PK Yonge Developmental School

An unpredictable, high tech, innovation driven world requires a transformation in K-12 education!

P. K. Yonge' s architecture has always been significant to its influence on K-12 education. From pioneering the university laboratory school mission with professors residing in the building in 1934, to integrating the outdoors as a key educational component on the "new" K-12 campus in 1957, to today’s design innovations that will transform how students and teachers will work together in the 21st century.

P.K. Yonge is the nation’s preeminent lab school.  We are affiliated with top 10 University of Florida, and the number one College of Education.  Together we are in the midst of designing and testing a transformation in K12 education.

Installing our multi award winning, state-of-the-art, transformative 6-12 building will result in unparalleled educational opportunities for P.K. Yonge and UF College of Education students, as well as unique research opportunities for PKY and UF faculty dedicated to designing and testing a collaborative, inclusive, personalized, tech-enriched, inquiry-driven, mastery-based learning experience.

Our new 6th-12th grade building offers transformed learning spaces that will spark innovation and bring together interdisciplinary university faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students with nationally-recognized practicing K-12 teachers to invent the future of K-12 education. The three story structure includes 8 state-of-the-art STEM labs visible to the center core of the building, and 7 Learning Neighborhoods.

Each neighborhood includes a distance learning lab, seminar room, classrooms, small group project and meeting rooms, as well as collaborative and independent work stations in the common areas. Cutting-edge technology will be ubiquitous but unobtrusive.

P.K. Yonge will serve as a national and international demonstration site for transformations in school design that reduce square footage, cut construction costs, and greatly enhance the K-12 learning experience.

The school building lobby will house a multi-purpose first floor convening center providing space for multi-disciplinary researchers collaborating with P. K. Yonge faculty; University of Florida College of Education professors meeting with aspiring educators; as well as national and international teachers and school leaders meeting with P. K. Yonge's teaching faculty.  

Our students represent the diversity of our nation – 52% identify as minorities; 30% are economically disadvantaged; and 17% have learning differences.

Florida’s Art in State Buildings Program:

The Art in State Buildings (ASB) Program acquires artwork for new public facilities built with state funds. The program requires that up to .5% of the construction appropriation be set aside to acquire artwork for permanent display in, on or around the facility.

Since the program began in 1979, more than 1,000 works of art have been purchased or commissioned for Florida public spaces. You'll find them in nearly every Florida county, in locations such as state office buildings, Department of Transportation complexes, Department of Health facilities, courthouses, throughout state university and college campuses.

About Human Solutions

Human Solutions counters the forces that keep people and communities in poverty by building relationships and assets that create opportunity today and for future generations through: partnering with people and communities impacted by poverty so they can achieve long-term housing & economic security; investing in affordable housing and community assets that contribute to strong, inclusive neighborhoods; and, advocating with their community for policies & investments that expand housing & economic opportunity, eliminate wealth inequality and end poverty. Their 245-square-mile service area is the poorest part of the county and the most racially diverse in the state. It has long experienced underinvestment. Human Solutions works east of Portland, which has much higher incomes and far more amenities. All school districts in the area have a majority of students qualifying for free and reduced lunch. Dozens of languages are spoken; immigrants and refugees often land in this portion of the Portland metro area because it is relatively affordable, though less so now with rising rents and housing pressure from those displaced elsewhere in this increasingly high-cost region. Informed by the principles of trauma-informed care, Human Solutions worked to alleviate these issues through both community development and social service provision.

The Rose Fellow will help expand Human Solution’s capacity in:

Becoming thought leaders who educate and inspire the community to better understand the causes of poverty and homelessness (specifically historic and ongoing structural solutions)

Challenging the damaging narrative that dominate our culture: bootstrap mentality that fails to engage with systemic racism and broken systems

Benefits of becoming a Rose Fellow 

• Two-year fellowship position

• Intensive on-the-ground training in community development 

• Professional development stipend and opportunities

Dixie State University in partnership with the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management and the Utah Division of Arts & Museum Public Art Program is requesting artist or artist team qualifications for the creation of site-specific artwork(s) for the Dixie State University Science, Technology and Engineering Building in St. George, Utah.

DEADLINE FOR MATERIALS: April 24, 2020

DIXIE UNIVERSITY - SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING 
The College of Science, Engineering, and Technology offers Bachelor's degrees, Associate of Arts or Science degrees and Associate degrees in Applied Science. A Dixie State University education provides experience through undergraduate research while preparing students for their career. 

Courses offered in the Science, Engineering and Technology departments are well planned and designed to give students the best education possible. Classes and laboratories are designed to stimulate and increase students’ desire to learn and succeed.

This new building will enable the university to expand its academic offerings in computer, electrical and mechanical engineering along with biology, chemistry, physics, geology, physiology and genetic counseling. Graduates in these programs will go on to fill regional health care and technology workforce shortages.

Additionally, the facility will allow Dixie State to create technology, engineering and biotech pipeline programs with Intermountain Healthcare, the University of Utah and local tech industry partners.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Standing five stories high and consisting of 122,000 square feet of classrooms, laboratories and support spaces, the new Science, Technology & Engineering Building at Dixie State University will help meet the ever increasing demand for state-of-the-art science and engineering facilities required by so many of the majors offered by the university.  Disciplines that will be taught in this building include Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Genetics, Geo Sciences, Prototyping, Thermofluids, Mechatronics and Computer Sciences, to name a few.  From the beginning of the project, the various departments belonging to this building have expressed excitement to cohabitate and a desire for increased cross-disciplinary collaboration.

One key architectural response to this desire for collaboration was inspired by an oasis within a desert.  In a harsh desert environment, an oasis provides shelter, resources, and comfort sought out by all walks of life.  An oasis brings many unlikely life forms together to a place of cohabitation where all can enjoy the amenities that the oasis has to offer.  Strategically placed throughout the SET building are many shared “oasis” spaces for both students and faculty of all disciplines to enjoy, including a café, a variety of study areas, public roof-top terraces, and student and faculty break rooms.  In the main student study areas on each floor these “oases” are marked by a slat-wood ceiling design intended to evoke the feeling of being under a canopy of trees. The spaces where light peaks through tree branches in a canopy was geometricized and represented as voided triangles with carefully selected light fixtures to create an ambiance different from other areas of the building.  These main student study areas are located along the main pathway through the building creating a common ground for all disciplines to study, recharge, meet, and interact.

The location of this building and its relationship to campus also promotes interaction.  The SET Building sits at the extreme south end of its site and engages with the a main student thoroughfare, providing views into some of the building’s most interactive labs as well as a featured view into the mechanical room which will highlight the beauty of the intricate mechanical design required to make the science and engineering labs function.  Two tiered classrooms above span across the student thoroughfare and reach out towards the fountain.  On the north side of the building is an engineering yard just outside of the prototyping and project labs where engineering students can wheel out large projects to work in the open air.  The engineering yard also provides an open space outside for students to showcase their work to the public on certain occasions such as the Dixie Design Days event.

The exterior building materials were selected from a color palette to be “of the desert”.  The base of the building is clad in Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) panels, which becomes a visual plinth that the building rests upon.  A glass curtain wall system populates the north and south facades, allowing for daylighting into the science labs and views out across campus and to the desert landscape beyond. 

The south curtainwall is equipped with sunshades to mitigate glare and solar heat gain. The east and west facades are clad with Copper metal panels which are expected to patina to a rich dark brown color in Southern Utah’s arid environment. Copper’s thermal, conductive, geological, chemical and microbial properties seem to give this metal a special relevance and meaning to each discipline in this building, making this building material particularly appropriate for a building that celebrates different forms of knowledge coming together to spark innovation and collaboration.

COMMITTEE STATEMENT
The Selection Committee asks that interested artist consider:
Active Learning / Active Life is the vision for Dixie State University and informs this facility design as well as the learning and teaching in the College of Science, Technology and Engineering.

The College is creating a space to design and make. The intent is impact and less as spectator or lecture. This building will be a dense “beehive” of activity with “do space” for students and faculty working in “maker spaces.” The aim is innovation, collaboration and inspiration.

The science themed and rich materiality of the building design provides many opportunities for the integration of an artist’s interpretation into the architecture and site. 

The Selection Committee is open to artist suggested sites, both interior and exterior, but has identified areas that would likely not be ideal sites for public art: west side exterior, stairwells, glass / windows, or north portion of student lounge. The southern exterior sidewalk / plaza is a fire lane and cannot be obstructed. Lastly, the windows into the laboratories facing the plaza are designed to allowing viewing into and out of the labs and should be considered for any proposals involving those areas.

The attached plans and elevations have been marked with some of the potential sites as identified by the Committee understanding that artists may see other opportunities / sites.

DIXIE STATE UNIVERSITY
Dixie State University is a public comprehensive university dedicated to rigorous learning and the enrichment of the professional and personal lives of its students and community by providing opportunities that engage the unique Southern Utah environment and resources.

Dr. Richard B. Williams, President of Dixie University writes, “As a regional state university, we promote our campus-wide culture of learning by providing our students with rigorous instruction and personalized attention delivered by a talented roster of highly trained and educated faculty. We are proud to offer nearly 60 undergraduate programs and 44 highly sought after bachelor degree programs. As part of our mission, Dixie State has also maintained its role as a community college in providing several educational and vocational opportunities to our students. We embrace and celebrate a culture of values and we take pride in fostering a spirit of service, citizenship, diversity, ethics and collaboration – all of which are hallmarks of a true university.”

ST. GEORGE / WASHINGTON COUNTY, UTAH  
St. George is the county seat of Washington County, Utah. It is located in the southwestern part of the state near the Arizona and Nevada borders. The city lies in the northeasternmost part of the Mojave Desert, adjacent to the Pine Valley Mountains near the convergence of three distinct geological areas: the Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau, and Great Basin. The city is 118 miles (190 km) northeast of Las Vegas and 300 miles (480 km) south-southwest of Salt Lake City. The St. George area is well known for its natural environment and proximity to several state and national parks.

As of the 2018 U.S Census estimates, the city had a population of 87,178, and the St. George metropolitan area had an estimated population of 171,700.  St. George is the seventh-largest city in Utah and most populous city in the state outside of the Wasatch Front.

St. George was identified as the fastest growing metropolitan area in the U.S. in 2018. St. George ranked most secure and best place to live in the United States in 2006, and was rated among the top 10 best small cities in the country for business and careers by Forbes.

The Virgin River Anasazi were St. George’s earliest residents, inhabiting the area from approximately 200 B.C. to 1200 A.D. They left behind rock art and ruins of their dwellings. The reason for their departure is unknown to this day. The Paiute tribe arrived between 1100 and 1200 A.D., utilizing the area as a hunting ground for deer, rabbits and other animals. The Paiutes also grew crops along the riverbeds, including corn, wheat and melons. In 1776, the Dominguez-Escalante Party became the first recorded European-Americans to visit the area. Fur trappers and government survey parties followed.

St. George became the county seat of Washington County in 1863. In 1911, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of St. George’s settling, the Dixie Stake Academy building was constructed. The LDS Church operated the academy until 1933, when it became a two-year college within Utah’s higher education system. The new Dixie College campus opened in the southeastern corner of the city in the 1960’s.

Description

ABOUT THE BRONX MUSEUM OF THE ARTS “The Bronx Museum of the Arts is one of the city’s more animated and resilient cultural spaces...and because the Bronx Museum’s exhibitions reflect its constituency, this institution is an important player in shaping New York art of both the present and the future.” – The New York Times Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021, The Bronx Museum of the Arts (BXMA) is an internationally recognized contemporary art museum that connects diverse audiences to the urban experience through its permanent collection, special exhibitions, and education programs. Reflecting the borough's dynamic communities, the BXMA is the crossroad where notable and emerging artists, local residents, national and international visitors meet. In 1986, the BXMA began collecting works on paper by artists of African, Asian and Latin American ancestry to "reflect the borough's dynamic communities," a policy that was adapted in 1992 to include works in all media. Currently, the Museum owns over 2,000 contemporary artworks in all media and include works by artists Nina Chanel Abney, Rashid Johnson, Sara Sze, Glen Ligon, Huma Bhabha, Martin Wong, Julie Curtis, Arcmanoro Niles, and Jonathan Lyndon Chase. Today, the BXMA is proud of its distinct permanent collection and how it reflects the diversity of the Bronx and represents the Borough’s history. The BXMA has also been recognized for its critically acclaimed exhibitions which included this year’s Henry Chalfant: Art vs. Transit, 1977-1987, The Life and Times of Alvin Baltrop (2019), Eddie Martinez: White Outs (2018-2019), Diana Al Hadid: Delirious Matter (2018), Angel Otero: Elegies (2017-2018), Gordon Matta-Clark: Anarchitect (2017), Martin Wong: Human Instamatic (2016), ¡Presente! The Young Lords in New York (2015), and Sarah Sze: Triple Point (Planetarium) (2014). The BXMA’s universal free admission policy supports its mission to make arts experiences available to all audiences of all ages and is made up of school students, Bronx families, residents across New York City, the Tri-state area, and international tourists. In addition to thought-provoking exhibitions, BXMA’s arts experiences include robust education initiatives such as Cultural After-School Adventures (CASA) and Art A Catalyst For Change series (an anti-gun violence campaign for local middle and high school students), as well as public programs, and community engagement which draw an annual museum audience of 100,000. One of the Museum’s most impressive commitment to the New York artist community is its AIM Fellowships, which offers career management resources to guide emerging artists through the often opaque professional practices of the art world. Mentored by a distinguished faculty of industry experts, AIM Fellows engage in a four-month-long series of intensive seminars and activities that aid artists in building sustainable studio practices while expanding peer and professional networks. Since its founding in 1980, AIM has provided pivotal career support to a diverse roster of over 1,200 of New York's most promising artists. The BXMA is also a member of the New York City Cultural Institutions Group comprised of 33 institutions located on City-owned property and receiving significant capital and operating support from the City. About the Bronx The Bronx is one of the most ethnically and socio-economically varied constituencies in the U.S., composed largely of Latino and African American populations and is as rich in its history as it is in its diversity. In addition to the Bronx Museum, the Borough is an up and coming global tourist attraction, as it is the birthplace of hip-hop music and the home of the Yankees. It is also known to have the best zoos and gardens in its 42-and-a-half square mile area. The Opportunity BXMA seeks a bold, innovative Director to lead with vision, energy, and ambition. The new Director will take the BXMA to the next transformative and strategic phase of the museum’s development. This includes creating and implementing an exciting 50th-anniversary celebration in 2021 as well as a $14 million capital improvement project which has already been funded to improve the community gallery spaces and the visitor experience. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the Director provides the vision and strategic direction and is responsible for BXMA’s overall management, including its collections; exhibitions and education and community engagement programs; physical, financial and human resources; and its future growth and development. The Director, with the support of and in partnership with the Board of Trustees, ensures the continued financial strength of the museum through active fundraising and appropriate earned revenue pursuits while remaining true to BXMA’s Core Values outlined in the current strategic plan. S/he will oversee a staff of 25 full-and part-time employees and an operating budget of approximately $3.9 million.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

About the Animal and Food Sciences Laboratories Building

Completed in 2014, the Animal and Food Sciences Laboratories building houses two departments of the LSU AgCenter including the School of Animal Sciences and the School of Nutrition and Food Sciences. The LSU AgCenter Biotechnology Laboratory's Cell Culture Service Lab is also in the building. The two-story 47,750 square foot research facility includes 29 main laboratories, a professional test kitchen, and a world class food sensory testing facility. The modern facility has attracted collaborative use from several other AgCenter and A&M Campus Department personnel.

Areas of Animal Science research being conducted in these labs include Microbiology, Immunology, Serology, Disease Diagnostics, Molecular Biology, Vaccine Development, Genetics, Reproductive Biology, Physiology, Meat Analysis, Meat Chemistry, Ruminant Nutrition, and Cell Culture. Twelve of these laboratories are used by the School of Animal Sciences faculty, staff, and graduate students.

The School of Nutrition and Food Sciences research variou facets of food chemistry, food safety and security, functional foods and packaging, food choice and consumer behavior, food microbiology, and ingredient development.

There is a strong outreach to Louisiana entrepreneurs interested in the development of their personal unique food lines. Staff works with family and their recipes to help develop them into marketable products.

About the Public Art Site: Medallions and Courtyard

Medallion locations on all sides of the facility await artwork that represent the research conducted at the facility. A selected proposal will likely include multiples of at least six original designs which may be installed across the building's twenty-six locations.

The builing entry faces a courtyard that was created as part of the project and is an opportunity for sculpture tied to this and the adjacent facilities, all in the Animal and Food Sciences arena. This space also serves as occasional vehicular access for the adjacent buildings which is an influencing factor for an art piece.

The project is intended to be expressive of the mission of the colleges associated with the building. Art can be figurative or abstract. In either case, the message is to be positive and expressive of the research and advancements generated within the building.

University of Florida

Located in the heart of North Central Florida, the University of Florida (http://ufl.edu) is one of America’s premier public Universities and is the first Florida school to break into the list of top 10 best public universities, coming in at No. 7, according to the 2019 U.S. News & World Report Best Colleges rankings.  The University of Florida is one of the largest universities in the United States and students from more than 100 countries attend UF’s 20 colleges and 100 interdisciplinary research and education centers and institutes. 

UF has a 2,000-acre campus and more than 900 buildings, including the first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum- certified building in the state of Florida. 

PK Yonge Developmental School

An unpredictable, high tech, innovation driven world requires a transformation in K-12 education!

P. K. Yonge' s architecture has always been significant to its influence on K-12 education. From pioneering the university laboratory school mission with professors residing in the building in 1934, to integrating the outdoors as a key educational component on the "new" K-12 campus in 1957, to today’s design innovations that will transform how students and teachers will work together in the 21st century.

P.K. Yonge is the nation’s preeminent lab school.  We are affiliated with top 10 University of Florida, and the number one College of Education.  Together we are in the midst of designing and testing a transformation in K12 education.

Installing our multi award winning, state-of-the-art, transformative 6-12 building will result in unparalleled educational opportunities for P.K. Yonge and UF College of Education students, as well as unique research opportunities for PKY and UF faculty dedicated to designing and testing a collaborative, inclusive, personalized, tech-enriched, inquiry-driven, mastery-based learning experience.

Our new 6th-12th grade building offers transformed learning spaces that will spark innovation and bring together interdisciplinary university faculty, undergraduate, and graduate students with nationally-recognized practicing K-12 teachers to invent the future of K-12 education. The three story structure includes 8 state-of-the-art STEM labs visible to the center core of the building, and 7 Learning Neighborhoods.

Each neighborhood includes a distance learning lab, seminar room, classrooms, small group project and meeting rooms, as well as collaborative and independent work stations in the common areas. Cutting-edge technology will be ubiquitous but unobtrusive.

P.K. Yonge will serve as a national and international demonstration site for transformations in school design that reduce square footage, cut construction costs, and greatly enhance the K-12 learning experience.

The school building lobby will house a multi-purpose first floor convening center providing space for multi-disciplinary researchers collaborating with P. K. Yonge faculty; University of Florida College of Education professors meeting with aspiring educators; as well as national and international teachers and school leaders meeting with P. K. Yonge's teaching faculty.  

Our students represent the diversity of our nation – 52% identify as minorities; 30% are economically disadvantaged; and 17% have learning differences.

Florida’s Art in State Buildings Program:

The Art in State Buildings (ASB) Program acquires artwork for new public facilities built with state funds. The program requires that up to .5% of the construction appropriation be set aside to acquire artwork for permanent display in, on or around the facility.

Since the program began in 1979, more than 1,000 works of art have been purchased or commissioned for Florida public spaces. You'll find them in nearly every Florida county, in locations such as state office buildings, Department of Transportation complexes, Department of Health facilities, courthouses, throughout state university and college campuses.
