THE EVOLUTION OF EMBRAER
A MULTI-YEAR CAMPUS PROGRAM
Embraer Executive Jets has four completed facilities and
a fifth one under construction at Orlando Melbourne
International Airport in Melbourne, Florida. Whether
for research or jet production, customer briefings
or engineering, BRPH has created a distinct campus
identity that runs throughout every single building. Our
designers tell the story behind the multi-year projects.

LIGHTING THE WAY
FORMATIVE VISION
EMPLOYEE CENTRIC SPACES
PAST MEETS FUTURE
The lighting used on this campus showcases the
most innovative technology. One of the goals was to
enhance the vision of a vibrant facility through lighting
details. If you drive by one of Embraer’s buildings at
night, the lighting makes you feel like you are inside
the space. Architectural details, like undulating walls
and the use of unique building materials, are further
emphasized through lighting selection and placement.
What started as an initial master plan has continued into
a portfolio of significant buildings designed to reflect
leading edge technology. A formative vision was set in
the early stages and we continue to build upon the legacy
of each previous project. Every building has an infusion
and expression of Embraer culture. The Engineering
and Technology Center provided the opportunity to
incorporate much of what that culture represents. Our goal as designers is to create work environment
concepts which promote well being. The interior design
becomes a living space that is always evolving. As part
of Embraer’s campus office space, work environments
promote and assist employees in collaborating
seamlessly, resulting in innovative work efforts. These
design themes strengthen and evolve Embraer’s
technology research and development.
The campus will continue to evolve well into the
coming years with a comprehensive master plan in
place. As the company brings yet another business
line to its Melbourne campus – Legacy 500 – we are
integrating the best of all past Embraer projects into
each new facility of the future.

TECHNOLOGY FACILITY FIRST IN NEW CAMPUS MASTER PLAN
Harris Corporation Technology Center, Palm Bay, Florida
Harris Corporation came to BRPH with a question. What
would their Palm Bay, Florida Campus look like in 50 years?
The need for a large area plan was mitigated by a double
wing design that in turn created a gateway onto the site.
They wondered how they would grow in the 21st century
to meet the needs of their company and employees. They
wanted to advance their culture and create a space that
improved collaboration, innovation and speed to market.
BRPH began a collaborative process with Harris to explore
the possibilities for a new facility.
The Class-A, LEED Gold building has the capacity to
facilitate a multitude of tasks. The level one floor plan
provides a main entrance lobby, cafeteria, kitchen, multipurpose room, conference facility, training rooms, executive
dining space and a fitness center.
Through research, brainstorming, benchmarking, surveys,
programming, and design charrettes, Harris leadership
started to see a clearer picture of the future. At its center
would be a sleek, modern, 464,000 SF engineering based
building.
Through options and analysis, a curvilinear glass design
emerged which included over 7,000 glass window panels.
The level two floor plan provides mezzanine dining/
conference space with expanded conferencing and open
offices.
The overarching building design engages the campus,
encourages collaboration, evolves the culture and advances
innovation.
Harris Technology Center
LEED Gold Certified
Many energy conversation methods were employed
to achieve LEED Gold status. An all variable speed
cooling plant was designed that precisely matches
capacity output to building demand. Special control
strategies were utilized to minimize the amount
of outside air introduced into the building based
on actual occupancy, which saves a tremendous
amount of energy while still maintaining high indoor
air quality. Low pressure duct design methods were
used to minimize overall system pressure drops
which resulted in smaller horsepower supply air fans.
The systems are engineering to be as complex and
efficient as the building itself.

KATHREIN GROWS INTO MEXICO WITH BRPH ADVISEMENT
Kathrein-Werke Assembly Production Facility, Tlaxcala, Mexico
The distance from Germany to Mexico is over 5,000
miles. With BRPH acting as project advisor for German
automotive and telecommunications manufacturer,
Kathrein-Werke, we were able to close the distance gap
through leadership.
Not only were design-led economic development
services provided, like site selection feasibility and
incentives negotiation, but our earliest interaction with
the company involved research to bring the best parts
of the company’s multiple global locations into a new
central location.
BRPH designed and provided program management
services for a 150,000 SF Assembly Production Facility.
Kathrein develops, manufactures and markets a wide
range of mobile antenna systems and electronic
components and has 22 plants worldwide.
While Kathrein project executives remained in Germany,
BRPH established a full team and office presence in
Mexico to handle the day to day operation of the design
and construction. At the same time, BRPH project
managers flew around the world vetting and establishing
a cultural and technical baseline for the company’s most
modern facility to date.
A due diligence phase included visits to plants in China
and throughout Europe to determine which elements
should be included in the company’s new Mexicobased facility. We were able to bring the culture of a
German-based company into what would become a
predominantly Spanish speaking employee facility.
International Site Search
The international firm engaged BRPH early in the
decision making process to provide due diligence
in vetting the overall feasibility of multiple
locations across North America. After researching
site considerations, local workforce programs,
education capacities of local institutions and
overall business climate analysis, we helped the
company build and prove the case to their Board
of Directors that the Tlaxcala site was the right
choice for their new facility.

On the Front Lines of Safety
“No matter the size of the project, BRPH consistently provides

THE PATH STARTS HERE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY PROFESSIONALS
—DR. RICHARD D. PARADISE,
Associate Vice President, Facilities
Eastern Florida State College
Eastern Florida State College Public Safety Institute, Melbourne, Florida
As the centerpiece of Eastern Florida State College’s
facility portfolio, the Public Safety Institute design
involved a comprehensive building program that
responds to the needs of the college and establishes a
modern, highly technical, forward looking educational
environment.
The design addresses campus connectivity, material
articulation, patterning, and public versus private. The
architecture aligns with existing buildings on campus
through scale and proportion and sets a new standard for
the Melbourne campus.
The ground floor plan houses a majority of the core
curriculum spaces for law enforcement, corrections, EMT
and paramedic programs. These programs rely heavily
on site access and the ability to use adjacent exterior
spaces for training. The south end of the building has
an enclosed training area for students to have access to
training vehicles and an obstacle course.
The remaining programs such as criminal justice, crime
scene, paralegal and dispatch are located on the second
level and include unique features like a mock courtroom
and jail cell. The third floor houses the college’s district
offices and support spaces.
The Institute sets the standard in current criminal justice
education facilities. It is a catalyst for current campus
rejuvenation and future campus development and is
designed to serve the community, county and state for
years to come.
Real World Technology
The technology featured in this building includes labs
and classrooms equipped with cameras for trainees
to be recorded, allowing students to observe their
responses and correct if required. A 911 Dispatch
Lab includes the same high tech equipment seen
in operational Dispatch Centers, along with EMT/
Paramedic labs equipped with theatrical lighting and
sound equipment simulating “real-world” conditions
(i.e. sirens, passing car headlights, crying babies.)
These well placed and realistic tools serve to properly
prepare trainees for the harsh conditions they will
encounter once they enter the workforce. Additionally,
booking rooms, holding cells and investigation rooms
are equipped with cameras to simulate conditions
which would be observed at Police Stations.

JetBlue Lodge at JetBlue University located at the airline’s Orlando Support Center,
Orlando International Airport, Florida
JetBlue has a strong visual look which is apparent in
all aspects of the company; their offices, tail fin design,
uniforms, and now, The Lodge at OSC.
Inspired by the visuals used on JetBlue aircraft, in its other
support centers, and the company’s iconic blue and white
color palate, BRPH created a bright minimal space where
crewmembers can gather, connect, and celebrate. Each floor
of this four story, 196 room hotel is named after one of the
tail fin patterns and the fin graphics are incorporated into
the signage and wall graphics. The acoustic panels in the
great room are a play off of JetBlue’s window pane design
and furniture was selected that is not only youthful, but also
reflects the aerodynamic lines of the planes.
The space was designed to encourage collaboration and
camaraderie between the team members by intentionally
designing small guest rooms. The guest rooms have space
for private study while encouraging team members to use
the other amenities of the building. Varying levels of social
interaction while studying are offered from the most private
(guest rooms), to collaborative (team rooms), to social
(great room lobby).
More than 7,000 JetBlue crewmembers will visit the training
facility annually for new-hire orientation and recurrent
training. The facility is adjacent to the 105,500 SF JetBlue
University training facility, also designed by BRPH.
Getting Flight Ready
The Lodge includes a full service kitchen and dining
area, two large conference rooms, a buffet restaurant,
fitness center, eight teaming/work rooms and various
outdoor recreational areas. Sustainable features were
incorporated throughout, including recycled materials,
a PVC membrane roof system, low-flow plumbing,
Energy Star appliances, hand dryers, LED lighting,
refillable glass water bottle system, and an air cooled,
chilled water cooling system.

HOW A REPURPOSED PROCESSING FACILITY IS FUELING
COMMERCIAL SPACE ASPIRATIONS
Confidential Client, Commercial Crew & Cargo Processing Facility,
Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Helping to breathe new life into the facilities that once
supported the decades long Space Shuttle Program, BRPH
is repurposing some of the most iconic and well known
buildings across NASA’s facility portfolio.
The OPF-3 was formerly a central part of helping to get
the Shuttle off the ground. It’s also where the Shuttle main
engines were processed before lift-off. Built in 1985, this
thirty-year old facility was primed for a new mission.
As the Shuttle program came to a close in 2011, and after a
series of new plans formulated to focus on the commercial
realm of space access, our aerospace team got to work.
The very next year, we began transforming the former
Orbiter Processing Facility 3 (OPF-3) at Kennedy Space
Center into what is now known as the new Commercial
Crew & Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF).
The C3PF underwent an extensive, multi-phase retrofit.
It is now home to the Starliner (CST-100) space capsule.
The spacecraft, a modern vehicle adapted with updates
found in newer commercial aircraft, is expected to launch
humans and cargo to the International Space Station by
2017.
C3PF underwent an extensive, multi-phase retrofit to support the Starliner commercial space vehicle.
The vision for this facility was forward looking. By aligning
the program vision with NASA’s Commercial Crew
Capability Program, Starliner now has a home base for both
manufacturing and returning Starliner to flight status after
a mission.
C3PF is a single one stop shop for Starliner’s manufacture,
assembly, testing and loading of propellants and mission
provisions. When the Starliner rolls out of the C3PF, it is taken
directly to LC-41, its launch pad, stacked, integrated and
launched on a ULA Atlas V rocket. Post mission, the Starliner
is returned to the C3PF where it is inspected, refurbished, reassembled, tested and readied for its next flight. No other one
facility anywhere has this built-in multi-function capability.
Nestled between the C3PF’s High Bay and Low Bay is
a modern ‘Google style’, Program Management and
Engineering/Tech Center. This is where the team responsible
for manufacture, test and ground operations are facilitated
by the latest advancements that one would expect to find in
a high tech office environment. Similarly, Flight Operations is
14
PROJECT HIGHLIGHT: Commercial Crew & Cargo Processing Facility
located just across the street at the Processing Control Center
(PCC) which houses the Mission Control Center.
C3PF is already making history in its own right. It’s the only
facility in the southeastern United States to manufacture
human spacecraft. And now, since the retirement of the
Shuttle, Starliner gives us independence from relying on
rockets built and launched outside of the United States.
The Starliner and the Atlas V rocket serve as a highly robust
and reliable space transportation system for a multi-year
commercial effort to bring humans safely in and out of low
Earth orbit.
While Starliner is transporting astronauts to the International
Space Station, C3PF will remain the constant beacon that
welcomes this next generation vehicle and its crew safely
home.
Concentrate on the stars, Starliner, we’ve got you covered

SPACES DESIGNED FOR PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES
We’ve learned that spaces can be designed to produce specific
performance outcomes—productivity in one space and
increased innovation in another, or both in the same space
but at different times. By referencing company strategic goals
such as total sales or number of new-product launches, we
can demonstrate a workspace’s effect on the bottom line and
then design that space to improve it. This will lead to profound
changes in how we build our future workspaces.
RE-DESIGNING SPACES FOR INTERACTIONS THAT
INCREASE BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
Office space is not just an amortized asset but a strategic tool
for growth. Office utilization may peak at 42% on any given
day. By past logic, the best way to manage cost per square
foot is to remove “wasted” square feet. But experience reveals
that investments in re-designing space for interactions over
efficiency can increase communication and collaboration,
resulting in increased business performance.
SPACES TO QUENCH THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE
Managers might be tempted to simply build big social spaces
and expect great results, but it’s not that simple. Business
strategies provide business priorities, and office design concepts
based on these priorities can provide dynamic impact on
performance. One must have an understanding of what facilities
are trying to achieve (higher productivity? more creativity?)
before changing a space. Creating spaces that can be flexible
for both collaboration and focus allows for less real estate to be
utilized. If certain amenities and adaptive technology are located
close to areas of collaboration, it allows these spaces to shift in
use. Variety in location as well as amenities provides users with
a choice in ways to collaborate and what they need to interact
with others. After all, the true value of a collaboration space is
in the connections between humans. The space itself should
serve as a conduit for these conversations.
New space standards and planning principles reduce the
number of enclosed offices, increase open office areas and
accommodate easy reconfiguration for evolving workplace
needs. Typical floors have interior offices and meeting rooms
with glass fronts, providing access to daylight for all occupants.
Employers are dealing with an increasingly hard task of
implementing workplace innovations that meet the needs of
all four generations yet still maintain an effective and profitable
workplace. With employees likely being the largest investment
by business owners, many are willing to incorporate changes to
maintain morale and provide a workplace that helps develop an
innovative and engaged group of employees. These innovations
can also bridge the gap between generations by creating an
environment that allows workers to share experiences and
concepts to develop ideas.

THE INCREASE IN COLLABORATION, INNOVATION, & PRODUCTIVITY
With four generations currently in the work environment Traditionalists, Boomers, Gen X, and Millennials - never have
designers of these environments been forced to look at so
many different variables to create an effective workplace
that meets the needs of every potential end-user.
How do designers create spaces that are successful for
each of these variables? By rethinking the way people
work in a space and how they interact with each other,
we can start to develop new ways for the generations to
work together.
COMMUNICATION – IMPROVING PERFORMANCE
Think of an office not as real estate but as a
communication tool. Strategy, features, and value become
more important than cost and efficiency. Technology is
becoming the cheapest component of work and people
the most expensive. Human beings are social, needing
contacts to provide a sense of purpose and worth.
Face-to-face interactions are by far the most important
activity in an office. Chance encounters and unplanned
interactions between knowledge workers, both inside and
outside the organization improve performance.
Employees are able to think and collaborate with a fireplace to warm them and an equally impressive view of Pike’s Peak just beyond.

• Program Management – In this role, the entire project
is managed on behalf of the client allowing them to
focus on their core business. This includes scheduling
and sub-contract management. This is particularly
important in manufacturing when operations must
continue while bringing a new facility online.
INCREASING SITE SELECTION
ROLE FOR DESIGN FIRMS
A spatial relationship diagram helps clients visualize facilities in the
conceptual stage.
The process of client engagement for design firms is
evolving from a late-stage entry into the game by RFP
response to a proactive approach that includes crucial due
diligence factors that come before any facility design can
even be conceptualized.
As the dialogue changes, so too does the level of
integrated service clients are receiving from one source.
This shift in thinking is the new reality design firms are
embracing as industrial and manufacturing companies
seek ways to shorten facility development lead times and
bring their product to market faster than their nearest
competitor.
DESIGN-LED SITE SELECTION ROLE EXPANDING
As economic development has evolved from a Department
of Commerce responsibility to a public-private partnership
model, AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) firms
find themselves involved in project development more
often and earlier in the process. These firms are partners
at the table alongside corporate real estate executives,
labor analysts, economic development officials, higher
education leaders and technology experts, all with the
same goal in mind - how can we help this company create
jobs in the desired location in an expeditious manner while
controlling cost and mitigating risk.
AEC firms are seeing their role expand from supporting
economic development organizations with preliminary
design concepts and cost estimates to facilitating
requests directly from clients to lead their site search and
community comparison effort.
WORKING IN TANDEM TO IMPROVE A COMPANY’S
SITE SELECTION EXPERIENCE
Capital intensive projects require significant due diligence
before a company can make the final decision to expand
or look for a new location. Companies are risk averse and
cannot move forward without the assurance that the site
is developable today and that their transportation logistics
and facility needs can be met. Zoning, permitting, wetlands
delineation/mitigation and environmental assessments are
time consuming and costly, yet, companies must move
at the speed of market demands. Companies are turning
to trusted advisors who know their industry and have
experience conducting site evaluations and facility design
simultaneously, thereby controlling costs while fasttracking the project.
PRE-DESIGN CORE COMPETENCIES GROWING
This level of design involvement directly relates to the
level of sophistication required from a relocating or
expanding company. In some cases, there are dozens of
sites to analyze or the site requirements are so specific
that it becomes like finding a needle in a haystack. A large
majority of clients utilize any combination of the following
services on the path to a new facility:
• Business Climate Analysis – Beyond regional and
community demographics, the availability and
responsiveness of state and local government
decision makers is just as important as the economic
development programs and policies that they manage.
Communities with a track record of successfully
establishing and expanding businesses are attractive.
Prospective companies are looking for ways to mitigate
the cost of expansion. Free land, tax incentives and
workforce training grants are all important. Shovel ready
sites and fast-tracked, hassle-free permitting are still
critical factors.
• Labor Market Analysis - This is a critical component
in the research we conduct. Not only do we look for
available qualified labor, but we also take into account
the future pipeline of labor in the region. Is there a
training program or dedicated academy to supply the
company? Are such programs linked to the middle and
high schools in the area to ensure that students are
aware of future employment opportunities? Are area
employers engaged in curriculum development?
• Incentives Negotiation - States and communities offer
incentives to set themselves apart in an otherwise
equal solution for the company between two locations.
Companies seek incentives, both statutory and
negotiated, to allow an expansion to move forward
that would otherwise miss a critical shift in the market
they serve. An understanding of the differences among
states and countries in tax policy as well as knowledge
of geographically induced development zones is
imperative.
When services expand, the disciplines required to provide
those services also expand. Having a team of professionals
that understand and embrace economic development,
in combination with design and planning, helps enhance
the traditional seller-doer model. Competitive firms must
be in tune with the economic and business development
trends of the markets they serve. When speed to market is
of paramount importance to a growing company, they can
now turn to integrated design-led site selection services.
• Site Feasibility Study – Is the site shovel ready? It
should be for sale or lease. Environmental phases 1
and 2 are complete and a mitigation plan is in place.
Utilities (water, wastewater, electric, gas and fiber)
are at the site or plans exist to extend them to the
site with required capacity. Costs are known and are
competitive. Transportation logistics are conducive to
the company needs or can be addressed within the
desired timeframe.
• Master Planning – This process takes into
consideration the long term needs of the client (both
public entities and corporate end-users) and often
incorporates phased facility plans. It is a structured
planning process that includes input from the right
people. The master plan serves as a “roadmap” for
future projects and the information required to budget
the necessary funds to complete additions and
upgrades. Master planning establishes the architectural
theme, infrastructure systems, such as water and sewer,

LAUNCH PAD DESIGN FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE IN MISHAP
Throughout more than 65 years of the human space
age, there have been many triumphant successes,
as well as a small percentage of mishaps and tragic
losses. In just the past few years, there have been
several rocket anomalies that have caught national
attention.
Launch vehicle failures are generally not taken into
account during the design and construction of
launch facilities due to the rareness with which they
occur, however, for facilities that will be used for
engine testing, considerations for some anomalies
are incorporated after performing a risk assessment
Launch pads experience the brunt of the rocket
during launches. Direct impingement on the pad
surface from the rocket engines can cause serious
damage if certain design considerations are not taken
into account, specifically intense heat, pressure and
material ablation. Yet, one of the most overlooked
areas is often the design of the launch facility itself.
Some design considerations that are used for
modern day launch pads include the use of
reinforced concrete and steel structures to house
mission critical equipment, use of ablative materials
to protect structural components, and using a
conservative approach for the size of launch pad
elements. The use of reinforced concrete and steel
structures to house mission critical equipment
provides the necessary protection for items that
cannot afford to be lost during an accident.
These structures are designed to take direct
blast from the rocket engines during launch and
are generally designed with a conservative load
to account for unknowns that may occur during
launch (including vehicle failures) while still
being cost effective based on a risk analysis.
Ablative materials are used to protect main
structural elements from being degraded during
launch. The ablative materials are engineered
materials that have proprieties that allow
them to withstand high heat and exhaust that
would erode standard construction materials.
The use of these materials is vital to reducing
reoccurring maintenance costs after launch.
Launch pad design has
become a crucial supporting
Direct impingement on the pad surface from rocket engines can

component for executing a
successful launch.
Not only does structural support matter, but so
does location. All launch facilities in the U.S. are
located on barrier islands or on the coast. This
means consideration for natural occurrences such
as hurricanes, nor’easters, and earthquakes need
to be accounted for during design.
20
PERSPECTIVE: Return To Flight
Finally, the use of a conservative approach to the
sizing of launch pad elements allows industry
professionals to assess if a designed component
should be reinforced or its size increased due to
the importance of the component.
Over the course of decades, launch pads have
been designed to successfully withstand repeated
launch attempts and the occasional launch
anomaly. The importance of space based activities
has driven the aerospace industry to adapt,
improve, and learn from past missions. Launch pad
design has become another crucial supporting
component for executing a successful launch.
