Design: Experience benefits environment too

an intft lure students together,
and were restoring the bridge
and stream wav."
The goal of the studio is to pro
vide students with experience in
taking a projet t front design
through tnripletion And the sto
dents are loving their time out
side
' This is a completely new
experience -.aid Mark Serhus,
also a filth year an.hltt* tun- stu
dent "In a design-build, you can
deal with the problems as they
i ante up because you are both
the designer and the contractor
And there is a definite design
build movement in the field right
now
Kristina Koltavarv, a second
year graduate student, said “it s
fun to see the design materialize
it s a great learning experience —
to apply what I've fawn doing on
pa|mr f hav e some previous con
struction expenem «. but the
tarn hers are encouraging us to do
stuff vse haven't done before,
which is great!"
The design-build progs < gives
students a more marketable set
of skills, said Will St urges, co
teacher and licensed architect for
the class
“The progs t is giving the slu
dents some familiarity with tools,
so it won't h« this big mystery
when they go to a construction
site in the future." St urges said
“And the students are gaining
confidence working wit It the
methods and materials of con
struction
"The purpose of the project is
to improve pedestrian safety
across the miltrnce, and to
improve the env ironmental con
dition of the millrai said Stan
lottos, landst architecture pro
fessor and oh«h Iter of the ( lass
'My goal is to have the students
see a connection between the
things they design and what gets
built,"
Which w ill make tin- students
think about design in a much
more Holistic way." he said. “It
has opened their eves to the
lessons of const ruction"
The pro jet t was offered to the
design-hutid class by the Uni
versity Physical Plant, the pub
lic works department for the
campus, when the plant discov
ered that the existing bridge was
unsafe for pedestrians So. the
plant decided to build another
bridge for people only, and to
rebuild the nearby stream bank
Ixs ause the high amount of duck
feeding along the millrai e had
Using a trowel, Jake Freautt smooths the corners on a new sidewalk
that will connect the bridge to the existing walkways and crosswalk
caused erosion
“This project is a microcosm
of all tin- real vs ork and problems
of a 'real' coastru< tion site." said
George Hecht, director of the
Physical Plant. “The students are
professionals, and they are work
ing like demons making the pro
as t come to life When the bridge
is done, i! will become a keynote
area on campus."
The students also believe that
the bridge they are creating will
be a monument to Eugene.
"We re getting to build some
thing for the school and the com
munity said Trich Male, a
third-year architecture student
Hei lit said the University
saved from $50,(Kill to $100,000
using the students as ti work fori a*
instead of hiring an outside team
of designers, contractors and
lalnirers
"The University made the most
of their resources." co-teacher
St urges said.
Spring term 1995, St urges
taught a seminar with 50 stu
dents. where the footbridge was
designed.
Students in the summer class,
taught by Jones and St urges, have
maintained a rigorous schedule,
developing tint remaining designs
lor the project in a little over a
week.
On the first day of summer se~,
sum. the students were divided
into 10 groups of three and were
told to brainstorm ideas for the
area On the second and third
days, the groups presented their
plans to their jieers < hi the fourth
day. the students took the 10
designs and < ante up with a con
sensus design, using the best
ideas from each of the 10 plans
Midway through the second
week, the students began doing
site work, excavation and layout.
Since the s*s ond week, the stu
dents have excavated trenches,
built tresses (or the bridge,
poured concrete and built reed
rolls, whic h are the foundation
of a new stream fsink
Alsu, access at the site will be
improved through the construc
tion of retaining wails and pudes
trian pathways which will be
enhanced bv Oregon-native
plants.
The target completion dale is
Aug. 4, if the weather permits,
and the students are on schedule
