FACILITY RESILIENCY & SUSTAINABILITY <br />Building resiliency into a project is the understanding of the need to plan for a long - <br />life facility that can adapt to change without sacrificing the original operational <br />intent. Project sustainability is thus a pragmatic approach that identifies and seizes <br />opportunities to increase adaptability, reduce energy usage and demonstrate <br />responsible material usage are key contributors to resiliency and sustainability. <br />At maintenance facilities, we realize that the central focus is around the vehicles and <br />the equipment used to maintain the City roads. But the people who utilize and operate <br />this equipment are the key to keeping your City safe and beautiful. Sustainability and <br />resiliency are about designing for staff's wellbeing and their experience. This includes <br />integrating daylight into spaces that traditionally didn't include daylight. It includes <br />thermal comfort and air quality within the space and how that is successfully achieved. <br />It includes easy to maintain materials and finishes that allow work productivity to <br />be focused on City maintenance. It includes spaces that are safe and secure. And it <br />includes programming spaces and designing functions that enhance daily activity and <br />allow the City to successfully recruit, train and retain employees, so focus can be on <br />the operation and maintenance of the City. <br />Sustainability is also about overall stewardship of the environment. This site and <br />project has an opportunity to incorporate strategies that can demonstrate energy <br />efficiency, renewable energy integration, stormwater management, wildlife <br />management and protection practices and other strategies that can be evaluated and <br />prioritized based on community perception, facility performance, initial economic <br />impact and long-term financial project impact. By integrating a simple, common-sense <br />approach early and throughout the project, these strategies can be evaluated at any <br />point in the process and our team is well versed in how they are integrated. <br />AIA Framework for Design Excellence <br />V W�NyF�ory - - <br />�� � �•e n ivy ilwOn Iw Oc:gn ��� fOM-Jpn Iv a+q� b' <br />�'¢ Q ��,dbb 0$ <br />PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR THE LINO LAKES PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY <br />OERTEL ARCHITECTS- 20 <br />
