[edit] Projects
Office and Disaster Operations Center for American Red Cross, Cincinnati, OH The new Headquarters and Disaster Operations Center was conceived as a quality facility that supports and advances one of the top performing chapters in the nation by conveying a compatible, yet distinctive, contemporary identity that raises community awareness. On I-71, over 130,000 vehicles daily encounter the prominent logo of the American Red Cross and a building that speaks to its mission. The three story stone wall, with its lively pattern of windows and masonry, evokes the strength and dynamism of relief operations in the midst of chaos. The glazed-top tower suggests a beacon and focus above the fray. The transparent lobby emerging from the hillside is inspired by one of the most profound gifts of the Red Cross to the individuals it serves – a vision of hope and ultimately, renewal. Aiding the pursuit of LEED Gold Certification, sustainable technologies, such as geoexchange, bioretention and a vegetated roof, reflect the stewardship that the Red Cross possesses. http://emersiondesign.com/arc.html
Security Forces Operations Center, Wright-Patterson AFB, OH This $14-million, 52,000-square-foot facility was designed to allow for the consolidation of security forces into a centralized location on base. The headquarters facility establishes a strong formal presence at the main entrance of the base. The site is located adjacent to existing facilities that security forces make use of in order to promote efficiency in operations and response time. Essential field operations spaces, including the armory and locker rooms, are located adjacent to parking to allow for rapid deployment. In order to create the visual of two anchors framing a main courtyard, the office tower mirrors the entry tower of the adjacent building. The architectural language of the headquarters building articulates the cohesiveness with the existing buildings, creating a coherent complex. The project included complex phasing to allow the adjacent Combined Arms Training and Maintenance Facility to remain operational throughout construction. http://emersiondesign.com/sfoc.html
