EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project is being planned by the architectural firm of Ruyle & Masters & Jennewein Architects. On September 7, 2004, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Heery International, Inc. The scope of work provides for campus-wide replacement of the electrical distribution system. Branch panels and light fixtures will be replaced at most buildings except 1, 2, and 3 where lamp and ballast replacements will be made. Walkway lighting will be added, where required. New fire alarm, intercom, security, and telephone systems will be installed throughout the facility. Mechanical work includes replacement of the obsolete air conditioning systems. Replacement of exhaust fans and other various upgrades will be made throughout the campus to provide ADA accessibility. Interior work consists of the demolition and refinishing of finishes including casework. Many of these tasks are the result of the demolition required for the mechanical and electrical work. Exterior work includes ramp additions at covered walkways to provide ADA accessibility. Windows are being added to Buildings 7, 8, 9, & 11 and window glazing beads are being replaced at Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 10. Building 10 will be reroofed.
