Fire Doors:

Install Fire Doors between the two Story Administrative wing (Zone C) and the four story “bridge” Zone B) to the 1923 building. This is for safety and code compliance. These are double four foot wide steel doors and casings at the intersection of Zones C and B. They will remain in the open position except in the case of fire which will trigger an automatic closing.

Signage and Landscaping:

This work involves general outside and inside signage as required for navigational purposes and some minimal potted landscaping in the North and South Courtyards between Zones A, B and C. In addition, however, is the requirement to create SDC identity and presence along Orleans Street. This will require fairly extensive landscaping, a large sign and some screening walls. The intension is to do this work in such a way that minimal reconstruction will be required when Phase II Zones E and G work is done. The mission of this work is to enhance general amenity and to establish the North side of the Collage as the FRONT of the campus. Throughout Phases I and II, the work will transform the exterior of the Campus from a “hard” institutional look to an extensively landscaped, rich in intrigue, urban landscape.

Slab leveling and Book store:

At the North end of the Zone C Hallway on the first floor, adjacent to the East-West Hallway leading to the exits, Theater and Student union, there is some existing slab failure. These slab areas will be remover and replaced over compacted soil and gravel. Some existing masonry walls will be removed and replaced with glass walls to create the spaces for the Bookstore and Waiting Area.

North Zone C Hallway Reconfiguration and Waiting Area:

At present, this area (described) above is just two Hallways intersecting at right angles to one another - this makes a dull and uninspiring place. These will be reconfigured to accomplish a sense of entry, a Waiting Area outside the Administrative wing, and transparent access into the new Bookstore. This work start a process that will be continued in Phase II as the Student Union and Arts Center are further developed.

Activation of Theater and Gymnasium:

This work involves basic repair, cleanup and painting as has been typical of most Phase I work.The NavCenter will reside in the the GYM until its permanent space is available in Zone B. In Phase III the Theater and Gymnasium will be extensively modified to become a Fine Arts Center (Zones D and G) and a Community Health Center (zone D) with a selected community JV partners.

Upgrading of Administrative Offices and open work areas to match original plans:

Due to budget constraints, the offices, in phase Ia were not completed as designed. They fall far short of the functionality and quality required by this Program. In Phase II, they will be rebuilt according to the original design and specifications.

Development of Hallways:

Existing hung ceiling materials will be removed and the Hallways returned to their full height to the extent possible. A trellis-soffit system will be built to integrate electrical conduits, wiring chases, ducts, light fixtures and sprinklers.

Sprinkler System:

A sprinkler system will be installed in phase II in all Hallways, exit areas and areas of high people density. The piping will be integrated with the Hallway trellis and soffit system described above.

Atrium and Elevator Lobby:

At the intersection of the North-South and the East-West hallways in the Administration wing (Zone C), an Atrium through the third level (Phase III - Zones D and G) will be constructed to provide sitting and gathering space and to bring light down into all levels of the building. Adjacent to this (in the four story “bridge” - Zone D), a new ADA Elevator will be built (see below) that will serve all four stories of the “bridge.” This elevator will be served by a glass Lobby that looks into and opens (at ground level) into the North Court Yard. Entry doors will be provided, at each level, into the East-West Hallway.

New ADA Elevator:

The existing four story Elevator is not ADA sized. It is located in the 1923 building (Zone A) at the intersection with the East end of the “bridge” (Zone B). This elevator is being retrofitted and will operate as it is presently configured. A new Elevator will be constructed at the West end of Zone B adjacent to the two story 1969 building (Zone C) now the Administrative wing. This elevator will serve the two stories of Zone C, the third floor of Zone G (Phase III) and the four stories of Zone B, thus, it will provide ADA access to the entire complex.

East Entry and Lobby:

Completion of Student Union:

This work includes armature elements to break the space into smaller conversation and work niches, a food service area and multimedia capability. In Phase III, the East wall of the Union will be redone in glass and operable doors so that the Auditorium and Student Union can operate in concert when appropriate.

Development of Zone B Collaborative Learning and Work Spaces:

Zone B is the four story bridge between the 1923 building (Zone A) and the 1969 building (Zone C) - between the teaching and administration areas respectively. This zone will be devoted to collaborative processes. With Phase III completion, the top floors of Zone B will open on to the third floor addition (Zone G) which will tie into the Fine Arts Center and Commercial Dining Facility (Zone D and G). Together, these capabilities will combine to make a world class, boutique-scale Conference Center.

North Side (Orleans Street) Signage, walls and landscaping:

This work will supplement and complete the work done in Phase I. It will involve the placement of some structural walls and foundations that will be required for Phase III work in Zones D, G and E. This is to prevent redundancy of effort and to develop and more presentable “front” to the school prior to the completion of Phase III work.

Development of Court Yards (North and South) between 1923 and 1969 Buildings:

The Court Yards (North between Zones A, C and D and South between Zones A, B and C) are an important element in the Campus. They will be arranged and lighted so that they can be used in all four seasons and during the day and evening. This extended used will be accomplished by semi-enclosed glass roofs and careful orientation to sun. Cold weather heating will be provided in winter and force air for cool air circulation in the summer.

Electrical and Mechanical Improvements:

Phase I repaired and added electrical and mechanical units as necessary to accomplish better energy use and to accomplished basic functionality in the administrative areas and classrooms. Phase II work will remove no longer useful circuits and equipment, re-route conduit and ducts so that hung ceilings can be removed where desired and generally upgrade all electrical and mechanical systems. New capacity will be added where required in anticipation of Phases II and IV work.

Communications and Computer Infrastructure:

Completion of high speed lines and installation of wireless technology throughout the the entire Campus including outdoor sitting areas. This work also include installation of high speed multimedia backbone to support Phase III development of the Theater.

Upgrading and Completion of Library:

This work involves removing several walls which opens the space into a large multisided room, the creations of soffits, coves and screens to create semi-private areas and the addition of custom case work and desks.

Opening and Basic Development of Fourth Floor (Zone A):

In Phase II, the Fourth Floor will be repaired, cleaned and painted (as was the first three floor in Phase I) for general classroom use. This will provide “spill-over” capability and space that can be used temporality when other sections of the building are being remodeled or upgraded in Phases II and III. The Fourth Floor will become The SDC Graduate School Center in Phase III.

Development of East Parking, Fences, Walls and Gates (Zone F):

Creation of Entries at East, North and Courtyards:

Theese will be simple class structures over a stell struss system [link].

These projects are not pre-scheduled. Work can proceed whenever the appropriate JV partner is found, as long as, certain basic Phase II infrastructure work is completed before or in parallel. Each of these projects and designed be discreet and as independent of each other as possible.
