Our Vision for Education Design
Designing for education is a constituent- and issue-intensive undertaking. Our work always begins
with a simple but essential question: How do people learn? We are committed to the value of
learning, working with clients who embrace the powerful role that design plays in education. We
share clients’ ongoing mission to create progressive, future thought leaders for a changing world.
Together we shape environments that promote intellectual curiosity and academic excellence in a
rapidly changing world. Applying what we have learned from clients for more than a century, we
produce the best in responsive design. With our depth of knowledge we provide academic institutions with design tools that address the new and unique challenges ahead.

Education Design / Vision & Values
“One of the biggest challenges we face as leaders in education is managing the accelerating pace of change. In the spheres of communication, information and technology it
is essential that institutions do more than ‘keep up.’ We play an integral part, helping
manage and define strategic priorities alongside our clients. In this role Shepley Bulfinch
helps institutions remain dynamic, innovative, and competitive. This requires not only
depth of knowledge but thoughtful planning. While Shepley Bulfinch is fortunate to have
such a rich legacy, what interests me is how we shape the future.”

includes a gymnasium, racquetball courts and swimming pool, as well as dining facilities. It
takes textural cues from its neighbor, with a sleek steel and glass exterior that offers it a dramatic counterpoint. Floor-to-ceiling glass creates light-filled interiors and a sense of openness
and visibility for both buildings, while the structures’ public spaces integrate seamlessly. The
project embodies the vision of a campus that nurtures students in mind, body, and spirit, and
complements the program and architectural style of the existing buildings.

Building Science + Integrated Design
Building science is the bedrock on which sustainable design rests. We
apply our internationally recognized expertise in the complex integration
of systems that regulate heat, air quality, and moisture, to create projects
that reflect our standards for performance, quality, and innovation. From
air barrier technology to zero-energy buildings, our technical group provides
insight into applied building physics, materials science, and climate-specific
adaptation. Building science is one facet of the firm’s integrated system
that produces work of lasting quality and unparalleled integrity. A second
facet is our ongoing commitment to educating ourselves on the latest tools,
methodologies, and training so as to take greatest advantage of the synergy,
productivity, and impact of all of our design services.

With design techniques that exceed code requirements, the New Library is expected to
meet the stringent standards of the UK’s Building Research Establishment Environmental
Assessment Method (BREEAM). Instead of a mechanical system, its natural ventilation

atria, roof venting, and a night cooling strategy that utilizes exposed concrete structural
slabs. Ground source heat pumps, and a raised floor system, efficiently deliver low
temperature heat. Natural light sensors reduce electricity consumption and a rainwater
recycling system that supplies toilets and urinals conserves water. Shepley Bulfinch col-
laborated with systems engineers Buro Happold to establish an organizational diagram

Wagdy Anis, FAIA, Principal, Shepley Bulfinch
In February 2007 Wagdy Anis was elevated to the AIA’s College of
Fellows. A lifelong leader in advocating energy efficiency and sustainability, Wagdy is a nationally recognized expert on air infiltration
control in buildings. Since writing the air barriers requirement for the
Massachusetts Building Code in 2001, his advocacy has rippled internationally. A founding board member of the Air Barrier Association of
America, and editorial board chair of the Journal of Building Enclosure
Design, he speaks and writes widely on this topic. His name has
become synonymous with the high-performance, sustainable wall
system he championed, now widely used and commonly referred to
as the “Wagdy Wall.”

Our Vision for Sustainable Design
Sustainable design is a core value, from our own LEED Silver-certified offices to the strategies and
technologies we use to ensure that our buildings enhance and improve the communities they serve
well into the future. With over one-third of our professional staff LEED Accredited Professionals,
we rank among the highest in the nation. An essential objective of the UK’s Building Research
Establishment’s Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) states the premise concisely: “Make
the most of the site… by studying its history and purpose, local micro-climates and the prevailing winds and weather patterns, solar orientation, provision of public transport and the form of
surrounding buildings.” This is the essential starting point for truly sustainable buildings that will
endure by conservation and adaptation for future generations.

University of Denver
Sturm College of Law, Denver, CO
The Sturm College of Law at the University of Denver is the nation’s first LEED certified Law
School, and has received a LEED Gold rating. Since Natural Resources Law has been taught
here for more than one hundred years, the construction of new facilities offered the University
Program: Law School
the opportunity to put into practice the principles it teaches. The 190,000 square foot build-
ing uses 40 percent less electricity, gas, and water than conventional construction. Electricity
is conserved with generous use of natural light, energy-efficient fixtures, and daylight and
motion sensors. Carbon dioxide sensors control ventilation, while water is conserved through
the use of waterless urinals, sensor-activated faucets, native plantings and a storm water
collection system for irrigation. Green materials include a recycled copper roof, low gas-emitting paint and carpet, and lockers constructed of recycled straw board.

Solutions in Education Design
Perspectives from our Education Design Leaders
Science, Technology and Innovation
Innovation for science and technology presents an opportunity for students and faculty to
engage not only in traditional teaching, learning, and research but also for informal interaction
in collaborative social spaces. It is strategic to intentionally create such spaces and to anticipate the unexpected needs of innovation as well as its predictable requirements. Science and
technology innovation is often an equipment-intensive enterprise: space that can be flexibly
adapted to accommodate changes in technology is essential to the scientist. Making science
and technology visible stimulates interest in the disciplines campus-wide. In our buildings,
we intentionally incorporate transparency between circulation pathways and science domains,
interactive break-out areas for informal gathering spaces, common spaces to link floors, and
Elise Woodward, AIA
an integrated design for science and technology’s adaptability.
Visual Language, Image and Identity
Institutional cultures and practices are constantly challenged by the reverberation of innovation
and discovery through their missions. Architectural form is a representative language helping
define the institutional change necessary for survival in our time, while retaining a sense of
the values of their founding mission. Our experience with various institutions and project sizes
gives us great sensitivity to the preservation of this character which is constantly challenged
by technology. Our experience with 19th and 20th century institutions is deep; our projects are
built narratives of their aspirations as well as fragments of historical eras. The challenge is
to bring these earlier narratives into concert with our 21st century ambitions. We thrive when
partnered with institutions that are deeply committed to reinforcing the architectural expresRalph Jackson, FAIA
sion of their identity and values, while reaching out to the communities they serve.
Creating Learning Communities
At colleges and universities, the entire campus is a learning environment, often with the college town or urban neighborhood serving as an extension of that environment. But if one
can learn anywhere, why is the magnitude of learning and academic accomplishment tangibly
greater on the academic campus? The simple answer is that the campus offers serendipitous interaction, convenient access to resources and a broad range of environments in which
to think deeply and explore possibilities, creating a wonderfully synergistic combination to
advance and enhance learning, discovery and creation of knowledge. The college campus as
a successful learning community continues to attract students, faculty and researchers pursuing the “life of the mind.”
Tom Kearns, AIA
Fostering Inspiration
We believe in the potential of design to foster inspired human achievement. The innovative intelligence of our work creates the potential for the highest levels of collaborative interaction across
the academic community. The considered and innovative organization of disciplines within a
facility creates the greatest potential for the future development of as-yet unknown and recombinant disciplines. Our design for the unique form, volume, and stylistic expression of a building is
calculated to elicit an inspired response, whether it be in the balance of the composition related
to a beloved campus context, the harmony of a built environment within its natural one, or in the
challenge that the design poses to conventional ways of looking at and understanding architecture. We create spaces throughout our buildings with inspiration as a primary goal, spaces that
Alexander Howe, AIA
by their scale and quality characterize an experience of freedom, of thought, of expression.

Project Management and Delivery
Our academic clients have come to expect design creativity from us, and expect that our
designs will enhance and transform the quality of campus life. This design success is fundamentally based on gaining a thorough understanding of the unique culture of each campus.
Success, in the client’s eyes, is also inextricably interwoven with providing the best design
in accordance with the client’s schedule and budget. The three basic legs of a successful
project - design, schedule, and budget - must remain in balance for successful project delivery.
Effective project delivery also relies as much on the ability of the client to make timely and
informed decisions as it does on the insightfulness of the design team. Our role is as much
in helping our clients reach appropriate decisions in a timely manner as it is in ensuring that
all parts of the design team work towards to a common goal.
Jim Hunnewell, AIA
Design as Metaphor
Ours is a search for architectural form that becomes a metaphor for the mission and vision
of an institution and its leadership. Metaphor directly connects the transformative capability
of our designs with the transformative purpose of the institution. The result is to achieve a
certain timelessness, creating a living legacy on campus, and architecture that lasts, is sustainable, and provides lasting value beyond the immediate functional needs of the program.
For example, if a building is seen as a “jewel” within the campus, it has added value above
the cost of the curtain wall façade. If a campus quadrangle space is seen as the “heart” of
the campus, the campus may expand and grow around its perimeter, but people will fight to
maintain its spatial character for future generations.
Elizabeth “Zibby” Ericson, FAIA
Adaptability and Durability
Shepley Bulfinch’s buildings are beloved because they are beautiful and designed to fit appropriately in their context. Beyond that, they are also long-lived. These buildings are alive and well
decades after they were conceived and built – sometimes for 100 years or more. This is the
result of a conscious decision to design facilities that are adaptable and durable. “Adaptable”
means that buildings respond to changes in program use over time. Through careful selection
of a simple planning module, 10’ wide offices can be converted into 20’ wide seminar rooms
years later. “Durable” means the building’s ability to remain strong. We design buildings that
last by intentionally selecting durable materials and building systems that have a proven record
of withstanding the ravages of time induced by the climate outside as well as the occupants
inside. Our clients are here to stay and expect as much of their buildings.
Jon Ross, AIA
Building a Green Campus
Sustainable design is smart design. Realizing significant energy savings or creating a place
that enhances the vitality of the working, living, and learning environment are smart business
and enterprise objectives that complement sustainable goals. Sustainable design is a natural
byproduct of an integrated creative process, one that relies on informed decision making which
mandates that values and goals be shared across the academic community. The net result
is design integrity that reflects the interests of the current and future constituents. Building a
green campus should be seen as a great opportunity to enhance the culture of the academic
community. Green opportunities have varying degrees of risk when it comes to capital investment versus payback and maintenance, but the spirit and intent of practicing environmentally
responsible campus life should be achievable by all.

Perhaps the best testimonial to the enduring success of the original quadrangle design is that the buildings – more than 100 years after their conception
– continue to be the “inner city” of the University, the heart of the undergraduate teaching and academic administration. In function and proportion they
express a heritage of the importance of university planning.

Education Design / Perspectives
“To meet today’s academic needs as well as those in the future, the library
must reflect the values, mission, and goals of the institution of which it is a
part, as well as accommodate myriad new information and learning technologies and the ways we access and use them. As an extension of the classroom, library space needs to embody new pedagogies, including collaborative
and interactive learning modalities. Significantly, the library must serve as
the principal building on campus where one can truly experience and benefit
from the centrality of an institution’s intellectual community.”

Education Design / Classroom Building
Bates College
Pettengill Hall, Lewiston, ME
Pettengill Hall houses Bates’ social science departments and related interdisciplinary
programs. One of the building’s principal elements, Perry Atrium, is an 8,000-square-foot
three-story space overlooking Lake Andrews. With its views of the lake and landscape,
Program: Classroom Building
Perry Atrium is designed as a social hub, and provides views for adjacent classroom and
seminar spaces. Below the atrium, a 120-seat interactive classroom anchors the ground
floor, with direct access from the lower level grade. The Hall’s two wings accommodate
classrooms, offices, and lounges, which can be adapted to future functional changes.
Computer classrooms and workrooms are scattered throughout. Located on the site of a
former maintenance building, the Hall completes a ring of central campus buildings that
frame Lake Andrews. Developed in concert with a landscape master plan of the campus,
the building offers direct connection to and views of the lower campus. It utilizes an airbarrier exterior wall and roof system for highest energy efficiency.

Education Design / Residence Halls
Amherst College
James and Stearns Residence Halls, Amherst, MA
Standing on the site of predecessor dormitory buildings of the same names, James
and Stearns Halls are designed to weave into the “family tartan” of the College and
the freshman quadrangle they share with two of the College’s oldest buildings, North
Program: Student Residence
and South Halls. The east elevations are more transparent and engaged with the land-
scape by the curve of each, generating the half-circle garden they share with the Mead
Art Museum. The space between the new buildings preserves the formal passage that
links the museum to the east with Johnson Chapel on the western side of the quad. In
keeping with the College’s commitment to sustainability, the earlier structures were dismantled and their components reused or recycled where possible. Each residence hall
accommodates 85 students in a combination of singles, one-room doubles, and tworoom doubles. Generous social spaces, including libraries, fireplaced living rooms, study
alcoves, kitchenettes, and music practice rooms, are incorporated in each building.

of 150,000 s.f. of new and renovated space, creating an academic quad by renovating
the University library and integrating it with a new learning commons and a major new
academic building. By realigning programs dislocated by these changes, the plan also
dramatically increases classroom utilization, reducing the need for new classroom space.
By developing alternative public/private development strategies for vacant industrial land
near the campus, the plan provides a catalyst for partnership with the adjacent neighborhood by developing a multi-use retail destination for both students and residents.

food service stations where students can order freshly prepared meals. To accommodate the small building footprint, the production kitchen, which handles all campus-wide
catering, is located on the second floor. Zorn Commons provides a separate dining room
for faculty and staff with its own servery. The main floor of the Commons is designed
with a moveable partition so that a space seating up to 400, with a separate entrance,
can be created to host outside functions.

recast elements of its scientific programs to support future research. A central two-story
atrium faces south, showcasing at its perimeter laboratories, seminar rooms, a muse-
um, and sweeping views of the Hamilton Hills, and symbolically linking all departments.
The four-story structure will be linked by tunnel and bridge to the existing adjacent
Chemistry and Biology buildings. Colgate’s wooded hilltop campus features small stone
buildings of elegant proportions. Since this new building is twice the size of the largest
existing structure on the campus, its fieldstone façades are designed to respond to
existing formal quadrangles and its massing on the steeply sloping site is broken into
two volumes so as to complement the scale of the campus.

“The language of design is universal;
designing a university library for a different culture on another continent was
both a challenge and a pleasure. Our
design melded American and Chilean
learning cultures, producing a unique
building that embodies the young university’s aspirations. Distance posed a
challenge, as most of our graphic and
written communication was electronic
and there were complex problems to
address. The clients’ clear vision and
responsiveness made it a pleasure.”

the highest level of student athletic competition. Organized around a multi-level central
concourse, its skylight fills the building with natural light. The multi-court gymnasium, with
its elevated running track, is opposite the fencing studio and weight and fitness area.
The central concourse provides spectator viewing opportunities for the squash courts
and aquatic center, while a climbing wall at the building’s main entrance symbolizes the
building’s energy and spirit. By utilizing the grade of the site with a roof design that slopes
close to the ground on two sides, the Center fits into the scale and context of the campus,
settling into the landscape and hiding the large mass of the multi-court gymnasium behind
smaller-scale elements.

Design in Partnership
Defining Design
Design succeeds when it fosters inspiration. Its legacy is not shaped in stone
or steel, but in the minds of those it touches. At Shepley Bulfinch we offer clients
innovative design solutions in architecture, planning, and interior design. We
give our clients an edge by drawing on the insights we have gained through our
experience with leading academic, healthcare, research, and civic institutions.
Our success is that of our clients and the design process we shape together.
The Design Process
Design begins in the client’s mind. We introduce a transformative process
that makes that vision real in a form they could not have imagined before.
The process is as critical as the final project: creating a culture of inquiry that
identifies an institution’s changes, challenges, and competition. We work collaboratively to develop design solutions that will achieve our clients’ visions.
Leadership
The solutions we develop for clients are as diverse as our creative teams. The
constant is the leadership, commitment, and responsiveness that we offer,
and it shows. Clients who come to Shepley Bulfinch by reputation stay with
us by experience.
What will we do next?
The possibilities are as diverse as our clients’ visions.
