This project represents a complete revitalization of the science facilities at Le Moyne College including a new 47,700 square foot addition and the complete renovation of the 64,440 square foot existing facility. Programs include Biology, Nursing, Physician Assistant, Chemistry and Physics. The goal for the project was to create a state of the art science facility on the campus, carefully integrated into the overall campus master plan, and incorporating innovative sustainability strategies.
Our first priority was to design an effective science teaching facility. Careful integration of classroom and laboratory spaces with faculty offices, support spaces and common areas create multiple opportunities for collaboration and learning. Science is celebrated not just within the state-of-the-art laboratories, but also throughout the public spaces. It is hoped that the design will not only provide better facilities for the science majors, but also bring more awareness of the sciences to the entire student body.
Ashley McGraw fully examined the addition’s massing and overall passive sustainability strategies. The building massing is designed with two major goals in mind; respecting the character of the campus and maximizing energy efficiency. The outer perimeter of the addition will reflect the traditional character and orientation of the rest of campus. At the same time, the inner courtyard wall is turned to the south to significantly increase energy efficiency.
The south wall, our “energy wall,” uses sophisticated passive solar technologies to improve energy performance. The primary passive strategy is an extensive transpired, or solar pre-heat, wall that uses energy directly from the sun to preheat the ventilation air in the building. For a laboratory building with significant ventilation requirements, this is a very effective strategy. The south wall also provides high-quality daylighting for the lab spaces behind. The building is 35% more energy efficient than the ASHRAE baseline and is LEED Gold Certified.
