The Computing Center abuts Fronczak Hall to the east and is at the north edge of the science and mathematics precinct. Its envelope is original except for the roof which was replaced in 2012. The scope includes Interior demolition and reconstruction including new layout, finishes and fixtures, data, and security to create teaching labs & related support space for biology and geology. Also included are envelope upgrades: replacement of windows & doors, repointing of the brick veneer, interior insulation of the exterior walls and additional insulation below roof for energy conservation. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems are to be replaced. Mechanical systems shall include specialty lab ventilation and an air source heat pump system. The existing roof will be replaced with a modified bitumen roof system. Structural analysis will be required to determine if the roof can support mechanical equipment.
