Specifications include, but are not limited to: In general the work consists ofrenovating the existing Building 6 on the Central Wisconsin Center (CWC) campus. The existing masonry construction one-story building with a lower level contains 46,377 gross square feet and was constructed in 1963. The building will be used for either long- or short-term care for CWC residents or for civil geriatric psychiatric patients currently cared for at Mendota Mental Health Institute (MMHI). This project will correct Life Safety Code deficiencies that were identified during a 2008 regulatory inspection and includes the installation of a fire sprinkler protection system. Mechanical, plumbing, electrical, low voltage and security systems will be replaced to bring them up to current requirements. The building envelope will be updated including insulating all exterior walls and installing psychiatric windows. The project includes demolition and remodel of the first floor and selective remodeling in the basement. The building is planned as an inpatient behavioral health hospital and will provide two (15) bed patient units each with a nurse station, activity spaces, dining room and support spaces. The first floor will be I-2 occupancy. The lower level will be Business occupancy housing staff and building support spaces. The main entrance to the building will be relocated to an accessible route on the south side facing the access drive. Site work includes replacement of existing ramps to meet ADA and various sidewalk changes to provide more accessible routes. Exterior and adjacent site lighting will be upgraded. Outdoor enclosed courtyards will also be developed for patient use.
