1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report documents the results, conclusions and recommendations for the facility survey completed at the Blue Ridge Job Corps Center (JCC) the week of March 2, 2015. The U.S.

Department of Labor Engineering Support Contractor (ESC) team completed the survey on behalf of the Job Corps facilities program.

The facility assessment is a comprehensive process that provides objective and subjective analysis of existing and projected future condition of facilities. The facility assessment is a key component in understanding the life cycle, condition, and costs of buildings, structures, building systems, and assets within the Center. Specific objectives of this assessment include:

Provide an assessment of all facilities and identify related deficiencies Assess maintenance requirements Define renewal and replacement projects Identify potentially damaging or unsafe conditions Identify sustainability opportunities (e.g., waste recycling and energy and water conservation measures) Inventory accessibility in accordance with Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) Accessibility Standard Develop cost estimates and schedules for new or replacement projects and correction of deficiencies

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS

Background

Blue Ridge Job Corps Center is located on 5 acres of land withone off-site building within walking distance, in downtown Marion, Virginia. The Center is federally owned by The Department of Labor (DOL). Main Building 1 (Aleshire), formerly Marion College, was built in 1904 and is a candidate for listing on the National Registry of Historic Places. Building 1 comprises 57% of the Center’s gross square footage.

The Center currently has 90,786 GSF in eleven buildings. Blue Ridge Job Corps Center provides residential living, academic education, recreation and vocational training for 160 resident female students, 30 non-resident females and 2 non-resident males. The total 66,276 NSF at the Center is above the DOL suggested space guideline range of 48,500 to 62,200 NSF for a Center of this student population. At the time of the survey there was 1,040 NSF of vacant space.

Ownership

The Blue Ridge Job Corps Center was purchased in part by DOL from the Trustees of Roanoke College for $250,000.00 on July 18, 1978. The purchase conveyed 4.96 acres of land. Later, the Department of Labor purchased an additional 0.1381 acres from Joseph F. Ellis, Jr. and Suzanne Gibbs for $217,450.00 on April 6, 1995 for Building 7. The Government is responsible for the repair and maintenance of all buildings at this federally owned campus.

General Site Conditions

The Center is located at approximately 36°N latitude and 81°W longitude at about 2,100 feet above sea level. The average temperature for January ranges from a low of 21°F to a high of 43°F and the average temperature for July ranges from a low of 59°F to a high of 83°F . The average annual precipitation is 44 inches which includes an average annual snowfall of 5”.

This is a two level campus with a 14’ high slope that bisects the Center and clearly defines upper and lower levels. Main Building 1 (Aleshire) occupies the high point of the site. Several buildings to the west of the main building are built into the ridge with entrances at multiple levels. Medical Building 11 and Gymnasium Building 13 are on the lower level.

A flight of outdoor stairs leads from the Building 1 on-site parking area to the lower level entrance of Building 2, where the classrooms are located. This is the principal student path to the lower level. It is also possible to reach that level without using the steps by going around the Center using the sidewalks from Funk and North Streets. There is a concrete retaining wall along the east side of Funk Street as it descends to North Street. Funk Street is elevated two to five feet above campus grade elevations.

The wall has some stone deterioration and uneven settlement. Administration Office Building 6 and Maintenance Storage Building 4A are across Funk Street at the upper level of the campus.

Campus as seen from Main Street

Building 1 from the lower field

Building 7 is located off-center, about three blocks east of Main Building 1 (Aleshire). It houses nursing and medical vocations. This building is a former auto garage, built in 1920, which was later converted to a restaurant, then purchased by DOL. This building is deteriorated. Students must also walk back and forth to the main campus two or three times a day, which raises safety, security and logistical concerns.

Auto and service access to the campus is via the main entrance located on West Main Street with limited parking available on the west side of Building 1. Staff parking is accessed off North Street on the north side of the campus. Service access to the campus is limited to the parking lots just west of Building 1, a small service entry at Buildings 4 and 4A, and the parking lot on North Street.

There is truck access to the dumpster area behind Building 1 through the parking lot. There is also parking used by staff behind the fire station, not owned by the Center, just to the northeast.

Natural gas is provided to the Center by the Atmos Company and the service is adequate. Gas is metered at each building and is used for cooking in the cafeteria and building heating. Water is provided by the Town of Marion and there are six meters for eleven buildings (including Building 7). The water pressure and flow are adequate both for the domestic use and fire hydrants. The fire department is located in front of the main building, adjacent to the site. Sewer treatment service is also provided by the Town of Marion.

Primary overhead electrical power enters the Center from the west at two locations from utility-owned primary power overhead distribution lines along College Street. This service feeds pole-mounted step-down transformers with corresponding exterior building-mounted secondary utility meters for each individual building. 120/240V, 1-phase, 3-wire secondary service is utilized.

Perimeter site lighting is owned and maintained by the city. Electrical power is provided by Appalachian Power.

Main Building 1 (Aleshire) is utilized as the main service entrance and demarcation point for the main and off-center telephone system. It is where the main communication data closets are located.

The off-center location has dedicated phone service from the main campus. Separate data service entries point/demark and data cabinets are located at the off-center location. The internet and long distance communication system is a VoIP system implemented and managed by the Job Corps Data Center (JCDC). The local calls are managed by Century Links (formerly Embarq). The data communication system hardware is manufactured by Cisco. Each main campus building has Cisco switches and CAT 5e network to connect nodes with the computers. Only the routers in the main data closet are UPS-protected. The Center maintains five trunk lines and 15 dedicated phone lines.

Cable TV service is provided by XFinity/Comcast in the dormitories and recreation facilities. The main campus fire alarm is centrally monitored in Building 1. There is a separate fire and ADT security system in Building 7, the off-center facility. The telephone system has limited public address capabilities.

General Building Conditions

There are 10 buildings on campus and one off campus. Main Building 1 (Aleshire) was built in 1904; Buildings 3 and 4 in 1912, Buildings 5, 6 and 7 in the 1920s; Building 2 in 1970; and the rest of the Center’s buildings were built in the 1990s. Main Building 1(Aleshire) is a mixed use building.

It includes housing, education, food service, recreation, administration and storage and support functions. Many windows in the building do not function, there are gaps between the units and the frames, and they have no screens. The building is a candidate for the National Registry of Historic

Places. Academic/Recreation (Russell) Building 2 is a two story building with steel structure and metal roof. Buildings 3, 4, 5 and 6, previously residences, were renovated to their present function.

Nursing/Medical Assistance Building 7 is located off-campus. Its roof is framed with steel trusses supported by load bearing masonry walls. TEAP Classroom Building 8 and Medical Building 11 are wood structures. Gymnasium Building 13 has a steel structure and metal roof supported by load bearing masonry walls. Generally, with the exception of Building 7, the Center’s buildings are in good condition and function well.

Roofing Condition Issues

The Center has two buildings with roofing issues. The upper floors and wings of Main Building 1 are roofed with a 25 year old rolled roofing system. The Center is reporting minor leaks. Also, the gutter and downspout system is of residential quality and is damaged in places.

The second roofing issue is the single ply TPO membrane over Building 7, which is also 25 years old, and leaking at downspout locations.

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance practices at the Center appear good. The Center uses a computer based maintenance management system (CMMS) and only a few operations and maintenance deficiencies were identified during the survey. It has a comprehensive written Maintenance Plan.

Facility Assessment by Function

Student Housing

The Center provides housing for 160 resident women. The housing facilities are located in Main (Aleshire) Building 1 and Transitional Living (Warren House) Building 5.

The majority of bedrooms are located on the two upper floors of Main Building 1 (Aleshire) and are generally in good condition.

The upper levels of the building have three wings forming a “U” shape. Most of the bedrooms align along the central corridors of each wing. The toilet/showers, RA offices, lounges, storage and the rest of the bedrooms are located along the central corridor that connects the two wings. Thirty bedrooms have two beds per room with a total of 60 student capacity. Twenty-nine bedrooms have three students each with a total of 87 students. The four larger bedrooms have four students each with a total of 16 students. The three-bed bedrooms contain at least one bunk bed, and one bedroom on each floor has been converted to a small lounge. The building has four floors but no elevator. The dormitory layout is adequate and functions well.

Transitional Living (Warren House) Building 5 houses 11 students. Formerly a two story residence, the house has been renovated for transitional living. There are five one-bed, and three two-bed bedrooms. Each bedroom has a private bathroom. On the first floor there are a large living/dining room, a kitchen, three bedrooms and laundry room. On the upper floor there are five bedrooms. The foundation wall in the basement has cracks and leaks, which is being addressed by a funded deficiency. Otherwise, the building is in good condition and functions well.

Transitional Living, Building 5

Education

Education functions are located in several buildings on campus and the one off-campus, Building 7.

Academic classrooms are located in the lower level of Academics/Recreation (Russell) Building 2.

Restrooms in this building are deteriorated, and there is only one small toilet on the ground floor.

Otherwise, the building is in good condition. The academic classrooms layout functions well.

CPP classrooms were created in Building 1 and function well. The TEAP classroom is located in Building 8, which is next to Medical Building 11. The building is in fair condition and functions well except it lacks an accessible entrance.

Medical Office Support and Medical Assistant vocations, the learning resource center and several counselors’ offices are located on the ground floor of Building 1. The vocation space is in fair condition and functions well. During heavy rains, water infiltrates the southwest wall and floods the CMA classroom, as well as the adjacent restroom.

Licensed Practical Nurse and Certified Nursing Assistant vocations are located in Nursing/Medical Assistant Building 7, three blocks east, away from the main campus boundary (see photo). This creates security, safety and logistical problems since students need to travel to and from this building two or three times a day on a public street that lacks sidewalks. A post Facility Survey effluent flooding of the building by the Marion sewer system is also a current problem. It has necessitated the LPN and CNA vocations to be temporarily located in the seldom used auditorium in Building 1. The Center and Region reports concerns by the Board of Nursing on the condition of the Building 7 learning environment.

Food Service

Food Service facilities are mostly located on the first floor of Main (Aleshire) Building1, with dry food and equipment storage areas awkwardly located on the ground floor down a covered exterior stair. A small dumb waiter somewhat assists in moving dry storage between levels. The facilities are in good condition but are reported as very congested and students frequently must wait for seating. The salad bar is defective and poorly located.

Recreation

Recreation functions are located in Gymnasium Building 13, the upper second level of Academic/Recreation (Russell) Building 2, the upper level of Building 3, and an assembly hall in Main (Aleshire) Building

1. The gymnasium is in good condition, and functions well. The recreation room located on the upper level of Academic/Recreation

Building 2 contains a weight-lifting area, TV lounge and table

games. The roof was recently replaced, however the vinyl-faced insulation just below the roof deck is partially missing, deteriorated and damaged. The assembly hall in Main (Aleshire) Building 1 is in good condition but is now being used by HOT vocations due to flooding in Building 7.

Arts & Crafts is located in a former culinary arts kitchen in Arts and Crafts/Transportation Building

3. The arts and crafts room is confined due to existing kitchen equipment that was never removed, and the interior is worn and finishes are faded. The lower level of this building is vacant and deteriorated. There is a student library on the 4th floor of Main (Aleshire) Building 1 under the cupola. This limits use of the space for the male non-resident students, who can only access the space through the stairs that connect and are open to the female dormitories. There is one non-resident lounge, but the male non-resident students are not allowed access to the lounges in the female-only dormitories. Having recreation spaces dispersed in different buildings increases the need for supervision.

The outdoor recreation facilities include a small field and a pavilion, which are adequate, although the field is too small for ball games.

Administration

Administration functions are located on the first floor of Main (Aleshire) Building 1 and in Administration Office Building 6. Both locations are adequate and function well.

Medical

The medical function is located in Medical Building 11, which is in good condition and functions well. There is no dental facility and the Center contracts dental services off-site.

Storage/ Support

The former gymnasium located in Main (Aleshire) Building 1 is now used as a warehouse. The warehouse is in good condition and functions well. Maintenance and maintenance storage are located in Maintenance Shop Building 4 and Maintenance Storage Building 4A, respectively. Both buildings are in good condition and function well.

Environmental Management

There is limited encapsulated asbestos tank and pipe insulation in Building 1 (Aleshire) and Building

5. Older flooring in Buildings 1, 2, 3 and 5 has non friable asbestos. Buildings 7, 11 and 13 have not had radon tests.

Resource Use/Conservation

Energy and Water Conservation

Energy and water use and associated trends are summarized below for the Blue Ridge JCC.

Background: Table 1 has current energy and water consumption and cost. The Blue Ridge JCC electricity cost is lower than Job Corps averages, while natural gas and water costs are higher.

Table 1: Energy and Water Statistics – FY2014 Energy Consumption Cost Unit Cost Average Cost in

Job Corps Electricity 1,032,366 kWh $78,364.42 $0.076/kWh $0.114/kWh Natural Gas 49,728 CCF $45,279.06 $0.911/CCF $0.881/CCF Water 3,013 kgal $31,930.44 $10.599/kgal $7.686/kgal Total $155,573.92

This analysis is based on the latest energy information available. FY2014 data are the latest entire year available for analysis.

Energy and Water Data Issues:

The following data issues have been identified from the Center supplied data:

The electricity consumption for November FY2009 is much higher than the average consumption for the same month in other years.

The natural gas consumption for December and February FY2009, and June FY2014 is much lower than the average consumption for the same months in other years.

The water consumption for October through March FY2009, and July FY2010 is much lower than the average consumption for the same months in other years.

The data issues identified above should be verified and corrected as necessary by the Center on Energy Watchdog.

Benchmarking: Table 2 is based on the EO13423 goals of 3% annual energy reduction since the FY2003 baseline and 2% annual water reduction since the FY2007 baseline.

Sustainability

DOL is committed to implementing initiatives in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in the Next Decade. As a result, Job Corps centers have been adopting practices aimed at reducing energy, water, and waste. Centers have also been implementing other measures such as enhancement of indoor environmental quality, storm water management, reduction of environmental impact of materials, green cleaning practices, environmentally preferred purchasing, integrated pest management and recycling. Furthermore, new construction shall comply with the latest version of the Job Corps Handbook (JCH) 814 which specifies sustainable design criteria.

In response to these goals, Blue Ridge JCC has implemented no initiatives:

The Center does not appear to have a recycle program, and waste reporting is inconclusive The Center does not have a Green Purchasing Policy The Center does not appear to practice green cleaning measures Center does not have a chartered Green Committee

A list of nine specific sustainability indicators for the Center is located in the Site Descriptions section of Volume II.

Accessibility Standards

The survey included an accessibility assessment for this center. Because of the two-level campus site plan and the age of the main Center buildings, the upper level of the Center is largely not accessible to persons with physical disabilities. The recently constructed Medical Building 11 and Gymnasium Building 13 on the lower level do meet 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. All areas of newly constructed buildings, facilities and altered or leased buildings/facilities as well as the existing buildings and structures, shall comply with ABA to provide reasonable accommodation as required by federal disability and non-discrimination laws. All future projects at the Center will include provisions for full accessibility. These corrective actions could be accomplished by the Center forces and Centers funding (O&M) or by qualified contractor and Regional/National/Lessor funding.

The survey team has identified IIC deficiencies related to the accessibility of buildings as defined by GSA’s ABA Accessibility Standard for Federal Facilities. Funding for immediate and annual accessibility projects will be based on the identification of priorities, funding availability and DOL policy and directions.

Historic Preservation Issues The Blue Ridge Job Corps Center campus site was originally the Marion Junior College, established in 1873 as a women’s college. Main Building 1 is a handsome Greek Revival landmark built in 1904 and is a candidate for the National Registry of Historic Places.

Health and Life Safety Issues

A summary of deficiencies identified or validated during this survey can be found on Table ES-2 – (Facility Survey Assessment Results and Recommendations). The table identifies all Health and Life Safety Deficiencies funded subsequent to, or as a result of the survey visit, as well as previous deficiencies that were validated during this survey. Life Safety and Non-Life Safety Deficiencies are summarized in four categories each:

Recently PY Funded Deficiencies Prior Funded Deficiencies O&M (These deficiencies are not funded by CRA funding) Unfunded Deficiencies

3.0 - Planning Analysis

The purpose of this section is to present objectives, assumptions and specific space, and cost data considered during the planning process. This information is considered with specific existing condition issues in the development of a long range plan. The goal is to provide the Job Corps Program with the best living and learning environment at the best value.

The objectives of this analysis include the following:

To provide adequate space for all functions to maximize effective day to day operations.

To develop current and new space to enhance the living and learning environment.

To remove or reutilize excess space that is inappropriate for long range Center user.

To utilize existing buildings effectively.

To consolidate and cluster like functions to: minimize daily pedestrian travel by students, instructors and administrators, and better zone daytime and nighttime activities to assist security operations and increase site safety.

To develop a campus style setting with the inclusion of small and large (green) gathering spaces which promote formal and/or informal activities and interaction between students, instructors and administrators.

To develop an implementation strategy to minimize the impact on center operations.

To provide phased development to reduce impacts on Job Corps National Construction Budget.

To create a center which fits the Job Corps model.

The analysis typically is based on the following assumptions:

1. The contract size at the time of the facility survey is used for square footage analysis and long range planning.

2. The vocational program at the time of the facility survey is applied for long range planning.

Any additional assumptions made during the development of the long range plan are presented in the Section 4.0 Recommendations of this report. Figure 1 outlines the long range planning process for the Job Corps Program.

Each building has been assigned a building condition based on the physical condition of the building and the impact of that condition on the functional use of the facility.

Assignment of the condition “good” means that the facility condition is not impacting the functional use of the facility. A facility can have deficiencies of a minor nature and still be considered good.

Assignment of the condition “fair” means that the facility condition IS impacting the functional use of the facility and that the deficiencies are limited to less than 30% of the replacement value. Correction of the identified deficiencies should allow the building to return to “good” status.

Assignment of the condition “poor” means that the facility condition IS SIGNIFICANTLY impacting the functional use of the facility and/or that the identified deficiencies represent more than 30% of the replacement value. Generally, a “poor” rating would mean that “gut renovation” or replacement/demolition is the envisioned solution.
