CERTIFICATIONS: VAA is EDGE certified by the Ohio Department of Administrative Services, Equal Opportunity Division; FBE certified with the Ohio Unified Certification Program (UCP) that includes agencies such as the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, Central Ohio Transit Authority, Ohio Department of Transportation, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Columbus Regional Airport Authority; DBE certified by the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority; and WBE and MBE certified by the Ohio Turnpike Commission. SUSTAINABILITY: VAA is committed to sustainable design and welcomes the opportunity to provide a model in the community. As members of the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the USGBC as well as the national USGBC, we are consistently learning new ideas on how to specify products and select construction methods that are safer for the environment and the community which it sustains. VAA currently has seven LEED Accredited Professionals and one LEED Green Associate on staff, with several more team members studying to take the exam. We have provided LEED services on a variety of project types ranging from a 12,000 SF LEED Silver fitness center, to serving as the LEED Certifying Agent for the $465 million Global Center for Health Innovation and Cleveland Convention Center, which achieved LEED Gold certification and was completed three months ahead of schedule. EXPERIENCE: Our portfolio of experience includes a combination of new construction, renovation, addition, and interior improvements for clients across a variety of market sectors, including non-profit, institutional, education, healthcare, hospitality, public and commercial. VAA is unique in that we have been involved in projects with varying aspects and project roles. We have served in the role of criteria architect, lead architect, construction manager, and consultant on projects using various delivery methods such as DesignBuild, CM-at-Risk, and General Contracting. Our clients and partner firms look to VAA for our experience and understanding of the interconnection between the design and construction process. VILLAGE OF BRATENAHL | CRITERIA ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES AS OWNER REPRESENTATIVE 2 BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) VAA made a strategic decision over two years ago to become a 100% BIM office. This helped to ensure all staff are proficient with the software and that we are delivering the best possible project for our clients. The driving force behind the decision was the ability of BIM to enhance our design and collaboration abilities with all disciplines. To ensure the project process is streamlined, we establish set milestones each week for VAA and our consultants to share models. This weekly collaboration allows us to generate the most up-to-date models possible, while still allowing respective consultants to continue with the design and documentation process. VAA typically establishes a set day of the week where we upload our latest architectural model for the consultants to download and update their models for coordination. The consultants also have a set day every week to do the same which allows the models to be a work-in-progress and to ensure the team has the latest information. The frequency of the model uploads by VAA and our consultants vary by the deliverable dates and scope of the project. The end goal is to meet or exceed the Owner’s goals and schedule. Given VAA’s shift to BIM, we have developed relationships with key consultants that are just as well-versed in BIM technology as our office. These relationships and previous project experience allows for a more effective design process and ultimately better coordination, which results in fewer items in the field that need to be coordinated. VAA has completed numerous BIM projects for clients including Ursuline College, Hiram College, Kent State University, Cleveland State University, The Ohio State University, Case Western Reserve University and Cuyahoga Community College. Through these projects, VAA has gained an exceptional understanding of collaborative processes which meet the State of Ohio BIM Protocol. We use BIM in all stages of the project, from conceptualization through completed construction, to design a building or singular space, create renderings and wire frames, complete construction documents, and coordinate systems with consultants. We believe BIM usage offers the following benefits: • • • • • Design and construction efficiency Effective visualization, which conveys a better understanding of design intent to all participants Stronger work flow coordination at the job site Long term energy performance monitoring Facility management coordination after the project is finished (through the BIM model and databases) Autodesk Revit Architecture is the primary BIM design tool used by the team. We have also used programs such as Autodesk Navisworks to aid in simulation, estimating and analysis. Our team tailors the Revit model to meet the exact parameters of the project. We realize that the model is only as good as the quality of the items which are drawn, and VAA is able to provide models of varying complexity from Level of Development (LOD) 100 to 500, depending on the needs of the project. VILLAGE OF BRATENAHL | CRITERIA ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES AS OWNER REPRESENTATIVE 3 Our typical models are generally completed to the LOD 300 level. We use Revit models both internally and externally. Externally, we primarily use models to coordinate with our Structural and MEP Engineer partners. Throughout the process, we regularly conduct Interference Checks (Clash Detection) and employ visual checks to ensure all systems are coordinated. Our models are also capable of external interfacing with fabrication software used by trade contractors. For example, items such as exterior skins, sun screens, furniture and fixtures can be exported as various file types (DXF, DWG or SAT) and then imported in Computer Aided Manufacturing software. Lastly, our models can perform Sun Path Analysis, which simulates the sun path to better understand the impact of the sun in relation to a building and its surrounding context, to determine the amount of sun exposure on a building and assess if sun shades are required. BUDGET & SCHEDULE MANAGEMENT We view scheduling as a dynamic process, one which offers flexibility and responsiveness to the challenges and constraints that arise when working through a project. At VAA, we work collaboratively with our clients at the onset of every project to develop a schedule that is consistent with their goals and budget, provides well-defined and realistic milestones, and accounts for obstacles which could potentially delay a project’s completion. At the inception of every project we put together a series of meeting agendas that detail what will be discussed throughout the design process. This detail up front provides our clients with a road map for the project schedule allowing them to plan on having the appropriate staff at meetings to make decisions and facilitate the project moving forward. Our schedules always include appropriate review times by the Owner as well as time for the design team to coordinate. Once the contractor is on board, we are diligent in the review of the construction schedule checking for the following items: • • • • • Project follows proper construction sequencing, critical path is logical Accurate milestone dates are included Well defined activity relationships Includes procurement and material delivery information Resource loading confirms the manpower makes sense VAA has partnered with cost estimating firm Construction Support Solutions as part of our design team to ensure the project cost estimates are accurate. To facilitate control of the budget throughout the project, VAA provides internal constructability reviews to ‘scrub’ the documents clean of difficult to build details, details that may cause operational issues and costly items that don’t add value. VAA prefers to work with the Owner on the total project cost, understanding the soft costs, maintenance equipment, etc. that will be necessary and confirming all project costs are included. Additionally, we like to work with our estimators to reconcile their estimates to make sure nothing has been missed or accounted for twice. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN VAA is committed to sustainable design and welcomes the opportunity to provide a model in the community. As members of the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the USGBC as well as the national USGBC, we are consistently learning new ideas on how to specify products and select construction methods that are safer for the environment and the community which it sustains. VAA is unique in that we have been involved in projects with all different aspects and project roles relative to sustainability. We have served as both the lead architect and LEED coordinator, as well as consultants on both the design and construction aspects of projects. This knowledge and expertise relative to both the design and construction sides of a project is invaluable. We understand the interconnection of the design and construction process as well as the materials, systems and procedures required to deliver a sustainable, LEED building on schedule and within budget. Additionally, our team can help identify where the potential pitfalls may be relative to specific LEED credits and advise the team early, and throughout the process, on steps that can be followed so that VILLAGE OF BRATENAHL | CRITERIA ARCHITECT/ENGINEER SERVICES AS OWNER REPRESENTATIVE 4 specific sustainable aspects can be achieved. We can also recommend making minor modifications to the scope of work items, allowing the project to add LEED credits to achieve a higher certification level. While LEED Certification is known as the primary system in the building industry today to measure a project’s sustainability, other systems exist, and there are many other sustainable features that can be incorporated that might not add LEED points to the project but will make the project more sustainable. These features can be discussed and, if warranted, incorporated into the project. Process Through our years of involvement with sustainable projects, and specifically LEED Certified projects, we understand that for a project to truly be successful it must meet user needs and achieve the established project goals. We know that a solution for one project does not always translate into success for another project, so we develop customized sustainability solutions for the unique needs of each project. Integration of all team members and “buy-in” by all stakeholders is essential to designing a facility that meets user needs and is sustainable now and in the future. Therefore, at the beginning of each project, we recommend conducting an initial LEED eco-charrette that brings together the project team to articulate and evaluate the project’s goals and discuss what level of LEED certification is possible. Once the specific goals have been established, the sustainability aspects will be interwoven into all facets of the project. All project decisions will need to consider the potential impact on the sustainability goals, and sustainability initiatives will be discussed and confirmed at each project meeting to ensure goals are met. Next, VAA creates a detailed LEED checklist that outlines the exact credits being pursued along with the compliance path, suggested documentation, responsible party, status, date required and outstanding information. This document provides project team members with a comprehensive view on where the project stands relative to all sustainable initiatives. VAA uses this checklist as a measure of how we are tracking, as it allows us to monitor how project changes impact the sustainability goals. For example, in some cases, design changes can result in the addition or loss of sustainable features. Therefore, it is imperative that VAA is involved in the process from day one to evaluate the design through all phases of the project’s development and determine what additional sustainable aspects can be incorporated. To help streamline the LEED tracking and documentation process, we also utilize inspection checklists and other administrative items to document both the design and construction credits. LEADERS IN SUSTAINABILITY: GREEN METRICS 1 50 GREEN BUILDINGS completed or currently under construction 2 Over 2 MILLION SF of work done in SUSTAINABLE DESIGN 3 Member of the NEO USGBC Chapter & NATIONAL USGBC 4 VAA currently has 7 LEED ACCREDITED PROFESSIONALS and 1 LEED GREEN ASSOCIATE,with several staff studying for the exam 5 LEED CERTIFYING AGENT for the $465 million Global Center for Health Innovation & Cleveland Convention Center 6 LEED CERTIFYING AGENT for the $228 million Hilton Cleveland Downtown Convention Center Hotel Tailored Sustainability Features VAA’s goal on all projects is to exceed the Owner’s sustainability goals. This is often achieved without much of a cost increase to the project, but rather, it is integrated into the process as the design moves forward. In many cases slight adjustments or changes in the design of the project can have a large impact on the sustainability of the project. On all sustainable projects we strive to think beyond the typical LEED credits and tailor the sustainability features to the unique aspects of the project. In some instances it involves reusing and rebuilding existing infrastructure or equipment rather than just removing and discarding them, which is typical on most projects. Additional concepts involve tying the sustainable features into interactive educational aspects so that the Owner and project benefit from the sustainable features, while the users take away an understanding of the project’s stewardship to the planet, which helps to enrich the experience.

As part of this project, the Cleveland Public Auditorium was renovated and now offers underground connectivity to the new Cleveland Convention Center. As part of this $2.5 million project, VAA restored the west facade of the auditorium, which included design of new vestibules, demolition of the 1964 addition, repair of stone and masonry, and installation of historically accurate details. New granite and limestone were installed in damaged or removed areas so the stone of the west facade appears uniform and matches the original condition when originally constructed in 1922.

The project will include the demolition of the existing two-pipe convection heating units and the installation of new four-pipe heating; air conditioning fan coil units; associated piping, power and temperature control infrastructure in three of the buildings. Dunbar Hall will remain a two-pipe heating-only system. The existing asbestos containing floor tile within the resident rooms and corridors will be replaced with carpet tile floor finishes, and the existing built-in wardrobe units will be demolished and replaced with new units. All heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems will be designed to meet the University’s energy and sustainability goals. The project was completed 25% under budget, saving the University approximately $3.9 million.
