BOARD
OF VISITORS CONSENT AGENDA
- A.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES, SCOTT STADIUM EXPANSION-PARKING:
Approval of the architectural design guidelines.
- The
Scott Stadium Expansion project includes the construction of a
parking facility. Because of the need for different expertise
from that required to build the stadium, the University advertised
separately for a parking consultant. The selection of Rich and
Associates of Southfield, Michigan as architect for the parking
component of the project was approved on October 2, 1997. The
consultant has completed an analysis of different parking options
around the Grounds. The current proposal calls for the facility
to be constructed at the south end of Scott Stadium in the Bryant
Hall parking lot. Rich and Associates in conjunction with the
Architect for the University has developed architectural design
guidelines.
- ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
- The
President will propose the adoption of the following resolution:
- RESOLVED
that the architectural design guidelines, dated January 23, 1998,
and prepared by Rich and Associates of Southfield, Michigan, for
the parking component of the Scott Stadium Expansion project are
approved;
- RESOLVED
FURTHER that the project will be presented for further review
at the schematic design level of development.
- Inherent
in these Guidelines is the intent and scope of the Vision Statement
for the Buildings and Grounds of the University of Virginia, adopted
by the Board of Visitors on May 21, 1991. The Vision Statement
will be the primary reference for the overall design and planning
of the project.
- Approximately
250 surface parking spaces (which accommodate parkers on non-game
as well as game days) will be lost as a result of the planned
Scott Stadium expansion, and must be replaced. To determine the
best location for their replacement, 14 sites were evaluated on
the basis of criteria related to master plan considerations, access,
functionality, financial feasibility, and constructibility. The
preferred site, at the south end of Scott Stadium, can accommodate
400-450 spaces at grade level plus two supported levels.
- It
is intended that the resulting structure will bridge the low ground
between Bryant Hall and Stadium Road, providing at its upper level
pedestrian and vehicular access to and from the east and west
sides of the stadium. The structure should provide a welcome transition
between the height of the upper stands and the residential-scale
buildings east of Stadium Road; its façade will utilize
brick and precast concrete and will be designed as an integral
extension of the stadium. A landscaped buffer on Stadium Road
should capitalize on the handsome existing stand of white pines.
- B.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES, STUDENT RESIDENCE HALL:
Approval of the architectural design guidelines.
- This
project is the second phase of the Cauthen House project. The
residence hall will house 140 students. It will be similar in
appearance and layout to Cauthen House, but will not have the
ground floor classroom spaces. The architect for the project is
Hanbury Evans Newill Vlattas of Norfolk, who was the architect
for the Cauthen House. Their original contract included the design
of Cauthen House and the current residence hall. Hanbury Evans
Newill Vlattas in conjunction with the Architect for the University,
has developed architectural design guidelines.
- ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
- The
President will propose the adoption of the following resolution:
- RESOLVED
that the architectural design guidelines, dated January 23, 1998,
and prepared by Hanbury Evans Newill Vlattas of Norfolk, Virginia,
for the Student Residence Hall are approved;
- RESOLVED
FURTHER that the project will be presented for further review
at the schematic design level of development.
- Inherent
in these Guidelines is the intent and scope of the Vision Statement
for the Buildings and Grounds of the University of Virginia, adopted
by the Board of Visitors on May 21, 1991. The Vision Statement
will be the primary reference for the overall design and planning
of the project.
- These
design guidelines are intended for a new 140-bed residence facility
to augment the housing offerings and Residence Life Program in
the Alderman Road Residential Community. The building is terraced
into the hillside West of Dunnington House and South of Lile House.
The site was selected from among twelve potential building sites
studied in the Alderman Road Residential Community.
- The
proposed four-story building will be similar to Cauthen House,
with a central main wing and two subordinate wings. The North
and South wings are set at an angle to the central mass to allow
the building to follow the contours of the site and to relate
to the adjacent buildings. The North Wing will be oriented parallel
to Lile House and the South wing will be turned parallel to Fitzhugh
House. The North wing steps back from the central mass to provide
an exterior entrance terrace accessible to the road and pedestrian
paths.
- The
building will be similar in architectural form, character and
materials to Cauthen House and will complement the existing Alderman
Road residence houses. Student rooms will have "punched"
window openings with minimal facade embellishment concentrated
at entries and lounges. The primary exterior finish is brick with
architectural precast concrete trim elements. The building will
have a hipped shingle roof with broad overhangs.
- C.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES, CLINCH VALLEY COLLEGE FOOTBALL
FACILITY: Approval of the architectural design guidelines.
- Clinch
Valley College is proposing an Athletics complex that will enhance
the student experience by improving opportunities for intercollegiate
and intramural competition and by accommodating a variety of academic
events. The football facility is the first project in the complex.
It will have an artificial turf field, bleacher seating for 2000,
and support spaces. The playing surface will be in place for the
1998 football season with the project completed by the beginning
of the 1999 season. The selection of Thompson+Litton of Wise,
Virginia as project architect was approved on August 21, 1997.
Architectural design guidelines for the complex were approved
by the Committee in July, 1993. Thompson+Litton in conjunction
with the Architect for the University has revised these guidelines
to reflect current goals and objectives.
- ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
- The
President will propose the adoption of the following resolution:
- RESOLVED
that the architectural design guidelines, dated January 23, 1998,
and prepared by Thompson+Litton of Wise, Virginia, for the Clinch
Valley College Football Facility are approved;
- RESOLVED
FURTHER that the project will be presented for further review
at the schematic design level of development.
- Inherent
in these Guidelines is the intent and scope of the Vision Statement
for the Buildings and Grounds of the University of Virginia, adopted
by the Board of Visitors on May 21, 1991. The Vision Statement
will be the primary reference for the overall design and planning
of the project.
- The
project is located to the west of the existing campus about a
mile and a half from the town of Wise. The site is naturally shielded
and softened by the wooded corridor bordering Darden Drive, the
access route at the southern edge of the campus and the Athletic
Precinct. The project has little impact on the adjacent forest
tree lines and incorporates an existing picnic area as the site
for the beginning of the pedestrian access to the site from the
main campus.
- The
project site consists of challenging topography set on top of
a series of level plateaus created over reclaimed surface mined
land, much with deep, uncontrolled fill material. The site is
separated topographically from the campus by a large, reforested
hilltop.
- This
project will be designed and built in two separate phases. Phase
one will consist of site and utility work necessary to install
a new artificial turf playing field for varsity and intramural
football, as well as a new natural turf practice field. Phase
two will include the construction of a stadium with home and visitor
seating, multistory pressbox, ticket booths, toilets, concessions,
parking lot with access road and a paved, landscaped entry plaza.
- This
project will establish a strong foundation for the completion
of the Athletic Precinct in future phases when intramural fields,
fieldhouse and convocation centers are constructed.
- D.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES, CLARK HALL RENOVATION AND
ADDITION: Approval of the architectural design guidelines.
- The
project will renovate Clark Hall and will provide additions for
the Department of Environmental Sciences and the Science and Engineering
Library. The current authorization is for planning through schematic
design and is funded by general funds. Construction funding has
been included in the Governor’s proposed budget for 1998-2000.
The selection of Ellenzweig Associates of Cambridge, Massachusetts
as project architect was approved on September 20, 1996. Ellenzweig
Associates in conjunction with the Architect for the University
has developed architectural design guidelines.
- ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
- The
President will propose the adoption of the following resolution:
- RESOLVED
that the architectural design guidelines, dated January 23, 1998,
and prepared by Ellensweig Associates of Cambridge, Massachusetts,
for the Clark Hall Renovation and Addition are approved;
- RESOLVED
FURTHER that the project will be presented for further review
at the schematic design level of development.
- Inherent
in these Guidelines is the intent and scope of the Vision Statement
for the Buildings and Grounds of the University of Virginia, adopted
by the Board of Visitors on May 21, 1991. The Vision Statement
will be the primary reference for the overall design and planning
of the project.
- These
guidelines are intended for the additions to and renovation of
Clark Hall in order to provide additional space and improve the
quality of the existing space for the current occupants, the Science
and Engineering Library and the Department of Environmental Sciences.
Clark Hall is located on McCormick Road and is bordered by Halsey
Hall to the east, Kerchof Hall to the south, and Emmet Street
to the west.
- Clark
Hall's exterior appearance exemplifies the architectural order
of surrounding structures and those in the nearby Academical Village.
The building has a two-story brick façade on the north,
a similar three-story façade on the south due to the slope
of the site, and a combination of hipped slate roof forms and
flat roofs. Additions to the east and west have been more recently
constructed and are sympathetic to the character of the original
building. The form and materials of the planned additions are
intended to maintain the existing architectural order while also
accommodating the significantly differing programmatic needs of
the two user groups. Interior renovations will seek to restore
clarity of organization and raise the quality of the spaces to
current standards.
- The
site constraints and internal organization of Clark Hall suggest
an addition for the Library to the south and an addition for the
Department of Environmental Sciences to the east. Both additions
will maintain the predominant roofline of Clark Hall. The slope
of the site to the east will allow an additional occupiable story
for Environmental Sciences without overshadowing Clark or Halsey.
The primary entrance for both user groups will remain off McCormick
Road, maintaining Clark Hall’s presence on the Grounds.
- E.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES, EAST PRECINCT CHILLER PLANT:
Approval of the architectural design guidelines.
- The
East Precinct Chiller Plant will ultimately provide an additional
6,000 tons of chilled water for the east precinct of the Health
Sciences Center. The project will support the new Biomedical Engineering
and Medical Research Building, allow the retirement of aging,
inefficient building chillers, and provide redundant service to
the hospital. The $7,800,000 budget includes general funds, utility
improvement funds, gifts and grants, indirect cost recoveries,
and hospital revenues. The University currently has a $810,000
planning authorization. The Governor has included construction
funding in his proposed budget for 1998-2000. The selection of
RMF Engineering as project engineer was approved on November 7,
1997. RMF Engineering in conjunction with the Architect for the
University has developed architectural design guidelines.
- ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
- The
President will propose the adoption of the following resolution:
- RESOLVED
that the architectural design guidelines, dated January 23, 1998,
and prepared by RMF Engineering of Baltimore, Maryland, for the
East Precinct Chiller Plant are approved;
- RESOLVED
FURTHER that the project will be presented for further review
at the schematic design level of development.
- Inherent
in these Guidelines is the intent and scope of the Vision Statement
for the Buildings and Grounds of the University of Virginia, adopted
by the Board of Visitors on May 21, 1991. The Vision Statement
will be the primary reference for the overall design and planning
of the project.
- The
site selected for the new Chiller Plant is south of the MR-4 Building
and currently functions as a surface parking lot. It is located
on the southern edge of the UVA property bordered by the railroad
tracks.
- The
proposed Chilled Water Plant will consist of a thermal storage
tank approximately 75 feet tall and 75 feet in diameter, located
to the southwest of Building MR-4, and adjacent to the railroad
tracks.
- The
proposed building will appear to be an addition to the Building
MR-4 and will be similar to it in mass and scale. Due to its location
and the surrounding Medical Center buildings, the new building
will not be highly visible from other buildings on the University
campus. However, from the south and east of the site, the new
building will be visible, and must be treated architecturally
to maintain the University’s positive visual image as seen from
the surrounding neighborhood. The materials to be used will include
brick, cast stone and painted metal in a way that complements
the scale and articulation of Building MR-4 without disguising
its function. The proposed form will be derived from the physical
requirements of the thermal storage tank and its associated requirements,
and will be manipulated to derive the most pleasing architectural
response for the site.
- F.
ASSIGNMENT OF PAVILION IV: Approval of the extension of
the Elzinga lease for Pavilion IV.
- Professor
and Mrs. Elzinga were assigned Pavilion IV by the Board in 1992,
with the lease to begin on November 30th of that year;
the lease was to remain in force until November 29, 1997. This
action extends the lease for five years.
- ACTION
REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee
and the Board of Visitors.
- The
President will propose the adoption of the following resolution:
- RESOLVED
that Pavilion IV be assigned to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth G. Elzinga
until November 29, 2002. Mr. Elzinga is Professor of Economics.
