1. Project Description:
This project will renovate Dobson Hall, a 1964 four story plus basement residence hall, (37,859 ASF
/66,280 GSF) and Melcher Hall, a 1965 four story plus basement residence hall, (31,093 ASF/
55,905 GSF).
The project will shift the toilet-shower rooms in Dobson Hall to better align the building circulation
and create open lounge space near the center of the floor. This design will take two resident rooms
off-line in order to create ADA accessible shower space. Two lounges will then be converted into
resident rooms so the bed count will not be reduces. In Dobson, the toilet-shower rooms will
undergo a major renovation to the plumbing systems.
The project will also replace both buildings’ mechanical systems with A/C in the basement of
Dobson only. Electrical to be upgraded and the emergency power to support life safety will be
provided by utilizing the existing generator at Porter Hall. Sprinkler systems are to be added to both
buildings. Common spaces to be reconfigured to accommodate current program requirements,
upgrade finishes throughout, and reconcile code and accessibility non-compliant conditions by
replacing entrance doors and adding a new elevator in Dobson Hall; and adding a stair shaft in
Melcher. The project will follow DFD sustainability standards.

1. Special Design and Planning Issues
A. Site Conditions
Melcher and Dobson Halls are adjacent building located in the central campus.
The site offers convenient vehicular access to Dobson Hall thus making Dobson
a viable candidate for a fully accessible Resident Hall within central campus.
At Melcher Hall, modest re-grading at the main entrance will improve site surface
drainage conditions.
Topography
The site is rolling and the existing sidewalk patterns will remain unchanged.
B. Zoning: No zoning modification is intended.
C. Utility Services
New 8” water mains will replace existing connections.
D. Historic preservation
Not Applicable
E. Environmental impact
The UW Platteville has classified this as a Type 3 project requiring neither an
Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental impact statement.
F. Other legal / regulator or unresolved issues
Two variance regarding ADA applicability will be sought from Department of
Commerce.
G. Schedule Issues
Both building renovation will occur during the 87 days between the end of the
academic year and the beginning of the following year. The following strategies
are developed to accommodate the short construction schedule:
• ACM Abatement will occur during winter break.
• Basement selective demolition will occur during Spring break.
• At the end of heating season the mechanical equipment in the basement
will be demolished.
• Elevator and stair shafts construction will begin in March 2013.
• The projects are designed with significant casework components to allow
for their advanced manufacturing.

Distribution – Emergency Power
1. Service
a. 208y/120V, 3 phase, 4 wire emergency power is provided from panelboard
E in Porter Hall. A 70A-3P breaker is installed within Porter Hall’s
panelboard E. Modifications to the underground service feeder or the
feeder breaker is not anticipated.
b. The intent of panelboard E (Porter) and EA (Melcher) is to provide
generator power to emergency loads, NEC 700. At present, both
emergency and optional standby loads are connected to the panelboards.
Any non-emergency loads in Melcher Hall will be removed from
panelboard EA. No provisions are being made to supply generator power
to optional standby loads and therefore those circuits which are removed
from panelboard EA will be re-circuited to the nearest normal power
branch circuit panelboard.
c. It is unlikely that the 20A-1P branch breaker installed in panelboard EA
will coordinate with the upstream 50A-3P MCB in panelboard EA, the 70A3P feeder breaker in panelboard E and the 100A-3P circuit breaker
installed within the Porter Hall Generator. The generator breaker type
requires further investigation and fusible panelboards may be explored to
achieve coordination. There appears to be a condition where a branch
circuit fault in Melcher could open the generator MCB and de-energize
emergency power to both Porter, Melcher, Dobson and future Morrow
Halls.
d. Panelboard EA serving emergency loads will remain installed within the
same room as the normal power distribution equipment.

30% 20%
Regulated energy systems include HVAC (heating, cooling, fans and pumps), service hot water and interior
lighting. Non-regulated systems include plugloads, exterior lighting, garage ventilation and elevators
(vertical transportation). Two methods may be used to separate energy consumption for regulated
systems. The energy consumption for each fuel may be prorated according to the fraction of energy used
by regulated and non-regulated energy. Alternatively, separate meters (accounting) may be created in the
energy simulation program for regulated and non-regulated energy uses. If an analysis has been made
comparing the proposed design to local energy standards and a defensible equivalency (at minimum) to
ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004 has been established, then the comparison against the local code may
be used in lieu of the ASHRAE Standard.
Strategy: determining current requirements.

Provide for the building occupants a connection between indoor spaces and the outdoors through the
introduction of daylight and views into the regularly occupied areas of the building.
Requirements
Comply with DFD’s "Daylighting Standards for State Facilities".

Strategy: The project scope utilizes existing building envelope including windows within resident rooms
and in basements. The common areas will incorporate additional curtain wall systems at entrances,
lobbies and student lounges.

Not applicable, existing building envelope and windows.
D. Building Energy Modeling
Not applicable as existing building.
E. Renewable Energy Sources
Solar domestic water heating was investigated but demonstrated cost effective
for this project.
F. Life Cycle Cost Analysis Summary
1. The use of solar domestic water heating was analyzed for potential use on
this project using the DSF discounted energy payback form. The analysis
found that this option has a discounted payback exceeding 50 years. Given
the payback exceeded 15 years and the life of the proposed system, this
option has not been implemented.
2. The use of energy recovery wheels for the toilet exhaust systems for both
Melcher and Dobson halls was evaluated using the DSF discounted energy
payback form. This analysis resulted in a discounted payback of 9.5 years
for Melcher Hall and 14.3 years for Dobson Hall. Since the paybacks were
less than 15 years, the design team was directed to implement the energy
recovery wheels.
