Petchik, AIA Director of Facilities Planning & Construction Slide 2: The Design Charrette Campus & Project Goals Design Documents Integrated Design Phase Panelization Building Modeling LEED Commissioning Post Occupancy Proof Q&A Session The Collaboration of OPUS Hall Slide 3: Project Goals Adopting an owner led design build strategy creates advantages for all parties: Leverage university’s internal talent Create high performing team Adaptable and responsive to market conditions Nimble situational management Establish an environment that encourages innovative problem solving Owner at center of all decisions Slide 4: Project Goals The team is composed of a range of consultants who provide expertise: Programming Architectural Design Engineering Contracting Food Service Program Management Financing Landscape Design LEED Facilitation Slide 5: Project Goals The owner creates the framework… This is a new construction environment where owners – public and private alike, and especially in higher education – have deeper and broader expectations for building projects than ever before. And frankly we recognize that we have more choices for accomplishing them. We approach our building projects as opportunities not only to add value to our campus assets, but to provide attractive and functional places for a wide range of ever-changing programs. We also expect to showcase savvy leadership by delivering high quality outcomes in true partnership with construction professionals who share the same goals. Our projects today, will also be forever linked to us – thanks to our cyber-enabled business world, and google search engines. We better get them right, and produce a high quality result as a project team. Slide 6: Project Goals … What are the goals of the project Primary Goals Create sense of place Create community Support spiritual growth Conform to university standards Provide easy access Secondary Goals Support flexible function and program Complete residential zone Provide building finishes that age gracefully Slide 7: Project Goals Detailed requirements Hands-on approach All stakeholders at the table Ownership of program Size of space adjacencies Needs vs. “wants” Open to creativity Slide 8: Project Goals Detailed Specification Campus standards Minimum requirements Hardware University Standard: All hardware shall have BHMA 630, 652 and 689 finishes where applicable.

Impressive to be able to accomplish all of that … and we discover more to love every day we live in it.” “ I’m so proud to be able to live here ― the common areas are awesome ― and you would definitely hear about it if they were not!” “… the place is packed with residents and special event activity year-round ― both formal and informal gatherings.” Slide 95: The Design Charrette Campus & Project Goals Design Documents Integrated Design Phase Panelization Building Modeling Construction Post Occupancy Proof Q&A Session The Collaboration of OPUS Hall Slide 96: Design-Build Team Passes the Test at Catholic University of America The Collaboration of OPUS Hall Beth BuffingtonAIA, LEED AP Jim Lewis, RA, LEED AP Director of Architectural Systems Presented by: CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Carl A.

Impressive to be able to accomplish all of that … and we discover more to love every day we live in it.” “ I’m so proud to be able to live here ― the common areas are awesome ― and you would definitely hear about it if they were not!” “… the place is packed with residents and special event activity year-round ― both formal and informal gatherings.” Slide 95: The Design Charrette Campus & Project Goals Design Documents Integrated Design Phase Panelization Building Modeling Construction Post Occupancy Proof Q&A Session The Collaboration of OPUS Hall Slide 96: Design-Build Team Passes the Test at Catholic University of America The Collaboration of OPUS Hall Beth BuffingtonAIA, LEED AP Jim Lewis, RA, LEED AP Director of Architectural Systems Presented by: CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Carl A.
