Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics Governors Island Center for Climate Solutions Christine Roa, Selena Tan, Chana Tropp, Elisha Zhao Advisor: Tom Panayotidi In September 2020, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio announced plans to develop a Center for Climate Solutions on Governors Island to place New York City at the forefront of the race to combat climate change. The center would house labs, classrooms, a convention center, and other facilities to conduct research, develop sustainability solutions, and engage the visiting public with pioneering findings. Our Columbia Climate School Research Center is our response to the City of New York and the Trust for Governors Island’s allocation of $150 million to a global competition to design, build, operate, and maintain an imperative facility. Our building will be situated on the Island’s Western Development Zone, a prime location with views of the New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty and immediate ferry access to Manhattan and Brooklyn. As part of our efforts to make our building as environmentally conscious as possible, our design includes a cumulative footprint of 25,600 square feet of tiered rooftop gardens and green decks to mitigate stormwater runoff and reduce the heat island effect. This, along with a water harvesting and reuse system, onsite solar production, optimization of energy performance via demand response and energy metering, and life-cycle impact analyses of construction materials, have allowed us to certify our building with LEED Gold. We also emphasized flood mitigation in our design, due to the building’s location directly on the shore of the Upper New York Bay. Sitting atop an artificial hill constructed with imported soil, the facility will be raised to a design flood elevation of 14 feet over the 100-year floodplain, with sloped landscaping buffered by seawalls to provide a dual use of public recreational space. The structure is three stories tall with a 33,200 square footprint, rendering it flat and wide to minimize the stress on the low quality soil in Governors Island. It contains a steel frame with diagonal bracing to protect the building from seismic, wind, rain, and snow loads. Supporting the loads beneath the structure is a 100-feet-deep end-bearing pile foundation consisting of 136 steel pipe piles. The exterior walls are made from high performance Low-E glass to offer the facility’s occupants abundant sunlight and views of the surrounding greenery in addition to improving the building’s energy efficiency. Given the facility’s maximum occupancy rate of approximately 300 people at any given time, we incorporated a large auditorium in our building to host conferences and gatherings. We also included glass interior walls, modern offices and classrooms, and outside workspaces on the green decks, giving occupants convenient access to greenery. The structure was conceptualized in AutoCAD and then designed and analyzed in SAP2000. Scheduling was determined using a work breakdown structure, critical path network diagram, and Gantt Chart. Construction is expected to commence in 2023.

Civil Engineering & Engineering Mechanics The Lodge at Gore Mountain: Skiing Reimagined Maria Talero (Team Captain), Ricardo Aguilar, Daniel (Tak) Sohn, Andrew Zhang Advisor: Tom Panayotidi Our group proposes the redevelopment of the Gore Mountain base village in North Creek, New York. Gore Mountain ski resort is owned by New York State and operated by the Olympic Regional Development Authority. As the demand of new purpose-built ski resorts rises, this alpine resort in the Adirondack Mountains is redesigned to not only meet the future needs of skiers but also to support year-round operations. Our ski resort consists of upscale overnight accommodations for an unparalleled experience alongside daily regular ski operations, including ski rentals, a diner-style café, and gathering areas for taking a break from the slopes. The new ski resort will be roughly 225,000 square feet and contains state-of-the-art amenities, such as a spa, infrared sauna, remote work spaces, and yoga studios. Our proposal was developed considering the following fundamental aspects of civil engineering: Structural Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Construction Management. The structural components adhere to the applicable building codes and design requirements outlined in ASCE/SEI 7-16 and the Building Code of New York State. In addition, various loading configurations were considered to provide a resilient design to meet service life needs. The geotechnical slab foundation was designed based on an analysis of the strength of the area’s existing bedrock and soil components. The ski resort is compliant with a LEED Gold Certification and contains a rainwater harvesting system. Lastly, the construction of the resort used a Design-Build delivery method and leveraged the use of technological advances, such as a Building Information Modeling (BIM) execution plan, 4D construction scheduling, and virtual reality (VR).
