Submit New Campus BuildingsThe Chronicle is collecting information about newly-completed buildings, renovation projects, and campus spaces in the United States and Canada for our database of campus buildings. Information can be submitted either by institutions or architecture firms. At present we are seeking information only about buildings opening after January 1, 2004, although we hope eventually to expand the database. Please do not submit information for a project until it is complete and you are certain about the date on which it will be open for occupancy. The more accurate the information you submit, the more useful this database will be to you and others. We ask for your name and contact information in case it is necessary to verify any details. Information may be edited for brevity and style. If you have a question about a submission, please send an e-mail message to campusarchitecture@chronicle.com. NOTES: Building Type: For comparison purposes, buildings in the database are classified according to their uses, but the classifications are necessarily general and cannot reflect every activity that takes place in each building. As a guideline, buildings that house classrooms and faculty offices are "academic" unless they also contain traditional labs (labs with special ventillation equipment, for instance, rather than computer labs). Buildings with labs are "science" buildings, unless they contain clinics or are intended to serve other medical needs, in which case they are classified as "medical." New construction or renovation: Many projects involve renovating an existing building and adding to it at the same time. Such projects are listed as "new" if the addition is larger than the original building, and as "renovation" if the addition is smaller. Construction Cost: Construction cost is generally defined as the cost of putting up the building and equipping it with permanent fixtures -- items that, as one architect puts it, would not fall out if you turned the building upside down and shook it. If possible, do not include costs that are related to the construction of a building but are not actually part of it, such as relocation of utility lines in the vicinity. Program Statement: Space restrictions permit us to include only a few sentences about each building's intended uses and architectural and construction highlights. If you prefer to send a longer description of the building, we will trim it to fit. |
