• Must maintain original historic architecture and its defining characteristics.

• Interiors and exteriors must be in keeping with mid-century modern design and be aesthetically pleasing, including furniture.

Building 1 – Phased Renovation A multi-year Phased Project (Planned):

FY12-17: Design and renovation Wings 3 and Wing 6 completed; Bridging documents developed for future phases.

FY19-20: Award demolition and D-B construction contracts for Wing 5.

FY21: Award demolition and D-B construction contracts for Wing 4.

FY23: Award demolition and D-B renovation contract for partial Spine connecting Wings 5 & 4.

• Existing facilities are the result of years of modifications to accommodate changing research needs.

• The result is a decaying facility that is not suited for current research requirements.

• This effort includes complete removal and replacement of all systems with fully code compliant and energy efficient systems.
