Project Name: Residence Hall Study
Location: University of Wisconsin - Stout
DSF#: 08 J 2J
Study Parameters - The purpose of this study was to develop a long range plan for the remodeling of the Campus’ residence halls. The study is to provide planning guidance relative to existing facility deficiencies, scope of potential remodeling projects, estimated project costs, and phasing considerations.
Programmatic Needs – The Campus has indicated that there is not a need to consider major programmatic changes in the long range plan. All of the residence halls addressed in this study currently have two students per room and this is not expected to change in the next 10 years.
Building Condition – Future major projects should include:
Addition of a Fire Protection System – Whether or not required by the current building codes, it is highly recommended that fire protection systems be considered and budgeted for all of the residence halls with any major remodeling project.
ADA Remodeling – Major components of this include toilet room remodeling, elevator additions, and accessible route modifications.
Complete Upgrade of the Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical, and
Telecommunication Systems – This is primarily due to the age of the systems, but also provides an opportunity for greater energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
Window Replacement – Windows are original to all of the buildings except
McCalmont Hall.
Asbestos Abatement – According to documentation on Campus, most of the residence halls have extensive areas of asbestos containing materials.
Much of this is 9”x9” floor tile. Although some areas may have been abated over time, the documentation indicates that much of this material is still in place under the carpeted areas.
Upgraded Finishes – Many areas have finishes that are currently due for replacement, most other areas will be due for replacement within the 10-12 year span of this long range plan. Also, major remodeling projects will likely disturb the existing finishes in many areas of the buildings. The
Campus asked that the remodeling scope and budgets include a complete upgrade for floor, wall, and ceiling finishes.
Door and Hardware replacement – Most of the existing exterior doors and hardware are in poor condition. The Campus expressed a desire to have all interior and exterior doors and hardware replaced with any major remodeling project.

Hovlid Hall Precedent – At the time of this report the remodeling of the Hovlid
Residence Hall is currently underway on the UW -Stout Campus. Hovlid Hall is located on the North Campus and is very similar to Fleming and Wigen Halls in terms of size, layout, and construction. It was agreed during the study that the scope of the remodeling specified for the Hovlid Hall project could be used as a precedent for the scope of work identified for the residence halls addressed in this report. In general, the following scope of work is addressed in the Hovlid project:
• Replacement of all doors and hardware
• Replacement of all interior finishes
• Replacement of windows*
• Exterior masonry tuckpointing/caulking replacement
• Replacement of roof *
•
Remodeling and expansion of toilet/shower rooms
• Complete replacement of HVAC system
• Addition of fire protection system
• Complete replacement of plumbing system
• Complete replacement of electrical/telecommunication systems
• ADA remodeling, including the addition of an elevators*
*does not apply to scope for all residence halls
Planning Guide – Various options for project scheduling and sequence ordering were developed and evaluated based on overall cost, bed loss limitations, infrastructural implications, swing space availability, and funding limitations. These options were reviewed with Campus with the following outcome.
Final Phasing Order and Schedule Recommendation – The following recommendation was developed for the phasing order and overall schedule. This recommendation assumes the first two phases of construction will occur in 2011 and 2012. It also assumes that during the first two years of phasing, JTC will remain on-line for use as swing space. Following the first two phases, the schedule shifts to what is being called the Spring/Spring schedule option for the remainder of the projects. This schedule option isolates all construction activities and bed losses to the Spring Semesters, avoiding bed losses in the Fall Semesters.

March 2009
The recommended phasing sequence is as follows:
Project 1 Phase 1
Phase 2
Fleming
Wigen (first round, limited scope)
Project 2 Phase 1
Phase 2
CK
TO
Project 3 Phase 1
Phase 2
HK
MC
Project 4 Phase 1
Phase 2
South Hall Cubes A and B
South Hall Cube C
Project 5 Phase 1
Phase 2
AF
McCalmont
Project 6 Phase 1
Phase 2
North Hall Cube A
North Hall Cubes B and C
Project 7 Phase 1 Wigen (second round, full scope)
This recommendation indicates two rounds of remodeling for Wigen Hall.
This is driven primarily by funding limitations. The Campus does not anticipate having funds available to do the entire Fleming/Wigen remodeling during the 2011-2012 period. It is anticipated that the Campus may be able to fund approximately $2M worth of remodeling for the Wigen project during this period. It is estimated that this level of funding will allow remodeling of the toilet rooms, window replacement, connections to the
Hovlid generator, and other minor site utility modifications only. The remainder of the remodeling would be done at the very end of the cycle
(2023). It should be noted that the entire Wigen remodeling can occur in a single phase within either one of the Wigen time slots identified below if funding limits/opportunities dictate a need for such an adjustment.

Budgets for Solutions - Budget Assumptions
The budgets were developed by first establishing a base cost to represent the scope of work identified in this study in today’s dollars (see Appendix for detail).
These costs were then inserted in to spreadsheets based on the ordering and schedule options being considered to provide an understanding of the effects of cost escalation. The illustration below allows a comparison of the Spring/Spring
Schedule Option (favored by Campus) with the Spring/Fall Schedule option. The ordering of the projects is based on the recommendations above. It should be noted that a third investigation was also developed that included a new 240 bed residence hall. The primary purpose of this investigation was to illustrate the potential escalation savings with a very aggressive long term schedule. Since this investigation was primarily academic, details have not been included in the executive summary

March 2009
Summary and Other Considerations
The key components of these recommendations in this study are:
• To minimize the loss of resident rooms, additions are preferred to remodeling for programmatic modifications (toilet/shower needs).
• All remodeling will include complete mechanical and electrical infrastructure replacement (comparable to Hovlid)
• The overall timeframe required to carry out the remodeling of all of the halls studied is 2010-2023
• The overall project cost for the recommended approach is approximately $100M
Although scheduling options are available to reduce escalation costs for the project as a whole, funding availability is a primary limiting factor and a key driver for the final recommendation.
As indicated in this study, most of the halls studied are over 40 years old with original building systems. With the recommended schedule, which stretches from
2010-2023, it is very likely that there will be additional operations and maintenance costs, as well as potential systems failures that should be anticipated by the
Campus.
Conversely, the elongated schedule does provide the Campus with time to evaluate trends in student housing and better determine what the long range demand for student housing will be. It is possible that midway through the cycle it is determined that there is a much greater, or much reduced demand for student housing. The recommended schedule allows the Campus time to alter the approach a few years out to accelerate the remodeling, opt to eliminate or replace a hall rather than remodel, make adjustments to housing contracts, etc., rather than potentially overinvesting in remodeling with the assumption that long term demand will continue to grow.

In November of 2008 SDS Architects was hired to conduct a study involving most of the UW-Stout residence halls. The purpose of this study was to develop a long range plan for the remodeling of the Campus’ residence halls. The study is to provide planning guidance relative to existing facility deficiencies, scope of potential remodeling projects, estimated project costs, and phasing considerations.
During a meeting intended to define the scope of the study it was decided to conduct in two phases. The purpose of this division was to provide a baseline understanding of the extent of the potential building issues prior to developing the scope of study services needed for Phase 2. Following is the general scope associated with each phase:
Phase 1 - Information Gathering
•
Review Previously Developed Materials
• Document Existing Conditions
• Identify Deficiencies
Phase 2 – Planning Guide
• Develop Solution Options for Deficiencies
• Develop Schedule and Phasing Options
• Develop Budgets for Solutions
Residence Halls included in the scope of this study are:
• AFM - Antrim/Froggat/McCalmont
• CKTO – Curran/Kranzusch/Tustison/Oetting
• HKMC – Hansen/Keith/Milnes/Chinnock
•
North Hall
• South Hall
• Wigen Hall
• Fleming Hall

Overview SDS Architects involved KJWW Engineers and Southport Engineered
Systems as part of the Architectural/Engineering team during the study to provide analysis and recommendations for the mechanical and electrical systems for each of the residence halls. During Phase 1 the A/E team conducted a walk-though at each of the buildings and reviewed building documentation materials available on
Campus. Building Evaluations were developed during these activities and are included in the appendix of this document. A summary of the most significant deficiencies needing to be addressed in future projects is as follows:
Building Condition – Future major projects should include:
Addition of a Fire Protection System – Whether or not required by the current building codes, it is highly recommended that fire protection systems be considered and budgeted for all of the residence halls with any major remodeling project.
ADA Remodeling – Major components of this include toilet room remodeling, elevator additions (where not currently present), and accessible route modifications.
Complete Upgrade of the Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical – This is primarily due to the age of the systems, but also provides an opportunity for greater energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
Window Replacement – Windows are original to all of the buildings except
McCalmont Hall.
Asbestos Abatement – According to documentation on Campus, most of the residence halls have extensive areas of asbestos containing materials.
Much of this is 9”x9” floor tile. Although some areas may have been abated over time, documentation indicates that much of this material is still in place under the carpeted areas.
Upgraded Finishes – Many areas have finishes that are currently due for replacement, most other areas will be due for replacement within the 10-12 year span of this long range plan. Also, major remodeling projects will likely disturb the existing finishes in many areas of the buildings. The
Campus asked that the remodeling scope and budgets include a complete upgrade for floor, wall, and ceiling finishes.
Door and Hardware Replacement – Most of the existing exterior doors and hardware are in poor condition. The Campus expressed a desire to have all interior and exterior doors and hardware replaced with any major remodeling project.

Overview - The purpose of the this Planning Guide is to provide the UW-Stout
Campus with a tool to assist long range planning for existing residence hall improvements. The guide provides an understanding of the individual and overall costs of the proposed improvements, options available for phasing of the projects, and sequencing implications related to the order in which the projects are undertaken.
Process – To establish a starting point for discussion, this phase began with the development of preliminary concept solutions, budgets, scheduling options, and a phasing order based primarily on the engineering team recommendations, without consideration of specific Campus needs. These preliminary concept materials were then shared with the Campus during an afternoon workshop in April 2009. During the workshop the Campus provided feedback on the concepts, specific limits on schedule options, and other budget driven limitations. This Campus feedback allowed the finalization of the recommendation illustrated in this document.
Hovlid Hall Precedent – At the time of this report the remodeling of the Hovlid
Residence Hall is currently underway on the UW -Stout Campus. Hovlid Hall is located on the North Campus and is very similar to Fleming and Wigen Halls in terms of size, layout, and construction. It was agreed during the study that the scope of the remodeling specified for the Hovlid Hall project could be used as a precedent for the scope of work identified for the residence halls addressed in this report. In general, the following scope of work is addressed in the Hovlid project:
• Replacement of all doors and hardware
• Replacement of all interior finishes
• Replacement of windows*
•
Exterior masonry tuckpointing/caulking replacement
• Replacement of roof *
• Remodeling and expansion of toilet/shower rooms
• Complete replacement of HVAC system
• Addition of fire protection system
• Complete replacement of plumbing system
•
Complete replacement of electrical/telecommunication systems
• ADA remodeling, including the addition of an elevators*
*does not apply to scope for all residence halls
Primary Building Configuration Terms - For ease of communication the following terms will be used to identify and describe the three primary types of residence hall building configurations found on Campus.
SDS Architects | Page 10 of 25
March 2009
Cube – This term applies to residence halls that are configured with multiple cube-like wings linked by corridor/lounge spaces. Each floor of the
“cubes” is made up perimeter resident rooms surrounding a center toilet room/stairwell core. Residence halls of this type include HKMC, CKTO and AF.
Linear – This term applies to residence halls that are configured in a linear fashion with a single double loaded corridor on each floor lined with resident rooms on each side. Residence halls of this type include Wigen,
Fleming, and McCalmont.
North/South – This term applies to North and South Hall .
Programmatic Modifications – During Phase 1 meetings, the Campus indicated that there is not a need to consider major programmatic changes in the long range plan. All of the residence halls addressed in this study currently have two students per room and this is not expected to change in the next 10 years.
Similar to the Hovlid Hall precedent, the areas requiring programmatic modifications include the Toilet/Shower areas and Floor Lounges. The goal is to improve the quality and sizes of the areas to better meet the expectations of the residents. The improvements are to provide visually and functionally modernized facilities with greater levels of privacy and accessibility for the disabled.
Two primary approaches were used to develop options to satisfy the Toilet
Room/Lounge Remodeling. One approach (labeled Option A in the examples below) attempted to work within the current building footprint, remodeling existing areas to meet the programmatic needs without any additions. The second approach (labeled Option B in the examples below) provided additions to accommodate some or all of the proposed programmatic modifications.
CKTO Option A Example
Remodel Only
CKTO Option B Example
Addition & Remodel
SDS Architects | Page 11 of 25
March 2009
Programmatic Modifications Findings and Recommendation – The Options described above were developed in concept form for each of the Residence Halls and shared with the Campus in April 2009. With these options it was noted that
Option A, although likely less expensive initially, was compromised due to the following issues, several of which were lessons learned during the design for the
Hovlid Hall remodeling:
Loss of Beds – Existing resident rooms would need to be sacrificed to gain the amount of space needed for the toilet room and shower facilities.
Because Option B provides new space for these functions, resident rooms are not sacrificed.
Structural Limitations – The existing cast-in-place floor slab structural system does not lend itself to the many new floor penetrations necessary for the relocated plumbing. In some instances, the location of existing structural reinforcing dictates the locations of penetrations for relocated piping and floor drains. This issue, coupled with the very low floor to ceiling space available, causes problems with exposed piping traps from floors above creating headroom clearance and exposed piping appearance issues. Because Option B allows the structural system to be designed around the proposed layout, these issues are minimized.
Compromised Layouts –Option A relies on the insertion of new programmatic functions into existing, and established structures. Because of this, there are inherent limitations in layout options and compromises in the layouts. Because Option B provides new space for these functions, a more optimal layout can be achieved.
Option B Cube Concept Overview – Additions are placed at the corner of each cube to house the Toilet/Shower Rooms (shown green). In some cases, new stairwells should be considered to improve the existing exiting conditions (as indicated in diagram below). The remodeled backfill areas (shown blue), vacated by the toilet/shower area relocation are able to be converted to commons, lounge, and kitchen type spaces. This concept applies to CKTO, HKMC and AF.
CKTO Option B Example CKTO Option B Example, Enlarged

March 2009
Option B Linear Concept Overview – An addition is placed at the center of the building to allow the expansion of the Toilet/Shower Rooms (shown green). The existing toilet room areas and lounge areas are indicated for remodeling to accommodate the reconfigured toilet/shower areas (shown blue). This concept applies to Fleming and Wigen.
Fleming Option B Example Fleming Option B Example, Enlarged
Option B North/South Concept Overview – Similar to the Cube Concept, additions are placed at the corner of each wing to house the Toilet/Shower Rooms
(shown green). The remodeled backfill areas (shown blue), vacated by the toilet/shower area relocation are able to be converted to commons, lounge, and kitchen type spaces. This concept applies to North and South Halls.

Infrastructure Improvements The recommendations for infrastructure improvements stem from the findings of Phase 1. Generally, all of the mechanical, electrical infrastructure components in all of the buildings are identified as in need of replacement. The extent of systems replacement or addition in all of the residence halls include:
Plumbing : Replacement of all plumbing piping and fixtures. Removal and replacement of basement floor slab to accommodate piping replacement.
Heating Ventilation : Replacement of all heating and ventilation system components.
Air Conditioning : Included for office spaces only. Air conditioning for other areas was studied and deemed unpractical due to factors of cost, space loss, and other building envelope conditions.
Fire Protection : Addition of a complete fire protection system.
Electrical : Replacement of all power, lighting, and distribution components.
Fire Alarm : Replacement of entire fire alarm system.
Security: Addition of security system.
Emergency Generator : Replacement of existing generators and addition of generators where currently not present
Technology: Per input from the Campus, new infrastructure will be provided to all remodeled residence halls to support the current and future growth of the campus. The infrastructure will consist of single mode and multi-mode fiber optic cabling to support 10G applications and coaxial cable to support current cable television needs. Within each residence hall a universal cabling system will be installed which will consist Category 6A cabling to support future voice over IP and 10G applications.
Other Improvements The recommendations for other improvements stem from the findings of Phase 1 and from the precedent set by the Hovlid Hall project. The extent of other improvements include:
Doors and Hardware: Replacement of all interior and exterior doors and hardware. Existing interior frames to be refinished.
Finishes : Replacement of all finishes including carpet, hard flooring, painting, and ceilings.
Resident Rooms: Replacement of closets and construction of soffits to house new mechanical/electrical/fire protection systems. Removal of existing desks/shelving (replaced with movable furnishings).
Window Replacement: Replacement of all exterior windows (does not apply to McCalmont, windows recently replaced).
Asbestos Abatement: Removal of all asbestos containing materials.
Elevators: Add elevators where elevators are not currently in place to provide accessibility to all floors.
SDS Architects | Page 14 of 25
March 2009
Roof Replacement: Roofing replacement is included in the scope for roofs that are nearing the end of their warranty period at the projected time of remodeling.
Campus Phasing Requirements – The Campus required that the phasing plan limit the loss of resident beds to approximately 240 at one time. Furthermore, whenever possible, the loss of beds should be during the spring semester (January through May) since there is a much higher demand for beds the fall semester compared to the spring semester.
Phasing Units – The 240 bed loss limit set by the Campus is roughly equivalent to the bed capacity of half of HKMC or CKTO type “cube” complexes. Wigen and
Fleming halls each fit within the 240 bed limit individually.
Summary of Phases – Based on the phasing unit requirements, the following twelve phase components were identified (not in phasing order).
McCalmont – 202 beds (potential capacity, typical)
AF (Antrim/Froggat) – 250 beds
CK (Curran/Kranzusch) – 244 beds
TO (Tustison/Oetting) – 248 beds
HK (Hansen/Keith) – 244 beds
MC (Milnes/Chinnock) – 254 beds
North Cube A – 118 beds
North Cubes B and C – 256 beds
South Cube A – 120 beds
South Cubes B and C – 246 beds
Wigen – 238 beds
Fleming – 202 beds
Scheduling Options – Three schedule options were developed for consideration by the Campus. The options were developed to illustrate possible short term phasing cycles for single “projects”, each consisting of two phases. A “project” is defined as one complex, such as HKMC. The exceptions to this are Wigen and
Fleming which are two separate buildings, but considered together as one project due to their size and similarity. Long term schedules are also provided to illustrate the implications of these cycles when repeated to complete all of the twelve phases.
SDS Architects | Page 15 of 25
March 2009
Spring/Fall Option – This option starts each construction cycle with Phase
1 in January and Phase 2 in May. Completion of Phase 2 is in December of the same year.
Benefits: o Shortest disruption period per cycle (13 months) o Shortest overall project time span (6 years of construction) o Lowest escalation cost due to condensed time frame o Lowest cost for temporary infrastructure with Mechanical/Electrical equipment change-over in summer between phases. o No issues with lead time for equipment.
Shortcomings: o Campus looses beds in Fall Semester o Funding may not allow accelerated schedule
SDS Architects | Page 16 of 25
March 2009
Fall/Spring Option – This option starts each construction cycle with Phase
1 in May and Phase 2 in January of the following year and extending through August, eight months later.
Benefits: o Disruption period is 16 months per cycle. o Short overall project time span (7 years of construction) o Cycles can overlap in summer months (ie: year two starts while year one finishes)
Shortcomings: o Campus looses beds in Fall Semester o Funding may not allow accelerated schedule o Design and bidding must consider added lead time for source equipment.
SDS Architects | Page 17 of 25
March 2009
Spring/Spring Option – This option starts all phases in January with completion in August of the same year.
Benefits: o Beds are only lost in Spring Semester (January – May). o May be best fit for funding availability.
Shortcomings: o Highest escalation cost due to extended time frame o Added cost for temporary infrastructure with Mechanical/Electrical equipment change-over at end of cycle.
SDS Architects | Page 18 of 25
March 2009
Campus Preference – During a review of the schedule options above, the Campus indicated that Spring/Spring Option is the only one that will work for them. Since the beginning of the fall semester is the time of highest demand for beds, the two options that include construction during this semester are not possible without additional swing space to accommodate the bed demand in the fall.
Building Divisions – All of the “cube” and “North/South” configured complexes will require phasing to stay within the 240 bed loss limit. Using the preferred
Spring/Spring schedule model above, it was determined that it is best to first remodel the portion of the building that does not house the mechanical and electrical source equipment (electrical service and main mechanical/steam entry).
This is recommended because it allows time for procurement of the long lead source equipment such as transformers, heat exchangers etc. This source equipment would then be installed in phase 2, at the very end of the project.
Temporary service provisions needed until end of Phase 2
Building Division Phasing Diagram
SDS Architects | Page 19 of 25
March 2009
Phasing Order
Overall Condition - If ordered strictly by age, the buildings would be ordered as follows:
Fleming , 1961
McCalmont , 1962
AF , 1966
CKTO 1966 (Oetting 1968)
HKMC , 1966 (Chinnock 1969)
North , 1967
South , 1967
Wigen , 1970
However, other than Wigen Hall, all of the buildings are over 40 years old and have very similar systems deficiencies. Therefore, other factors related to generators, technology, swing space availability, and funding limitations provide direction to the ordering of the phases.
Generators - Emergency loads at AF, CKTO, and HKMC’s are currently served by a single generator located in CKTO. The Campus wishes to maintain this configuration so the first building of those three that should be renovated is CKTO. Additional work will be required to temporarily reconnect AF and HKMC to that new generator, with final connections being done as part of those building’s renovations. North Hall and South
Hall each have their own generator. These generators are currently being installed. Conduit is being provided to Fleming and Wigen as part of the emergency generator work currently underway at the Hovlid Hall project.
Transfer switches and wiring will be required as part of the remodeling for these two halls.
Technology The current south campus technology node that supports the residence halls is located at North Hall. A new node will be set up in HKMC allowing the North Hall node to be phased out as each residence hall is remodeled. For this reason, North Hall should be the last to be remodeled on the south Campus.
Swing Space Availability – Although the Campus can sacrifice up to 240 beds during second semester, options for gaining additional swing space were discussed as possibilities. Although funding availability will not likely allow an accelerated schedule, the purpose of the discussion was to identify ways for acceleration should the need or ability arise to do so. The following swing space scenarios were identified.
McCalmont – Roughly 20% of this hall is currently being used for non-resident room functions. If all of the rooms could be converted back to resident rooms it would provide additional swing space beds. The feasibility of this option is unknown by Campus at this time since it relies heavily on several other campus projects to accommodate those that would be moved from McCalmont.
SDS Architects | Page 20 of 25
March 2009
JTC – Located on the North Campus, JTC is currently used for student housing, but is scheduled to be taken off-line when the
Hovlid Hall Renovation and Addition project is completed. Swing space beds could be provided by this facility if it were able to be kept in service longer. It was noted that this will not be likely for the long term, but may be a possibility for a year or two. If this option is considered, additional investigations are recommended for the North Campus steam capacity. Based on the findings from other recent project on the North Campus, the steam available may not be adequate for the expected loads. It is certain that the existing JTC foodservice functions will need to be taken off-line when the new Hovlid foodservice is completed. Although the JTC complex is not included in the scope of this study, it is known by
Campus that there are issues with the overall condition of the facility that also need to be considered.
New Residence Hall – If a new residence hall were to be constructed, this may provide enough swing space to allow an entire building such as HKMC, to be taken off-line for remodeling at one time. This would allow the overall schedule to be shortened, resulting in escalation cost savings. Furthermore, at the end of the phasing cycle, the campus has the option of demolishing one of the residence halls while maintaining the current bed count, should demand remain constant. Based on feedback from Campus it is understood that this option is not likely available due to funding constraints.
Additions to North and South Halls – North and South Halls were originally designed with only 3 wings (as opposed to 4 like HKMC,
CKTO). New wings could be added to these halls to accomplish a result similar to the one outlined above under “New Residence
Hall”. The same funding limitations also apply.
Funding Limits – According to Campus, the immediate outlook for funding in the near future falls short of the needs identified. Since Fleming is one of the smaller complexes, starting with this building will allow time for a
“ramping up” of the necessary funding for the remainder of the project.
This also happens to be the oldest as well which is added justification for starting with Fleming.
Final Phasing Order and Schedule Recommendation – Based on the factors above, the following recommendation was developed for the phasing order and overall schedule. This recommendation assumes that during the first two years of phasing, JTC North Campus connection will remain on-line for use as swing space. This added swing space allows the use of the Fall/Spring Schedule (illustrated earlier in this study) for the first project cycle in 2011-2012. Following the first two phases, the schedule
SDS Architects | Page 21 of 25
March 2009
shifts to the Spring/Spring option for the remainder of the projects. See following Schedule Illustrations.
The recommended phasing sequence is as follows:
Project 1 Phase 1
Phase 2
Fleming
Wigen (first round, limited scope)
Project 2
Project 3
Project 4

Phase 2
AF

North Hall Cube A
North Hall Cubes B and C
Project 7 Phase 1 Wigen (second round, full scope)
SDS Architects | Page 22 of 25
March 2009
This recommendation indicates two rounds of remodeling for Wigen Hall.
This is driven primarily by funding limitations. The Campus does not anticipate having funds available to do the entire Fleming/Wigen remodeling during the 2011-2012 period. It is anticipated that the Campus may be able to fund approximately $2M worth of remodeling for the Wigen project during this period. It is estimated that this level of funding will allow remodeling of the toilet rooms, window replacement, connections to the
Hovlid generator, and other minor site utility modifications only. The remainder of the remodeling would be done at the very end of the cycle
(2023). It should be noted that the entire Wigen remodeling can occur in a single phase within either one of the Wigen time slots identified below if funding limits/opportunities dictate a need for such an adjustment.
Budgets for Solutions - Budget Assumptions
The budgets were developed by first establishing a base cost to represent the scope of work identified in this study in today’s dollars (see Appendix for detail). These costs were then inserted into spreadsheets based on the ordering and schedule options being considered to provide an understanding of the effects of cost escalation. The illustration below allows a comparison of the Spring/Spring Schedule Option (favored by
Campus) with the Spring/Fall Schedule Option. The ordering of the projects is based on the recommendations above. Detailed budget information can be found in the Appendix.
Although the option of a new residence hall is not a likely alternative due to funding limitations, a third budget summary and schedule graphic have been provided to illustrate the effects of this approach on overall schedule and escalation costs. This budget summary assumes that a new residence hall is constructed at the beginning of the cycle to allow the subsequent phases to be larger in scope (240 beds in fall and 480 beds in spring), thus reducing the long term cycle period. This illustration should be considered the "most aggressive" approach, designed to reduce escalation costs. It should also be noted that this illustration includes remodeling for all of the existing residence halls covered by this study even though the campus may opt to replace one of the halls, via demolition (likely 240 bed hall, Fleming or Wigen) instead of remodeling. The related demolition costs would also need to be factored into the budget if the replacement option was considered.

March 2009
Summary and Other Considerations
The key components of these recommendations in this study are:
• To minimize the loss of resident rooms, additions are preferred to remodeling for programmatic modifications (toilet/shower needs).
• All remodeling will include complete mechanical and electrical infrastructure replacement (comparable to Hovlid)
• The overall timeframe required to carry out the remodeling of all of the halls studied is 2010-2023
• The overall project cost for the recommended approach is approximately $100M
Although scheduling options are available to reduce escalation costs for the project as a whole, funding availability is a primary limiting factor and a key driver for the final recommendation.
As indicated in this study, most of the halls studied are over 40 years old with original building systems. With the recommended schedule, which stretches from
2010-2023, it is very likely that there will be additional operations and maintenance costs, as well as potential systems failures that should be anticipated by the
Campus.
Conversely, the elongated schedule does provide the Campus with time to evaluate trends in student housing and better determine what the long range demand for student housing will be. It is possible that midway through the cycle it is determined that there is a much greater, or much reduced demand for student housing. The recommended schedule allows the Campus time to alter the approach a few years out to accelerate the remodeling, opt to eliminate or replace a hall rather than remodel, make adjustments to housing contracts, etc., rather than potentially overinvesting in remodeling with the assumption that long term demand will continue to grow.

Energy Savings Considerations
The proposed remodeling will result in a reduction in energy use for all of the buildings. The estimated annual savings for each building after remodeling (in today's dollars) is:
Fleming
Wigen
$10,000
$11,500
Curran/Kranzusch $12,000
Tustison/Oetting $12,000
Hansen/Keith
Milnes/Chinnok
South A and B
South C
$12,000
$12,500
$11,500
$6,000
Antrim/Frogatt
McCalmont
$12,000
$9,500
North A $5,500
North B and C $12,500
Applying these savings to the schedule options illustrated above results in the following total energy savings by the year 2023:
•
•
Recommended Spring/Spring Schedule: $790,000 energy savings.
Alternative Fall/Spring Schedule: $1,128,000 energy savings.

SUMMARY/OVERVIEW
McCalmont Hall was originally designed as a residence hall in 1962. Today, portions of the building are used for offices and other types of resident and non-resident spaces needed by the Voc-Rehab program.
It appears that the 1966 Antrim-Froggatt (A&F) addition was intended to provide a common front desk for the complex. The floor elevation of the entry/front desk portion of A&F is set to match the adjacent grade, but is not does not match the first floors of McCalmont or A&F. The difference is approximately 7’ from the reception area floor to the adjacent first floors.
A project in the early 1980’s involved the addition of an elevator on the north side of McCalmont. This addition also included a skyway connection to the Vocational Rehabilitation Building to the north.
UTILITY AND SERVICE ANALYSIS
SITE CIVIL/MECHANICAL UTILITIES
1. Water Supply: 4”CI combined water service from the 6” city main to the west in vacated 2 nd
Street east. The water riser is in the SW corner of Antrim Hall. City pressure is 90PSI, with a 3” water meter and a 3” water pressure reducing valve. There is a 4”water supply that exits the building to the south that supplies CKTO
Halls. This water service also supplies McCalmont Hall.
2. Sanitary Sewer: An 8” sewer pipe exits building to the west near the middle of Antrim Hall, material is cast iron
& clay tile.
3. Storm Sewer: An 8” storm sewer pipe exits the building at the NE corner of Froggatt Hall, combines with the storm sewer from CKTO Halls and extends to the city main in 3rd Street, piping is cast iron & clay tile.
4. Plumbing Deficiencies: Water service is undersized for a future fire suppression system. Water service serves multiple buildings, and is undersized. All utility mains are original, 1965. The city water main in 2 nd
Street east does not have adequate pressure/flow for use as a source of water for a fire suppression system, however, there is an 8” city water main in 3rd Street east that will supply adequate pressure/flow for a fire suppression system.
5. Heating Distribution: High pressure steam enters the complex in the lower level of the southwest corner of
McCalmont Hall. Pressure reducing stations in McCalmont Hall reduce the steam pressure below 15 psig for supplying the heat exchanger and ventilation units. The hot water from the heat exchanger is distributed throughout the building for heating. High pressure steam is routed to Antrim and Froggat Halls through an interstitial space connecting the basements of the buildings. Pressure reducing stations in Antrim Hall reduce the steam pressure below 15 psig for supplying the heat exchanger and ventilation units. The hot water from the heat exchanger is distributed throughout the Antrim and Froggat for heating.
6. Cooling Distribution: Chiller is located in the basement of McCalmont serving McCalmont Hall only. The cooling tower is located on the roof. Chilled water and hot water are piped throughout McCalmont Hall, which utilizes a two pipe changeover system with fan coils in each room. Chilled water is not routed to Antrim and
Froggat Halls. Window air conditioning units are used in some locations in Antrim and Froggat Halls.
7. Fuel Distribution: There is a small natural gas meter at the NE corner of Froggatt Hall, it serves 8 gas clothes dryers.

SITE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES
1. Electrical Distribution: 4160 volts is provided to the building through the campus primary manhole and duct bank system. Loop B, tap 3-4 for AF and loop B, tap 2-3 for McCalmont.
2. Site Lighting: Campus pole mounted fixtures at sidewalks.
3. Site Communications and Security: Incoming service consists of multi-pair category 3 cable for voice and a coaxial cable for CATV both by the service provider. Incoming fiber optics consists of 18 strands of 62.5 multimode and 10 strands of single mode from North Hall.
BUILDING ANALYSIS
SUBSTRUCTURE
1. Foundations: Cast in place concrete footings and foundation walls. 4” drain tile around perimeter is indicated on original drawings.
Commentary: Foundation walls all appear sound.
SUPERSTRUCTURE
1. Floor Construction: 6” reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by exterior and interior cast in place concrete columns and spandrel beams.
Commentary: New penetrations through existing floor will likely require careful planning due to extent of reinforcement.
2. Roof Construction: 6” reinforced concrete flat slab supported by exterior and interior cast in place concrete columns and spandrel beams.
EXTERIOR ENCLOSURE
1. Exterior Walls: A&F -Original documents indicate a 10” wide exterior cavity wall consisting of 4” (nominal) brick on the exterior with 3/8” parging on the interior face of the brick and a 4” concrete masonry unit back-up.
Original documents also indicate “cores of concrete block back-up at exterior cavity walls are to be filled with granular insulating material”. A band of 1’-9” (scaled from drawing) cast stone is used as a transition to the roof edge at the top of the exterior wall.
Commentary: Based on the placement of the parging, it is assumed that the 4” brick was set first followed by the parging. Details also indicate that the brick is placed within 1” (scaled estimate) of the cast in place concrete spandrel beams at each level. It is not understood how parging could be placed on the backside of the brick in these conditions since the spandrel beams would be in place prior to the brick. It should also be noted that although there is not much core space in a 4” concrete block for insulation, the technique used to fill the top courses on each floor is unclear since the block is continuous from floor to floor at each level. It may be assumed that the top core on each level is not filled.
McCalmont - Original documents indicate a similar wall system as A&F except the placement of the parging is indicated on the exterior face of the CMU instead of the interior face of the brick.
2. Exterior Windows: A&F - Windows are single pane with clear anodized aluminum frames. Most windows include storm sashes.
Commentary: Window replacement is recommended to increase energy efficiency of the building.
McCalmont - Windows were replaced in 2008.

3. Exterior Doors: a) Primary Doors and Frames: Hollow metal frames with hollow metal doors. b) Secondary Doors and Frames: Same as Primary. c) Overhead Doors: None
Commentary: Exterior doors are damaged and worn. Recommend replacement of all exterior doors
and frames as a part of any major building upgrades.
3. Roofing: Original roofs were built-up. Most recent roof replacement at A&F took place in July 2007.
Replacement roof is an EPDM system.
Commentary: Documentation indicates that an A&F roofing project in 1982 included complete removal of the original built-up roof to the concrete deck. The 1982 project provided an EPDM system with tapered insulation. Available documentation does not indicate whether the 1982 roof system was removed during the 2007 reroofing. The current roof should not need replacement until 2027-2030 based on expected life for this type of roofing.
Documentation was not found for replacement information for McCalmont. The roof is indicated as being an EPDM system.
4. Roof Openings: A single 30” x 36” roof scuttle is located near the center of the southeast wing of A&F. The scuttle is accessed from a storage room on the top floor. A single scuttle is indicated at the west end of
McCalmont.

Panel located in the electrical room. Automatic detection and manual pull stations are provided. b. Security/Surveillance: In the main lobby there is one Closed Circuit Television camera near the main office. Access control is located on the interior vestibule door at the main entrance, the main office in the lobby and a secure office on the lower level.
McCalmont has access control at doors on fifth floor. c. Clock/Program Systems: N/A d. Voice and Data Systems: The main distribution frame (MDF) is located in Room 28 on the basement level. The MDF is the service entrance for voice, CATV and fiber. Equipment located in the MDF is rack and wall mounted. From the MDF 12 strands of multi-mode fiber is routed to
Room 39. From Room 39 one 25-pair copper cable and one RG-6 coax is distributed to a surface mounted cabinet located in each module on each floor. Each cabinet has a modular patch panel or 110 block, CATV splitter and switch for horizontal distribution. Category 5e/6 cable for voice and data is routed from each cabinet through 2” square PVC surface raceway tight to ceiling located in the corridor. Each resident room has two information outlet locations. One location has one data, one voice and one coax termination and the other has one voice and one data termination. From each information outlet a 3/4” conduit routes along wall and stubs to surface raceway in corridor.
McCalmont appears to be fed from AF and the telecom room is located on third floor horizontal distribution is the same as AF.
Commentary: The current condition appears to comply with the standards of category 5e cabling system. This system in its current state is acceptable. The pathways the system utilizes may not be ideal if the buildings are remodeled. These may cause conflicts with other trades and may not be aesthetically pleasing. If one building is remodeled and the cabling system is upgraded then the backbone infrastructure may not support the new cabling system within the building and may need to be upgraded as well.
Given the timeline for potential remodels and the advancements in technology, a new cabling system may not be relevant by the end of the schedule. Cabling for 10 years out may be the best option for the campus but could be costly since this technology and standards are fairly new. e. P.A. Systems: N/A f. T.V. Systems: Cable television is distributed from the service providers point of presence in the
MDF in the basement to a cabinet located in each module on each floor utilizing RG-6 coaxial cable. Within each cabinet the RG-6 terminates on a splitter and then one RG-6 is routed to each resident room through the surface raceway. g. Other Systems: Emergency call station is located in the vestibule of the main lobby and is tied to the campus system. A cashless vending system is put in place for laundry and vending machines. d) Other Electrical Systems:

McCalmont is served by the 480 volt generator located in Vocational Rehab. McCalmont contains a transfer switch. c. Power Conditioning/Surge Suppression: Surge suppression at main distribution in AF.
Surge suppression at main distribution in McCalmont.
Commentary: The existing electrical distribution equipment is still in good condition, but is original to the buildings. It appears the 5KV switches were more recent additions to the buildings. All the wiring is original to the buildings and should be replaced. All distribution equipment should be replaced to bring it up to the current models instead of the campus having to find replacement parts for obsolete models as they have failures. The medium voltage distribution system should be upgraded to a loop configuration instead of the current tapped configuration, which will require three new 5KV switches in each building. This change will likely require larger electrical rooms, possibly in different locations due to the requirement for two exits from those rooms. Additional panelboards should be planned for each floor to allow for 4 circuits in each resident room (one for each room’s long wall, one for a refrigerator, and one for a window air conditioner).
The fire alarm system panels have been replaced in the recent past (10-20 years). The notification requirements have increased since the buildings were originally built, so the panels should be replaced in order to provide for the increased requirements. The existing panels are in good condition.

SUMMARY/OVERVIEW
The original block of Curran, Kranzusch, and Tustison was constructed in 1966. Chinnock was added to this complex in 1969 along with a similar addition to the neighboring HKMC complex. No major additions or remodeling have occurred since 1969.
UTILITY AND SERVICE ANALYSIS
SITE CIVIL/MECHANICAL UTILITIES
1. Water Supply: 4”CI combined water supply extends from A & F Halls and enters in the middle of the north wall of Kranzusch Hall, city pressure is 90 PSI.
2. Sanitary Sewer: An 8”sanitary sewer exits the north wall of Kranzusch Hall, extends to a manhole and turns east to connect to the city sanitary sewer in 3 rd
Street. This sewer also serves Curran & Tustison Halls (all
1965). There is an additional 6” CI sanitary sewer leaving the SE corner of Oetting Hall (1969) flowing south to the city main in vacated 12 th
St east. Materials are cast iron & clay tile.
3. Storm Sewer: A 10” storm sewer exits the east wall near the NE corner of Kranzusch Hall, it extends to a manhole and turns NE to connect to the city storm sewer in 3 rd

BUILDING ANALYSIS
SUBSTRUCTURE
1. Foundations: Cast in place concrete footings and foundation walls. 4” drain tile around perimeter is indicated on original drawings.
Commentary: Foundation walls all appear sound.
SUPERSTRUCTURE
1. Floor Construction: 6” reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by exterior and interior cast in place concrete columns and spandrel beams.
Commentary: New penetrations through existing floor will likely require careful planning due to extent of reinforcement.
2. Roof Construction: 6” reinforced concrete flat slab supported by exterior and interior cast in place concrete columns and spandrel beams.
EXTERIOR ENCLOSURE
1. Exterior Walls: Original building documents indicate a 10” wide exterior cavity wall consisting of 4” (nominal) brick on the exterior with 3/8” parging on the interior face of the brick and a 4” concrete masonry unit back-up.
Original documents also indicate “cores of concrete block back-up at exterior cavity walls are to be filled with granular insulating material”. A band of 1’-9” (scaled from drawing) cast stone is used as a transition to the roof edge at the top of the exterior wall.
1966 Addition documents indicate an exterior wall similar to the original with the exception that the parging is placed on the concrete masonry units instead of the brick. Details of the addition indicate that 1” of rigid insulation was included only in the long dimension walls of the corner resident rooms (exterior walls that do not have radiant heat and will have resident beds adjacent). The drawings indicate that the cores of the 4” CMU backup in the other areas are filled with granular insulating material.
Commentary: Based on the placement of the parging in the original building, it is assumed that the 4” brick was set first followed by the parging. Original building details also indicate that the brick is placed within 1” (scaled estimate) of the cast in place concrete spandrel beams at each level. It is not understood how parging could be placed on the backside of the brick in these conditions since the spandrel beams would be in place prior to the brick. It should also be noted that although there is not much core space in a 4” concrete block for insulation, the technique used to fill the top courses on each floor is unclear since the block is continuous from floor to floor at each level. It may be assumed that the top core on each level is not filled or not filled completely.
2. Exterior Windows: Windows are single pane with clear anodized aluminum frames. Most windows include storm sashes.
Commentary: Window replacement is recommended to increase energy efficiency of the building

Commentary: Exterior doors are damaged and worn. Recommend replacement of all exterior doors and frames as a part of any major building upgrades.
4. Roofing: Original roof was built-up. Roof replacement projects were completed around 1983 and 2004.
Current roof is a ballasted, 45 mil. EPDM system.
•
.
Commentary: The 1983 project included complete removal of the original roof system to the down to the roof deck. The 1983 system included a base layer of 1/8” per foot tapered polystyrene insulation covered by the roof membrane. The roof membrane was covered with a layer of extruded polystyrene over which a layer of polypropylene fabric and ballast was placed. Documentation indicates that the roofing project in 2004 included 2” of polyisocyanurate insulation installed over the “existing insulation”. Based on the details included in the 2004 project, it is assumed that the “existing insulation was only the tapered base layer from 1983 and that everything above the 1983 base layer was removed. Based on the 2004 drawings, the current total insulation thickness likely ranges 3” with 5” thick with the top 2” being polyisocyanurate and the remainder molded polystyrene. The current roof should not need replacement until 2024-2027 based on expected life for this type of roofing.
5. Roof Openings: A single 30” x 36” roof scuttle is located near the center of the northeast wing. The scuttle is accessed from a storage room on the top floor.

A band of 1’-9” (scaled from drawing) cast stone is used as a transition to the roof edge at the top of the exterior wall.
1966 Addition documents indicate an exterior wall similar to the original with the exception that the parging is placed on the concrete masonry units instead of the brick. Details of the addition indicate that 1” of rigid insulation was included only in the long dimension walls of the corner resident rooms (exterior walls that do not have radiant heat and will have resident beds adjacent). The drawings indicate that the cores of the 4” CMU backup in the other areas are filled with granular insulating material.
Commentary: Based on the placement of the parging in the original building, it is assumed that the 4” brick was set first followed by the parging. Original building details also indicate that the brick is placed within 1” (scaled estimate) of the cast in place concrete spandrel beams at each level. It is not understood how parging could be placed on the backside of the brick in these conditions since the spandrel beams would be in place prior to the brick. It should also be noted that although there is not much core space in a 4” concrete block for insulation, the technique used to fill the top courses on each floor is unclear since the block is continuous from floor to floor at each level. It may be assumed that the top core on each level is not filled or not filled completely.
2. Exterior Windows: Windows are single pane with clear anodized aluminum frames. Most windows include storm sashes.
Commentary: Window replacement is recommended to increase energy efficiency of the building.
3. Exterior Doors: a) Primary Doors and Frames: Hollow metal frames with hollow metal doors. b) Secondary Doors and Frames: Same as Primary. c) Overhead Doors: None
Commentary: Exterior doors are damaged and worn. Recommend replacement of all exterior doors and frames as a part of any major building upgrades.

5. Electrical a) Electrical Service and Distribution: a. Service:
1) Size: 112.5 KVA 4160:208/120 volt 3 phase transformer with a 400 amp main distribution panel.
2) Peak Demand: 22.4 KW per the meter. b. Interior Distribution: Feeders from the main distribution panel to branch panels in the building.
Resident floor panels are served by common risers as opposed to individual feeders. Fire alarm and emergency lighting are likely tapped ahead of the main distribution panel’s main based on the panel and conduit configuration. This was a common way to provide “emergency” power when the building was built. It does not provide any backup, but helps keep those systems operational if the main distribution panel’s main breaker would trip. c. Transformers: None other than the dry type service transformer. d. Panelboards: Panelboards per floor to serve resident rooms. e. Motor Control Centers: None. Motor controls are all individually mounted. b) Lighting and Branch Wiring: a. Branch Circuits: Circuits are fed from the panelboard in their given area. GFCI receptacles are installed in the common bathrooms and kitchens. b. Interior Lighting: Primarily fluorescent. c. Lighting Controls: Corridors are manually switched. Occupancy sensors in most common areas. d. Exterior Building Lighting: HID. e. Emergency/Exit Lighting: No battery backup. Appeared to be somewhat newer compact fluorescent in most areas with the older incandescent or compact fluorescent in the remaining areas. The medium voltage electrical room contains a wall mounted emergency lighting unit with integral battery backup. c) Communications and Security: a. Fire Alarm: Notifier zoned system with voice notification. Panel located in main lobby vestibule.
Automatic detection and manual pull stations are provided. b. Security/Surveillance: In the main lobby there is one Closed Circuit Television camera near the main office. Access control is located on the interior vestibule door at the main entrance, the main office in the lobby and a secure office on the lower level. c. Clock/Program Systems: N/A d. Voice and Data Systems: The main distribution frame (MDF) is located in the basement level. The
MDF is the service entrance for voice, CATV and fiber. Equipment located in the MDF is rack and wall mounted. From the MDF one 25-pair copper cable and one RG-6 coax is distributed to
SDS Architects, Inc.

junction box in a janitor’s closet on each floor. Each junction box has a 110 block and CATV splitter for horizontal distribution. Category 5e cable for voice and data is routed from each janitors closet through 1” x 4” PVC surface raceway tight to ceiling located on each side of the corridor.
Each resident room has two information outlet locations. One location has one data, one voice and one coax termination and the other has one voice and one data termination. From each information outlet a 1” surface raceway routes along wall and stubs to surface raceway in corridor.
Commentary: The current condition appears to comply with the standards of category 5e cabling system. This system in its current state is acceptable. The pathways the system utilizes may not be ideal if the buildings are remodeled. These may cause conflicts with other trades and may not be aesthetically pleasing. If one building is remodeled and the cabling system is upgraded then the backbone infrastructure may not support the new cabling system within the building and may need to be upgraded as well.
Given the timeline for potential remodels and the advancements in technology, a new cabling system may not be relevant by the end of the schedule. Cabling for 10 years out may be the best option for the campus but could be costly since this technology and standards are fairly new. e. P.A. Systems: N/A f. T.V. Systems:
Cable television is distributed from the service providers point of presence in the MDF in the basement to a junction box located in a janitors closet on each floor utilizing RG-6 coaxial cable.
Within each junction box the RG-6 terminates on a splitter and then one RG-6 is routed to each resident room through the surface raceway. g. Other Systems: Emergency call station is located in the vestibule of the main lobby and is tied to the campus system. A cashless vending system is put in place for laundry and vending machines. d) Other Electrical Systems: a. UPS Systems: None. b. Engine Generator: None. c. Power Conditioning/Surge Suppression: Surge suppression at main distribution.
Commentary: The existing electrical distribution equipment is still in good condition, but is original to the buildings. It appears the 5KV switches were more recent additions to the buildings. All the wiring is original to the buildings and should be replaced. All distribution equipment should be replaced to bring it up to the current models instead of the campus having to find replacement parts for obsolete models as they have failures. The medium voltage distribution system should be upgraded to a loop configuration instead of the current tapped configuration, which will require three new 5KV switches in each building. This change will likely require larger electrical rooms, possibly in different locations due to the requirement for two exits from those rooms. Additional panelboards should be planned for each floor to allow for 4 circuits in each resident room (one for each room’s long wall, one for a refrigerator, and one for a window air conditioner).
The fire alarm system panels have been replaced in the recent past (10-20 years). The notification requirements have increased since the buildings were originally built, so the panels should be replaced in order to provide for the increased requirements. The existing panels are in good condition.

lighting is likely tapped ahead of the main distribution panel’s main based on the panel and conduit configuration. This was a common way to provide “emergency” power when the building was built. It does not provide any backup, but helps keep those systems operational if the main distribution panel’s main breaker would trip. c. Transformers: None other than the dry type service transformer. d. Panelboards: Panelboards per floor to serve resident rooms. e. Motor Control Centers: None. Motor controls are all individually mounted. b) Lighting and Branch Wiring: a. Branch Circuits: Circuits are fed from the panelboard in their given area. b. Interior Lighting: Primarily fluorescent. Basement has newer 2x4 grid mounted troffers. c. Lighting Controls: Corridors are manually switched. Occupancy sensors in most common areas. d. Exterior Building Lighting: HID. e. Emergency/Exit Lighting: No battery backup. Lighting appeared to be somewhat newer compact fluorescent in most areas with the older incandescent or compact fluorescent in the remaining areas. The medium voltage electrical room contains a wall mounted emergency lighting unit with integral battery backup. c) Communications and Security: a. Fire Alarm: Notifier addressable system with voice notification. Panel located in main lobby.
Automatic detection and manual pull stations are provided. Stand alone smoke detectors in the resident rooms. b. Security/Surveillance: In the main lobby there is one Closed Circuit Television camera near the main office. Access control is located on the interior vestibule door at the main entrance, the main office in the lobby and a secure office on the lower level. c. Clock/Program Systems: N/A d. Voice and Data Systems: The main distribution frame (MDF) is located in Room 40 on the basement level. Room 6 is the service entrance for voice, CATV and fiber and fiber optic cabling is distributed to all other buildings from this room. Twelve strands of multi-mode fiber routes from
Room 6 to Room 40. Equipment located in the MDF is rack and wall mounted. From the MDF one 25-pair copper cable and one RG-6 coax is distributed to a surface mounted cabinet located in each module on each floor. Each cabinet has a 110/66 block, CATV splitter and switch for horizontal distribution. Category 5 cable for voice and category 5e cable for data is routed from each cabinet through 2” square PVC surface raceway tight to ceiling located in the corridor. Each resident room has one information outlet consisting of one data, one voice and one coax termination. From each information outlet a 3/4” conduit routes along wall and stubs to surface raceway in corridor. Wireless access is limited to the lounge area.
Commentary: The current condition appears to comply with the standards of category 5e cabling system. This system in its current state is acceptable. The pathways the system utilizes may not be ideal if the buildings are remodeled. These may cause conflicts with other trades and may not be aesthetically pleasing. If one building is remodeled and the cabling system is upgraded then the backbone infrastructure may not support the new cabling system within the building and may need to be upgraded as well.
Given the timeline for potential remodels and the advancements in technology, a new cabling system may not be relevant by the end of the schedule. Cabling for 10 years out may be the best option for the campus but could be costly since this technology and standards are fairly new.

e. P.A. Systems: N/A f. T.V. Systems: Cable television is distributed from the service providers point of presence in the
MDF in the basement to a cabinet located in each module on each floor utilizing RG-6 coaxial cable. Within each cabinet the RG-6 terminates on a splitter and then one RG-6 is routed to each resident room through the surface raceway. g. Other Systems: Emergency call station is located in the vestibule of the main lobby and is tied to the campus system. A cashless vending system is put in place for laundry and vending machines. d) Other Electrical Systems: a. UPS Systems: None. b. Engine Generator: None. c. Power Conditioning/Surge Suppression: Surge suppression at main distribution.
Commentary: The existing electrical distribution equipment is still in good condition, but is original to the buildings. It appears the 5KV switches were more recent additions to the buildings. All the wiring is original to the buildings and should be replaced. All distribution equipment should be replaced to bring it up to the current models instead of the campus having to find replacement parts for obsolete models as they have failures. The medium voltage distribution system should be upgraded to a loop configuration instead of the current tapped configuration, which will require three new 5KV switches in each building. This change will likely require larger electrical rooms, possibly in different locations due to the requirement for two exits from those rooms. Additional panelboards should be planned for each floor to allow for 4 circuits in each resident room (one for each room’s long wall, one for a refrigerator, and one for a window air conditioner).
The fire alarm system panels have been replaced in the recent past (10-20 years). The notification requirements have increased since the buildings were originally built, so the panels should be replaced in order to provide for the increased requirements. The existing panels are in good condition.

BUILDING ANALYSIS
SUBSTRUCTURE
1. Foundations: Cast in place concrete footings and foundation walls.
SDS Architects, Inc.
Page 1
Commentary: Foundation walls all appear sound.
SUPERSTRUCTURE
1. Floor Construction: 7” reinforced concrete flat slabs supported by exterior and interior cast in place concrete columns and spandrel beams.
Commentary: New penetrations through existing floor will likely require careful planning due to extent of reinforcement.
2. Roof Construction: 7” reinforced concrete flat slab supported by exterior and interior cast in place concrete columns and spandrel beams. Isolated areas are constructed with sloped cast in place concrete.
EXTERIOR ENCLOSURE
1. Exterior Walls: Original documents indicate a 12” wide exterior cavity wall consisting of 4” (nominal) brick on the exterior and 8” concrete masonry unit back-up. Parging is indicated on the cavity side of the concrete masonry units. Original documents do not indicate insulation in the cavity or CMU cores. A band of 2’-0” wide cast stone is used as a transition to the roof edge at the top of the exterior wall and another 1-’4” band is used at the base of the building.
Commentary: Most of the foundation walls below the 12” masonry cavity walls are 10 9/16” thick. In most cases, the brick and stone veneer is supported by steel angles attached to the foundation wall and is not supported directly by the concrete foundation wall. Although there is no indication that there is insulation in the walls, it is possible that insulation is included in the cores of the 8” CMU backup as was done in similar buildings of this time period on Campus.
2. Exterior Windows:
Windows are single pane with clear anodized aluminum frames. Most windows include storm sashes.
Commentary: Window replacement is recommended to increase energy efficiency of the building.
3. Exterior Doors:
Primary Doors and Frames: Hollow metal frames with hollow metal doors.
Secondary Doors and Frames: Same as Primary.
Overhead Doors: None
Commentary: Exterior doors are damaged and worn. Recommend replacement of all exterior doors and frames as a part of any major building upgrades.
4. Roofing:
Original roof was built-up with metal roofing on isolated areas (links and stairwells). Most recent roof replacements took place in June 1993. Replacement roof is an EPDM system.
Commentary: Documentation of the most current roof replacement were not found on Campus.
Plans for the 1983 replacement were available and indicated a complete removal of the original roof system as part of the replacement. The 1983 roof was a built up roofing system. Roofing replacement will likely be needed around 2023-2026 based on the expected life of the existing system.
5. Roof Openings:
A single 30” x 36” roof scuttle is located in each cube (3 total) with access from the Custodian Room.

Cabling for 10 years out may be the best option for the campus but could be costly since this technology and standards are fairly new. e. P.A. Systems: N/A f. T.V. Systems: Cable television is distributed from the service providers point of presence in the
MDF in the basement to a junction box located in a janitors closet on each floor utilizing RG-6 coaxial cable. Within each junction box the RG-6 terminates on a splitter and then one RG-6 is routed to each resident room through the surface raceway. g. Other Systems: Emergency call station is located in the vestibule of the main lobby and is tied to the campus system. A cashless vending system is put in place for laundry and vending machines. d) Other Electrical Systems: a. UPS Systems: None. b. Engine Generator: None. c. Power Conditioning/Surge Suppression: Surge suppression at main distribution.

Commentary: The existing electrical distribution equipment is still in good condition, but is original to the buildings. It appears the 5KV switches were more recent additions to the buildings. All the wiring is original to the buildings and should be replaced. All distribution equipment should be replaced to bring it up to the current models instead of the campus having to find replacement parts for obsolete models as they have failures. The medium voltage distribution system should be upgraded to a loop configuration instead of the current tapped configuration, which will require three new 5KV switches in each building. This change will likely require larger electrical rooms, possibly in different locations due to the requirement for two exits from those rooms. Additional panelboards should be planned for each floor to allow for 4 circuits in each resident room (one for each room’s long wall, one for a refrigerator, and one for a window air conditioner).
The fire alarm system panels have been replaced in the recent past (10-20 years). The notification requirements have increased since the buildings were originally built, so the panels should be replaced in order to provide for the increased requirements. The existing panels are in good condition.

The purpose of this meeting was to seek input from Residence Life and Physical Plant regarding the conditions and priorities for the proposed improvements at the residence halls included in this study.
The following matters were discussed.
1. In general, the plumbing, electrical, HVAC and fire alarm systems will need to be replaced completely and the study should assume complete removal and replacement of all these systems.
2. It was noted that the fire alarm system in some areas was upgraded 13 years ago but by the time these projects are undertaken, many of them will likely be replaced anyway.
3. All door operators need to be replaced.
4. A few pumps have been replaced but these are inconsequential in the whole scheme of things.
5. McCalmont, CKTO and South seem to be the worst in terms of the infrastructure plumbing, mechanical and electrical according to the Campus.
6. Fleming had new fans put in about three years ago.
7. Fleming has very leaky windows and there are water problems in the building on the north side around the shower areas between floors 2 and 3.
8. Buildings with the worst windows are Fleming, North and South Hall.
9. North and South Halls have some pretty significant plumbing issues.
10. More effort has been made in the past to make North Hall more handicap accessible, including remodeling of all the toilet room/shower areas.
11. Questioned if elevators should automatically be included for all of these projects. Campus’ approach to this is that elevators should only be included if they are required by code, UWS, or the DSF.
It was noted that in some of the cube buildings such as HK and MC, the project would require multiple elevators since the link between some of the cubes is only single story.
12. There are water line issues at AF, CKTO.
13. The single generator in this area serves multiple buildings. Physical Plant would like each building to have its own services. This would apply to all utilities.
The Campus is currently undertaking a generator project this summer for North and South Hall, one generator for each. o The North generator will likely be sized to allow the elevator to be on emergency power. o The elevator for South Hall likely will not be sized to accommodate an elevator for emergency power.
14. Noted that AF, HKMC are the most modern in terms of cosmetic upgrades.

15. Questioned whether a sprinkler system should be included in each of the buildings as part of a major upgrade. SDS is to check with DSF on this, as well as the elevator requirement. If they are required, they should be done similar to the
Hovlid Hall project recently designed on the Stout campus.
16. Questioned if the Campus will require air conditioning as part of this project. The Campus would like to consider air conditioning as a possibility. Would like to use the current Campus chilled water loop which is currently being extended.
This would only apply to the South campus residence halls. The chilled water loop will not be extended to the North campus.
17. Questioned if the Campus anticipates major basement reprogramming/remodeling as part of this project since the area will be disrupted with a lot of the utility work that will be anticipated in this area. Campus will likely be remodeling basement areas as part of the project. Noted that some of the areas such as kitchens and lounges have been recently updated and they would like to avoid having to disturb and re-do these areas if possible.
18. Gas water heater for AF is desired by Campus.
19. It should be assumed that all interior and exterior doors and hardware will be replaced with this project.
20. The project should not assume remodeling of the front desk area unless it is required by other projects, such as to solve code compliance issues. The Directors apartments should be considered the same way. The Campus is doing these projects individually as separate projects outside of this study.
21. Joe Limke with KJWW will talk directly to Grady Richardz on campus regarding technology expectations.
22. It is noted that all rooms are doubles and will remain doubles after any remodeling project is done. The Campus would like to avoid losing any rooms with projects, or as few as possible.
23. The electrical proposed for each of the residence rooms should be similar to that done at the recent Hovlid Hall project.
24. The project study should include a refresh for all resident rooms that includes carpet, paint, etc. It was noted that North,
South, and CKTO are in need of the cosmetic upgrades the most. AF and Wigen have the lowest priority for cosmetics.
25. McCalmont is currently being used as follows:
Fifth floor is a residence hall.
Half of second floor and all of third and fourth are used as offices.
First floor and half of second are used for Voc Rehab. Voc Rehab has some residence use and also training areas.
26. This study should include reconfiguration of all toilet/shower rooms. These should be done with a model similar to that done at the recently completed Hovlid Hall project.
27. Campus expects for the future to have McCalmont third, fourth and fifth floors available for housing. The third and fourth floor may be used for swing space during remodeling of the various residence halls.
28. McCalmont Hall should be treated like any of the other buildings with regard to replacement of infrastructure and upgrades.
29. It is noted that there are no current major issues with any of the roofs or tuckpointing.
30. Caulking of the control joints on the exterior will be needed for most of the buildings.
31. In the future, some lower level space will need to be set up for temporary resident rooms. This is important when considering hardware, ventilation, technology and egress.
32. McCalmont lounges on floors three through five should be considered for overflow resident use and may need to be converted back and forth from resident rooms to lounges during peak times of occupation.
33. Noted there is very little, if any, insulation in most of the exterior walls. Asked if the Campus wants to consider the cost implications of insulating these exterior walls. This should be looked at in a preliminary fashion only at this time.
34. Campus would like to have information that will allow them to decide if they can take part of a four block cube off line. For example, can CK be taken off line at CK, TO without affecting the other two parts?
The key here is that each cube is about 120 students and the Campus cannot take down any more than 240 beds at one given time for remodeling projects.
Part of this will depend on McCalmont area being available for swing space.
35. Questioned if Campus can lose a basement only for part of a season while occupants are still in the building? Campus would rather not do this, as a lot of the functions, such as laundry, are located in the basement space and noise will also be a concern.
36. Generally the construction season for the summer is May 20 th
to August 15 th
. It is ok if the utilities are down for an entire summer in a building during remodeling even if some of these areas are not being remodeled. For example, if MC is being remodeled and HK and MC are without utilities for a summer, this is acceptable with the Campus.
37. The overall goal of this project is to have all of these projects done in a 10 to 12 year period. The projects should be budgeted accordingly with an escalation cost built into the phasing.
38. A larger medium voltage room in the basement is needed.
39. Campus has been surveyed and the Hovlid model for toilet room remodeling, both Men’s and Women’s, is preferred by the students. This would be one toilet room per floor for one sex.
40. Campus would like to see options regarding how the toilet rooms are carried out. Campus has preliminarily discussed two primary options for modifying the buildings.
An example would be converting the center of a cube toilet rooms and lounge space, the stair areas could be built on the outside of the building to provide exiting and also to dress up the outside of the building.

Another option would be to convert the center core of the cube into a lounge space with stairs and provide an addition on the building for the toilet/shower areas.
41. Access to stairs and elevators is an issue on the first floor. People entering the single story area need to travel through the first floor to get to the more distant wings, this is always a concern.
42. Projects should also consider some exterior image improvements too. For example, if additions are put on, they might reflect more of an open glass look similar to Red Cedar Hall.
43. Site work:
There will be some steam/chilled water site work.
There will also be some site work necessary for electrical and signal modifications.
Water service for fire protection will require site work.
44. Discussed the CKTO generator. Natural gas was discussed. This will need to be considered carefully, as if elevators are needed for a means of egress, it may drive the size of the generator up to a size that is more sensible to use diesel fuel.
45. Discussed dumpsters. North Hall trash area may be an area for improvement.
46. Discussed security/card access. Use the same criteria used at the Hovlid project.
47. It was noted that mail boxes will remain at the Commons area, except for Wigen Hall.
48. Rough-ins should be done on all exterior doors if they are replaced for future card access.
49. Residence Halls generally should be set up for emergency use during major disasters as a place of refuge.

1. Remodeling/Additions Options: Determined that Option A with a new toilet/shower room addition for each pod would be the preferred option. It would include two showers and two to three water closets per floor. In addition, requested one unisex toilet which would be handicapped accessible and have a shower similar to Hovlid. One per each cube or at least one per each floor counting all the areas together. Also, less bed loss with Option A.
2. Explain better what we mean by “Hovlid” when we are using as benchmark for comparison because not everyone knows what is planned for Hovlid.
3. Discussed opening up the core area of the various cubes, typically with a kitchenette as much glass as is possible, study area, counter, refrigerator and stove vented. There was some discussion about maybe relocating the new toilets to be adjacent to the lounges on HKMC and CKTO, will consider.
4. Confirmed that 240 was the maximum of beds that could be lost during any point in time and that is only for the spring term. They can’t take any beds out in the fall so the proposed winter/summer and summer/winter schedules will not work and the winter/winter is the only one that allows them to do what they need to do and keep the fall term in complete residential units. It is ok that overall schedule is longer with this schedule model as Campus won’t have enough money to pay for the whole process in seven years. Having beds come back on line in January doesn’t do anything for Campus
5. Some other items that were in general discussion is with the winter/winter schedule perhaps looking at adding the new construction, toilet rooms, everything that is happening outside during the first phase, if that would help move the schedule up. It was also discussed maybe doing the leftover one-third of North at the same time as the leftover one-third of South. It was pointed out that North has the worst technology within it even though it is the IT hub for the area. SDS needs to verify with Grady if that is the way the IT situation is going to remain but North will need to have new interior technology wiring but that may happen as a separate project not in this contract that the Campus will do.

6. Fleming and Wigen were next on the Campus’ own internal schedule. Fleming is in the worst shape and as soon as
Hovlid is done, it will be connected to the newest. Wigen newest on Campus.
7. The North campus could be split in terms of its schedule. Fleming and Wigen would not necessarily have to happen at the same time. It was undecided as to what McCalmont could do. Campus may consider use as housing eventually, exactly when needs to be determined by Campus.
8. Would it be possible for North or South to be done in total on a January to August time period. Decided that this should be possible if needed.
9. Considered Three Scenarios: a. Scenario A - Keeping JTC on line during Fleming remodel will be considered by Campus. May be related steam line capacity issue that may require $500K to rectify. JTC would remain open until into 2012 with 240 beds. Allows design in 2010 and then construction in 2011 and 2012 for Fleming and Wigen using the summer/winter model. The idea is that with some of the money that they have available, $6 million or so could go into Fleming and that could take care of everything on our scope list except for air conditioning for
Fleming. That would include fire protection, data, electrical, toilets, windows, HVAC generator, elevators might be deferred and then generally fixing up the rooms. Wigen would just be a minimum effort during this initial phase with just toilets and new windows. Wigen would then be finished up as the very last phase in the overall schedule of things. Fleming and Wigen would happen first and then start with CKTO and the rest of the South Campus halls. b. Scenario B - Building new cube adds on to North and South to allow swing space/eventual removal of one older hall. Each about 120 beds, or perhaps a two-cube unit between North and Price Commons keeping in mind that the Campus would prefer to manage two residence hall buildings at once and no more than that.
Presently North and South have three and those are problematic. c. Scenario C - Build new hall first to allow larger bed loss/speedier phasing/reduced escalation cost.
10. Funding to support the last two scenarios is unlikely.
11. With respect to Scenario A, the Campus has a $2 million place holder in the 2009-11 biennium for Fleming and Wigen and it is possible that amount could be changed but at least it is in place for somebody to look at.
12. Another general comment was the idea of eliminating the little first floor basement stairways (ie: HKMC) that pose problems with exiting in the winter and that sort of thing.
13. We discussed schedule for the remainder of this study and that we would send them a draft around the end of May or before and then a final report and presentation would happen in June.
