Project Description:
Renovate and expand the Music Building to consolidate all of the music programs into a
single building, create appropriate sizes and layout of program space, and focus on energy
conservation by updating the HVAC system, replacing single pane windows with double pane
windows, and insulating the building. The former Fort George Wright Stockade (Music Annex
#12) was demolished and removed from the college inventory.
This project involved different aspects of renovating a building. Some areas of the
building were demolished and redesigned to be more efficient, for example the office area. Some
areas were reclaimed and used as originally intended – storage areas, dressing rooms, and other
support areas. Some areas were not redesigned, but were updated with new mechanical and
electrical systems and insulated - the choir room, band room, and auditorium. Other areas were
expanded - the lobby and a new addition for a studio, classrooms, and offices were added so all
the music classes are now in one building. This renovation greatly improved and created a more
functional and efficient building.

Potential for Project Cost Overruns/Claims
As with all renovation projects, this had the potential for cost overruns due to unforeseen
existing conditions. We felt confident, however, that we had built the appropriate percentage of
contingency for renovation into the project to cover the majority of common change order issues.
Some of the unforeseen conditions encountered include: asbestos containing materials buried as part
of the old army fort, invert elevations on the existing sewer that were not as shown on the as-builts,
lead containing paint on the exterior of the building, a main water line that had to be shored to
prevent collapse during the excavation, footing, and foundation phase, and unknown duct banks
traversing the site. All of these issues resulted in change orders and delay claims from the
contractor, all of which have been settled.

Discussion of Project Quality
The design firm, Integrus Architecture of Spokane, Washington, was also the architectural
firm that completed the pre-design for the building, so they are very familiar with the programs and
space requirements. Community Colleges of Spokane has enjoyed a successful relationship with
Integrus over several years and projects. Quality had always been one of the hallmarks of this firm.
The contractor, BN Builders, is from out of the area, but has maintained a level of
professionalism and quality that we have come to expect from all of our contractors.
