Fourth Semester Project

Design of new EAL Campus, locates in Odense. 

 

The project was based on the new campus for the Lillebaelt Academy of Professional Higher Education, which is a publicly funded educational institution, is building a new campus with the aim of collecting all its different departments and educations in one location near the city center of Odense. The project is contracted as a design and built construction contract, with an architectural competition to form the basis for the project. The location of the project is the Wittenborgplot near Odense Harbor, in continuation with Seebladsgade and adjacent to Næsbyvej to the east and Ejlskovsgade to the south.

 

The architectural competition resulted in a project proposal, which was processed further in a 3D working method, BIM (Building Information Modelling) process and documented in the Project Organization, Conceptualization, Project Proposal, Preliminary Project and Main Project outputs, partially in accordance to The Building and Planning Manual of 2012.

 

The project complied the all requirements in the Local Plan and according the client wishes the building energy consumption was optimized to meet the energy requirements of 2015 or better. In order to complied with the requirements regarding power consumption, an analysis was carried out in order to investigate the possibilities of establishing/integrate alternative sources of energy.

 

The client wish was uses and features built into the building: 

Basement plan with space for storage, technical installations and escape route from the Auditorium, etc.

The ground floor is the entrance level of the new campus. Here is the arrival area/reception, canteen facilities, exhibition area, lab area, access to the auditorium as well as a number of service areas. The 1st floor contains Library zone, roof gardens, lecturers preparation areas, school administration, classrooms and student lounges. In the 2., 3. and 4. floors contain classrooms, project spaces, conference rooms and lecturers preparation areas.

 

The choice of materials and assembly details were relatively undetermined, and the final proposal for the client was thoroughly described with material and construction analysis. The building parts is a mix of light and heavy structures. The overall load bearing system is carried out using primarily concrete and steel in combination with concrete slabs, steel beams and concrete cores.

 

The design method BIM was used as extensively as possible and the class functions as one big architectural studio to carrying out the semester project. During Detail Design 2, I was responsible for analyzing and researching the landscape and roofing contractor materials to propose a suitable idea for the extensive green roof for Block 1. 

 

Finally, we had the course about Facility Management last month of fourth semester, which was more oriented on life cycle of all elements include in a building.  

 

In project has been used software: Revit Architecture, Sigma, Microsoft Office Pack, Microsoft Project, Therm and Be-10.
