About this file
This is a project manual for the West Elementary Media Center renovation project at Kelloggsville Public Schools in Grand Rapids, Michigan, prepared by Tower Pinkster Titus Associates architectural firm. The project involves renovating the media center space and includes work across multiple construction disciplines including structural steel, masonry, carpentry, doors/windows, finishes, mechanical and electrical systems. Key components include installation of standing seam metal roof panels, EIFS exterior wall system, interior partitions, acoustical ceilings, flooring, painting, and various building accessories. The project manual contains detailed technical specifications organized according to CSI MasterFormat divisions.
The specifications outline requirements for materials, products, installation methods, quality assurance, and execution across all aspects of construction. Notable requirements include fire-rated assemblies, accessibility compliance, sustainability criteria for certain materials, and coordination between trades. While specific pricing terms are not included in these technical specifications, the document contains requirements for submittals, warranties, testing/inspection procedures, and closeout documentation. The specifications reference applicable building codes and standards that must be met during construction.
