Expand/Renovate B404 for Outpatient Mental Health 676-325 (C )

STATEMENT OF WORK

I. GENERAL:

This project will construct a planned design to expand and renovate B404 for outpatient mental health office space. The 4,500 square foot expansion will infill the southeast corner of the building with three levels and a mechanical space on the roof. The first floor is rebar reinforced slab-on-grade. The expansion will house large meeting rooms and two new elevators. The renovation of the three main floors will consist predominantly of full gut of the building with the exception of selected walls throughout, the east end of the first floor, and IT closets. The renovation of the space includes all new finishes, mechanical ducting and equipment, plumbing, electrical, fire suppression and alarms, data, and communications infrastructure. The exterior renovation is limited. The north, main entrance will be reworked, a new southeast entrance added to accommodate the addition, and south of the building will receive a rain garden to assist with stormwater drainage. All window fenestrations will be removed and replaced. Exterior brick and lintel work will be removed to accept the new addition. Roofs are not included except where the new addition adjoins the existing building.
