Sciences Buildings Renovation/Phase II

This project will renovate 36,000 ASF of the functionally obsolete instructional spaces in the # 7- Biological Sciences, # 8 - Physical Sciences buildings, and 5,800 ASF of the # 6 -  Animal/Greenhouse Complex. It will upgrade the building systems to meet current building code requirements and contemporary laboratory design guidelines. The space vacated by the chemistry department will be occupied by the health science department, which is currently housed in the health and P.E. addition and in temporary modular units. The vacated health and P.E. addition space will return to its original program use as a storage area. This project will result in an increase of 14 FTE in lecture space, 45 FTE in LD laboratory space, and 13 faculty offices, and a decrease of 59 FTE in UD and graduate laboratory space, for a zero net. The future cost for equipment is $1,480,000.
