Project Title: Building 7 Renovation
Bill Reference: 520-07-5185
Project Description: Renovation of the North section (20,000 gross square feet) of the Pearl
Wanamaker Building 7, a 67,000 square foot building constructed in 1966. The renovation will
improve space efficiencies and increase student access to technology. The renovation will effectively
respond to accreditation issues. Building HVAC systems will be replaced or refurbished, electrical
systems will be upgraded and expanded. Seismic resistance will be upgraded to current code
requirements, life safety systems will be upgraded and the building envelope will be upgraded. This
renovation phase will not include the entire building due to cost restraints, but will address the most
critical needs of approximately 20,000 square feet. The building is looked at by the City of Tacoma as
three buildings. The remaining 47,000 square feet is viewed as two separate buildings. It is planned to
ask for funding to upgrade the middle portion of the building and to eventually demolish the third
section of the building.

Project Status and discussion of Critical Path for Construction:
Pease Construction was awarded the contract and the construction began July 27, 2006. The North
section of the renovation project reached substantial completion mid May, 2007 and occupants moved
in shortly thereafter. A smaller portion of the building on the west side was added to the project to
meet programmatic needs and was completed by September 12, 2007. The exterior of the building, on
the west and north sides, was also renovated to improve lighting and the appearance of the building.
This was completed at the end of July 2007. There is also an entry and landscape improvement
planned to complement this project that was completed in early September, 2007. The landscape
portion of the project is primarily funded through local dollars and a small amount of minor
improvement funding.

not anticipated. The project has gone well and the contractor has been very reasonable and responsible.
Discussion of Project Quality
The quality of design and construction for this project was to build to a 50 year design standard. The
design will add flexibility to the building in order to allow for future economical spatial, technical, and
educational room arrangements.
