A final program document was issued in January 2008. The Notice to Proceed with the design was issued to Morris Architects in February 2008. The original project scope included basement shell space for the South Chilled Water Plant and the required infrastructure upgrades / relocation of the utility service for the project. Site selection and integration of the chilled water plant and utility infrastructure upgrades were evaluated. The design team with University concurrence determined the program requirements for the UAC program and the South Chilled Water Plant (SCP) could not be fulfilled on the available site. A different site for the SCP was determined, and the shell space for the plant was removed from the scope of the UAC project. All other utility infrastructure upgrades and relocations are required to support the UAC and remain in this project.
Status: After extensive reviews and revisions, the Design Development documents are complete with a CM@R cost estimate validated by a third party estimator as under the approved construction budget. The Design Development documents will be presented to the Board for approval at the November 2009 meeting. Construction is scheduled to start in the summer 2010 and complete in the fall of 2012. Occupancy is projected for December 2012, in time for spring 2013 classes.
