Biosafety Cabinets In Laboratory Planning, Carrington Crities, Amy Peterson, Nicholas Papaefthimiou, Tucker Jones, Zgf Architects
Research-Based Design Initiative
The purpose of this research and white paper is to design architectural module layouts for practical laboratory use by integrating biosafety cabinets (BSCs) in replacement of traditional fume hood ducting systems and discuss the findings. The desired outcome of this work is to use knowledge gained from research to propose potential BSC layouts within a laboratory type building, and how BSCs can benefit laboratory design. Based on advantages and restrictions between each BSC class, BSCs are strategically placed in appropriate locations throughout the structure. The results show that implementing BSCs reduces the floor-to-floor height and allows for more flexible module …

Research-Based Design Initiative
The object of this research was to conduct a material analysis of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon Church in Bend, Oregon designed by Hacker Architects (Portland, Oregon). This research produced an infographic narrative depicting the place of origin of the raw form of the primary building materials used in the church: wood, steel, stone, and concrete. An investigation of the project specifications and the material submittals developed the basis for this graphic narrative. The providers, contacted by the research students, gave insight into the initial sourcing location of the raw form of the material. This research examined a …

Barriers To Mass Timber Adoption Mid To High-Rise Buildings, Bianca Viggiano, Chad Wallace, Corey T. Griffin
Research-Based Design Initiative
Advancements in technology and manufacturing have provided the means to construct tal l wood buildings that are safe and cost effective while gaining the aesthetic and environmental benefits associated with mass timber. The objective of this research is to identify perceived barriers of the integration of mass timber as a desirable bui lding material for architects and structural engineers. Building on a previous study, surveys wi ll be distributed to professionals in the building science field to detect information gaps pertain ing to wood as a viable alternative to concrete in mid to high - rise applications.
