CSU Point of Contact for Information: Maria Hernandez, Associate Director Procurement and Contracts Phone (310) 243-3249 Email: mehernandez@csudh.edu Contractor License Requirement: B The Project consists of: The renovation of the NSM building will complete the Science complex and will provide CSU Dominguez Hills with facilities for a modern Science program. With a modest addition to construct a new planetarium for Earth Sciences, the project will also serve as a beacon for the surrounding community, to awaken interest in the sciences in the elementary and middle school students of its communities and help in setting new aspirations and new goals for achievements in the sciences. The project will also renovate the existing observatory, enhancing the university's science programs and outreach to k-12 programs. The building will be renovated to provide general use classrooms, dry instructional laboratories, and support facilities for the disciplines of Physics, Earth Sciences, Anthropology, Computer Sciences and Mathematics in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (NSM). A new code compliant elevator is included in the project. With the completion of the new Science and Innovation building in December 2020, the chemistry, bio - chemistry and biology laboratories and faculty will vacate the labs in the existing NSM building. This allows the campus to remove old fume hoods, address the seismic and code deficiencies and longstanding deferred maintenance items, consolidate most of the departments of the NBS College and provide much needed space for classrooms and the growing computer sciences department. The building has a CSU category 2 classification for seismic risk. The planned renovation will also address seismic safety in selected areas, modifications to the current HVAC system, provide operable windows, replace lighting with LED, and provide life- cycle savings on energy costs.
