Electronic Access Rural Demonstration Project Colle2e of Law - Phase I
Project Description:
This demonstration project involves the development and installation of electronic access sites in rural
locations, an electronic access information hub, and classroom and office improvements in the College of
Law. The electronic access sites will provide remote access to the College of Law's virtual reference
service and enhanced web site and will include dedicated interactive videoconferencing technology. The
project involves upgrades to the College of Law infrastructure and renovation of College of Law
facilities.
Project Status:
The project is complete with the exception of determining how to provide additional cooling for the
Matrix Room in the College of Law Library. Other areas including classrooms have been complete since
the start of the fall semester. The Matrix Room is occupied and operational, but it is proving difficult to
maintain comfortable temperatures in the space that has now been isolated from the rest of the Library
and had additional lighting and computer equipment placed there creating a heat load.

4th Floor Fit-up BBSRB
Project Description:
This project will fit-up approximately 32,750 square feet in the currently "shelled space" on the fourth
floor of the BBSRB Building. The fit-up will include wet bench laboratory space, support space, and dry
computational labs. The University has received a federal grant award of $3,685,000 from the National
Center for Research Resources Extramual Research Facilities Improvement Program. At the present
time we are unable to accurately estimate the final cost of the improvements and therefore are only
seeking design authority in the amount of $850,000.
Project Status:
A contract was awarded to A.M. Kinney to provide A/E services for this project. An Initial Design
Meeting was held on February 11, 2005, and follow-up meetings have been conducted to review and
confirm revisions. Testing of internal noise/vibrations on the 4th floor have been conducted.
Modifications are being made to equipment in the penthouse as part of the original project which should
control the vibrations. Follow-up tests will be made to reassess after the revisions have been made.
Phase 2 documents are scheduled to be submitted for review on April 8, 2005. Phase 3 documents are
scheduled to be submitted for review on June 17, 2005. The project is currently on schedule.

Memorial Coliseum Expansion
Project Description:
The basketball practice facility is approved for design only for the addition of men's and women's
basketball offices, practice facility, weight training, medical support, locker/shower, facilities ticket
office, administrative offices, and minor renovation of existing locker rooms with a scope of $2.5
million. The estimated total cost of the facility is $28 million, consisting of the $2.5 million for design
plus $25.5 million for construction. This project involves the design of a 92,300 square foot Basketball
Practice Facility to enhance the University's ability to attract top student athletes. The new facility will
alleviate scheduling problems at Memorial Coliseum and will provide amenities in line with other
NCAA basketball facilities in the country. The practice facility will be connected to Memorial
Coliseum, which is located near the intersection of Lexington Avenue and the Avenue of Champions,
and will renovate 7,700 square feet to support volleyball, gymnastics, offices and ticketing.
Sherman-Carter-Barnhart, Inc. is the prime architect for the project. They are working in conjunction
with INTB as the design architect, Staggs and Fisher as the M/E/P engineers, and the Structural Design
Group as the structural engineer. Fuller, Mossbarger, Scott and May perform geotechnical and survey
work for the project.
