Joseph C. Marvasi recognized as a new Professional Engineer by DAPE Landmark Science & Engineering wins Conceptor Award for Engineering Excellence
N EWARK, DE — Landmark Science & Engineering won the Conceptor Award at ACEC Delaware’s Engineering Excel- lence Awards ceremony at the 2022 Engineer Week Banquet held this year. The Conceptor Award is the second highest award pre- sented and was for the cat- egory for projects in the over $5 million cost category. Land- mark’s Joseph C. Marvasi was also recognized as a new Professional Engineer by the Delaware Association of Pro- fessional Engineers (DAPE) at this rescheduled banquet held on June 16, 2022. Fairview Campus Set New Standards for School Develop- ment Delaware’s first public K-12 school, Fairview Campus, located in the fast-growing Middletown-OdessaTownsend area, was recognized as a school model that set new standards for school development. With the civil engineering site design of unique, low-impact stormwa- ter elements, combined with shared building components and site infrastructure, the 272-acres of farmland – a large tract of prime land – was able to remain intact and meet all of the community’s educational needs in one campus setting, rather than on four separate school sites with many costly redundancies. It is also pos- sible that less overall land will ultimately be removed from the public tax rolls by consolidating the four schools on one site. Engineering Excellence In addition to the design of low-impact stormwater fa- cilities, approval of parking
natural turf fields, with irriga - tion hydrants, two synthetic turf football/soccer fields, a rubberized 8-lane track, and a field house and stadium with LED lighting and fencing. Unified Construction Plan Fairview’s unified construc - tion plan saved a lot of money by thinking ‘outside the box.’ Capital cost savings were de- rived from reducing the overall infrastructure built for one site vs. four separate school sites. Shared infrastructure includes: 1) stormwater management facilities, 2) utilities, 3) en- trance, 4) roads, 5) parking lots, 6) access ways, 7) athletic amenities. Clustering the buildings around a central campus al- lowed utilities, such as sewer, water, etc., to be installed via central trunks from a single source, creating additional in- frastructure cost savings. The project needed only one water meter pit rather than four, saving $90,000, three fewer connections to the water sys- tem saved $50,000, and three fewer sewer connections saved $20,000. Three fewer vehicular entrances onto a public road saved $450,000 and reduction of 10 acres of paving saved +$5,000,000. Similar financial benefits occurred with every other element of the infra- structure and shared school facilities. Economies of scale also played a role in savings. Long-term operating and main- tenance costs savings of the stormwater management and other facilities will be realized, and bus routes are consolidat- ed, shortening routes. MAREJ
Cantwell’s Bridge Middle and Odessa High, respectively, with the plan to add one grade per year. This sequencing allowed the middle school to host Silver Lake Elementary students in 2020 while their school expansion was being com- pleted, and the high school to host Everett Meredith Middle students in 2021 until their school reconstruction is com- plete in 2022. The middle and high school buildings are connected with major shared building components, includ- ing a big box performing arts center, to create one continu- ous and unified facility. The site features an Ag building and attached greenhouse with a fenced animal area. The athletic facilities comprise six tennis courts, a 10-field sports complex with a combination of skills and project management experience are put to good use.

variances allowed for shared vehicle parking and bus load - ing area that eliminated about 1,000 parking spaces – or 10 acres – of impervious parking surfaces. This helped with greening of the site, main- taining more natural habitat, improving water quality, and saving construction costs, as well as operating and main- tenance costs that the school district will realize for many years to come. All classroom buildings were designed with frontage around a central green, with an inner loop road for parent drop-off of students that is segregated from bus, staff, and student parking by directing those vehicles to an outer loop road. Vehicle access to the separated loop roads is via a single, dual lane entrance/exit boulevard and roundabout. Activity cen-
ters, such as the performing arts center, gymnasium, and sports complex with tennis courts, track and field, athletic fields, and stadium, are all situ - ated with direct access to the outer loop. Shared Infrastructure The 4,000-student, 571,000 s/f campus was designed for completion in two phases to meet the vision and needs of the District, while minimiz- ing development costs. The first phase of the campus (K-5) opened in August 2012 with completion of site infrastruc- ture, entrance, four-lane bou- levard and roundabout, and the first two schools: Spring Meadow Early Childhood Cen- ter and Old State Elementary. The second phase of the campus was completed in Sep- tember 2020, allowing sixth and ninth graders to start in
