium Entrance LOREN BERRY ARCHITECT / U OF O – PACIFIC HALL BASEMENT & FIRST FLOOR LABORATORIES Page - 3 2. CEING SIIL SES & SYSTEMS Demonstrating specific experience with creating buildings, systems, and spaces likely to be found in this Project, including: a. 21st century laboratories that are attractive, human-scaled work environments that are also friendly to change and adaptation over many decades; b. Collaborative work areas and shared spaces that foster interaction while also supporting individual tasks; c. Design for future flexibility at little or no cost premium; d. Lean construction approaches that provide maximum long-term effectiveness yet use resources extremely effectively; and e. Renovation of existing buildings to insert 21st century research labs. Our firm has provided architectural services for several U of O laboratories. We have also designed a number of police forensics laboratories. Additionally, we have designed high school science labs.

U O & SE SNDDS EXPERIENCE Demonstrating experience with designing buildings meeting the standards similar to those of the institution and the State of Oregon, including: a. Highly sustainable projects that push the envelope for sustainable design in ways that maximize environmental performance without excessive cost: • Policies similar to the University of Oregon Model for Sustainable Development (OMSD) as described in Campus Plan Policy 10 b. Projects designed within the framework of the University’s Campus Plan or similar requirements. LOREN BERRY ARCHITECT has long employed sustainable design principles beyond those that would be categorized as merely good building practices. Two projects for the City of Eugene serve as examples: Fire Station #11 and The Forensic Evidence & Property Control Police Facility. City staff and LOREN BERRY ARCHITECT’S team members carefully analyzed strategies for sustainability, considering benefits and costs, resulting in the application of a number of strategies. Strategies for the Police Facility included: Sustainable strategies for Fire Station #11 included: • On site storm water detention. • On site storm water detention • Bioswales. • Driveway apron drainage system with • Building orientation for optimum diverter allowing switching from storm daylighting. drain to sanitary sewer during truck • Daylighting; especially for evidence and washing. property storage, and laboratory spaces. • Radiant heating system for apparatus bays. • Daylight and motion control light • Solar hot water heating. switching. • Shower waste water heat exchanger. • Use of local materials • Daylighting. • Use of local materials City of Eugene Fire Station #11 Ashland Community Development and Engineering Services Building Another public facility in which the firm applied significant sustainable principals was the City of Ashland Community Development and Engineering Services Building, where extensive use of skylights and clerestory window lighting was used, along with multiple level lighting controls, among other applications. SOLARC Engineering and Energy + Architectural Consulting has developed one of the most highly respected Energy Efficiency Analysis teams in the region.
