Follow- Up Items: Agenda Item 4: Update on Renovations of Facilities RGC Main Building

Person responsible: Presenter: Paul Mason, Project Manager Facilities and Operations

Discussion: Paul Mason presented a power point presentation in which he reviewed and discussed the Basis of Scope Development for the renovation of RGC main building. Key Points: Basis of Scope Development  Concept Diagrams developed in meetings with design team  Exterior restoration narrative from preservation sub-consultant outlining what most likely will be required by the Historic Landmark Commission  MEP Narrative from MEP Engineer  Preliminary Assessment by waterproofing sub-consultant  Consultation with Barlett-Cocke regarding exterior masonry restoration  Includes design contingency and escalation  Basebid includes: o 32 Classrooms, Approx. 860 SF each o 2 Classrooms, Approx. 1,000 SF each o 48 Faculty Offices, Approx. 100 SF each o 6 Science Labs o 4 Computer Labs Alternate 1 includes: o Enclosed two courtyards o Cover courtyards with roof enclosed space o Develop new interior square footage on the first floor  Complete renovation will be 141,000 SF with the basebid; alternate adds 6,000 sq. ft for a total of 147,000 sq. ft.  Studio 8 focuses on interior design  Architexas came on board to provide recommendations for the exterior. The Annex building is not considered a historical land mark.  The Annex Building is also not on historical zoned land  After many discussions it has been recommended to remove the auditorium and potentially create space for the library, learning lab and or an accelerator lab.  The elevator will need to be relocated for the courtyard renovation  Code requires 4 stairs, currently the main building has 11. The 4 corner stairwells will remain. One of the other stairwells potentially be used for the elevator.  We have to work with the original structural frame. North & South wings make good use of structure to provide space for general purpose classrooms. Programming and designs are temporarily on hold. The process for design and construction will take approximately 3 years. Q&A Q: Can work crews use the parking garage to limit the street parking? R: Bill Mullane: We will still have a need for student and faulty parking because classes will be in session. It may be possible to let them use some of the garage. Annex parking lot may or may not be available as it will have a fence around it for safety concerns. Q: What classes will be here during the renovation?

R: Dean Gaye Lynn Scott: PACE Programs will stay here. We are working at the Dean’s level and getting close to figuring out what classes will be here. There will be 6 general purpose classrooms and 2 ASL labs. Decision/Actions: Follow- Up Items:
