Physical Sciences Complex at the University of Maryland 01Oct05 MAPP

Physical Sciences Complex Goals Create a center that reflects the mission and values of the many constituents Sustain a place for reflection, interaction and creative collaboration Advance speculation and knowledge in critical areas Support innovation, discovery, communication and application of the next “big ideas” Re-think the role of education and communication beyond the enduring purpose of preparation of future researchers and teachers: develop and implement a new model for education and communication in physical sciences Provide the physical environment required to support the experimental and educational programs of a first class research center for the physical sciences 01Oct05 MAPP

Manifestation of Mission, Values, and Goals in the Building Fabric Create a facility that is a didactic tool--an experiment in itself Design a complex that highlights the juxtaposition of old and new, tradition and invention Stake new revolutionary territory with the building fabric—its building technologies, systems, operation, and inhabitation Allow the building to become part of a sustainable future--use new applied material, system, and renewable energy technologies Conceive of the building and its site as a system of a higher order, rather than a collection or checklist of unrelated novel technologies 01Oct05 MAPP

Advantages of Phasing + All ties to Computer & Space Sciences Established First + Minimum impact on IPST through Phase I + Phase I West Atrium forms first linkages within the Complex + Central Atrium creates linkages through campus + Viable image and program mix in all phases 01Oct05 MAPP

atria and atrium streets bring light, life, and accessibility to all areas of the complex offices have views to exterior or skylit atrium streets offices are grouped with meeting spaces classrooms and public functions are easily accessible and part of the PSC community, yet separation is maintained from lab and faculty areas labs are located both below and above ground…underground labs have possibility of clerestory (high) daylight roof terraces are shaded by the canopy of the PV array the PSC presents a new face to the south, east and north Architectural & Program Notes
