Description: Administrative realignments and operational activities have resulted in the need to relocate and/or consolidate the Contract and Grant Administration, Office of Sponsored Programs; Office of the Registrar; Controller's Office; and Administrative Information Services. In order to accommodate the organizational changes, improve operational efficiencies and support adjustments in staffing levels, space on the ground and first floors of the Administration Building will be renovated and configured to provide space that affords optimal efficiency to the departments. The north stairway and entrance areas have had chronic waterproofing issues as well which have caused damage in occupied office space on the north end of the ground floor.
The planning of this project is anticipated to include renovation of the first and ground floors to accommodate staff from the Contract and Grant Administration, Office of Sponsored Programs; Office of the Registrar; and Administrative Information Services. The renovations will include the purchase and installation of open office systems furniture; construction of offices and a conference room; painting; ceiling and lighting modifications; power, data, and phone for the new offices. It is also anticipated to include removal of the barrier-free ramp, planters and granite steps at the front entrance of the building in order to make foundation repairs and to install a waterproofing membrane. The planters and granite steps will be returned and a new barrier-free ramp with a snow-melt system and entranceway will be constructed to comply with current construction standards.
The Administration building is located on West Circle Drive, adjacent to Olds Hall, in the North Academic District.
