EP/YAF
Virtual Hard Hat Tour of
301 Hillsborough at Raleigh Crossing

May 12th | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm | 1 LU/HSW

Join EP/YAF for a virtual hard hat tour of 301 Hillsborough at Raleigh Crossing at lunchtime on May 12th as Duda|Paine Architects takes us on a tour of this 288,000 sf building under construction.

Located two blocks from the capitol at the convergence of four city districts, Raleigh Crossing, the new mixed-use development at 301 Hillsborough, will become the nexus of a diverse urban environment. A sleek, curved façade culminates in a towering 288,000 sf office building that brings a new dynamism to a primary urban corridor and the Raleigh skyline. 301 Hillsborough at Raleigh Crossing’s estimated completion date is Fall 2021. Duda|Paine Architects’ Jay Smith, AIA, LEED AP, and Shannon Robinson will present the early design concepts and lead us on this virtual architectural tour of the building under construction.

Learning Objectives

• Participants will explore curved building façade forms using iterative design processes during preliminary building design while meeting owner desired BOMA targets to maximize rentable square footage.
• Participants will observe the challenges of construction during a global pandemic using anecdotal stories from the team to discuss how the process of construction administration has been adapted.
• Participants will examine best practice waterproofing methods and systems integration using industry guidelines to help define the waterproofing requirements of various building component systems.
• Participants will integrate an exterior operable wall system using this project as a case studies to explore the challenges of not only coordinating steel, hardware, and curtainwall with a Nanawall system but also providing the code required egress of the space with this system.

Presented by:

Jay Smith, AIA, LEED AP, is a design director at Duda|Paine Architects. His approach to design inspires and integrates the ideas of team members from all disciplines and levels of experience. Jay’s leadership across all phases of complex, large-scale projects is enhanced by his strength as a conceptual and analytical thinker. He recognizes the reciprocal relationship between ideas and making: the process of making can inform an idea, just as an idea can inform the process of making. Together, the two allow for new ideas and unexpected results to emerge.    

Shannon Robinson is an Associate at Duda|Paine Architects.  Her engineering and construction background has allowed her to approach design problems analytically and holistically. Shannon’s broad base of experience ensures careful consideration of all aspects of a project’s detailing across the design and construction processes.  She values sustainable and equitable practices in the built environment and strives to push projects, clients and the firm to continue to grow and think critically about these efforts.
