Renovation of a mixed-use development in Topeka, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

These renovations are beneficial for better space utilization as well as a reduction in deferred maintenance. Better space utilization is accomplished by moving ROTC to Robinson. In order to create space for ROTC, existing locker rooms will be converted to offices, lounges and staff space. To go along with this work, areas of Robinson that do not currently have cooling will be provided with air conditioning and existing areas that are conditioned will have equipment improvements. The new and improved air handlers will be provided with chilled water from a new cooling tower. Along with HVAC upgrades and space renovations, the fire alarm system for the building will be upgraded. In addition to reduced deferred maintenance in Robinson, this will also clear the way for razing the Military Science Building.
