2 DESIGN REVIEW AECOM

 Foreword

This edition of our Design Review presents

AECOM’s recent design work around the world
and our multidisciplinary approach to project
delivery.

Notable projects include infrastructure-

related design work such as 3 MiamiCentral,
a transit-oriented mixed-use building and
the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency
project which addresses sea level rise while
creatively incorporating public space into
the solution. The new Senate Building for the
Philippine Government, the China Shipping
Headquarters Building and the Center for
Cyber Innovation are all iconic and expressive
of their occupants’ brand and presence in
their respective communities. Intimately-
scaled interiors for Accenture in Barcelona
are technology-oriented and focused on
collaborative space for teams. Several
projects in this publication illustrate our
leadership in cities with innovative projects
that connect neighborhoods and integrate
design as infrastructure.

For us, it is the combined technical

excellence of our strategists, architects,
planners, engineers, designers, technical
specialists, economists, cost consultants and
construction and infrastructure professionals
that inspires and enables some of the best
design outcomes: turning challenges into
solutions and dreams to reality.

 BAGONG SENADO NEW SENATE BUILDING,
MANILA, PHILIPPINES

CIVIC ICON
Among forty entries narrowed to five teams,
AECOM’s winning design stood out to the Senate
Committee on Accounts and the Bases and
Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) as the
“conceptual design for the Senate’s permanent
home [that] best represents the honor, dignity
and legacy of this independent institution.” To
realize a decade-old plan, the BDCA assisted the
Philippines Senate in procuring an almost two-
hectare lot, located in a new expansion area of
Bonifacio Global City, a district in Metro Manila,
for the construction of the building. Reflecting
the Philippines’ growing confidence, the Senate
in late 2017 launched a global conceptual
design competition to kick off the development.
Translated as “Bagong Senado” in Filipino, the
“New Senate” building’s design was evaluated
for its iconic and unique design, constructability
and feasibility, sustainable and green design,
functionality and security. This building’s opening
is planned for July 2021.

THE BASIN This proposed master plan consists of four districts: the
Basin, Tower, Pier and Park Districts. Each district has a

REIMAGINED land side, establishing the urban edge of Red Hook and
a water side, essentially the land atop the piers which
consists largely of parks, esplanades and raised plazas.
The highest concentration of residential and commercial
uses and the tallest towers are located adjacent to
a future subway station. The entire development is
designed to create a barrier to flooding, using either
elevated land form or deployable structures to form a
continuous chain of protection for the adjacent Red Hook
neighborhood.

INFRASTRUCTURE
AECOM is leading a multi-disciplinary team that unites landscape architecture,
planning policy, urban design, architecture and engineering driven by a
shared goal to improve the physical, social and economic resiliency of Lower
Manhattan. The Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) Project is an
integrated coastal protection initiative aimed at reducing flood risk due to
coastal storms and sea level rise in Lower Manhattan. The 3.5-mile-long project
extends from the northern portion of Battery Park City to the Two Bridges
neighborhood. In concert with infrastructure resilience measures, the LMCR
Project aims to improve access to the waterfront and augment green space
in the neighborhoods it will traverse. The LMCR Project builds upon several
years of community planning efforts to improve the waterfront. Residents
provide critical input to shape the project through workshops, focus groups
and numerous other engagement activities, confirming a strong desire for more
green space, open space and recreation areas.

UPDATING A CLASSIC
Celebrating the history and spirit of the 1959 Max
Abramovitz-designed mid-century modern icon, the
reimagined State Farm Center at the University of
Illinois seamlessly integrates the comforts, technology,
revenue generation and experience of a contemporary
arena. A total transformation of the seating bowl and
fan experience resolves existing sight line issues and
introduces new premium products while aggressively
attacking site circulation, building circulation, entry and
arrival experience, level of service and accessibility
challenges. Additional improvements include new
administrative offices, an Illini Basketball Hall of Fame,
dramatically improved concourses and the creation of
four new hospitality lounges. A total replacement of
mechanical systems and controls, the introduction of
air conditioning, the replacement of all building lighting/
controls and electrical distribution system were also
part of the project scope. SFC is eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places and has received LEED
Gold certification.

Consolidating three previous locations into a new single space

in Barcelona provided the opportunity to reinforce Accenture’s
leadership in digital transformation while incorporating local
culture and history. The reception and meeting rooms are the
core areas of the project. They are highly reconfigurable and aim
to inspire and add value to employees and clients by integrating
technology. The fourth and fifth floors accommodate corporate
teams and are designed similar to the firm’s offices in Madrid.
The third floor houses the digital teams and is more visually
disruptive with graffiti, movable panels and reconfigurable
project areas. This floor occupies the historic building tower and
is used as a showcase space for latest technology. Overall, the
design reflects and strengthens Accenture’s brand as a future-

NET ZERO The State University of New York (SUNY) system’s new Science,
Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Center will be a

IMPACT model for future buildings at its main campus. Envisioned as

a “living laboratory,” the 24,000-square-foot STEM Center
consists of classrooms, labs, study lounges and symposium
space where students are able to measure and analyze the
various building systems. The STEM Center takes its cue from
the environment – the sun and the earth – to showcase Net
Zero ideas. Set as a rising triangular wedge column, the two-
story building is infused with natural light from all directions. A
series of stepped north-facing clerestory windows and a full
roof of PVs define the basic massing of the building. Nature is
represented by a low berm around three sides of the building,
providing enhanced insulation, and a large berm on the south
which leads to a demonstration green roof on the second floor.

Leveraging a new operating and speed-to-

market model, Cyberworx will more effectively
support a unity of effort in developing new
products, policies and systems that respond
to short, medium and long term security
threats. Through market testing of physical
and digital focus areas, we created a portfolio-
based approach to mission streams. An
implementation model was developed that
allocates missions to a portfolio area and then
defined study, development and response
times to interdisciplinary partnership teams.
A feedback loop ensures that lessons learned
inform subsequent streams. We developed
a model that aligns growth in training with
human resources, research funding and space
allocation. This assisted in creating a robust
program and design for the research facility.
