Concerning Facilities at the Greater Hartford Campus

Date: April 23, 2009

Social Work:

  • Hoffman Architects completed the façade study on March 16th. A fee proposal has been requested for the firm to complete construction documents for repairs. Funding is available for design, but a separate Board of Trustees request will need to be submitted for construction, which is anticipated to begin this fall.
  • Survey work to design the replacement of the road was performed on 4/14/09.
  • An interior masonry condition assessment will be completed by April 30th.

Trecker Library:

  • Hoffman Architects completed the façade study on March 31st. A purchase order was issued for the firm to complete construction documents for repairs. The 90% design should be completed by May 31.
  • Prequalification of contractors to perform the roof replacement and façade repair has begun. Estimated construction start date is still July 22nd.
  • Funding is being requested for replacement of the boilers, which are original to the building and may fail at any time. Preliminary design work has begun in-house.
  • An interior masonry condition assessment will be completed by April 30th.

Undergraduate Building:

  • A forensic analysis of the roof will be completed by April 30th.
  • The Chemistry Lab make up air system will be assessed and recommendations made by May 15th.
  • An ADA evaluation of a second floor restroom will be completed by in-house design staff.

Campus:

  • A campus wide HVAC Master Plan is underway and will be completed by the end of June. Green initiatives are included as part of the study. Work will also include addressing conditions in the School of Social Work building.
  • Survey work to measure exterior slopes along some walkways, the Library ramp, and the Undergraduate parking/access area to assess ADA needs was begun on 4/14/09.
  • CL&P made their initial field work visit on February 25th to inspect the high voltage distribution system and to plan their field evaluation and testing. The next step is to confirm the condition of the manholes and underground conduits. Due to the slow response from CL&P, we are re-evaluating our strategy to execute this project and will meet to develop a new plan of action.
