The SSU campus has two distinct sectors that are separated by a largely open drainage canal floodplain: the historic campus core at the east edge of campus adjacent to the salt marsh, and a more modern/ contemporary sector west of the canal. Nearly 75% of SSU’s current enrollment live on campus, with approximately 1,000 mostly lower division students in traditional dorms in the historic core and 1,300 upper division students in apartments on the west campus. This project will enhance the quality and suitability of student support and engagement space on the east campus, while providing a logical consolidation of student fitness/wellness space on the west campus. The project scope will include multiple components: a) Demolition of approximately 100,000 GSF of east campus buildings: i. Approximately 62,000 GSF of the Wiley gymnasium / pool complex (excluding the ~10,000 GSF historic 1936 Wilcox Gym) ii. The approximately 28,000 GSF two-story King Frazier administrative / retail building; b) New construction of 55,000 GSF replacement space: i. 20,000 GSF of student support and engagement space (as a complementary addition to the existing King Frazier Annex); ii. 35,000 GSF student fitness and wellness space on west campus adjacent to Tiger Arena (programmed to complement and leverage existing Tiger Arena support spaces and infrastructure) c) Targeted renovation and systems renewal in 102,000 GSF: i. 18,000 GSF in King Frazier Annex dining and food service space; ii. 84K GSF in Tiger Arena, limited to chiller/boiler infrastructure (with additional capacity to serve the adjacent new student fitness and wellness space) and gym floor replacement; d) Remediation and enhancement of demolition sites, and environmental stabilization and enhancement of a portion of the saltwater marsh edge bordering the historic campus core adjacent to the Wilcox Gym and King Frazier annex
