Infrastructure Upgrades – 2009-10
This project will upgrade the hot and chilled water system, electrical power, and domestic water and sewer systems to support growth on the campus

 

McCarthy Hall Renovation (Seismic) – 2010-11
This project will renovate McCarthy Hall (#2), a six-story science building constructed in 1963. The scope of work includes required code changes for adequate air exchange in laboratories and appropriate plumbing for wet labs. The building requires some seismic strengthening based on the 1995 building code. The project will include mechanical/electrical/plumbing retrofits, hazardous material removal, and decommissioning and replacement of fume hoods in labs. In addition, the project will convert 300 FTE in laboratory space into 540 FTE in lecture space and 12 faculty offices.

 
Physical Education Renovation – 2011-12
This project will renovate the physical education facility (#4), built in 1965, for current and future academic needs. Programmatic needs have changed greatly since the 1960s. The Kinesiology and Health promotion programs place a far great emphasis on science and technology, wellness, and hands-on learning. Space changes and upgrades to classrooms and laboratories are needed to support these curricular changes. The building will be renovated to correct code deficiencies for accessibility and HVAC systems, as well as to improve safety for gymnastics. The removal of hazardous material is included in this project.
 
Langsdorf Hall Renovation – 2012-13
This project will renovate portions of Langsdorf Hall in order to reuse areas vacated by the relocation of the College of Business and Economics to its new building. It will adapt floors three through seven to new uses, retaining the lower floors in their present use for student services. The proposed renovation of Langdorf Hall would expand the much-needed administrative space and allow for more campuswide computer labs associated with campuswide library space. After the work is completed, the space will be configured to serve 1,823 FTE in lecture space and to alleviate library and administrative space deficiencies, for a net reduction of 853 FTE in lecture space.
 
Performing Arts Renovation – Future Date
This project will renovate building (#3), to provide for the academic program. The building, constructed in 1965, will be renovated to correct ADA and code deficiencies, and will upgrade existing building systems. Safety issues make it necessary to upgrade the scene change mechanisms and the orchestra pit. The removal of hazardous material (lead and asbestos) incidental to the renovation is included in this project. After the new auditorium is completed, this recital and practice rooms will need to be upgraded. This project will also convert 39 existing two-station faculty offices to 56 single-station offices.
 
Library Renovation – Future Date
This project will renovate all building systems and correct existing ADA and code deficiencies for this facility (#5) that was constructed in 1966. Self-instructional computer laboratories will be included to provide an interactive learning environment. This project includes the renovation of the student quadrangle outside the library.
 
Humanities and Education Classroom Renovations – Future Date
This project will build an additional capacity of 100 FTE in lecture space and renovate existing classrooms to provide much-needed upgrades of lighting, ventilation, accessibility, and technological and interactive capabilities in the humanities and education classroom building (#7).
