Snell Engineering’s Cord Van Nostrand served as Engineer of Record (EOR) on the new Mote Marine Tropical Research Lab on Summerland Key. Van Nostrand was engaged and served as EOR at his previous firm. The project is unique in its modular design that was built stateside and transported via boat to the islands for assembly. The 18,000 square foot facility is a 3-story structural precast building with parking below. With sturdy and efficient design, it is both USGBC and LEED Gold certified and able to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. To support Mote Marine’s ongoing research efforts in coral reef restoration, the new Keys facility houses 2 wet science laboratories, 4 dry science laboratories, classrooms, office spaces, and a residential area for scientists, students and executives. The design is complete with a solar array on the rooftop and a generator for additional backup during power outages. Water is harvested at the rooftop and collected for use in a cistern at ground level. Complete in 2017, the new facility looks forward to new research and educational endeavors. “A project this complex has a lot of moving parts. The collaboration between the Engineer of Record, Architect and specialty engineer was an important part of the success of the project.” — Cord Van Nostrand, P.E., S.I., Director of Engineering In Completed Project Tags Structural Engineering, Florida Structural Engineering, Precast, REVIT Share SNELL SELECTED FOR VILLAGE ON THE ISLE April 20, 2017 Snell Engineering Consultants was selected as EOR on RLPS project in South Florida Snell has been named Engineer of Record for the new Village on the Isle master plan in Venice, FL. A $100 million dollar master plan was approved last year and has been progressing full speed ahead since. Initial portions of the project include renovations to existing buildings servicing the CCRC's residents. The two new phases include approximately 120,000 new square feet of development on campus which include new Independent Living units which represent a hybrid home model, something architect RLPS has perfected over the last few years, and a new health center that will include a memory care and a skilled nursing component. Structurally, the buildings are important because of their functional usage. While the Independent Living units will be designed similarly to a multi-unit residential buildings, the health center and its skilled nursing push the building into a higher risk category requiring design for 170 mph winds. “We are happy to be working with RLPS and Village on the Isle on their new project. As we move toward completion of the first phase construction documents, I think we can all see this will really strengthen the mission of Village on the Isle. ” — Curtis Ross, P.E., Managing Principal of Snell In New Project Tags Structural Engineering, Structures, Florida Structural Engineering, BIM, REVIT, Steel, Hollow Core, Structure, Masonry Share SEC WELCOMES NEW STAFF March 25, 2017 Prominent firm continues expansion by welcoming two new Structural Engineering Staff Sarasota, Fla.
