| The University of Virginia dedicates Rice Hall, its new information technology engineering building, and the new Physical & Life Sciences building. |

 Rice Hall is a six-story steel-framed information technology engineering building. It is located at the south end of UVa's School of Engineering and Applied Science.  The A/E team used Building Information Modeling (BIM) throughout the project design phase. (Screenshot from Autodesk Revit Structure)  Cantilevered steel beams form the roof cornice, extending as much as twelve feet beyond the penthouse floor slab.  A two story truss accommodates the 150-seat first-floor auditorium that extends beneath the building's south exterior wall.  Structural steel design of the 100,000 SF building employed three-dimensional modeling.

 This cast-in-place concrete building is designed to house vibration-sensitive research laboratories and faculty support spaces. (Rendering by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson)  Reinforced concrete shear walls provide lateral stability in the plan orthogonal directions.  The new research building is sited adjacent to the UVa Chemistry Building, and its basement elevation is a story below the Chemistry Building's lowest floor. (Rendering by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson)  The new 100,000 SF building is framed with two-way cast-in-place reinforced concrete flat slabs. Maximum span length exceeds 30 feet.  Engineering construction administration included site observations of reinforcing steel by our structural engineers.  Irregular shaped floor slab openings and pockets in a concrete bearing wall await structural steel framed landings for the focal point monumental stairway.

 This new 65,000 SF four-story steel-framed building is located at the heart of the historic University of Virginia Grounds. Designed by Robert A.M. Stern Architects, Bavaro Hall is the new focal point for the Curry School of Education.  Steel-framed open-air colonnades on the south and north ends of a new courtyard link the existing School of Education's Ruffner Hall and the new $26.6 million Bavaro Hall.  The courtyard creates a scenic gathering place for students and faculty.  The structural steel framing system is stabilized by both braced frames and moment frames. A combination of structural steel and light gage steel trusses frame the gable roof.  Semi-circular brick openings in the 212-foot long building exterior walls are supported by cast-in-place concrete back up wall panels.
