Program verification
- The two program documents will serve as the basis for the reivew.
- Expect that some of the space specified in the two documents will need to be eliminated and the efficiency (Net Assignable SF / Gross SF) will be reduced from 7o% to the state guideline of 50-60% range.
- The new Department of Education will not be housed in the building.
- spaces required for A/V storage and IT closets (quantity, size, layouts)
- spaces (cubicles?) for IT technicians - need to find out how many
- expects IT standards to be similar to RV science center ( the architects will be the same for both science center and science E/W)
- wireless requirements
- phone requirements (VOIP??)
There will be a new elevator in Science West (phones / alarms)
HVAC to be connected to FNET for monitoring
It is expected that both buildings will have green roofing systems.
Timing
While the renovation is being designed as one project it is possible that the construction will be treated as two projects.
Construction will not start until the science people move to the new Science Center which is projected to be March 1 2011.
No decision has been made where to move the math people when construction starts.
Funding
The county has provided the 'design' funding. The 'construction' funding has not been approved by the state and the county may have to provide it all.
