University of Phoenix Riverpoint Center
Riverpoint Center is located at I-10 & 32nd Street in Phoenix, Arizona. The University of Phoenix on-line campus and corporate headquarters building design was meant to be uniquely regional in the response to the desert southwest incorporating natural materials of stone, copper, glass, concrete and steel. The goal was to control the sun and maximize the daylight back into the building. The buildings were elongated along the east/west axis maximizing the north and south exposures, providing natural daylight into the open office spaces to help reduce energy consumption and provide for a healthier work environment. Each building façade was designed to respond to its own exposure: shading on the west and east side is provided by narrow, deep set windows; horizontal metal shade fins were utilized on the southern exposure to control the harsh southern light. An under floor air distribution system was utilized to allow for better environmental control of each work space while reducing energy costs. Indirect lighting was utilized throughout the open office system creating a better working environment. This system reduces glare, is cost efficient and reduces the number of light fixtures required. Water was introduced at the lower level exterior dining area in combination with groves of trees to create a cooler microclimate and to help mitigate the adjacent freeway noise. The Apollo Group is a technology driven company and the design of these buildings reflect this technology.

As it later turned out peak flow was miscalculated by the customer and it was necessary to increase the number of pumping units. Griffin added additional pumps to handle the flow without disrupting the project. When unforeseen circumstances arise Griffin does what is needed to get the job done.

West Sedona Elementary Campus Additions and Renovations
The beauty and serenity of the Sedona red rocks coupled with the vision of creating an exemplary learning environment has provided a unique opportunity for a comprehensive redevelopment of the West Sedona School campus. The campus masterplanning effort is in response to the Sedona-Oak Creek Unified School District's bond program that provides for the redevelopment of each of the campuses. In addition to being exemplary learning environments, which speak to the changing technology, the district also has a goal of achieving net zero increase in utilities. West Sedona School is a K-8 school catering to 550 students. The redevelopment is focusing on unifying the campus style buildings with a distinctive identity. Similar to the magic of the red rocks, which transform you emotionally and spiritually, the school design is inviting, inspiring and educationally stimulating. With the help of administration, staff, students and the community, the masterplan specifically addressed issues of the students, parents and traffic flow. The campus is a 200-acre site that has individual buildings by grades. The new building replacement includes a multi- purpose/administration building of approximately 11,700 SF, K-2nd grade classroom building of approximately 15,180 SF and 3rd – 5th grade classroom building of approximately 23,200 SF. The new additions to the campus are built with masonry and wood roof framing, emphasizing the roof forms which mimic the adjoining mountains. Special attention is paid to ensure that every classroom has a minimum of 2% daylight. Although the campus is not going to pursue LEED certification, the design includes an integrated environmental design approach with an emphasis on creating healthy indoor learning environments through the use of recycled materials, formaldehyde free cabinets and zero VOC paints. The building design also includes water conservation and energy conservation strategies to become a teaching tool for sustainability. A key element of the design is the integration of photovoltaics into the project that will be monitored by the students as a part of their science project.

Estrella Mountain Community College Mariposa Hall
The concept of the new construction of the approximate 25,500 SF Mariposa Hall expansion is to create spaces that educate and inspire individuals to think critically about ones environment. The core-group goals of creating collective learning spaces, outdoor learning environments, integrating art and learning, having a new high-tech image while respecting the character of the existing campus and producing an environmentally-responsible building (under LEED Silver certification) were all critical to the design impetus. Site planning and landscape design for Mariposa Hall play an integral role in both the future master planning of EMCC and the expansion of learning opportunities. Siting Mariposa Hall as a campus node affords the opportunity to extend a future mall alignment while maintaining connection to the existing campus circulation system. The masterplan vision enabled the college to set a sustainable vision for the entire campus. Exemplary learning and work environments are achieved through healthy environments. Several attainable LEED goals were selected in order to help create healthy exemplary environments for all who may interface with these buildings. Many of these goals will also contribute to the energy efficiency, and long-term flexible use for the buildings, creating a facility that is healthy and adaptable.

John C. Lincoln Breast Care Center
The new JCL Breast Care Center's goal was to create a state of the art, patient-centered, spa-like experience for both men and women alike. The entry emulates a hotel lobby with a large glass chandelier, clean-lined furniture and alpaca textiles. A white carved floral feature wall elegantly displays the facility name behind a curved chocolate wood front desk with glowing pink 3form transaction tops and marble mosaic tiles. The lighting is subdued and flexible, creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. The patient is escorted back to dressing rooms containing their own personal corner sink, waffle-weave robe and double sided lockers. There is a comfortable, upholstered built-in bench for seating and velvet draperies for privacy. A glass sconce provides subtle lighting to ease stress. Wallcovering lines the walls in a soft paisley pattern. The carpeting gives a boutique feel with its plush chocolate, carmel and hot pink stripes. The waiting areas are divided into a Screening and Diagnostic Lounge. Velvet draperies with pink tassel tie-backs frame the entry, creating a more intimate space. Each one displays beautiful, peaceful artwork. Bottled water is offered in glass undercounter refrigerators. Top-down translucent honeycomb shades accentuate the beautiful blue sky, blocking the shopping center next door. Attention was paid to every detail. The restrooms have decorative grab bars to meet ADA requirements without feeling institutional. Hands-free Kohler Purist faucets are provided for a clean, minimalist look. Stone-looking Corian gives an elegant feel while minimizing future maintenance issues. Textured, glazed, rectangular porcelain tiles resemble an upholstered linen wall, further supporting a boutique look.

John C. Lincoln Deer Valley Fourth Floor Ortho Unit
Patient Safety, Circulation and Overall Efficiency became the top design goals for John C. Lincoln Deer Valley's buildout of the existing fourth floor in the hospital's 2005 tower expansion into a consolidated Orthopedic unit. Architects evaluated the existing Med Surg and ICU Units (floors 2 and 3) to coordinate adjacencies, efficiencies and future flexibility through extensive input from all users and administration. Results centered around the answers to what was going "right," what "not to do" "wish lists" and implementation of new innovation. Evidence Based Design research was integrated into the new unit and improved the layout by replicating the design of the Med Surg floor at the patient room area, and the layout of staff and circulation at the core area of the ICU to provide efficient circulation and improved work space, additional storage and reduction of travel distances to spaces used most often.

John C. Lincoln North Mountain Surgery Center
The North Mountain Surgery Center is an ambulatory surgery center, which includes a range of same-day surgeries for orthopedics, plastic surgery, urology, podiatry, pain management and more. The Center was designed around the rich colors of nature. Strong contrasts of espresso wood and buttery venetian plaster provide the look of a modern living room. Glass mosaic tiles greet each guest at the front of the reception desk. A planter of sculptural flowers lines the feature wall that announces the facility name. Brightly colored artwork brings life to the soft neutral walls while glass-looped chandeliers create an illuminated pattern with their reflection. The transition back to the Pre-Op area is a stressful walk for most patients. Therefore, this corridor was paid special attention with its design of embossed soft golden green venetian plaster and decorative art planters. The glass-looped chandeliers light the path gently with their sparkly dangling loops. Pre-Op's casework has the same language in its design as the front desk. The floors are a wood-looking sheet vinyl providing both warmth and easy maintenance. The cubicle curtains have a two-toned organic pattern, bringing a visual of nature into the space. The OR is typically looked at as a functional, back-of-house area, but our client felt differently. This space is the office of their finest physicians and the patient also experiences this environment, as most are escorted back on foot. Therefore, we incorporated a tone-on-tone mural into each of the four ORs and Procedure Room, each room having a different design.

James Learning Center at the Highlands Center for Natural History - Landscape
An 11-acre Prescott National Forest special-use parcel is the campus for this Prescott-based environmental-education organization. T. Barnabas Kane & Associates created a site plan and landscape design to incorporate an amphitheater, parking lot, restrooms and the 4,300-square-foot James Learning Center, certified LEED Gold. The design works in tandem with the building to reach heating and cooling and exceptional water-efficiency goals. The rainwater harvesting system integrates building and hardscape run-off, creating high-value, self-irrigated habitat. Plantings were designed to maximize daylighting options. The landscape design links the arboretum, National Forest trail system, a waste-management wetland, and water collection systems that feed drought-resistant, salvaged native plantings. Local artists also created lighting, fencing, and public sculptures for the project, as well as custom rainwater collection equipment that doubles as sculpture.

Yavapai Regional Medical Center - Landscape
Yavapai Regional Medical Center East, the 50-bed, state-of-the-art sister facility of the Yavapai Regional Medical Center in Prescott, opened in May 2006. Located on 37 acres, the project incorporates design elements that emphasize the hospital's mission of creating a "total healing environment." The project is located on an exposed site continuously buffeted by high winds, an environmental factor that presented our biggest challenge. T. Barnabas Kane & Associates used vertical hardscape elements such as stone monoliths and steel panels by a local sculptor to serve as protective windbreaks. The plant palette focused on primarily native, extremely well-adapted species. Outdoor waiting room gardens at the front and side entries were developed using contrasting geometry and decorative metal panels to organize space.

Northern Arizona University Applied Research & Development Building -- Landscape
A gateway to Northern Arizona University's scenic mountain campus, the Applied Research and Development Facility is part of the school's interdisciplinary Center for Sustainable Environments. Among design goals are creation of an architectural landmark and achievement of LEED platinum-level certification. Landscape Architects T. Barnabas Kane & Associates teamed with design architects Hopkins of London and Tucson-based Wald- Hopkins Architects to develop a site plan and landscape design to unify building systems and create habitat. The plan was organized around a municipal on-campus basin, a potential constraint fund asset, to help meet the project goal of reducing water consumption by 60 percent. By using site-excavated limestone, organizing run-off into planted bioswales and specifying plantings for an interior atrium and green roof, the design effectively manages water in the arid and cold Flagstaff climate. We used collected rainwater and gray water to irrigate the required lawn. Planting themes ranged from native Ponderosa Pine and "montane" restorations to screen off an adjacent shopping center loading dock, to native and well-adapted exotic plants that will fit existing campus themes at the street frontage.

Kieckhefer Strolling Garden at the Margaret T. Morris Center for
The Margaret T. Morris Center is an assisted-living facility serving people with Alzheimer's disease and other memory-loss disorders. It emphasizes dignity and encourages residents and their families to engage life. The client wanted to provide a safe, tranquil place for residents and families to interact with nature, exercise the mind, and soothe the spirit. Landscape Architects T. Barnabas Kane & Associates added a handicapped access-way to the existing garden path to simplify circulation and loop back to the patio, which we doubled, covered with an open lattice sunshade, and edged with planters. We added hands-on play areas, engaging artwork, and several secluded gathering places, including shaded gazebos and a council ring. As residents travel the meandering walkways, their senses are stimulated by a series of garden features. They're accompanied by sounds of falling water, rustling leaves, and bird song. Sculptures by local artists nest among colorful native plants. Hummingbirds and butterflies cavort in fragrant pollinator gardens. Fish feed in the koi pond. Residents garden in the raised beds and play in the sand planters, hand painted by residents under the guidance of a local artist. As the garden matures, residents want to be outdoors more, an inspirational testimony to our accomplishment. Winner, 2007 American Horticultural Therapy Association Garden Design Award

Constructed within the existing building footprint, the new pool boasts two (2) one-meter and two (2) three-meter diving boards to both host and train NCAA men's and women's diving. The 770,000-gallon reinforced shotcrete pool is equipped with epoxy/acrylic deck coating. Although the university does not currently have water polo as a NCAA sport, the facility has been designed to accommodate this growth, improving the Rebel's future sporting programs. The project included demolition of the 30-year-old, 500,000-gallon aluminum pool, which began March 21, 2009. Counsilman-Hunsaker, a full-service engineer, planning and design firm, provided aquatic design consultation for the $4.4 million design/build project.
