UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE EXPERIENCE

Cardiovascular Innovation Institute, 2004, Arrasmith Judd Rapp Chovan, Architects, Mr. Arne Judd

Cardiovascular Innovation Institute is an advanced research Laboratory Specializing in the Field of Cardiovascular diseases and surgery. This building under design is seven stories tall including he basement and located 
in a very tight site surrounded on three sides by existing buildings. The building will be constructed of reinforced concrete pan joists framing into reinforced concrete band beams. The foundation system consists of 
augercast piles. Due to the proximity to existing buildings several columns have to be located off center to the pile caps and require tie-beams back to the nearby columns. The estimated construction cost of this 
building is $21,000,000.00.

Belknap Research Building, 2004, Omni Architects, Michael Jacobs

This building at a budget of $45,000,000.00 was an ultra modern research facility comprising of nano-scale research laboratories as well as associated offices to be located within the Belknap Campus of the University 
of Louisville. The vibration criterion was established for the top two floors as VC-A (Root-Mean-Square amplitude 2000 Micro-inch/sec) and for the nano-scale at VC-D (Root-Mean Square amplitude 250 micro-
inch/sec). To satisfy these criteria, a conventional one-way concrete joist floors with band beams were used and vibration criteria checked using the advanced technology council manual ATC Design Guide 1. To 
minimize the ambient vibration effects. The first floor (Nano-Research Facility) was made stiff, using structural solid slab of 18” thick, to interact with the caissons and grade beams, our firm provided the necessary 
structural engineering services for this high-technology research laboratory.
