Key project elements<br />

• Landscape architecture<br />

• Construction administration<br />

• Building information modeling<br />

• Civil engineering<br />

<strong>Atkins</strong> provided complete<br />

architectural and engineering<br />

design services, as well as cost<br />

estimating, civil engineering,<br />

and surveying, from<br />

programming through<br />

construction support, for the<br />

Miami Culinary Institute. A<br />

model of sustainability and<br />

urban stewardship, the eightstory<br />

building is seeking LEED Gold-certification and incorporates six<br />

cooking/teaching labs, a television studio/demonstration lab, and a full-service restaurant on the top floor. Other spaces<br />

include a café, classrooms, and administrative offices. As a modestly scaled yet iconic infill building, this project embodies a<br />

new paradigm of urban development and architecture.<br />

At contract award, the programmed project was a straightforward classroom building, made unique by its siting on a narrow,<br />

mid-block 50 ft x 90 ft parcel surrounded by 3- and 4-story classroom buildings and within 3 feet of Miami’s Metromover<br />

elevated transit rail system. During the schematic phase, the college asked if the programmed building, site, and<br />

budget could accommodate the requirements of a culinary school. <strong>Atkins</strong> confirmed that the request was achievable within<br />

an 8-story envelope but would require approximately double the budget: $450/sf versus $225/sf. Upon MDC approval<br />

<strong>Atkins</strong>’ architects and engineers began planning the challenging interface between the building structure and the required<br />

circulation and ventilation for the 6 teaching labs and commercial kitchen, encompassing 16 separate hoods on 5 levels.<br />
