Renovation of a municipal facility in Manhattan, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

Moore Hall has served the students at Kansas State University since 1965 as a student dorm with maximum capacity of 649 beds in a double room configuration. Moore Hall is located within the Derby complex and is 125,132 GSF; the building has had renovations over the years but needs a major renovation. The calculated deferred maintenance to bring it to 80% renewal is $20,000,000. There have been many renovations of both aesthetic appeal and of core infrastructure. The structural system is in good shape and the HVAC has had several upgrades. The original asbestos ceiling texture has been removed on several floors. A sprinkler system was added in the 2000's. The main lobby has been updated and a student store was added. The elevators were updated several years ago. Renovations to several systems remain as an opportunity to return Moore Hall to a preferred building for our students to live. These systems include fire safety systems, asbestos removal, plumbing systems, building ventilation, window replacements, roofing, flooring and other finish upgrades. A major desired upgrade is a bathroom configuration that provides privacy to the students. The project is include in the Kansas Board of Regents FY2027 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
