The new home for Assurity Life Insurance Company is nearing completion (December 2011 move-in) and is on target to meet Leed Gold Certification. It is also one of approximately 150 projects internationally chosen to be in the pilot program for The Sustainable Sites Initiative (SITES) that will contribute to the development of an environmental rating for landscape and site design. This 175,000 SF building and 600 car parking deck will act as the catalyst for development of the Antelope Valley area, recently reclaimed from a 100 year food plain. Sustainable features include green roofs, ice storage, day lighting with light shelves, pervious pavement, and the use of an abandoned storm sewer as an irrigation cistern. The Assurity workplace philosophy has moved away from the use of enclosed offices, and there are none in this building. 
The new facility for the Lancaster County Adult Detention Facility is nearing completion and is schedule to be substantially finished by February 2012. The facility is approximately 256,000 SF on three levels. The number of inmates the facility can house is 766 with the core services designed for an additional 234 beds added in the future. The building is designed as a small community with in-house medical, laundry and food service facilities. The construction of the facility is structural precast concrete wall panels, columns, beams and floor planks along with the utilization of precast concrete cell modules. The hot and cold water heat pumps are supplemented with a ground source loop system with over 700 wells serving the load of the building. Other energy saving systems were incorporated into the facility including daylighting, energy management control systems to regulate the building’s mechanical system, energy efficient lighting control systems to reduce energy consumption by managing when lights are needed in the housing areas as well as circulation areas of the building.

In 1917 the Country Club of Lincoln purchased land from Mark Woods of Woods Brothers to move the Club to a new location south of 24th and Woodsdale to allow for the growth of membership and to build a new golf course. This house on the corner of 24th and Woodsdale was one of the first built in the new development with land purchased in 1921.
Todd and Connie Duncan and their two sons have lived in the house since 1998. When an adjacent property became available, it was acquired which allowed for expansion of the existing home. Working closely with the client the design concept was integration of modern living spaces within the home’s traditional masonry envelope.
Tour guides will be representatives of The Clark Enersen Partners and Bahr Vermeer Haecker Architects. Limited to 25 persons max. A minimum donation of $50 to the AIA Nebraska Political Action Committee will grant access to tour.

Keynote Presentation: Designs on the Future | 1 LU
The future depends upon design – and architects need to understand how important their role is in building that future. Some have said that the future requires us to be open to change, but futurist David Zach disagrees. It's not that simple. In order to build a good future we must know how to hold on to the best of the past and make sure we learn from the lessons of history.
It should be clear that not all change is progress and not all tradition is outdated. Survival and progress depend on our ability to choose between change and tradition. Again, architects are some of the best prepared to make those choices clear for others. It’s time that they regained leadership positions for shaping the choices we must make.
This presentation is a fascinating (and rather irreverent) look at the trends and traditions affecting design and the roles that architects, designers and planners can have over the next ten years.
David Zach, Futurist
David Zach is one of the few professionally trained futurists on this planet, having earned a master’s degree in Studies of the Future from the University of Houston-Clear Lake. Of course, this was way back in the 1980s, so it's pretty much history by now. Since then, Dave has worked with over 1400 associations, corporations and colleges offering insights on the personal and professional impact of strategic trends. In other words, he gives funny and thought-provoking keynote speeches on the future of technology, economics, business, education, demographics and society.
He reads a lot – and he reads a lot more about the past than he does about the future. He knows that change is vital but it's also overrated and in this time of tumultuous change, it's far more important that we find the things that don't change and shouldn't change. Tradition and change are really choices, and we are only prepared to choose wisely when we look far and wide for causes, implications and lasting value.
Dave has only had two real jobs; one with Northwestern Mutual and the other with Johnson Controls in the roles of environmental scanning and strategic planning. Along the way, he taught Future Studies in the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Since 1987, he mostly sits and read everything he can and then designs fascinating presentations that leave people either engaged in vivid conversations or quietly reflecting on what it all means. He gives talks about 50 times a year and really wishes he would write more. He is the author of two books, so far.
Dave is on the board of the American Institute of Architects and on the board of the American Chesterton Society. Past activities include: Wisconsin Small Business Development Center Advisory Council, AIA-WI Board, Future Milwaukee Advisory Board, Community Advisory Board for NPR station WUWM, board member of eInnovate, member of the downtown Rotary Club of Milwaukee, and chairman of the Goals for Greater Milwaukee 2000 Education Committee.

The Building of the Kauffman Performing Center for the Performing Arts | 1.5 HSW|SD
The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts will soon be counted among the finest performing arts venues in the world because of its superior acoustics, complex geometry and momentous spaces of exquisite design, detailing and construction. Designed by Moshe Safdie and Associates, in collaboration with renowned acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota, and BNIM as joint architect of record, this facility was designed to produce near perfect acoustics, promising an exceptional experience for performers and audiences alike. Upon completion in September this year, the new center will provide two world-class performance halls for the resident organizations of the Kansas City Ballet, the Lyric Opera and the Kansas City Symphony and will contain a 1,800-seat proscenium theater and a 1,600-seat concert hall. The Lead Project Architect will provide insight on the complex detailing, project management and coordination required between multiple design consultants and contractor team over the 10-year design and construction of this world class facility.

Fads, Trends & Principles | 1.5 LU
Play with Fads, Work with Trends, Live by Principles. That's what we should do, but unfortunately mostly we are seduced by Fads, Ignorant of Trends and in Denial of Principles. In an age of information, which is really an age of communication, which is really an age of attention – meaning that what you pay attention to becomes what you are. In this interactive breakout session you'll learn the strategic and tactical differences between Fads, Trends and Principles and how to protect and direct that most valuable of resources – your attention.
Presenter: David Zach, Futurist
Architecture for Good | 1.5 HSW
In recent years there has been a renewed interest in design that serves under-resourced communities and non-profits, but unlike the “community design” movements of the 1960s and 1970s that often marginalized architects’ creative potential, leaders of the new movement meet at the intersection of design and service. This new breed of socially-engaged designers is made up of academics, independent design activists and regular architecture firms large and small that have made a commitment to better their communities through design. This program will introduce new ideas motivating public interest design and discuss the strategies that firms employ to engage public service as part of design practice. Examples from the presenter’s own practice and those of other firms will be highlighted along with information about the pro bono movement, the 1% program. www.theonepercent.org
Presenter: Jeffrey L. Day, AIA, Min | Day, Associate Professor, Architecture & Landscape Architecture, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The Meadowgold Creamery has been an anchor to the south Haymarket area since 1906. At that time they processed more cream than any other company in the nation. The complex that includes 13 buildings and more than 146,000 sqft produced milk, ice-cream, sour cream, and cottage cheese up until 2010 when production was moved to a modern plant in Iowa. The property was put up for sale and the Telesis Company (Lazlos, Fireworks, Empyrean Ales and Data Security) was the successful bidder. Their Data Security company will move in 2012 and the brewery in 2015. Join us for a tour of this historic Lincoln block before the renovation process begins.
Leading the tour will be Kevin Clark, AIA of Clark Architectural Collaborative.
