Jackson Library Addition and Renovation Commissioning

One-Two Sentences The scope of this project will consist of a comprehensive, transformative renovation to the existing building. The Jackson Library opened in 1950, with the tower addition coming online in 1973, and minimally updated since. The current facility is not reflective of the evolving definition of a modern-day library: a dynamic, technology-rich learning environment and intellectual community hub. Growth in enrollment, new academic programs and library support activities have generated a need for an increase in programmatic space and make it critical that the existing spaces be renovated. The renovation will include updating the existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety and audiovisual systems. The project also includes addressing ADA issues. Located at the bustling hub that is the physical center of campus, the project is envisioned as a complex, phased construction of an occupied building. As such, implementation will require meticulous and proactive planning. The project will integrate high technology group studies, central convening spaces and increased capacity for use by individual students. It is envisioned as a nexus of student academic success and transformative research resources. The library is considered at the core of the University's intellectual space, where learning, knowledge creation, and community are fostered. Building Commissioning shall include the whole building, and specifically may include the following systems: A. Mechanical Systems - including applicable HVAC Systems, local central plant cooling systems, and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) validation. B.
