10 Monday and Tuesday; Nov. 7-8 Attend seven of the 19 Forum Sessions on Pages 10-13 Space and program productivity (A-E) A. Flexibility solutions to accommodate changing research program requirements SmithGroup, Inc. Victor J. Cardona, AIA, NCARB – Vice President H. Michael Smith, AIA, LEED AP – Principal Animal research facilities now have to accommodate growing numbers of smaller, more highly focused, shorter-term research projects, a requirement that demands more vivarium capability and capacity and better space utilization. Here, Victor Cardona and Michael Smith demonstrate new decision making criteria for space allocation ratios, static and disposable caging, barrier facility designs, and biocontainment requirements. They profile facilities at Texas Tech University, UC San Francisco, Astellas, University of Louisville, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to illustrate high-performance solutions for vivariums ranging from 5,000 square feet to 60,000 square feet. AIA HSW Monday 11:10 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. | Tuesday 1:45 p.m. – 2:40 p.m. B. Data based equipment and workflow decisions for lean, highly efficient vivarium operations Science Associates Jim Wallace – CEO Flad Architects Mark A. Corey, AIA – Principal This session sets out a tested and proven framework for taking animal facility operations to the next level of efficiency through the use of lean process optimization tools. Jim Wallace and Mark Corey illustrate operating plan refinements and facility design enhancements that result from vivarium specific time and motion process evaluation techniques. They examine five often overlooked operational problems and cost-effective solutions for both new construction and renovation. They draw on recent workflow assessments from facilities in the U.S., U.K., Germany, and Italy to illustrate newly found efficiencies involving allergen control, barrier and containment operations, ergonomics, ease of maintenance, energy use, and logistics. AIA HSW Monday 1:15 p.m. – 2:10 p.m. | Tuesday 10:35 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. C. New solutions for efficient relocation and consolidation: a case study Treanor Architects, P.A. David H. Livingood, AIA, CSI – Project Management Principal McCownGordon Construction Ramin Cherafat – Vice President Kansas State University Sally A. Olson, DVM – Assistant Director, Animal Resource Facility Kansas State University took only nine months to make room for the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) and completely relocate its Comparative Medicine Group Large Animal Research Center. The big takeaways here relate to maintaining operations during moves and relocations, the extreme compression of project execution, successfully controlling changes during construction, and the consolidation results achieved in terms of program capability and flexibility. Session leaders set out details on the planning and project management models, metrics on costs and time, and the achieved occupancy and operating results. AIA HSW Monday 1:15 p.m. – 2:10 p.m. D. Five-year plans for animal research programs and facilities: capacity, capability, and space utilization metrics Jacobs Consultancy, Inc. Josh Meyer, RA – Managing Principal University of Washington H. Denny Liggitt, DVM, Ph.D. – Director of Comparative Medicine Kirk R. Pawlowski, AIA – Assistant Vice Provost, Capital Resource Planning Will your current vivarium facilities be able to support the big research program and equipment changes that are coming in the next five years? What are the high-priority capital investments and upgrades that are now recommended to anticipate industry changes? Here, session leaders answer those questions and detail strategies for reconciling program growth forecasts, species trends, existing space capability, equipment innovations, and capacity. They draw from the University of Washington’s updated animal facility master plan and feasibility study to determine the best use of limited capital for short-, mid-, and long-term planning. AIA HSW Tuesday 11:45 a.m. – 12:40 p.m.
Register at www.TradelineInc.com/Animal2011 E. The impact of new ILAR and European guidelines for group housing of nonhuman primates Alternative Design Manufacturing & Supply, Inc. Don Daniels – National Sales Manager Lenderking Caging Products Michael Semenuk – President Changes in the ILAR Guide and ETS-123, the European guidelines, are causing many organizations to consider moving to group housing for non-human primates. One major pharmaceutical company has already made the shift. Learn here how group housing will impact facility plans, operating costs, and research quality as global institutions move to standardize operating protocols. Don Daniels and Michael Semenuk profile key elements of new guidelines for caging, options for enrichment areas, space requirements, sanitation components, lighting choices, and more. They also examine plans that facilitate converting NHP group-housing spaces for other species. AIA HSW Monday 11:10 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. | Tuesday 1:45 p.m. – 2:40 p.m. Operations (F-K) F. High animal facility efficiency and low operating costs with new MEP strategies CRB Consulting Engineers, Inc. Randall L. Poteat, PE, LEED AP – R&D/Vivarium Specialist Aaron Saggars, PE, LEED AP – R&D/Vivarium Specialist New thinking on MEP system design and its alignment with the latest vivarium operating protocols promises to lower construction and operating costs for both small and large animal facilities. Here, Randy Poteat and Aaron Saggars profile adaptive solutions for MEP systems that reflect current trends in research processes and animal housing. They provide a framework for choosing new construction and upgrade strategies that reconcile operating efficiency goals with construction budgets. They examine new technologies for air pressurization, air distribution, cage wash, watering, and plumbing. They reveal cost, efficiency, and HVAC performance numbers from recent projects. AIA HSW Monday 11:10 a.m. – 12:05 p.m. | Tuesday 11:45a.m. – 12:40 p.m. G. Dramatically reduce air changes for vivaria and still comply with ILAR/ AAALAC Aircuity, Inc. Gordon P. Sharp – Chairman Demand Based Control (DBC) for vivarium HVAC systems will cut energy costs dramatically and meet ILAR/AAALAC requirements for air change rates. DBC offers three to five times greater energy savings than traditional HVAC operational paradigms, and it can reduce first costs by allowing for lower HVAC infrastructure capacities. Gordon Sharp details how the technology works to lower airflow rates with real-time monitoring of room particulates and ammonia levels, improve work practices, and lower labor costs. He sets out upfront and operating cost savings for three different types of vivaria. AIA HSW Monday 2:25 p.m. – 3:20 p.m. | Tuesday 11:45 a.m. – 12:40 p.m. H. Operational based facility plans for vector-borne diseases: insectaries and vivaria together HDR Architecture Michael P. Mottet, LEED AP – Associate Vice President, Principal Laboratory Planner A new facility model now exists for the growing international research agenda on vector-borne diseases — a facility that houses both insectaries and vivaria in close proximity. Research and operational efficiencies are the driving forces, but combining insectaries and vivaria in a single facility requires special SOPs, physical components, and design and construction details. Michael Mottet sets out key features of efficient insectaries/vivaria solutions at two new CDC research buildings. He details applicable codes, standards, and regulations along with provisions for the logistical movement of people, animals, and equipment. He also scopes out air handling options along with upfront, operational, and maintenance costs. AIA HSW Monday 2:25 p.m. – 3:20 p.m. I. Advances in watering technology and the new models for labor efficiency and quality control ELGA Labwater Mat Hammond – Director Alan Mortimer – R&D Director The latest watering system technologies offer compelling benefits in lower operating costs, high water quality assurance, and protection against disease outbreaks. Here, Mat Hammond and Alan Mortimer profile those system advances and do the numbers on the new models for labor costs, water quality specifications and control, equipment and installation costs, and vivaria operating efficiencies. They examine options for automation, processes for streamlining water purification, operating protocols that reduce disease outbreaks, and the impact of watering system choices on space. AIA Tuesday 10:35 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. AIA Sessions qualify for AIA credit. HSW Sessions qualify for HSW credit. S Sessions qualify for AIA sustainable design credit. 11
