Specifications include, but are not limited to: NKU is seeking a design team to lead the design and construction administration for asset preservation work in four buildings: • Fine Arts Center • Nunn Hall • Landrum Hall • Administrative Center FINE ARTS CENTER – PHASE ONE Background: The 160,000 GSF, four-story Fine Arts Center houses the NKU School of the Arts, or SOTA, including Visual Arts, Theater & Dance, and Music. The Fine Arts Center (FA) was constructed in 1977 and is poured-in-place (PIP) concrete with a concrete structural frame and concrete block partition walls. The FA Addition was completed in 1992 and has a PIP concrete structural frame with a precast concrete exterior skin. FA is connected to the central Power Plant for steam and chilled water. Various supporting test results, reports, drawings, etc. can be found here: https://mymailnkumy.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/strausr2_nku_edu/EnZVm_qdQfNKgZhUZBhI0tEB53YBatz7z14mcDpJs4_ dOA?e=RrFHFp 1. Floor Heaving Remediation The first floor slab of FA has raised due to the presence of expansive shale in the subsoil, resulting in heaving of the finished floor. Upward pressure on the concrete structural frame is not an issue, but the raised floor is pushing the concrete block walls upward, causing uneven floors, and significant structural stress on 2nd floor beams and floor slabs.
