Project Title: Anderson Hall Replacement
Bill Reference: 488-05-809
Project Description:
The new Wenatchi Hall will replace Anderson Hall with a new facility that has over
80,000 gross square feet of teaching and learning space. This has become the home
for our allied health programs that consist of nursing, radiation technology, medical
laboratory technology, chemical dependency studies, medical assistant, nursing
assistant, fire science, and emergency medical technician (EMT). We also included
space for biology, mathematics, student services, and administration.
This project was consistent with the Wenatchee Valley College master plan and is
critical for delivering the strategic mission of the college. We started the pre-design
process through a locally funded capital campaign in 2002 so that we could request
design and construction funds in the ensuing biennia. Our project MACC was
established at $13,868,000, but due to a variety of issues at bid time the low bid was
at $15,365,000. Through value engineering and other cost reduction strategies we
were confident that we would be able to complete the building without reducing
square footage or programs, and still achieve the level of design quality we have
selected and were successful in that endeavor.

Project Status and Discussion of Critical Path for Construction:
On June 8th Wenatchi hall was substantially complete.
On July 13th Wenatchi hall received its occupancy permit. After furniture delivery
and installation we moved into the building the first few weeks of August. After a
few grand opening celebrations the first of September we were ready for classes at
the end of September. The commissioning process worked well indetifying areas
that needed work but as a whole the project was constructed well with quality as a
focus.

Discussion of Project Quality
Over the past three years we have elevated the design quality and look of our campus
construction projects, bringing the standard to a 50-year benchmark using timetested materials and processes. This includes using concrete, steel, and brick to
enhance the look and feel of the campus and create a collegiate learning environment.
Our consultants were selected with that standard in mind and have performed a
variety of construction projects around the state that have withstood the test of time.
Our design standards are becoming evident upon touring our facilities, from the brick
selections, color pallets, DDC control systems, and door hardware. We selected a
commissioning agent for the project who was hired during design to ensure that the
building will function the way it was designed. They ensured that the systems function
as designed while working directly with the contractor. We also had an independent
testing firm who checked the quality of work. Though we did not pursue a LEED
silver designation, the standard was used during design and sustainability was a
requirement placed upon our consultants.
