Specifications include, but are not limited to: The renovation of Building E will repurpose existing laboratories into office and collaborative spaces. Groups relocating to Building E include Research, Producer Guidance, and Business Intelligence & Analytics. The renovation provides space for each group’s current staff, along with 40% growth. In addition to office spaces for these groups, collaborative spaces will include several Agile Studios, flexible huddle areas, and multipurpose meeting rooms that can be divided or combined for large sprint reviews, team meetings, or events. The first floor will house a kitchenette/coffee bar that serves occupants of Building E along with the rest of campus. A new receiving suite and benchtop laboratory space are planned for testing field samples. Approximately 51,100 gross square feet are included in the program. The renovation also plans on various building envelope and exterior architectural enhancements. The existing problematic atrium skylight will be removed and replaced with a new top-lighting strategy, which will involve modifications to the structural system in the atrium. The southern staff entry will be adjusted to align with the new interior circulation system. A new building entry, as well as a re-imagining of the exterior architecture around the building entry is planned. In addition to these exterior envelope and structural modifications re-roofing is planned as part of this project. MEP System and enhancements are also planned and summarized elsewhere in this report.
