2004 Proposed Projects

Priority	Bldg #	Building	Scope	Estimate	Justification **
1	009	Memorial Chapel	Widen doorways and install new doors and hardware to rooms 1101, 1102, 1110, 1116, and 1120. Update interior signage.	$72,500	The Memorial Chapel is inarguably one of the most public facilities on the campus. Existing doorways are not wide enough to allow wheelchair passage into a student lounge area, the main office, a meeting room, a small chapel, and a larger chapel. Many weddings are held in the larger chapel. This project is in response to a specific complaint to the Campus' Disability Support Service and at the request of the Director of Conferences & Visitors Services. In addition, the existing interior signs do not comply with current ADA guidelines. The Chapel's limited revenue received from rental of its facility is insufficient to fund these much needed modifications.
2*	224	Computer & Space Sciences Building	Modify numerous toilet rooms (original building: B0219, 0217, 0221, 1217, 1221, 2217, 2221, 3217, 3221, 4217, & 4221; new building: 1414, 1438, 2406, 2442, 3406, 3443, 4410, & 4452) and replace drinking fountains (original building: 1290, 2198, 2290, 3198, 3290, and 4290).	$163,400	The toilets located on principal classroom/laboratory floors of the originally constructed building were designed and constructed using accessibility standards that are now obsolete. In addition, noncompliant faucet levers needs to be replaced in a few toilet rooms within the newer addition. Only toilet rooms adjacent to the elevator will be renovated to comply with current design standards. The drinking fountains in the originally constructed building also will be replaced to provide accessible drinking water service to the high volume of students, faculty, and visitor traffic.
3	221	Astronomy Observatory	Provide an accessible unisex toilet room, parking space, and ramp.	$78,000	The Observatory hosts periodic public events. However, the facility does not have proper parking, access, and restroom to accommodate wheelchair users.
4*	047	Woods Hall	Replace drinking fountain (2101).	$1,000	The existing drinking fountain in this academic building is not accessible
5*	227	Jull Hall	Provide one new women's toilet room on first floor and modify existing men's toilet room (1117MT).	$61,800	There are no accessible women's toilet rooms in the building which has classrooms, faculty offices, and research labs. The listed men's toilet room on the main floor of the building has been partially renovated over several years but remains not fully accessible. This project will provide a set of toilet rooms fully compliant with current design standards.
6*	233	Susquehanna Hall	Modify men's toilet rooms (1102A, 2102A, 3104, and 4102).	$4,000	The building houses toilets that are nominally accessible since they were designed and installed using obsolete standards. These improvements will provide facilities that are compliant with current accessibility standards.
7*	093	Engineering Annex (formerly called Engineering Research Building)	Modify toilet rooms (0102, 0104, 0201E, and 0201F).	$120,000	The only toilet rooms in this academic building which includes staff and GA offices, research laboratories, open labs, and a classroom do not comply with current accessibility standards. Due to the configuration and condition of the toilet rooms, a significant amount of work is required to make them ADA compliant. Therefore, each restroom will be gutted and constructed anew.
8*	143	Benjamin Building	Replace drinking fountains (0299, 1299, 2299, and 3299).	$7,400	The existing drinking fountains located on each floor of the building are not accessible. Considering the high volume of student and faculty traffic, the drinking fountain replacement is a high priority.
			FY 2004 Funding Total	$508,100
