// expertise driven design®
We believe that knowledge is as critical to great design as creativity. Expertise – the
deep knowledge that comes from research and experience – enables us to harness
creativity in ways that deliver exceptional value to clients. Creativity, in turn, drives us
to explore, question, and continuously advance our understanding of how the built
environment influences human behavior – and how buildings and their systems
impact the natural environment. The fusion of expertise and creativity yields a
powerful dynamic that advances each client’s mission through unique architectural
expressions that enrich human experience.
// modernization
Who we are
EYP’s Modernization practice uniquely integrates architecture, engineering, energy,
and interior design to deliver superior building performance that endures. We believe
that Modernization is more than system and building upgrades – it’s an attitude
about maximizing existing assets to achieve the highest possible functionality, energy
performance, and user experience. Our holistic approach transforms buildings, visibly and/
or invisibly, unlocking their potential to serve client’s needs today and into the future. We
listen, advise, and deliver enduring design excellence through disciplined innovation.
What we do
Buildings are dynamic entities that present multiple opportunities for improvement:
renewal, reinvention, even transformation. Our Modernization experts are deeply
knowledgeable about the issues and constraints presented by older, even historic structures.
EYP has the integrated A/E/E/I expertise needed to understand and evaluate a building’s
potential in order to identify the design solutions that best serve client and user needs.
Our data-driven approach, informed by independent research, utilizes proprietary energy
software tools that help take control of building energy performance.
How we work
EYP planners, experts, and designers engage in planning and design charrettes to
gain a holistic understanding of an organization’s needs and the building’s issues
and opportunities. We consider every aspect of the building – including functionality,
operations, energy use, cultural significance, institutional brand, and workplace ethos – to
create a cohesive, cost-effective, high-performance design solution that fits the established
schedule and budget. Expert analyses lay the comprehensive groundwork for a dynamic,
realistic framework that helps inform decision-making. We work closely with clients, users
and stakeholders to develop a virtually new building with flexibility for future adaptation.

Birch Bayh Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse Renovation
Modernization strategies invisibly transform
this monumental landmark into a “machine
for sustainability” that measurably
mitigates the site’s urban heat island effect,
decreases the building’s carbon footprint,
and adds hundreds of thousands of gallons
of water to the city’s supply every year.
GSA committed to making this distinguished
example of Beaux-Arts architecture a
highly desirable, sustainable workplace –
one that was also safe, comfortable, and
secure – that helps the city keep and attract
jobs. Our design includes new mechanical,
fire suppression, and alarm systems, new
windows, and a green roof. A detailed
preservation analysis of the building enabled
the team to create a strategic roadmap that
guided decisions about equipment locations
and the sensitive threading of new systems
through delicate historic fabric.
The most visible improvement is a 30,000 SF
vegetative roof, located on the light-court
roof, visible only from the building’s inwardfacing windows. The vegetative roof, cool
white upper roofs, and rainwater harvesting
system are key components of the
sustainable design strategy. The vegetative
roof system – one of the largest of its kind
on a building listed on the National Register
of Historic Places – absorbs less heat than
a typical dark membrane roof and provides
increased insulation, reducing the building’s
cooling load.

Widener Library Renovation
Cambridge, MA
The modernization of this campus icon
embodies many of the typical challenges
facing the renewal of public and
institutional architecture at a high level.
New elements accentuate and celebrate
Horace Trumbauer’s landmark original
design, while seamlessly integrating the
new program and systems necessary
to ensure patron comfort, collections
security, and a state-of-the-art workplace
environment for staff.
We initially focused on weaving stateof-the art building systems – particularly
environmental controls – within the
historic fabric. Restricted by the original
donor bequest to working within the
building envelope, the team developed
an innovative strategy for the infill of two
light courts. This found space now contains
new circulation cores, space for mechanical
equipment, and staff workspaces, topped
by two signature sky-lit reading rooms.
New systems, lighting, fire protection,
and security upgrades were seamlessly
integrated into all of the historic spaces,
and historic materials renewed and
conserved, infusing these carefully
restored rooms with the environment,
technology, and finishes appropriate for a
modern library and a world-class building.
All work followed an implementation
plan developed jointly by EYP and the
Construction Manager that allowed the
continuous use of the facility during the
renovation.

//Princeton University Princeton, NJ
Hamilton, Holder & Madison Halls
Three historic Collegiate Gothic structures
were modernized to accommodate a
21st-century residential college program
while preserving their historic character.
Extensive exterior repair and interior
renovation improved accessibility and
circulation patterns.
After the programming for Holder Hall
was completed, the University initiated a
change in its Residential College program.
Three of its six two-year colleges –
including Mathey – were redesignated
as four-year colleges, requiring the
introduction of new graduate student
apartments into the design. Throughout
the building, student rooms, bathrooms,
and common spaces were renovated,
and in many instances, rearranged.
We depressed the floor elevation and
excavated along the south façade to
incorporate study rooms, student activity
rooms, music practice rooms, a student
lounge, and a new student art gallery.
Work subsequently addressed the adjacent
Hamilton and Madison Halls which
include rooms for both underclassmen and
upperclassmen; administrative offices,
dining halls, and common rooms for both
Mathey and Rockefeller Colleges; and
student lounges, campus bakery, computer
cluster, library, theater, and seminar rooms.

William S. Moorhead Federal Office Building
Efficiency in design and execution mark the
modernization of this Pittsburgh high-rise.
Once a symbol of the United States’ postWar optimism, the building had become
outmoded, inefficient, and unappealing.
Work focused on replacing the curtain
wall to not only improve the aesthetic
appearance of the building’s exterior but
also to prevent infiltration and thermal
loss. We transformed the ventilation,
using a variable air volume (VAV) with
heat recovery system, and we convinced
stakeholders to use harmonic cancelation
transformers, which are 98 percent more
efficient than the standard transformers
used in the building.
Planning and anticipating tenant needs
were key to the success of this program.
Phased construction and the judicious use
of swing space allowed daily operations
in this large facility to carry on without
interruption throughout the project.
The result is a LEED Silver, Energy Starrated building that securely houses more
than 50 government agencies, with a 28
percent reduction in total energy costs.
The building’s exterior facelift and interior
upgrade give GSA a forward-looking
image while creating a comfortable work
environment for its employees.

Lamont Library & Cafe
The modernized Lamont Library
accommodates the changing ways in
which students learn, communicate, and
study in a 24/7 environment. Designed
for future flexibility and adaptability,
the building meets the evolving needs
of library users, incorporates the latest
technologies, and ensure the security
and accessibility of specialized learning
resources, such as Government documents
and multimedia collections.
We created a Master Plan to guide the
upgrade of all systems within this 85,000
SF, six-floor building, implementing phased
renovations to minimize disruption. The
3,900 SF first-floor reading room was
updated with custom-designed study
carrells, overstuffed armchairs, task
lighting, and study niches to create a
variety of attractive and comfortable
spaces for either group or individual study.
Subsequent renovation work created the
specialized Morse Music & Media Room
and transformed the original 2,600 SF
reference room into the Lamont Café,
a casual 24-hour learning commons
overlooking Harvard Yard.

John F. Kennedy Presidential Library Study
The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library
is among the busiest of presidential
libraries, annually welcoming 200,000
researchers and visitors. Transformational
technological advances made over the
building’s 30-year existence required
extensive infrastructure upgrades to
protect the collections and support the
needs of a 21st century research facility.
The original I.M. Pei structure also required
additional conference, classroom, and
administrative spaces to support the
library’s educational and research mission.
Our project addressed site and envelope,
accessibility, interior finishes, MEP/FP
systems, archival storage, information
technology, and building security. To
enhance the museum experience and
address critical issues of collection storage,
access, and management, we designed a
respectful addition that deftly cants at a
45-degree angle to the original, leaving the
massing and geometries of Pei’s building
to stand on their own, largely undisturbed.
The addition’s exterior is the same white
concrete pre-cast panels, and a horizontal
band of windows matches the shaded
glass of the original pavilion overlooking
the harbor. In addition to improving
interior functions, repairing the façade,
and modernizing engineering systems, the
design provides archival storage compliant
with NARA’s stringent requirements
for humidity, temperature, and gas
infiltration. The Library remained open
throughout design and construction.

Center for Genomics & Systems Biology Renovation
The Center for Genomics and Systems
Biology is an interdisciplinary research
center that rises behind the historic
façades of three 100-year-old buildings in
a dense urban neighborhood. To maximize
space on the tightly constrained campus,
the facility is innovatively planned as a
10-story, vertical scientific community
that promotes collaboration by fostering
circulation and interaction between floors.
Behind the preserved façades, demolition
of the existing structures and new
construction proceeded in phases. The
building expanded from six floors and
a cellar, to eight floors, a cellar and
subcellar, mechanical penthouse, and
rooftop greenhouse. Flexible, openplan laboratories efficiently co-locate
more than one hundred genomics and
bioinformatics scientists. The facility
also contains a greenhouse and special
environmentally controlled rooms for plant
growth and other biological functions.
Shared core facilities accommodate
sensitive equipment and instrumentation.
Flexible informal spaces foster intellectual
community; an 86-seat auditorium enables
the Center to host faculty and global
partners for conferences and symposia.

Energy Analysis
Originally built in 1931 as a U-shaped floor plan, a center wing was added in 1939.
Analysis demonstrated that removing the 1939 wing could allow the addition of a
new, larger infill to house highly flexible, technically-robust research spaces, with the
building’s original 1931 footprint supporting less intense functions. Our design organizes
the plan “research clusters” – suite spaces conducive to the increasingly interdisciplinary,
collaborative research environment. The modernization design updates building systems,
enhances accessibility and life safety, and provides the infrastructure required for current
and future materials science research.
This adaptive use project is designed to realize annual building energy cost savings of 42%
relative to the ASHRAE 90.1-2007 baseline. Using a uniquely inclusive scenario-building
process, the design team and PSU staff worked with The Weidt Group to analyze first
costs, energy performance, and operational savings simultaneously and in real time,
ultimately helping the University reinvent a campus icon while saving over $500,000 in
construction costs.

A critical data center was doubled in size
and operated without interruption during
construction. Advanced communication,
computer, and security requirements
were carefully integrated into the design.
Functional spaces are unique to the plant’s
research and development infrastructure.
Raised floor systems throughout the
facility maximize flexibility and ease of
access.
Energy modeling informed a design that
uses 25% less energy than a comparable
ASHRAE 90.1-2004 baseline building. A
new building envelope, referencing the
cutting-edge R&D that takes place within
Building 53, contributes to a high-tech
aesthetic that celebrates the GE brand.
A cantilevered sunshade “blade” off
the main entry references wind turbine
technology. Removing two bays of the
building opened space for a dramatic
atrium with a visible 24/7 worldwide wind
