The Need
Physical Needs Summary• Many building systems are at the end of their useful lives
(piping, windows, doors, heating/cooling equipment).
• Many components of the building envelope are beyond their useful life, particularly at EHS.
• Many interior finishes are worn and should be replaced (there are some hazardous materials consequences).
• There are opportunities for increased energy savings.
• Most spaces lack air conditioning.
• In addition to addressing these physical needs is the need to alter spaces to accommodate changing educational programs.
