“Creative people need different spaces for different moods and activities. These environments shape perceptions and help determine behavior and mind set”

“Creative people will work whenever and wherever they feel comfortable and inspired. Their workspaces can be as large as a cityscape or as small as a napkin.”

“Measuring creativity is impossible, seeing its effects is easy.”

“Creative people like random and evolving connections, places, as well as knowledge”

“Cultures and places with diverse contexts for life. Work, and play attract creative people” “Creative people are always on”

CONCEPT

The Living Pattern Dynamic A recognizable sequence of static or active events to be connected by through consecutive or inconsecutive rhythms or biorhythms.

Patterns unify and bring emphasis to diversity. Both the complex and simplistic elements which compose the realities known to humankind are defined by a network of patterns, sequences, rhythms, symbols, and systems. These orders of operations defined by mathematical function and natural phenomenon govern how all things in our world communicate and thrive within an environment which is both evident and recognizable in whole systems and then with careful acknowledgement at molecular level.

INSPIRATION

Reference Inspiration for this project has been pulled from multiple art & design styles and periods, architectural features and patterns. Inspiration has also been pulled from patterns that are rel-evant in all aspects of life, art, design and architecture.

PROJECT

Parameters The redevelopment of the JCRS strip mall located in Lake-wood Colorado and directly adjacent to Rocky Mountain Col-lege of Art + Design’s campus will become RMCAD Boroughs. RMCAD Boroughs will enhance and become an anchor for RMCAD’s unique art and design community. RMCAD Bor-oughs is a community that will support student life, growth and experience by providing students with opportunities to engage in recreation and academics creatively.

RMCAD Boroughs will be a much needed addition to the ever growing campus of Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design and will provide students, faculty and staff a creative environ-ment to learn, practice, work and play.

The project scope will include a market style café, coffee shop and spaces for students to gather and socialize. The Center for Sustainable Design which will lead RMCAD’s sustainable studies within the campus as well as serve as a model and resource for the local community. The Student Center will provide multiple spaces to support multiple student groups such as Student Government. This facility will also house, multiple break out or quiet spaces for students to work, addi-tional gallery spaces, conference rooms and classrooms. The Recreation Center will be a facility that is exclusively for Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design. This facility will accommo-date a climbing center, aquatic center, multiple fitness rooms, yoga studio and indoor track.

Sustainable design strategies will be incorporated throughout the entire project scope from planning stages to construction management strategies. Careful consideration has been made in the selection of finishes, furniture, fixtures and equipment. In addition, RMCAD’s current commitments to sustainabil-ity will hold fast within RMCAD Boroughs. Additionally, the precepts of Biophillia will serve as a consistent premise for the process and design of this project. Respect and responsibility to people, planet and place for current and future generations will become a RMCAD standard.

CLIENT PROFILE BRIEF

BUILDING 1

MARKET STYLE CAFÉ & COFFEE SHOP

The Borough’s MarketThe juxtaposition of the market style café, coffee shop and diversity of seating arrangements creates a diverse and dynamic experience. Patrons of this space have choice. The Borough’s Market will offer many choices from grab and go for those in a time crunch to a freshly prepared meal that can be ordered from The Line. A variety of fresh and organic options will be available on a daily basis. The café will be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as late night hours to ac-commodate students working late on campus. Standing on its own as a separate space within the Borough’s Market is Mixed Café. While the Borough’s Market will provide patrons with a variety of beverages, Mixed Café will specialize in the craft of brewing coffee. Patron’s can grab a cup of coffee to go or choose to enjoy their caffeinated beverage while they work in the café.

To compliment The Borough’s Market and Mixed Café the design of the facility yields itself to a variety of seating choices which can support large groups for meetings both academic and social. The design of space is also supportive of those those who prefer to enjoy their time independently.

DesignThe open space plan is defined by multiple seating arrange-ments and 3Form partitions which aid in directing circulation and organized movement through the space. The color pallet for the space as a whole speaks to the intrinsic qualities of the materials used such as a variety of metals, dark woods, steel, and concrete complimented by bright bursts of color which bring vitality into the space.

The living wall and interior plantings also bring the richness of nature indoors while bringing emphasis to the color pallet with a full range of green hues. Natural daylight will flood the space during waking hours with natural light through a combi-nation of skylights and sola tubes.

Market Style Café & Coffee ShopThese images have been included to provide a clear vision of how these particular furniture pieces and lighting fixtures can interact within the space.

THE BRIDGE

The BridgeThis architectural feature will connect RMCAD Boroughs to the existing campus on the exterior through a pathway. On the interior the bridge will provide a quiet space for occupants to rest, relax or work. The Bridge also yields itself as an event or lecture space as it can support a group of people up to 20 in number. A translucent unitized curtain wall system by Kalwall brings views and the environment indoors while bringing architectural emphasis to the exterior.

Construction MethodsThe Bridge will require new construction. Structural steel gird-ers, beams and columns will be used to construct a structural skeleton frame to support the curtain wall system and metal floor deck on concrete slab. The structural steel will be left exposed and will be treated with fire rated coating to meet fire resistant and corrosion qualifications.

THE STUDENT CENTER

The Student Center The student center is an environment where students live, thrive and grow. The primary function of this space is to sup-port student life and student lead activities. The semi-open floor plan allows flexibility and change as well as support large group activities, and providing areas of refuge.

Space for the various student groups and organizations has been given an office like arrangement with workstations, conference rooms and collaborative spaces. Gallery space is incorporated throughout the entire design.

Additionally, breakout spaces, lounge spaces, and areas of refuge have been incorporated into the overall design to give students a sense of place.

DEMOGRAPHICS

Case Lakewood covers an area of about 44.7 square miles with a population of 144,000 people, with a density of 3,225 persons per mile. Male to Female ratio is roughly a 50/50 break out. Demographically Lakewood population is Cauca-sian with a median age of 36. Median Household income is 42,000 and the cost of living index for this area is

The city of Lakewood, Colorado, located just west of Denver, is nestled against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The community is served by five major highways, including Interstate 70, Colorado 470, and U.S. Highway 6, which provide a direct route to Denver, Boulder and the mountains. Lakewood has over 1200 acres and 85 sites of City-owned formally developed and undeveloped parkland.

The people who live and work in the Lakewood area have an abundance of recreational opportunities year round. Lakewood’s location is within minutes of the mountains to the west, the City of Denver to the east and the City of Boulder to the north.

In winter, the Rockies offer skiing in its most challenging forms which can be reached in less than an hour and a half. During the summer months, the mountains offer fishing, backpacking, and camping in glorious settings that rival any scenery in the world. Trails through Roosevelt and Arapahoe National Forests provide days of peace and quiet in which to discover the magnificence of the Rockies.
