This project includes, but is not limited to, the repair of walls (exterior and interior) and ceiling surfaces of three cooler rooms at the Meats Laboratory. Removal of damaged, wet material will expose interior wall conditions and help to locate areas of air leakage. Repairs will be made to prevent moisture build-up. New lighting, insulated walls, and insulated ceiling panels will be installed. The project also includes the demolition and removal of the concrete cooler room floors. New concrete floors, with appropriate insulation beneath, will be installed.

The project includes, but is not limited to, replacing approximately 950 feet of iron water main pipe with a larger diameter HDPE pipe in the Richardson Court Area. HDPE is an EPA and DNR-approved water main pipe material that will not corrode, which should reduce future maintenance costs.

This project includes, but is not limited to, fire alarm system upgrade including replacement of the fire alarm panel and all wiring according to Department of Residence standards, and replacement of the apartment devices with addressable devices.

The project will renovate portions of the ground floor main entrances, entry lobby, and restrooms and the first floor event and circulation spaces, and restrooms. The existing Benton Auditorium will be remodeled into a flexible event space with stage and seating areas. The project will also provide new food and beverage amenities and improvements to wayfinding and signage to improve the guest experience. The project will also upgrade existing mechanical and electrical systems to meet exiting codes and the requirements of the renovated spaces. No existing occupants will be relocated during construction or after the project is completed.

This project includes, but is not limited to, the replacement of the existing single dehumidification unit with two new dehumidification units to provide a 100% redundant system. Dehumidifiers will be racked on the floor in a similar arrangement to the condensing units on the third floor.
