Renovate Lecture Centers
September 2024
Background/Overview:
Constructed in 1969, the Lecture Center is the primary instructional facility of the campus. The building is unique because it is built underneath the Podium deck level. The building houses several large and medium sized lecture halls. While the buildings main concourse has been well maintained, several lecture centers have many deficiencies. Fixed seating is outdated and broken, carpet is worn, finishes are faded, lighting is substandard, and the audiovisual systems need replacement. Each lecture center is served by dedicated air handling units and fans that are in fair to poor condition.
The renovation of Lecture Centers is a multi-phased project to completely renovate all Lecture Center classrooms.
General Scope:
Full gut renovation of Lecture Centers instructional spaces, including demolition, abatement, new electrical, data & IT, ductwork and air handling units, fans, BMS control systems, LED lighting, ceilings, fixed seating, carpet, and audio-visual systems.

ADA Improvements
There was an Accessibility Upgrades Study completed in 2018 that’s purpose was to assess the accessibility of the Uptown and Downtown campuses and provide recommendations for greater accessibility. As a result of the study, the follow items were included in the project.
Elevator Extension
Extension of the Lecture Center elevator to the promenade podium deck level. This will address the inefficient accessible route between the Podium plaza level and the Basement and Sub Basement levels and will make use of an existing elevator shaft that exists between the Basement and Sub Basement.
Toilet Room Renovations, LC 009 and 016
Removal of barriers that may affect disabled individuals with the renovation of the toilet rooms for improved accessibility.|
