The scope of this project includes critical repairs and improvements to the building’s East and West façades, which are currently in significant disrepair. The façade work will represent the majority of the project’s overall cost and is a critical component of this renovation. In addition to the exterior upgrades, CSU intends to renovate portions of the building’s 4th floor to create new state-of-the-art spaces that support biomedical research and enhance CSU’s recruitment and retention of students and faculty. The 4th floor renovation will include laboratories, auxiliary and support spaces, seminar and conference rooms, break areas, and other academic and collaborative environments. Upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems serving these areas are also included in the scope of work. We will need the architect to help CSU program and space plan faculty and staff in the best approach possible, likely multi-phased approach, that is the most cost effective and least disruptive to our campus.
