THE CAMPUS

The Food and Drug Administration consists of approximately seven thousand employees spread
throughout forty buildings in eighteen
separate locations around the Washington, DC metropolitan area. A new
state-of-the-art campus currently underway in White Oak, Maryland, will
consolidate most of the organizations
employees into one location and will
better serve the agencys needs from
an efficiency, space utilization, workflow and knowledge-sharing basis.

LEGEND

The current plan calls for a 4.7 million sq-ft campus that will comprise
twenty structures to be constructed in
phases over eleven years. Included
in the plan are lab spaces, offices, a
credit union, conference areas, training spaces and cafeterias.

OC/ORA

When completed, the Office of the

Commissioner/Office of Regulatory
Affairs (OC/ORA) complex will be
an essential component of the FDA
campus, housing 1258 employees in
an 82-foot-wide footprint, along with
training spaces, a credit union and a
cafeteria. The wings of the complex
are connected through two atriums
that enclose the full height of the
building between a pair of bowed
curtain walls. Each curtain wall is
equipped with horizontal sun fins that
appropriately limit or accentuate the
amount of light entering the spaces.

Advanced Massing Studies

Initial Massing Studies

Revit Building was instrumental in
the architecture of the two earlier office complexes on the FDA campus.
OC/ORA is the first structure on
the campus whose design involved
a collaboration between architects
and engineers on a BIM platform.
In addition, the software has been
configured to generate dynamic area
analyses, detailed solar studies and
renderings of the building during development to better relate the design
intent to the client.

Option # 1 is studied further

Option # 1A

MASSING

Revit offered the ability to quickly

generate and calculate both massing and floor area totals for numerous options simultaneously for the
study of massing elements. This
procedure allowed the design team
to make the most informed, efficient
decisions about which design option
would yield the best configuration.

SOLAR STUDIES

Using the tools within Revit, the design team performed solar studies on
a variety of shading devices. These
studies enabled the design team to
best select the optimum configuration to maximize energy efficiency
and limit solar glare. In this case, sun
shades were selected for the windows with the most exposure, which
limited cost to the owner as well.

MULTI-DISCIPLINE

The project is a strong example of the

collaboration that can be achieved
with Revit Building, Revit Structure
and Revit Systems. The project team
worked together to create a single,
unified model that would more accurately represent the building in its
completed state. From edge-of-slab
dimensions and duct locations to
column sizes and curtain walls, the
models that were developed were a
result of a dialogue between team
members that instigated resolution
in the initial stages of development,
rather than late in the construction
documents phase.

The collaboration that was achieved

through the use of Revit Building,
Structure and Systems allowed designers to focus on the problematic
areas of the building together as a
team, rather than individually.

STRUCTURE

Revit Structure provided yet another

dimension to the evolving benefits of
BIM modeling. With the advantage
of Copy/Monitor and interference
checking, the engineers were able to
coordinate column sizes, beam sizes
and locations, slab openings, duct
runs and shear walls with the architects with minimal disruptions.

Currently under construction, the

Center for Devices and Radiologi- 5
1
cal Health (CDRH) will house 1277
employees and support spaces in a
six-story, 62-foot-wide footprint. One
6
dominant design strategy incorpo-3
rates a saw-tooth skylight over the
interior 2 atrium in order to enhance
the lighting of the interior space. Out- 7
side, a network of paths and courtyards unites the building with the
other structures on the campus.
Following CDER 2 and the North Ga-4
rage, the CDRH Office Building became the third complex on the FDA
campus to achieve a complete set
of bidding documents utilizing Revit
4
Building.
The design team incorporated the lessons learned from previous projects to increase efficiency,5
precision and productivity.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

When developing construction documents, the BIM model becomes

highly advantageous by providing the
6
contractor another method
of visualizing the finished product. Since each
section, elevation, reference, schedule and plan are simply views of the
same virtual model, every
element of
7
the details become seamlessly coordinated with its corresponding reference, increasing clarity in the field.

PARKING GARAGE

The North Parking Garage was the

second project to produce full bid
documents using Revit. With a variety of elevation changes, the 800car garage was well-suited to take
advantage of Revits full range of
three-dimensional capabilities. In
addition, capacity studies of the garage allowed the architects to design
with efficiency of space in mind.
The North Parking Garage is now in
use.

CDER 2

The Center for Drug Evaluation and

Research Office Building 2 (CDER
2) also implements a narrow, 62-foot
floor plate, along with under-floor air
distribution, to provide an effective
floor-to-floor height and superior flexibility. This six-story structure houses
1118 employees and support spaces. The interior atrium incorporates
the main entry to the campus as
well as break-out spaces for meeting
rooms.
The completion of the CDER 2 Office Building construction documents
marked the beginning of the design
teams efforts using Revit. Due to its
complexity and size, the project presented the team with numerous challenges; however these challenges
also provided opportunities and immediate benefits that were realized
throughout the design process and
during coordination.

VISUALIZE

Revit was also instrumental in allowing the design team to create realtime architectural building renderings for use in studies, presentations
to the client, in-house coordination
and marketing. Within minutes, the
team was able to generate renderings in-house by simply modifying
the graphical representation of the
building data.
Walk-through images also became a
part of our presentations to the client.
Using the same model that had been
created for building documentation,
the design team was able to quickly
produce video files that illustrated
the design intent.

FEWER RFIS

Due to the precise dimensioning and

coordination inherent to BIM, the
General Contractor has issued fewer
Requests for Information than with
standard building documents. This
has resulted in more efficient and
expedited schedules and less construction waste.

SUMMARY

Autodesk Revit was instrumental in

the development of the campus for
the consolidated Food and Drug Administration due to its ease of use
and precise documentation. As a
result, the design team quickly adopted Revit as the primary software
for both design and documentation
for future projects.
