INTRODUCTION

Purpose

The Program Year 2012 Paul Simon Job Corps Center Facility Survey was conducted the week of May 21, 2012.

The survey was conducted by a team of architects and engineers for the following purposes:

1. Documentation of existing conditions.

The physical features and conditions of the buildings and site are documented and verifi ed. Barrier-free access issues are included in this report.

The programmatic characteristics of the various Job Corps operational functions are documented and verifi ed as they relate to the center’s facilities. Program issues include: size of functional areas, operational layout, and functional amenities.

2. Identifi cation of defi ciencies.

The corresponding funding requirements for corrections to individual defi ciencies are identifi ed in an effort to bring the center to an optimal state of utilization and repair. Defi ciencies are categorized in three groups: program, site, and building.

3. Development of a plan of action.

A plan of action is developed based on center needs identifi ed through defi ciencies and discussions with national, center and regional personnel. The plan of action can take the form of a long range plan, development strategy or simple list of corrections depending on the situation. The intent of this plan is to provide actions which positively impact center operations and the overall living and learning environment.

Facilities deemed excess to the Job Corps program’s needs are identifi ed for disposition.

4. Collection of associated information.

Additional information is gathered related to energy and environmental issues. This information comes in the form of reports from the center (written or verbal) and is documented and coordinated with the energy and environmental management plans contained in this report. Typically, these energy and environmental management plans are based on previously performed audits.

Report Contents

The survey information is contained in two volumes. Volume I provides a summary of data collected/verifi ed during the facility survey, provides analysis of portions of that data, and presents a plan of action. Volume I also includes a proposed site plan and implementation plan to assist in the explanation of the plan of action. Current center information is provided in an existing site plan and a center statistics sheet. Volume II contains the detailed supporting data, which is summarized in Volume I and also provides documentation of related correspondence, which occurs throughout the Facility Planning Report process.

Paul Simon Job Corps Center 4

Background

Paul Simon Job Corps Center is located on 33 acres of land in Chicago, IL. The land is leased from the City of Chicago and the buildings are owned by US Department of Labor.

The center was constructed as a Job Corps Center and was activated in 1999. The center has 173,660 gross square feet (GSF) in 11 buildings and 6,492 GSF in 6 structures. Paul Simon Job Corps Center provides residential living, academic education, recreation, and vocational training for a population of 354 students, consisting of 164 resident men, 164 resident women and 26 non-resident women. In addition, the center provides child care for 20 community parents, 11 students and 5 staff. The total building area at the center is 129,509 net square feet (NSF) as compared to the DOL suggested space guideline range of 100,972 NSF to 126,014 NSF for a center with this student population.

General Site Conditions

The center is located in the CDT time zone at 41°49’ degrees north latitude and 87°42’ degrees west longitude. It has an average elevation of 633 feet above sea level. January temperatures in Chicago range from an average low of 18 degrees Fahrenheit to an average high of 31 degrees Fahrenheit. July temperatures range from an average low of 68 degrees Fahrenheit to an average high of 84 degrees Fahrenheit. Chicago is considered to be part of the humid continental region, with annual precipitation of 35.8 inches.

The site is located in an aging urban, industrial and commercial setting approximately 10 miles southwest of the Chicago Millennium Park. The topography is mostly flat, with a gentle slope from the west to the east, providing excellent views of the Chicago skyline. Of the total acreage, approximately 4.2 acres are located on an undeveloped, rectangular panhandle at the west side of the site. The property is surrounded by Illinois Central Gulf Railroad to the north, a radio station and South Kedzie Avenue to the east, a man-made waterway canal to the south and a light industrial open air storage lot to the west.

Access to the center is from South Kedzie Avenue leading to a small traffic circle in front of Administration Medical-Dental Building 1 where staff parking is located. A loop load accessed from the circle facilitates access to all buildings on campus. The north section of the loop road has asphalt paving with concrete curbs and gutters. Access to the north loop is controlled by an electronic gate monitored from the security desk in Administration Medical-Dental Building 1. The south loop is covered with gravel. Access to the south loop and to the Child Development Center Building 11 drop off is controlled by a manually operated chain link gate. The campus roadways and parking lots are deteriorating. The gravel road has potholes and ponding water. Parking for visitors and non-resident students is not adequate.

View from the North Loop Road towards the City of Chicago

Paul Simon Job Corps Center5

The campus has a compact, linear configuration. Inside the loop road, the pedestrian circulation is clearly defined by the east-west pedestrian mall which links the night campus at the west with the day campus at the east. The night campus consists of three dormitory buildings located in close proximity to the recreation and food service buildings. Across the pedestrian mall at the north are the food service, education and maintenance buildings. At the south, a piece of grassed land covers the area between the paved walkway and the South Loop Road stretching along the whole length of the pedestrian mall. The academic education, administration, medical and child care buildings are located at the east end of the pedestrian mall. The campus buildings are inter-connected by concrete sidewalks which are in good condition.

The storm water management combines surface run-off with an underground system. At the north, storm water run-off is captured by catch basins and conducted to an underground drainage system. At the south, grass swales direct water into culverts which daylight into the South Loop Road to flow across the shoulder, down the embankment and into the canal. A section of the South Loop Road near South Dormitory Building 5 is eroded.

The domestic water supply and sanitary system connection are provided by the City of Chicago. These systems are adequate and in good condition. Fire protection is provided by fire hydrants and the center has a booster pump located in Pump House Building 10 which provides adequate pressure to the dormitory sprinkler systems. The center is supported by a City of Chicago fire station which is approximately 5 miles from the center and has a response time of approximately 10 minutes. The center is supplied with natural gas from People’s Energy. The natural gas pressure and flow to the center are adequate.

Electric service is provided by Vanguard Energy. The primary distribution system lines are mounted over power poles along Kedzie Avenue. The lines transit to underground at the intersection of Access Drive and Kedzie Avenue. The secondary underground distribution system has pad-mounted transformers outside the buildings and is owned and maintained by the utility company. The system is adequate and in good condition. Site lighting includes pole-mounted and building-mounted fixtures which are controlled by photocells and timers. It is adequate and in good condition. The center owns and maintains the site lighting system. The main telephone service is brought to the center by AT&T. XO Communications provides and maintains the internal distribution system. Job Corps Data Center provides and oversees the data/communication networks. These systems are adequate and in good condition.

, when the General Building Conditions

The center contains 11 buildings with the majority located on the north side of the pedestrian mall; South Dormitory Building 5 and Child Development Center Building 11 are located on the south side. The original core of ten buildings was built in 1999 for the Job Corps and one building was built in 2004. Other than the three dormitory buildings which have two stories, all other buildings on campus have only one story. The majority of the buildings have load bearing masonry and exterior finishes ranging from split or smooth face CMU combined with wood or cement board siding. The asphalt shingle roofs were replaced in 2010 with solar reflective fiberglass shingles; two buildings have metal roofs

Paul Simon Job Corps Center 6 and metal siding, and one building has a flat, EPDM roof. All buildings are in generally good condition. Some programmatic issues (obsolete campus-wide DDC system, lack of master keying and lack of dedicated space for GED, CPP and welcome center), are being discussed and addressed elsewhere in this report.

Preventive Maintenance

Maintenance at the center is generally good. Paul Simon JCC was built in 1999 and the buildings, landscape and site features appear to be well maintained. Regulated inspections of all HVAC and plumbing systems including safety systems such as fire pumps, automatic sprinklers, backflow preventer valves and fire extinguishers need to be performed on a timely basis. The center utilizes SchoolDude, a maintenance management computer program. Student help is also utilized and building managers are responsible for house chores and general maintenance of their buildings. Specialized maintenance and regulatory inspections are performed by contractors.

Ownership

Paul Simon Job Corps Center is constructed on 33 acres of land leased by the Department of Labor from the City of Chicago. The lease commenced on April 1, 1996, and it will expire on March 31, 2096. Total rent for this 100-year lease term is $1.00, which was paid at lease inception. The Government is responsible for all maintenance costs associated with the upkeep of the property and the repair of all buildings and structures.

Facility Assessment by Function

Student Housing

The center accommodates (164) resident men and (164) resident women in three buildings.

West Dormitory Building 3, North Dormitory Building 4 and South Dormitory Building 5 were constructed in 1999. Dormitory Buildings 4 and 5 were designed as prototypical two-story ‘H’ type dormitory with four wings and a commons with two counselor offices, staff toilet, two laundry rooms, one elevator and one mechanical room. On the second floor, a long corridor providing access to mechanical and storage rooms, connects the two wings. A lounge, a study room and one RA office are located on the first floor in each wing. Storage rooms for each wing are located on the second floor only.

Each wing on both floors has a cluster of four bedrooms. The typical sleeping room in these clusters has four beds and a dedicated bathroom. In addition, on the first floor of each wing there is a two-bed accessible room with a dedicated bathroom. Dormitory Buildings 4 and 5 have a capacity of 136 beds each. Building 3 has a similar configuration, except that it was constructed as only half of the same prototype and therefore, it accommodates only

West Dormitory Building 3 and North Dormitory Building 4

Paul Simon Job Corps Center7

68 beds. Currently, the center has a surge of (12) beds. These dormitory buildings are in good condition with the exception of deteriorated flooring on the second floor. Also, in Dormitory Buildings 4 and 5, the mechanical rooms are crowded with equipment, accessories and piping which makes routine maintenance tasks very difficult, if not impossible.

Education

Academic and career preparation (CPP) functions are contained in Education Building 6 which is a one-story, ‘L’ shaped building with a double loaded interior corridor. The south wing contains the academic classrooms and some administrative offices. The north wing contains CPP and soft vocation classrooms. Counseling offices are located in Dormitory Buildings 3, 4 and 5, and a social development office suite is located in Physical Fitness Building 7. The faculty and the administration are engaged into the practice of Professional Learning Community (PLC) practice which emphasizes simultaneous learning and engages students, teaching staff and administration, and the community at large to collaborate and focus on learning rather than teaching. As such, the center would like to improve the building’s functionality by separating the academic and vocational spaces from the CPP functions. Also, dedicated space for homerooms, technical and academic tutoring would be needed to support the PLC program. In addition, Paul Simon is a GED testing site for both its students and the community at large. Testing for 20 to 30 students is held bi-weekly in the gym of the Physical Fitness Building 7. The center lacks a visitor/welcome/GED building with direct and separate access from the main entry to the campus. Instead, visitors are brought into the night and day campus to attend meetings or to be tested. Other than these programmatic issues these education buildings are in good condition and function well.

Hard vocational functions are located in Vocation Building 9. The one-story metal framed building is located in the center of the day campus west of Education Building 6. The building houses the material handling, carpentry, bricklayer and painting shops. Three vocational storage buildings SB-1, SB-4 and SB-5, constructed between 2003 and 2009 by CTST, are conveniently located across the paved driveway at the west side of the building.

The building interior is utilitarian, with exposed structure, painted CMU or metal clad walls and painted concrete floors in the shops area. The electrical room in the bricklayer shop is not enclosed and the electrical equipment is exposed to dust and debris. Also, the overhead door in the material handling shop and the exterior metal cladding around the door are deteriorated. Otherwise, the shops are adequate in size, in good condition and function well.

Entry to Education Building 6

Paul Simon Job Corps Center 8

Food Service

Food service functions are located in Cafeteria Building 2. The one-story masonry building contains a spacious dining hall, food preparation, and serving, dishwashing and storage functions.

A portion of this building has a flat roof where the HVAC equipment is located. The queuing line (both indoor and outdoor) is not adequate.

The dedicated space inside the building cannot accommodate the number of students who are forced to form a line outside the building where there is no protection against the elements. An outdoor patio with metal chairs and tables is located at the south side of the dining hall.

Students can use this space for outdoor dining.

The patio is fully enclosed with an ornamental metal fence. Lacking a welcome center, the center uses the dining hall to host orientation meetings with prospective students and their parents. Other than these programmatic deficiencies, the building is in generally good condition and functions well.

Recreation

Indoor recreation functions are located in Physical Education Building 7. This building was constructed in 1999 and is in good condition and functions well. The interior space is organized along a central corridor. A pool hall, double story gymnasium, public restrooms and a small theater are located along the north side of the corridor.

The women’s weight room, aerobics studio, arts and crafts, music room, video-game room, main lobby and a small conference room are located along the west side.

The gymnasium has load bearing masonry walls with clerestory windows, a gabled roof structure with exposed steel beams and acoustical panels applied to the underside of the roof deck. Moveable bleachers are located at the east side of the gym. The gym flooring shows signs of deterioration. The storage space is undersized. A CTST project to renovate the old library space into a video-game center had not been completed at the time of the May 2012 Facility Survey. Other than these, the recreation building is adequate and functions well.

Outdoor recreation facilities consist of an athletic field and one basketball court. The athletic field is located at the north side, between Dormitory Building 4 and Physical Education Building 7. A blacktop basketball court is located between the three dormitory

Main entry to Cafeteria Building 2

Main entry to Physical Education Building 7

Paul Simon Job Corps Center9 buildings. These spaces are maintained well and are in good condition. A large, grassed piece of land south of the pedestrian mall spans all the way between the South Dormitory Building 3 and Child Development Center Building 11, affording the students unobstructed views towards the river and a place for taking a stroll. An undeveloped piece of land at the south-west corner of the campus has the potential of being transformed into a recreational park for student activities such as gardening or jogging.

Administration

The great majority of center’s administration functions are located within the east wing of Administration/Medical-Dental Building 1. The west wing contains the medical-dental functions.

The original construction, built in 1999, was comprised of two separate buildings connected by a breezeway. The center enclosed the breezeway to create a shared lobby complete with a security desk for monitoring the access to both wings. The center security office has direct accessed from the main lobby. At the far end of each building wing there is a small annex for a dedicated mechanical system. The two main air-cooled condensing units are no longer working.

The administration offices are organized around a loop corridor accessed from a small entry lobby. The restrooms, student records, center server room and a small conference room are centrally located. Other than the failing mechanical units mentioned above, this building is in good condition and functions well. Other administrative offices are to be found in Education Building 6, Physical Fitness Building 7 and Maintenance/Warehouse Building 8. These offices are adequate and in good condition.

The Child Development Center (CDC) is located in Building 11. The building, which was built in 2004, is a one story modular steel frame building with a flat roof. It is located at the south-east side of the campus in close proximity to the Administration/Medical-Dental Building 1 and the campus entry. The facility serves infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers for 20 community parents, 11 Job Corps students and five Job Corps staff. A fenced play-yard, located at the west side of the building, affords nice views of the surrounding grassed land. The five classrooms, nap room, multi-purpose room, restrooms, kitchen and offices are arranged on both sides of an east-west corridor which splits the building in two. This building is adequate in size, functional and in good condition.

Medical/Dental

Medical/Dental functions are located in the west wing of Administration/Medical-Dental Building 1. The medical/dental section has a similar configuration with the administration wing. A loop corridor provides access to the perimeter spaces (exam rooms, male and

Play-yard at the west side of Child Development Center Building 11

Paul Simon Job Corps Center 10 female wards, dental suite and conference room) and to the centrally located utilitarian spaces (pantry, toilet rooms, hazmat storage and lab).

Dedicated mechanical units serving the administration and medical/dental suites are located at the far end of each wing. These units are obsolete, maintenance intensive and no longer working efficiently. Other than this, the building is in good condition and functions well.

Storage/Support

Most of the center maintenance functions are located in Maintenance/Warehouse Building 8 which accommodates the general storage, maintenance shop, uniform storage and maintenance manager and property offices. The building also houses the administrative director’s offices. The two shops located at the north side of the building have large overhead doors with direct access from the service yard. This building is functional and in good condition. Maintenance storage is also located in the building addition to the Physical Fitness Building 7, which was constructed by CTST. Also, Pump House Building 10 is used for general storage. The storage and support spaces are adequate and in generally good condition.

Energy Issues

Paul Simon Job Corps Center decreased energy usage by 18% in FY2012 to 196,000 BTU/GSF/YR from 238,000 BTU/GSF/YR the previous year. Staff and students are encouraged to continue to reduce energy usage in the center. This center is one of the highest energy users per square foot in Job Corps. In FY2012, Paul Simon JCC had the highest energy usage per square foot in Job Corps, higher than Alaska.

Executive Order 13423 “Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management” became effective on 1/24/2007. This order requires a 3% per year reduction in energy intensity (BTU/GSF) relative to a 2003 baseline by all Federal agencies along with a 2% per year reduction in water consumption intensity (GAL/GSF) relative to a 2007 baseline. New construction and major renovations of agency buildings must comply with the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (as updated). One of the principles of this memorandum is that government agencies will optimize energy performance of new buildings. All proposed construction and renovation projects should be sent to the ESC for review to ensure that they comply with the new energy efficiency requirements. DOL is committed to achieving the goals of the Executive Order and the Memorandum and all Job Corps facilities are asked to fully participate to make this happen.

Paul Simon Job Corps Center11

Consumption

The energy consumption baseline from FY 2003 is 154,128 BTU/GSF. The EO 13423 target is for a 21% reduction in FY 2012, which translates to 121,000 BTU/GSF. The center posted a consumption of 196,000 BTU/GSF in FY 2012, which represents a 27% increase relative to the baseline. This increase is not accurate due to incomplete and therefore incorrect data reported by the center. This problem is being addressed. Below shows yearly energy consumption relative to baseline. The red line represents the reduction target, and the green line represents consumption.

The large decrease in energy usage in FY2012 compared to the previous year is due to a decrease in natural gas usage. Natural gas usage decreased by 24% at least partly due to a decrease in heating degree days of 17%.

The total energy cost from all sources in FY 2012 was $250,341 compared to $313,023 in the previous year, a 20% decrease. In FY 2012, Paul Simon JCC increased electricity consumption by 4% compared to FY 2011. Cooling degree days (CDDs) are a measure of how much cooling is needed. CDDs increased by 18% between FY 2011 and FY 2012.

Electric use is shown below.

The average cost of electricity decreased by 19% during the period to $0.064/kWh in FY 2012, compared to $0.079/kWh in FY 2011. The average cost of natural gas decreased from $3.19/KCF to $2.91/KCF, a 9% decrease.

Natural gas usage decreased by 24% in 2012. Heating degree days decreased by 17% in FY 2012. Natural gas usage for current and previous years is shown below.

From FY 2007, the water consumption baseline is 55 GAL/GSF. The target for FY 2012 is a 10% reduction relative to the baseline, or 50 GAL/GSF. The center posted an increase relative to the baseline in FY 2012, with a consumption of 58 GAL/GSF. Water consumption relative to FY 2007 is shown below.

Natural Gas Use

Paul Simon Job Corps Center13

Staff and students at Paul Simon (Chicago) JCC should continue efforts to reduce energy and water consumption. They can use strategies such as the following:

Lack of preventive maintenance on HVAC equipment is a significant factor in energy efficiency. The center staff should institute effective scheduled maintenance programs for all HVAC equipment to improve efficiency.

Educating the Operations and Maintenance staff on the importance of saving energy, changes in equipment operation, such as night setbacks, can greatly enhance the center’s overall savings. Recommended temperature settings should be consistently observed.

Repair or upgrade lighting systems. Replace incandescent lamps with compact fluorescent, and upgrade T12 fluorescent systems to T8 or T5. Promptly repair photocells on exterior lights to prevent the lights from operating during daylight hours.

Using the center’s staff and students to help save energy. Education will motivate staff and students to actively participate in conservation. Reminders about energy conservation should be posted throughout the center in the form of stickers and posters.

Maintain building exteriors. Repair or upgrade roof insulation, caulking and weather stripping, and door and window closing mechanisms. Maintain roofs and repair leaks promptly to keep insulation dry.

Aggressively monitor plumbing fixtures for leaks and make immediate repairs.

Ensure that all plumbing fixtures are set up for minimum water consumption (e.g.

low-flow shower heads, low-flow flush valves, and low-flow faucet aerators).

Always make sure that windows and doors are closed in air conditioned buildings.

Open windows and doors are an obvious waste of energy and should never be tolerated.

Maintain reasonable set points for thermostats. Try 68°F in the heating season and 75°F to 77°F in the cooling season.

Environmental Issues

There are no environmental issues at Paul Simon Job Corps Center.

Sustainability

All new construction, renovations and additions (including those by CTST) and operations and maintenance practices must comply with Executive Order 13514, “Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy, and Economic Performance” and “Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Buildings (as updated).” These principles include integrated design, optimization of energy performance, protection and conservation of water, enhancement of indoor environmental quality, and reduction of environmental impact of materials. These are detailed in JCH-814 Section 1.8, “High Performance and Sustainable Building Design” and DOL “Sustainable Buildings Implementation Plan.” Job Corps will pursue cost-effective, innovative strategies (e.g., ground source heat pumps) to minimize consumption of energy, water, and materials.

Accessibility Standards

The site and nine buildings at the center are in total compliance. Pump House Building 10 contains floor mounted equipment rendering the interior of the building not compliant with the accessibility standards. Compliance will be incorporated as major renovation projects are developed and new buildings are constructed. All future projects at the center will be in conformance with the GSA's Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standard for Federal Facilities and will include provisions for full accessibility.

Significant Issues

Significant issues impacting operations and/or learning and living environment at the center identified during the May 2012 Facility Survey are as follows:

Issues that need to be addressed

The queuing area inside Cafeteria Building 2 is not adequate and the overflow outdoor line is exposed to the elements Parking for visitors, non-residents and child care parents east of Building 1 is not adequate Center roads and parking are deteriorated Campus DDC control system is obsolete and inefficient

Mechanical rooms in Buildings 4 and 5 are crowded and access to equipment to perform routine maintenance is very difficult The air-cooled condensing units serving Administration/Medical-Dental Building 1 are obsolete The center lacks a multi-purpose space to accommodate the professional learning community (PLC) program, GED testing, orientation and CPP functions

East parking area is not adequate

Outdoor queuing line is exposed to the elements

Paul Simon Job Corps Center 18

PY12 Plan Overview

Paul Simon is a relatively new center which is well maintained. The majority of issues are related to site or programmatic deficiencies. The primary and immediate objective of the plan is to complete previously funded Regional projects and to address programmatic needs and site issues. Also, several long range plan objectives are discussed.

A building addition project is proposed for the Cafeteria Building 2. The addition would optimize the traffic flow, would increase the queuing line length inside the building and would protect the overflow queuing line outside the building against the elements.

A project to re-grade, re-surface and extend the east parking lot and to provide a new fence and gate would eliminate hazards due to ponding water and ice, would provide 12 additional parking spots for visitors, child-care drop off and non-resident students. The new parking lot would be outside the fenced campus perimeter which would greatly improve the campus security.

A project to rebuild and/or re-surface deteriorated roads and parking areas center-wide, would eliminate cracks, potholes, ponding and freezing water and would improve forklift operation in the loading area of the vocation and maintenance buildings.

A project to renovate the mechanical rooms in North Dormitory Buildings 4 and South Dormitory Building 5 would increase the mechanical room areas, would provide double doors to facilitate access to the equipment for routine maintenance and servicing and would restore the code required fire rating of the room assembly.

A project to replace the obsolete air-cooled condensing units in Administration/Medical-Dental Building 1 would improve the system’s performance and would save energy.

The center is actively involved with and committed to the PLC (professional learning community) concept and advocates bringing community personnel into the center to interact with the students, teachers and administration in order to enhance the curriculum.

A National project to build an addition to Education Building 6 would provide a new multi-purpose space/welcome center for outside guests and visitors, a dedicated GED classroom for center and community students and a separate wing for CPP classrooms and offices.

The project would improve the campus security by providing direct access to the public

Deteriorated pavement at main entry

Mechanical room at South Dormitory Building 5

Paul Simon Job Corps Center19 functions from outside the fenced perimeter. Additionally, the interior space of the building would be renovated to consolidate educational space and improve functionality.

A long range plans seeking to upgrade the existing obsolete DDC control system would help maximize the center’s energy savings.

Paul Simon Job Corps Center 20

The following are recommendations for CTST projects which would improve the facility while honing student skills:

Participate in drywall repairs and painting inside buildings throughout the center Participate in building renovation projects around the center Participate in grounds maintenance and landscaping Participate in community projects Participate in the construction of new signage to announce the upcoming turn into the campus road from the highway from both directions. This would facilitate access to the site as the existing sign is small and only visible from the south side of the road and can be easily missed.

This proposed development is described further on the following page through a Proposed Site Plan (supported by an Implementation Plan).
