THE RETROFIT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

San Pedro Street is one of downtown San Jose\u2019s liveliest streets, offering a variety of dining options, events and a weekly farmers market. However, a 3-story parking structure created an uninviting dead zone on one side of San Pedro Street. The San Jose Downtown Association (SJDA) sought to activate the entire street by repurposing the ground floor of the parking garage into four, 400-square-foot micro-retail spaces for local business owners and replacing five street-parking spaces with a parklet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project required a strong collaboration between the Department of Transportation, Gensler and Eaton Hall Architecture, plus SJDA Street Life Manager Jason Su and the retail-space operators San Jose Made. The Knight Foundation provided key funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of San Jose\u2019s Department of Transportation allowed this concept to be implemented in its parking garage, showing a commitment to activating the east side of San Pedro Street and giving entrepreneurs an opportunity to test concepts in the marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gensler worked with SJDA to design a solution that would foster a flow of civic engagement, starting with the pedestrian experience and leading to a new kind of retail experience. Chris Hall of Eaton Hall Architecture built upon Gensler\u2019s vision, supplying the final drawings that brought the design to fruition. His commitment to the project was invaluable as the team navigated the complexities of installing these shops in the public garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outside responds to playful humanistic connections to the street with lush potted plants and vibrant outdoor furniture within the parklet. MOMENT has become a destination place for the entire community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retail spaces, run by San Jose Made, feature woman-owned businesses for varying durations. After a year of being open, there have been eight local businesses in the spaces and 12 jobs have been created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The extraordinary micro-shopping district awakens the eastern side of San Pedro Street; integrates with the rest of San Pedro Square; appeals to the community at large, especially San Pedro customers; and made believers out of those who said it couldn\u2019t be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of the retail spaces has led several brokers, developers and other interested parties to contact the city of San Jose to consult on including smaller footprints in their projects in the hopes of landing MOMENT-style tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Passenger Terminal Expansion, which opened in October 2020, added 20,000 square feet of new space and more than 300 seats inside of the secured area beyond the TSA checkpoint. With these improvements, the airport is able to simultaneously serve six aircraft and their passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of Rockfon\u2019s metal ceiling systems served as the terminal expansion\u2019s basis of design. PSH+ selected linear and curved shapes in multiple sizes and a choice of finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above the new, expanded TSA screening checkpoint, Just Rite Acoustics installed 4,400 square feet of Rockfon Planar Plus 4-inch aluminum linear ceilings with perforations and an acoustical backer. This acoustical enhancement allows the ceiling system to achieve an NRC rating of up to 0.90. Ceilings with high NRC ratings absorb sound, which helps keep conversations at a comfortable level, enhancing speech privacy, reducing stress and allowing travelers to hear important announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visible surface of Rockfon\u2019s linear metal panels was finished in Satin Silver to emphasize the terminal\u2019s new, modern look. White finishes were applied to the other Rockfon aluminum ceiling panels to present a bright, clean appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the expansion, grab-and-go snacks were the sole food option offered inside the security checkpoint, and only 177 seats were available. Now, there are 500 seats, a new Smokejumper Landing bar and restaurant, charging ports and 16 Wi-Fi hotspots within the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementing these amenities, the ceiling showcases a relaxing waveform created with 1,100 square feet of Rockfon Curvgrid 2- by 6-foot panels. This two-directional curved ceiling system arches and undulates along the interior wall and above the bar. Tight joint splices and miters accentuate the Curvgrid panels\u2019 smooth, rolling appearance. Rockfon\u2019s patented primary carrier also reduces labor-intensive hanger drops by more than 50 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Near the gates, Rockfon Spanair Torsion Spring 2- by 8-foot aluminum panels were selected for their crisp aesthetic and easy access to the plenum. The torsion- spring mounting lets maintenance staff easily remove the panels when needed to access the plenum for ventilation, audiovisual, fire suppression, security-system upgrades or future renovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping support healthy indoor air quality for airport staff and passengers, Rockfon\u2019s metal ceilings contain no organic compounds and are simple to clean. Manufactured with 75 to 100 percent recycled content, Rockfon\u2019s metal ceiling systems can be 100 percent locally recycled at the end of their useful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenty-four XLERATOR Hand Dryers replaced paper towels throughout the public and office-space restrooms of the terminal. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Grand Central Terminal was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. With the building and its rich history preserved, the first of many restoration projects commenced. As new technologies emerged, thoughtful planning was given to upgrading systems and integrating energy-efficient and sustainable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The restrooms have been an area of particular concern. Originally outfitted with paper-towel dispensers, restroom floors were often strewn with errant waste, and the sinks and toilets clogged with improperly disposed of paper towels, despite routine cleaning and maintenance. To eliminate these problems and other issues associated with paper towels, like the inherent labor, maintenance and waste, hand dryers were considered a sustainable solution. However, finding a product that could meet performance needs without compromising the integrity of the original architecture was a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While considering the XLERATOR hand dryer, the maintenance team learned it has a dry time of 8 seconds\u2014tested to guidelines from the Global Hand Dryer PCR published by UL Environment\u2014and it uses 80 percent less energy than conventional hand dryers. It represents a 95 percent cost savings when compared to paper towels, eliminating their labor, maintenance and waste. Eliminating paper towel waste also provides environmental benefits. A peer-reviewed (ISO 14040 standard) Life Cycle Assessment of XLERATOR confirmed it reduces the carbon footprint of hand drying by 50 to 75 percent compared to traditional hand dryers and even 100 percent recycled paper towels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, 24 XLERATOR Hand Dryers replaced paper towels throughout the public and office-space restrooms of the terminal. The sensor-activated dryers reduce touchpoints and feature custom covers with a vandal-resistant coating that fits in with the terminal\u2019s d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe set out to make ATW\u2019s TSA checkpoint the most visually appealing and pleasant in the U.S.,\u201d says Patrick Tracey, marketing manager, ATW. \u201cThe living wall is essential in realizing this goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transformation of the security area is part of a multimillion-dollar renovation and reconstruction of 50,000 square feet of ATW\u2019s commercial passenger terminal. The project included opening up and maximizing the space in the security area and establishing dedicated lanes for entering the security lines from the terminal and exiting to the terminal from the gates. Adding glazing, at the exterior and for interior partitions, brightens up the area with borrowed light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The living wall is situated at the end of the security lines in the \u201ccomposure area,\u201d where passengers can sit, put their shoes back on and gather their belongings. The living wall section facing the TSA checkpoint is 10 feet, 8 inches by 8 feet, 3 3\/8 inches. The wrapped corner section is 6 feet, 8 inches by 10 feet, 11 3\/8 inches. The section facing toward the gates is 10 feet,
8 inches by 10 feet, 11 3\/8 inches. In total, the wall includes 148 LiveWall modular planter boxes, which are high-impact, UV-resistant, architectural-quality moldings. They contain reusable inserts that hold the growing medium and contain a mix of five different indoor plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe LiveWall green wall softens the feeling of the terminal, where many other materials
for the flooring and walls are hard,\u201d says Scott Volberding, C.M., ACE, ATW\u2019s operations and maintenance manager. \u201cNot only does it provide a calming effect, it quickly became an unexpected attraction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTravelers are delighted with the wall,\u201d Tracey adds. \u201cWe see passengers taking selfies in front of the wall after they go through security. Their positive experience of the living wall makes for
a memory they want to save and share on social media.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 3,055 square feet of Fabricoil was used in three unique applications for the $61.5 million expansion and revitalization project at the airport. The 5\/16-inch, 15-gauge aluminum Fabricoil is used for window drapery, a privacy partition and a security gate for Taste NY Bar. The coiled wire fabric is finished in Antique Bronze and secured using Cascade Architectural\u2019s operable Steel Secura Track attachments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAirport management was concerned about sun coming from the southwest,\u201d says Nancy Felts, AIA, LEED AP, project manager, Fennick McCredie Architecture. \u201cWe specified Fabricoil to curve around the perimeter of the departing gate lounge, which provides solar shading to keep guests comfortable while allowing visibility out to the courtyard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fabricoil window treatment extends past the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the lounge to double as a partition separating the open space and public charging stations. This coiled wire fabric divider gives users privacy while working on laptops or mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fabricoil also is used as a side-folding security gate for Taste NY Bar within the airport, utilizing the same Steel Secura Track with bottom footbolt attachments and side hook bolt locks to secure the area during closed hours. Fabricoil security gates come available in multiple locking configurations, including lock and key intermediate footbolt options. They also can be equipped with a series of channels, handles, batons and other reliable hardware components for customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency\u2019s expansion was relatively small, about 2,000 square feet on the second floor, but the exterior renovation was larger to tie in the original building with the expansion. <\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SouthWest Transit relocated its corporate office to co-locate all staff, dispatch, drivers, maintenance, operations, planning and business operations under one roof. The existing maintenance facility was expanded and remodeled to reflect the space and operational needs of the staff co-location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur goals were to develop operation efficiencies through the staff co-location and develop operational and resource efficiencies through reduction of the deferred maintenance backlog,\u201d explains Gary Hay, RA, CID, principal, Hay Dobbs Architects. \u201cWe wanted to reinforce the SouthWest Transit brand and co-location philosophy, as well as the company\u2019s commitment to innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency\u2019s expansion was relatively small, about 2,000 square feet on the second floor, but the exterior renovation was larger to tie in the original building with the expansion. Hay says metal panels were specified for the remodel because of their lightweight qualities and minimal structural impacts to the existing construction. \u201cMetal panels offered a variety of panel shapes, expressions, configurations and application flexibility,\u201d Hay says. \u201cThese products offered the opportunity to select custom colors, reflecting the SouthWest Transit brand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheet Metal Supply delivered 2,300 square feet of 1-millimeter RHEINZINK flatlock panels (60 inches by 16 inches) and 600 square feet of 18-gauge Cor-Ten flatlock panels (20 inches by
16 inches). Other manufacturers supplied 1,700 square feet of aluminum panels in two special colors, 16-feet and 8-feet tall, as well as 800 square feet of flush aluminum soffit panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hay says RHEINZINK and Cor-Ten products offer the benefits of minimal maintenance and sustainability. \u201cRHEINZINK provided the flexibility necessary for the building,\u201d he says. \u201cIt allowed the design team to develop the desired panel configurations and customized corner details. Cor-Ten was selected for its weathering properties and provides similar flexibility to RHEINZINK. It was installed in its natural form and is weathering, reflecting the conditions of the site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Constructed in 1936, the original station featured a cramped design and lacked accessibility for those with disabilities. The project goal was to revive the train station to provide greater, easier access for all travelers through a bright and modern architectural design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defining architectural characteristic of the revitalized Harrison PATH station comes from the large-scale, curving glass curtainwalls secured via a series of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal columns and beams. For the main vertical columns, the team at BAMCO Inc. selected SAF to fabricate a series of intricate column covers that required manufacturing a litany of components with complex geometries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project included 8,900 square feet of more than 600 individual metal panels and column-cover components. The main, oversized vertical columns at the front of the structure are encased in SAF\u2019s M-2000 1\/8-inch aluminum column covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the time of the project, BAMCO had limited capabilities of rollforming panels that exceeded 10-foot lengths, so we needed to rely on a company that was capable of fabricating the oversized columns for the project,\u201d explains Ryan Kusmick, project manager at BAMCO. \u201cWe have worked with SAF in the past and, given the complex geometries of the design, we wanted to go with a competent fabricator that we were comfortable with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAF had to carefully engineer the column covers for the train station so they could accommodate various penetrations and cutouts that serve as connection points for the intersecting beam structure. In addition, the ground-floor portions of the column covers feature rails for vertical sliding doors. This was yet another complexity to take into consideration during 3D modeling and fabrication\u2014one that needed to be executed flawlessly to allow for the doors\u2019 operation. The SAF column covers are painted in a Fluropon Special White PVDF finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Harrison PATH station was a difficult project in terms of engineering and design. We scanned the as-built steel structure with the help of Kennon Surveying Services Inc., who laid out the point-cloud data. Microdesk then took this data and created the BIM model,\u201d Kusmick adds. \u201cThat information was all unfolded and relayed to SAF, who delivered on the design. We are very pleased with the outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HLB contacted Spectrum Lighting to design a high-bay luminaire with a specific output and distribution, delivering specified foot-candles, as part of the project. Consequently, Spectrum Lighting created a custom three-fixture mounting bar to hold the three high-bay-type luminaires. The company also designed a special 60-degree beam downlight series used throughout the space. All fixtures supplied were required to utilize the same LEDs and drivers for ease of long-term maintenance by the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectrum Lighting\u2019s sales and engineering teams worked in coordination with the lighting design team and architects to design and produce a fixture to meet exact specifications. Optical reflector design for high bays and downlights were done in-house, and the fixtures were tooled, spun and manufactured by Spectrum Lighting\u2019s skilled designers and craftsmen. The custom three-fixture mounting bar also was designed and manufactured in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed in 1871, Stockholm Central Station has a long, proud history, and the building itself features magnificent artwork and architecture. The building is historically listed and, as such, officials have an obligation to protect its architectural features in any upgrades or renovations. In addition, current commuters place a high emphasis on using a facility that is efficient, sustainable and easily accessible while being aesthetically pleasing. A dignified, impressive entrance is key to a comfortable customer experience and is proven to leave a lasting impression on the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe goal was to let people experience the whole atmosphere of this historic building, from floor to ceiling. We also wanted to have the old and the new come together in a natural way,\u201d says Architectural Conservator Johan Ritts\u00e9l with AIX. Jernhusen, the station owners, and AIX have been collaborating for 15 years to restore Stockholm Central Station to its former glory while creating a contemporary center. The entry solution needed to be true to the authentic beauty and atmosphere of the original space while meeting the modern demands placed on traffic flow and energy savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, Stockholm Central Station features a set of three Boon Edam all-glass, three-winged Crystal Tourniket automatic revolving doors along with integrated heaters. Each door can accommodate 1,740 persons per minute in both directions, in addition to managing climate control. The Crystal Tourniket doors also include collapsible door wings, which create an easy escape route in the event of an emergency. The entrance complements the classic architecture of the entrance hall while letting in as much daylight as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBoon Edam was very focused on finding the right door solution for us, even taking us on research tours so we could try out different door solutions,\u201d says Anne Teresiak, an AIX architect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A primary challenge was concealing the entrance\u2019s technical aspects so as not to interfere with the overall user experience and impression of the entrance. The motors were built into the floor; the control boxes were designed to be situated at a lower level in the building; and the vertical heaters were integrated into the centerline of the doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Appelgren with Jernhusen, adds: \u201cThe revolving doors are now an integrated part of the entrance hall. We\u2019ve managed to capture the ambience of the old while making sure we meet the modern demands of energy savings, as well as maintaining high-volume traffic flow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
