Print date: 5/12/2016 of 69

Project Name: Building C Remodel / Renovation College: Phoenix College Overall Project Information Describe the overall nature or function of this project: The C Building project will transform a general studies and occupational educational area built in 1969 into a modern teaching facility for chemistry and physical sciences. The function of the C Building is to house and integrate the instructional and operational facilities, resources, and personnel of the Physical Sciences Department. This project will provide an environment that enhances opportunities for faculty members to cross-pollinate their ideas and collaborate to develop more interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary course content and resource. The project also will enhance our faculty members’ ability to teach their students in a modernized more efficient and safe setting. This will synergistically help our students to learn more easily and transfer their learning to many classes. The building will contain classroom and laboratory areas, as well as all the support and office space needed in order to provide a wide and expanding range of physical science instruction. The three floors will house facilities supporting the CHM (Chemistry), PHY (Physics), AST (Astronomy), ECE (Engineering), GLG (Geology), GCU (Cultural Geography), GPH (Physical Geography) and SUS (Sustainability) programs. Some of the spaces planned for the project will be usable for outreach and community use, such as the 73 seat lecture hall. Student success will be enhanced by combining all of the physical science resources into a single location. The building will be designed with the student’s needs first. Where is the project proposed location? 1202 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix, Arizona 85013

Does this project have any special physical or functional relationship or linkages to any other buildings or areas of the college? If so, please describe what the linkages are and to what other building/area. Physically, the C-building is connected by a second floor bridge to the E building just to the north. This connection will need to be preserved as it provides the elevator and an alternative way for students and staff to maneuver from one area to another. The technology, mathematics, applied science and forensic programs housed within the E building are related to, and targets of collaborations between departments at Phoenix College, and this physical link will enhance this effect. Functional connections to other disciplines and buildings on campus are made by providing spaces within the C-building that can be shared by other functions of the college and the teaching of students that come to take courses in the building but whose main area of study is housed elsewhere. The lecture hall and atrium are intended to be shared with other departments and with the community at large. These would be the key features of an outreach program that is essential to recruitment and enhanced learning plans. What is the requested date for initial operation? Fall Semester 2018. Substantial completion in January 2018 & fully operational for the 2018 fall semester. Depending on the actual schedule, some moves may be facilitated earlier. Board Conceptual Approval - April 2016 A/E-CMAR RFP - 3 months July 2016 Design/CD’s phase - 6-8 months February 2017 Construction: at least 10 months - December 2017 / January 2018 Punch, IT/AV set up, move in – (3 months) May 2018 Fall 2018 opening Does this project add new square footage area to the college? If so, approximately how much? Not outside the existing footprint of building. We want to capture some existing space under roof for security and student space purposes, including enclosing the center courtyard for student space and circulation if the budget allows. What is the estimated or budgeted capital cost and source of capital funds? $19.275 million from: $5.0 mil = 230-100-802400 College Auxiliary (project), $11.775 mil = 710-100-802400 State Aid Capital (project), $2.5 mil = 710-100-802400 (IT & Security) Describe the impact on the college's operational budget? (Include a detailed estimate of incremental staffing and operational costs- attach as separate sheets as needed) Since this is an existing building, The college anticipates no additional budget will be needed to operate it. In fact, it is expected that there will be cost savings as a result of reduced energy consumption due to modern systems and building envelope improvements. There are no plans to add faculty at this time.

Facilities/Maintenance and Operations: Doug McCarthy College Information Technology: Mark Koan College Safety: Doug Sparks What are the facility occupant’s high level goals and priorities for the project?

• First and foremost is providing the best quality physical science and engineering education to our students. Every aspect of the building, including comfort, ease of ingress/egress, space allocation for attending lectures, working sessions, discussions, private study and laboratory safety, as well as providing a safe and efficient way for the staff to provide their services with a minimum impact of the activities of the students will be provided and supported by the facilities of the building. ADA compliance will be built in rather than added on. Hazardous chemical waste will be accumulated and stored in a modern facility designed to the latest industry standards and jurisdictional regulations. Lecture spaces will be acoustically and visually enhanced to give every attending student full access to the material presented. Work and study areas will be designed to allow the intended activity and diminish accidental or intended misuse. Laboratory servicing will be done in the background, without disturbing the flow of students and staff from instructional areas.

• The design of the building will be inspiring, as a science facility should be. Phoenix College has several mid-century modern buildings (including C) designed by locally renowned Architect Ralph Haver that create a rich fabric of history for the campus. We value this design element and wish to expose and enhance vs. cover and reinterpret. We foresee a three-story entrance space, which is attended by a reception station, so that students, staff and visitors can be easily directed to their destination. There should be a plan to hang an interesting lighting or sculpture piece; possibly a Foucault pendulum from the ceiling space in the large atrium area if budget allows. The open area of the entrance way will be ideal for casual meetings and discussions. Student involvement will be enhanced through the design of the entrance. These ‘philosophical’ design elements will give the building itself the power to inspire our students into study and eventual STEM careers.

What are the critical attributes that this project must meet and be measured by to gauge its success in three to five years? The building will follow the high standards of construction and design established on campus. The guiding principles for the planning, design and construction of the project are:

A. The design should be modern, efficient and practical to better prepare our students to enter a competitive workforce.

B. The planning and design will be comprehensive in nature and aligned with the Phoenix College mission.

C. The design must be budget sensitive. D. The building should be designed and built with a LEED scorecard and perform activities as such,

to LEED Certified equivalent . E. The building should be durable, easy to maintain and efficient to operate. F. The planning and design must be safety and security conscious and provide controlled access to

the building, its contents and occupants.



Print date: 5/12/2016 10/5/15 of 69

G. The design will incorporate modern technology and utilize space in a practical and efficient manner.

H. The design should include architectural detailing that honor the historic mid-century design and pallet of materials to support the existing “Phoenix College Feel”.

I. Flow between the interior of the building and the associated outside space should be as seamless as practical.

J. Design elements should be done in a manner to minimize bird roosting and nesting opportunities.

K. As much as possible, the adjacent outdoor spaces related to this building should be developed concurrent with the construction of the building

L. The project’s success will be reflected in the extent to which it provides an increase in the flexible indoor teaching and learning spaces to meet the diverse academic needs of our growing student population.

M. The lecture rooms and laboratories should be designed to conform to current District and higher education best practices. The arrangement of presentation surfaces and instrumentation should be kept up-to-date. The acoustics and lighting of the rooms should be optimized to modern standards.

N. The laboratory rooms should be modernized to current District and higher education best practices. The arrangement of work benches and drawers for the students should be configured to provide a safe and not overcrowded working environment for them. Appropriate safety equipment is installed and readily accessible to instructors and students.

In about three years, this project will be open. The local newspaper wants to do a front-page story on the project after visiting it. What will the headline read?

• Modern Science Facility Opens on the Campus of Phoenix College

• Phoenix College opens a premier new state of the art facility for its Physical Sciences Program in an historic cornerstone campus building

General Facilities Improvements Needed

1. Replacement/upgrade of existing elevator car mechanical equipment and finishes. 2. Installation of a second elevator and assessment of existing stair(s) for code compliance. 3.

Beneath the right; left; and back wall counter, there are grouped 10, 6, and 6 and have individually keyed drawers. On the left and back wall counters, there should be open knee space for sitting areas. Four chairs should be available for the occupants. There should be wall mounted cabinets, with doors for light accessories 2 1/2 feet above the wall counters that goes up to the ceiling.

The SEM/EDS (electron microscope) with Phenom Pro suite broadcast/remote control server will be placed on the wall counter at the back of the room. The two optical microscopes with associated computers and the stereo microscope will be located on the left wall counter. The right wall counter will serve as the sample processing table. It will have a hand sink in the counter.


Standard HVAC is needed. This laboratory space has an occasional need to ventilate fumes generated from some volatile organic solvents. This room also requires 1 vocational/science lab general room exhaust that will be mounted on the ceiling. Some of the fumes could be Methanol, ethanol, acetone and dichloromethane. A snorkel hood will be needed for individual specimens. Once a specimen is created, the fuming stops. Electron microscopes have high sensitivity to air flows and movement from the normal air conditioning system, so the room will need a different type of air supply grille or system to deliver a low velocity air flow or even laminar type delivery.


One hand sink with gooseneck faucet with cold water and a purified water faucet. The right wall counter will serve as the sample processing table. It will have a hand sink in the counter. 1 sink, 1 cold-water faucet, 1 purified water faucet, 1 natural gas valve/port.
