Site work and renovation of an educational facility in Corvallis, Oregon. Working plans call for the renovation of a 81,000-square-foot educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

As of June 14, 2022, this project is in the design phase. A construction manager has been selected. Subcontractor bidding opportunities are not expected until the fourth quarter of 2022. Construction is expected to start in the first quarter of 2023. Withycombe Hall is an approximately 81,000 SF educational facility, located at 2921 SW Campus Way, and is a contributing resource in the OSU Historic District. Occupants of the building include Food Science and Technology and Animal and Rangeland Sciences. The College of Liberal Arts retains a small amount of space associated with a Classroom Theater located at the northeast corner of the building. Withycombe Hall was constructed in 1952 as an Agricultural research and teaching building, complete with a working dairy. The dairy was converted to a theatrical auditorium in the 1980s, which will now be renovated for use by the Department of Food Science and Technology for their dairy processing facility. The Withycombe Hall Renovation will include both the east and west sides of the building for renewal of building systems and utilization. The work will upgrade the building to meet current codes and OSU Design and Construction Standards. The goal of the project will be to improve the entire building in one construction phase, with schedule milestones for the East and West sides. Prioritized for the first phase is the Dairy Processing Facility on the east side of the building. Key components of the Project include the following: 1. New Dairy Processing Lab Suite and new retail space for all products produced by Food Sciences. (east side) 2. Renovation/reconfiguration of existing labs for Animal Rangeland Sciences. (west side) 3. Reconfiguration of office/administrative spaces for collaborative work and student support. (throughout) 4. Reconfiguration of vacated lower level space to support both Food Science and Animal Rangeland Sciences. (east side) 5. Exterior improvements to entries for accessibility and improved means of delivery for goods and products. 6. Seismic safety improvements. 7. Fire and Life Safety system improvements and renewal. 8. Plumbing renewal. 9. HVAC improvements with efficiency, carbon reduction, laboratory safety and occupant comfort as goals. Chilled water will be supplied from the new North District Utility Plant (NDUP), with connection point located north of ALS and south of the east greenhouse. 10. Electrical service renewal. 11. Lighting renewal. 12. Roof and roof-top systems renewal. 13. General exterior finish renewal. 14. General interior finish renewal. 15. Exterior site improvements required by Land Development Code, and consistent with OSU's Transportation Plan. 16. Major and minor interior configuration changes for usefulness and efficiency. Withycombe Hall consists of three building segments: a 3-story west wing with administrative, classroom and laboratory functions, a central single-story structure with lecture hall, and an east wing with the dairy processing plant above a full basement. The building is set on pile foundations, and contains a combination of structural systems of concrete and steel, with interior non-structural partition walls.
