9:00 – 10:00 am | AIA Nebraska: Exposition. Identification. Amalgamation. | 1 HSW
AIA Nebraska
335 North 8th Street, Suite A
Coffee and Donuts
After 25 years, AIA Nebraska wanted to move its office to a space that offered more access and visibility to its members and the public. Partnering with Lincoln Haymarket Development Corporation (LHDC), the two organizations agreed to combine and renovate LHDC’s office space with an adjacent vacant space in a 1920’s warehouse. The design challenge was three-fold: maximize the given footprint shared by the two entities; strengthen the brand and distinct identities of the two entities; and transform the historic space into a contemporary and modern environment that acknowledges its history through the use of raw and industrial materials. 1 HSW NETHU-01

Haymarket Historic District Walking Tour Only. Tour begins at AIA Nebraska Office, 335 North 8th Street. 1.0 HSW NETHU-03 Limited to 50 participants.
Haymarket Historic District was Lincoln’s most concentrated wholesale and warehouse district in the late 19th and early 20th century, as well as the city’s rail center. As wholesaling waned in the area in the mid-20th century, candy making became Haymarket’s predominant activity until the 1970s. Commencing in the early 1980s, a public/private partnership worked to revitalize Haymarket as a mixed use district based on adaptive reuse and historic preservation. In the early 21st century, the opening of the adjacent brownfield/rail yard for redevelopment has resulted in extensive construction, including Pinnacle Bank Arena. The presentation combines a PowerPoint and a walking tour to review completed work and discuss anticipated efforts.

4:00 – 5:00 pm | P Street + Tower Square | 1.0 HSW
The 2005 Lincoln Downtown Master Plan identified P Street as the primary retail street Downtown, with the update in 2015, the focus on the P Street corridor was renewed with vigor and a focus on Complete Streets. The Phase 1 improvements of the P Street Retail Corridor encompass the streetscape between 11th Street and Centennial Mall and focused on developing a lively and safe atmosphere for all users. This tour will review the redesign of the streetscape, parking and traffic configuration which are helping to build this retail corridor.
Tower Square (formerly the Lincoln Civic Plaza), was intended to become a new focal point for downtown Lincoln. High-lighted by the 57-foot tall, Jun Kaneko-designed glass tower, the plaza provides for a number of civic-inspired programmatic needs, thereby fulfilling its role as the City’s new “Living Room”. The design team, comprised of architects, engineers and landscape designers worked in close collaboration with the artist’s studio and various City entities to bring cohesion to the many-faceted puzzle that the corner urban lot presented itself with. At a total project cost of approximately $4 million, Tower Square is scheduled for completion in late September of 2014. 1.0 HSW NETHU-06

Opening Session: 8:00 – 9:00 am | The Relevance of Architecture in Today’s World | 1.0 LU
Randy Deutsch, AIA, LEED-AP, Associate Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and President of Deutsch Insights
We’re often asked to imagine life without people, life without buildings, even life without oil.
But how about a world without architects?
That’s not hard to imagine. Most people never so much as meet an architect, let alone engage one in a building project.
If architects were to disappear tomorrow – who would care?
To say that architects matter: To whom exactly? And what for?
As the theme for this year’s annual AIA Nebraska conference "Relevance," Randy's keynote presentation will highlight the myriad of things we do as architects everyday to enhance our relevance, and the things we must do to avoid irrelevance.
His talk will be a fast-paced, comprehensive look at why architects matter – in our day-to-day practices, and in the larger scheme of things. 1.0 LU NEFRI01

Educational Session 1
10:00 – 11:00 am
Project Delivery Trends: How State Legislatures Everywhere Are Shaping Your future | 1.0 HSW
Attend this session to understand the direction in which lawmakers are headed for getting public buildings built. If public design and construction is even remotely part of your practice, you must know what’s coming your way, how AIA is responding, and what you can do to help shape the outcomes to reclaim the role of the architect. Capital construction funding gaps are widespread and lawmakers are increasingly turning to the private sector for solutions. AIA is tracking these proposed solutions and developing legislative provisions that promote design quality, minimize public risk, and maximize the value for taxpayers. The AIA developed provisions, however, will fail without messengers. Attend this session to learn what the legislative provisions are and how architects can engage in a very important dialogue | debate that is happening every day in the halls of the state legislatures without the voice of architects. 1.0 HSW NEFRI02

12:30 – 1:00 pm | Luncheon Presentation: Generations in the Workplace: Why Can't We All Get Along?
There is a lot of name calling going on in the workplace. You can hear remarks like "Old Farts!" and "Slackers!" whispered under the breaths of many employees. For the first time in history, there are four generations working side by side…and we don’t always see eye to eye. Every generation develops its own set of rules, values and perspectives. This presentation will outline those characteristics to help understand each generation and assist in bridging the gap. We can improve workplace communication, morale and productivity if we embrace the differences and capitalize on the strengths of each generation.
