Tradeline Conference: Fundamentals of Planning and Design of Animal Research Facilities

Date: 
Wednesday, October 4, 2023 -
12:00pm to 4:00pm

Address: 
Austin, TX
United States

Participants will come away with a basic understanding of the terminology, concepts, processes, standards, numbers, types of equipment, and furniture (as applicable) involved in the planning and design of animal research labs and support space including related mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. 

This course is designed for those involved in the planning, design, construction, or operation of animal research laboratories including project managers, architects, facility engineers, construction engineers, facility managers, facility planners, biosafety professionals, EH&S personnel, veterinarians, and researchers employed at colleges and universities, medical facilities, pharmaceutical facilities, A/E/C firms, government health centers, and public health labs.

Presenting:

  • Stephen Lahti, PE, LEED AP BD+C, Project Manager, (Vanderweil Engineers) 
  • Hunter Nezat, AIA, CDT, LEED AP, Project Manager - Senior Associate (Perkins + Will)

I2SL Annual Conference: Design for Decarbonization and Resiliency

Date: 
Monday, October 23, 2023 -
1:30pm to 3:00pm

Address: 
Anaheim, CA
United States

The speakers will present design strategies and analysis used on recent projects to reduce carbon and increase resiliency, resulting in an 85% to 95% reduction in natural gas and greenhouse gas emissions to fully electric lab buildings. They will discuss strategies to make labs future-ready to address changing environmental regulations. Specific key issues that will be addressed include battery storage and renewables to manage peak electrical demands, design for grid resiliency, and envelope analysis. The presentation will highlight both public sector and private sector projects and discuss the different risk profiles of each client type.

Presenting:

  • Patrick Murphy, PE, LEED AP BD+C, Director of Sustainable Design (Vanderweil Engineers)
  • Anica Landreneau, Senior Principal, Global Director of Sustainable Design (HOK) 

 

I2SL Annual Conference: Pennovation Works - Sustainability Growing the University of Pennsylvania's Life Science Ecosystem

Date: 
Monday, October 23, 2023 -
3:30pm to 5:00pm

Address: 
Anaheim, CA
United States

Pennovation project is a 484,000 sf state-of-the-art Class A core and shell laboratory, office and cGMP manufacturing facility that purposefully investigated and integrated sustainable design features to enhance the site’s unique opportunities.  The new facility design utilizes USGBC’s LEED Green Rating System as both a design guide and measure for achievement. This integrated approach entailed investigating the building aesthetics, site selection, material specification, cost, and engineering systems design.

This presentation will feature the detailed analysis concerning the project’s unique access to utilize Philadelphia’s District Steam utility. This analysis entails comparing the utilization of the District Steam heat source to a traditional natural gas boiler system and an all-electric system. In addition, this session will delve into the team’s processes and results directly related to the topics of site selection, biodiversity, embodied carbon (foundations, concrete, and steel), and heat recovery/pre-heat options. The presentation will also include the adaption of flexibility of sustainable utility systems to provide world-class manufacturing and laboratory spaces that can readily accommodate a variety of scientific endeavors.  Finally, the site enhancements to be shown will entail the creation of a pedestrian-oriented environment that leverages the Schuykill River Trail and visually connects the Pennovation Works campus to the University of Pennsylvania’s campus. 

Presenting:

  • Frank Angelini, Principal - Life Science (Vanderweil Engineers)
  • Harez Rasoul, Senior Project Manager (Longfellow Real Estate Partners)
  • Robert Rumburg, AIA, Architect (Jacobs)
