Project Description:
The new Science & Allied Health Building at Skagit Valley College provides 64,000-sf
of modern teaching laboratories and classrooms supporting educational programs in the
physical sciences, environmental science, nursing and medical assistant training.
Additionally the project provides 5,000-sf of interactive distance-learning classrooms as
part of the NSIS program.
Scope changes:
Since completion of Phase-I and occupancy of the main portion of the project the only
change in scope has been the inclusion of the Biology Greenhouse.
This program element was a key part of the original funding request but was deleted from
the original bid in order to reserve adequate contingencies.

Project Status and discussion of Critical Path for Construction:
The project was delayed after completion of the Phase-II demolition and final close-out
to permit design and bidding of the replacement instructional greenhouse.
The greenhouse is currently being erected and will be complete to enable classes to
operate in the space in the Fall Quarter.

Potential for Project Cost Overruns/Claims
With only completion of the greenhouse remaining we do not anticipate any cost
overruns. All changes have been fairly negotiated and there are no known or anticipated
claims.
Discussion of Project Quality
This building is considered a very high profile project for Skagit Valley College not only
due to its prominent location at the campus “front door” but also from its role in
providing a modern student-focused high-technology learning environment. The quality
of this facility anticipated by the college and defined in the contract documents was
obtained through the contractor. Comments by students, faculty and campus visitors
have been uniformly positive on the quality of the project.
