Phase 1 – Now Underway Currently completing Phase 1 of the project ($1,098,789 - $44,500 = $1,054,289) Complete renovation of existing mechanical room (heating system, air handling units, plumbing, electrical) Improved ventilation in chemical storage area and chemistry lab Restroom renovation

Phase 2 Request Phase 2 total request of $1,057,512 Remove existing HVAC ductwork, piping, temperature controls and lighting Install new HVAC ductwork and chilled beams to classrooms and offices Install new ceiling grids, lay-in tile, lighting fixtures and lighting controls Replace existing finned tube radiation pneumatic controls with direct digital control valves for integration with the chilled beams and re-heat coils Install new sprinkler system throughout the building for fire protection (which the building currently does not have) New lab stations in Chemistry lab (one with ADA accessibility) Tip: Add your own speaker notes here.

Intended Outcomes High level of air quality in science labs Fire suppression system Uniform level of heating and air conditioning throughout the building Improved lighting in central corridors

Back-up Boiler Current Situation One primary boiler for campus heating Installed in 2006 One back-up boiler Installed in 1966 Not sized to heat the entire campus if the primary boiler should break down If the primary boiler breaks down during severely cold weather, the campus would likely be shut down in order to keep the residence halls heated
