If you’re attending the Tradeline’s University Facilities 2018 Conference, you can catch Payette Associate Principal Sarah Lindenfeld, AIA discuss our UT Austin Welch Hall Renovation project. This year’s conference will be held on May 5-6, 2018 in Austin, Texas.
From Master Plan to Materialized Building Renovation: Budget, Scope, and Renovation Strategies
This session charts a course for successfully advancing a master space plan element through to construction completion. Session leaders call upon the Welch Hall renovation project at UT Austin to demonstrate how the long-term vision and strategic priorities identified in the master plan were translated to a renovation project that meets key drivers. They illustrate how challenges with building size, scope, and funding were alleviated through innovative decisions throughout the programming phase, and they detail strategies to balance ideal program configuration vs. disruption and cost, and identify efficiencies through shared-use of space.

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center recently completed a new inpatient building in the heart of Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. A rich texture and palette of materials adorn the wall along the base of the building. Polished black granite forms the watercourse and seat walls, warm gray granite is used on the large wall panels, and an alternating texture of black granite, green glazed terracotta, and weathered steel is applied to the vertical recesses between the granite wall panels.
This design accentuates key elements in the landscape and introduces an intimate human scale and craftsmanship to the pedestrian realm.
