LAMAR WAKEFIELD, AIA


Principal-In-Charge | Wakefield Beasley & Associates

Like many students, Lamar


Wakefield worked part
time during college to earn
money and gain professional
experience. But while most
architecture students spent
their time in drafting rooms,
Lamar also worked for general
contractors, giving him firsthand
experience in the field, and
exposure to the full range of
professional disciplines involved
in the design and construction
process. On a fishing trip with
friend and colleague John
Beasley, the two decided to
form a professional partnership,
and Wakefield Beasley &
Associates was born. Under
Lamar and Johns leadership the
firm has expanded dynamically,
evolving along with trends in the
architecture, construction, and
real estate industries. Over the
years the firm has completed
over 3,000 institutional, office,
retail, industrial, and mixed-use
projects for private and public
sector clients throughout the
U.S. and around the world, from
Trinidad and Tobago to Dubai.

As Chief Executive Officer


of Wakefield Beasley &
Associates, Lamar has shared
responsibilities with John
Beasley for leadership of the
firm. Lamars primary emphasis
is on building relationships that
ultimately lead to executing
projects. This approach is the
basis for the firms success,
capitalizing on successful
experience with smaller
industrial projects, offices,
and local grocery stores, then
progressing to more complex
work such as high-end retail
centers and mixed-use projects
with entertainment, hospitality,
and residential components.
From the beginning, Lamar
has maintained the firms
commitment to providing userfriendly and environmentally
sustainable planning and design
solutions. His background in
construction and estimating
keeps him conscious of the
schedule and budget concerns
of clients and contractors, a
basis for mutual respect rather
than adversarial relationships.

ELIZABETH SESSIONS
President | Director of Interior Design

Elizabeth Sessions has a


passion for the planning
process, figuring out the best
way to make every block of
space work for the client. As
she puts it, The puzzle of
space planning is the most
fun to me. Elizabeths
career has included planning,
programming, and design
work for a wide range of large
and small projects, including
environments for institutional,
healthcare, and retail clients, as
well as office space for legal,
financial, and other professional
services. Her background also
includes the design of modular
furniture and equipment, giving
her a strong understanding
of not only physical space
requirements, but also how
systems such as power, data,
and telecommunications must
all be integrated in a functional
environment.
In addition to her planning and
design abilities, Elizabeth is also
highly experienced in project
management at an executive
level. As President of WB

Interiors, she has a proven track


record for successfully managing
project teams for complex
office planning, renovation, and
consolidation work. Acting as
a primary point of contact for
the client, Elizabeths outgoing
personality is an asset that
complements her professional
expertise.
While she uses templates
developed from previous
experience as a guide in the
planning process, Elizabeth
always tailors her approach to
a clients specific needs. She
typically uses programming
questionnaires as the best
source of information about a
clients facility needs, followed
by interviews with key personnel
to clarify any issues and confirm
the initial data. The results of
this investigation then serve as a
feedback tool to guide decisions
made in later stages of the
planning process.

dshaw@wbassociates.com

Doug Shaw, Project Manager, will lead the design team


for the duration of the project. Over the past twenty
years, Doug has worked exclusively with public sector
clients, including state departments, local counties
and municipalities. From this experience, Doug has
learned that the most important skill a project manager
needs to have is the ability to listen. As Doug explains,
what all public sector clients have in common is that
they all require a unique solution that addresses their
specific needs; they all have very challenging budgets;
and because they are typically funded by taxpayer
funds, they all have zero margin for error you have to
get it right the first time.
Prior to joining Wakefield Beasley as the Director of
the Municipal Studio, Doug Shaw spent ten years as
the Director of Architecture for Rosser International
overseeing all of the firms design studios. As a
result, Doug is highly experienced in managing
multidisciplinary design teams, as well as coordinating
with client stakeholders, regulatory agencies and
outside consultants. He is known for his hands-on
management approach and his responsive nature. In
addition to his technical proficiency, he brings a truly
collaborative spirit to the design process, ensuring
a strong partnership is formed between himself, the
stakeholders, the user groups and the design team.

The new Augusta-Richmond
Courthouse, completed in the
summer of 2011, has already
become a City landmark. The
building is transitional by many
definitions. Architecturally, it
reflects a traditional Georgian
approach as well has 21st
Century elements of openness,
technology, and daylight. The
site, located in developing
neighborhood several blocks
from the Broad Street shopping
district requires that the building
create a Civic sense of place
in an area characterized by
distressed buildings and
vacant lots, helping to link
the downtown to a neglected
neighborhood. Its close
proximity to the Post Office,
Federal Courthouse and Federal
Bankruptcy Courthouse help

reposition the area as an


emerging civic center district.
Functionally, the building allows
the Courts to implement long
desired operational goals, with
best practices in operations
including consolidation of court
divisions, integration of shared
support, open and welcoming
public access, and modern
security elements.
The new courthouse announces
its presence with a tall tower
element, utilizing a setback and
use of traditional materials and
motifs to create a welcoming
and serene presence on the site,
particularly on arrival from James
Brown Boulevard, the primary
connector from downtown. On
entering the building, visitors

experience a lofty atrium that


diminishes the presence of
security screening stations,
and instead draws the eye to
the monumental public stair
and the balconies of the upper
floors. The user experience
is enhanced throughout the
interior, with visual cues for
orientation and identification of
paths to public counters and
courtrooms. With the support
of the project stakeholders, the
new courthouse successfully
balances a traditional sensibility
with modern convenience
and comfort, revitalizes an
underdeveloped neighborhood,
and communicates quality
in spite of a very challenging
budget.

Successes: Viewed from
any direction, it is clear that
this building has an important
civic purpose. The public stair
is expressed externally as a
tower element which provides a
beacon, especially at night.
The low-rise circular office
component accommodates the
court support agencies in an
element with its own identity,
providing efficient net to gross
office space. The taller court
component is shaped by an
efficient court floorplan, and
brings natural light into many
of the courtrooms. Collegial
chambers and courtroom
sharing were utilized to allow
significant space savings
and the ability to provide
purpose-built courtrooms. The
courthouse occupies a former
industrial site, and is bisected by
a canal. The existing conditions
were addressed with a very
context sensitive landscape plan
focused on a future waterfront
park. While the building address
is on James Brown Boulevard,
its formal frontage on Walton
Way allows it a strong identity on
the more major thoroughfare as
well. The use and distribution of
quality materialsworking under
a very tight budgetprovides a
sense of quality and permanence
to the areas where people come
in close contact, particularly
in the main entry lobby, public
areas, and courtrooms.
Challenges encountered and
Overcome: While there was
general consensus on the need
for a new courthouse, there was
considerable public discussion
and debate on fundamental

questions, primarily the urban


role that the new building would
play in the city. During the
years of planning and design,
shifting political and economic
conditions required a process
that navigated through such
major issues as site, occupancy
and cost.
1. Site Selection -- Several
sites were identified and
studied, and while a vacant
site along the riverfront
in the heart of downtown
was initially identified as an
optimal location for the new
courthouse, a priority on
the value of the courthouse
as an economic generator
emerged as the over-arching
political objective and a less
prominent urban development
site on the edge of downtown
was ultimately chosen by the
City, requiring that the new
building essentially create
its own context. On this
count, the building exceeds
expectations according to
stakeholders on both sides of
the discussion.
2. Designing to Budget
-- The initial size of the
project was needs-based,
and a corresponding
budget of $80 million was
established, supported by
the Citys courthouse steering
committee. However, political
conditions required that this
budget be reduced by $20
million in order to gain enough
support on the City Council.
Such a dramatic reduction
challenged the entire project

team to re-think the scope


and delivery method, yet still
achieve the objectives of
court consolidation, providing
adequate courtrooms, and
quality building.
3. Consensus Building This
is a common challenge, but
in Augusta the relationship
between elected officials was
often contentious and the
project goals were subject
to passionate debate. The
Architect was able to facilitate
a process of finding common
ground, and work with the
judiciary and the project team
to utilize best practices to
satisfy all stakeholders

Design
Plan

E.1 Approach
role, accountability & overall approach.
As Architect of Record, Wakefield Beasley &
Associates views our role as being ultimately
responsible for the projects success. We will
lead the design and production effort of our entire
team while striving to meet the goals of the user
group.
The WBA team approach is based on the belief
that successful architecture must grow out of the
dialogue between the design team and the client.
We have come to realize over the years that
the most successful and productive interaction
between the client and the architect depends
upon the design teams ability to clearly present
the design in a way that the client can have a
thorough understanding.
Our team uses a mix of communication mediums
throughout the process including drawings,
models, reports, renderings and diagrams to
allow the entire team of project stakeholders
understand the key design issues. This proven,
user-focused approach invariably results in a
design that is both functional and inspired.

process / communications.
In our work process, the planning and design
activities must be open to creative solutions,
yet managed within the set of parameters of
project scope, schedule, cost management and
budget definition. Implementation of effective
management controls will be a critical factor in
the success of this project. In order to control and

direct the multi-faceted efforts of the team, we will


partner with GSFIC implement structured control
procedures to carefully monitor the project.
We will use BIM and EBuilder to help with
communication and organization of information.

scope, schedule and budget.


The implementation process supporting our work
process has four key goals:
Establish a framework of communication and
trust through a committed partnering attitude
Provide clear leadership from a single source
of responsibility
Encourage the highest level of quality and
design excellence through support from all
team members
Implement a highly efficient process with
proven procedures
The following are some of the methods that
support our proposed process.
Information Sessions
Multiple review sessions would be scheduled
with the Georgia Building Authority and GSFIC
and any pertinent specialty consultants to
address scope and direction as appropriate
through the process workshops
Workshops are a critical working tool in our
process.
The workshops would be used to gain a fluent
and collaborative discussion basis for advancing
the project. The workshops are typically meant
to have multiple topics (ie: building systems, I.T.
Wakefield Beasley & Associates | CGL
State of Georgia Judicial Complex

44

infrastructure, security systems) and last 2-3


hours in duration.
Presentations/Reviews
Major presentations and reviews would be
scheduled to present progress, typically
located at the end of each contract phase.
Less formal presentations are also held to
review ongoing progress in the work between
major milestone presentations.

Solving Complex Issues.


WBA will solve complex issues using the
following:
Gather necessary information / data
Use all Experts available
Involve Stakeholders/Owners
Incorporate Codes/Regulation/Contract
Requirements
Confirm Budget/Schedule Impacts
Once these methods have been applied, we will
provide multiple options for consideration. The
decision is then documented and distributed to
the team.

E.2 Challenges & Risks


The development of a new Supreme Court
building is a civic moment of profound significance.
Buildings of this stature are built perhaps once in a
century, and express the values of the people who
constructed it.
The challenges of achieving a successful outcome
begin with selection of an appropriate site befitting
such an important civic institution, the home of
the third branch of government. The site selected
meets this test, with a prominent site proximate to
the Capitol Hill district, separate but a part of the
State Government district, with significant visibility

from the many thousands travelling on the network


of freeways below. The site sits across the freeway
boundary between downtown Atlanta and the
residential neighborhoods to the east, a division
that is marked by a rotation of the street grid and
reinforced by a maze of roadways and concrete
parking lots.
The first great challenge is to strengthen the
connection to downtown and to Capitol Hill.
Measures should be taken to green and soften the
pedestrian experience between the two sides of
the freeway, and to develop a strategy to orient
the new building so as to link it to the ensemble
of government buildings centered on the Capitol.
Developing a landscape overlay to the street
pattern that links the Supreme Court building site
to Capitol Hill will extend the district to the east and
encompass the new building, separating it from
the adjacent residential district.
A second challenge is to develop a building
imagery that is appropriate not only to
the importance of the Supreme Court and
the Court of Appeals, but which sends an
appropriate message to those who come there
seeking justice. The design should express both
the Authority of the Court as well as a sense of
concern for the wellbeing of the citizens to whom
it is accountable, dignifying both. Traditional
architectural expression has a rich vocabulary of
elements that can communicate these humanist
values, that paired with the convenience and
comfort of modern technologies will combine to
leverage the lessons of the past to the benefit of
all.
A third challenge, that of delivering the
appropriate civic grandeur in a way that
represents value for the taxpayer dollar has
many dimensions: on budget delivery, sound
construction, and economical operational
cost. The project must be constructed within the
Wakefield Beasley & Associates | CGL
State of Georgia Judicial Complex

budget published at the outset, without rancorous


disputes and delays, and be economical to
maintain and operate.
As part of our solution, we propose to use a pattern
of trees, walkways and building orientation to link
the new Supreme Court to the Capitol Hill District.
We want the connection of the site to the Capitol
Building to be very strong.
The perception of the courthouse as housing an
institution of stature elevated above the prosaic
government offices that border the Capitol building
begins with its profile, utilizing special elements
such as pediments, domes, crowns, and/
or statuary to mark its place on the skyline in a
distinctive manner. This perception of importance
in enhanced across the experience of approach
from curbside to courtroom, with a deliberately
organized sequence of spaces that speak of the
importance of the destination. The exterior plaza,
the grand staircase, the portico, the great entry hall,
the anteroom, and then the courtroom vestibule
each combine to heighten the expectations of the
visitor or litigant for the high drama of entry to the
courtroom.
Select examples of our teams project experience
with courtroom design are included on this page
as well as the following page. These are included
as an illustration of this orchestration of experience,
with the goal of communicating the prestige of the
court while ennobling the citizens who approach
the bench. In thanking us for the success of our
redesign of the courtrooms in the US Courthouse
at the Richard Russell Building in Atlanta, Judge
Beverly Martin noted that the elegant and beautiful
environment of the courtrooms seemed to induce
a higher degree of decorum and respect amongst
the litigants, who seemed both awed and pleased
by the newly august setting.

The final challenge, that of successful delivery,


is less photogenic, but of vital importance to
the success of the enterprise. We minimize
the risk of cost overruns and construction claims
through a series of key measures:
First, the initial Concept Stage will develop the
full spectrum of project costs as well as align
the desired performance with the available
resources. If hard decisions need to be made
about scope or funding, this is the time for such
discussions, not after designs are approved or
during constructions.
Second, developing a process that keeps all
of the stakeholders informed about progress
while incorporating their input into solutions
that are accountable and affordable. We begin
with a Visioning Workshop to define the desired
outcome, and keep that Vision in mind throughout
the design and construction process.
Third, our building designs will be based on
tested technologies, tried and true through
many successful projects, developed and
documented by seasoned professionals. We
seek close relationships with the Construction
Managers
and
the
Facility
Managers,
incorporating best practices in constructability and
maintainability. Our buildings are high performance,
environmentally sound, and full of daylight and
fresh air, enhancing the daily experience of all who
use them.
The concepts, results, and processes described
above are technically state of the art, but are most
reliant on the professional dedication and passion
of our experienced staff. Our commitment to
public work, and to courthouse design in particular,
separates us from other design professionals,
and allows you to have great confidence that we
together will achieve the great and historic outcome
that this project demands.

E.3 Timeline
A detailed schedule has been provided on the
following page. [ Attachment E.3 ] This schedule
contains alternatives that may be explored to
shorten the schedule.
We have developed a weekly in-house updating
requirement to maintain a proactive hands-on
management posture for our projects. The output
reports of the project management system provide
a vital communication linkage to transmit specific
project information to all team participants. These
reports are concise and easy to understand and
allows the team to measure current progress
with desired outcomes. The project manager can
adjust and reassign tasks and resources so that
the design schedule is maintained.

E.4 Construction Administration


We will follow all of the procedures required and
outlined by the Design Professional Agreement.
With that stated, WBA has proposed providing
experienced personnel to provide construction
administration services. Our internal Construction
Administration procedures have been refined over
our 30 years of practice and we believe there is
no substitute for bringing a mindset of solving
issues to the construction site. So, as it relates
to your project, our construction administration
services will be led by a registered architect and
not relegated to an intern. We will manage all
RFIs, submittals and other correspondence using
PDFs or other easily transferable platform. We will
coordinate with all team members and cooperate
to solve the issues that arise. Our goal is to make
this phase as simple as possible for the user
group and as comprehensive as is required by our
agreement and the state guidelines.

E.5 Energy Efficient Design


Energy Efficient Design.
We will comply with the state requirements and the
peach program goals. Specifically we will study
the use of the natural light throughout the new
building to utilize less electricity. We will study the
solar orientation of the new building to minimize
solar heat gain. We will also study multiple systems
and propose simple control systems to make them
more efficient. We will look at roof and building
insulation options and make recommendations
regarding feasibility and life cycle costs. Overall,
we understand that this design and construction
effort needs to result in a 100 year structure and
the energy costs need to be minimized as much
as possible.

components.

Additional Services.
WBA will be using BIM (Revit) production tools for
the project. The BIM model can provide enhanced
design studies, energy system analysis, and cost
analysis. The model could also be enhanced to
provide future facilities management information for
maintenance schedules and capital improvement
planning. We intend to use this model as part of
our final deliverable.
