This project will construct approximately 5,550 GSF of new space and renovate approximately
50,000 ASF/77,300 GSF of existing classroom and office space into primarily office and
laboratory space in Carlson Hall as department and faculty offices for the College of Letters and
Science. The first addition will be 4,000 GSF on the east side, to house the primary entrance,
vertical circulation and collaboration spaces. Then a 1050 GSF addition will be built at the 4th
floor level for conferences and collaborations space and three other small additions (totaling 500
GSF) will also be constructed at the northwest corner of the building at the 1st floor level to
improve the east entry and receiving area. Work will include demolition of walls and building
systems, currently serving as classroom and office spaces and will construct office and
laboratory spaces within this same area. This project is also to include replacement of the
deteriorating air handling unit, cooling coils, outside air dampers, HVAC distribution fans,
pneumatic HVAC controls, electrical, and lighting systems.
