VIII. Capital Projects
Capital project and renovation work will be very active during the next six years. Currently, there are three capital projects in the queue: Tercero South Phase II, Segundo Service Center and Tercero South Phase III. There are also two significant renovation projects: Oxford Circle Dining Commons and Segundo High-rises. (See Appendix F). The impacts of these projects on bed space availability are illustrated in Appendix G.
The Tercero South Phase II project has a budget of 55M and includes the development of a new residence hall complex comprised of three, four-story buildings housing approximately 600 students. The project is scheduled for a fall quarter 2010 occupancy.
The Segundo Service Center project has a budget of 30M. The project will be a new facility encompassing 30,000 gsf to house services for the Segundo Area, including an advising center, area office, area service desk, computer center, convenience store, mailboxes and recreation area. This facility will also house administrative offices for Facilities Services, the maintenance shop for Segundo, the Student Housing Paint Shop and the Student Housing Upholstery Shop. The project also includes the demolishing of the old dining facility, construction of central mechanical infrastructure and the re-landscape of the Segundo Quad. The project is scheduled for occupancy fall quarter 2011.
The Tercero South Phase III project has an estimated budget of 50M and includes the demolishing of Leach Hall, the construction of two, four-story buildings to house 400 residents and the re-landscape of the area. This project will continue to be assessed as the bed count number could increase if needed and if financially feasible. The project will begin planning September 2009 with a planned occupancy date of fall quarter 2014. Leach Hall will be decommissioned July of 2012.
The Oxford Circle Dining Commons (OCDC) renovation project has a budget of 7M and includes the renovation of OCDC to incorporate platform style dining and full integration of sustainable practices. The project will be in construction spring 2009 through fall 2009 with a reopening scheduled for winter 2010.
The Segundo High-rises (Malcolm, Ryerson, Bixby, and Gilmore) will be renovated during the same construction window as the Segundo Service Center. During this time, the four buildings will be off-line for the academic year 2010-2011. This project will include installation of fire sprinkler systems, assessment of site piping, installation of carpet and room amenity upgrades. The budget for this project is still developing as a Tier1 Seismic Assessment is in process.
As part of Student Housing’s Capital Project Plan the decommissioning of Castilian Hall will take place after academic year 2010-2011. Castilian Hall requires significant renovation work and it is not cost effective to renovate the facility. Student Housing is evaluating the potential sale or privatized redevelopment of this property.
Additionally, actions will begin this fall 2008 to initiate a master plan for the redevelopment of Orchard and Solano Parks apartments. These properties are both more than 40 years old. We anticipate moving forward with redevelopment of either one or both sites by 2018. At the same time, given the current location and proximity of the Domes housing to Orchard Park, we will be assessing the future viability of these alternative living facilities in order to optimize land use.
Fire sprinkler installation within all residence halls that do not have them is in our Capital Project Plan. The Regan complex was our first fire sprinkler retrofit project and it was completed summer 2008. The next project will be installation at the Segundo High-rise buildings with completion by fall 2012. This will result in all Segundo residence halls having fire sprinkler systems.
Fire sprinkler retrofit projects will then move to the Cuarto Area. Webster Hall will have fire sprinklers installed summer of 2012 and Emerson Hall will have fire sprinklers installed summer of 2013. The Cuarto Area will then have full fire sprinkler installation. (Castilian Hall will be taken off-line during the summer of 2011 and will no longer be used by Student Housing. Therefore retrofit work will not be needed at that facility.)
Within the Tercero Area, the Leach Hall complex will be taken off-line summer of 2012 for demolition. The Pierce/Thille complex will be scheduled after the Tier 1 Seismic Assessment is complete, tentatively these facilities are slated for summer 2014 and summer 2015 installations. The Tercero Area will then have full fire sprinkler installation.
Orchard and Solano Parks apartments will not undergo fire sprinkler installation projects as these properties are being evaluated for redevelopment opportunities.
Student Housing will continue to install security cameras within residence hall facilities. All new projects incorporate the use of security cameras and a number of existing facilities have had cameras installed. These existing facilities are in the Cuarto Area where the properties are more vulnerable to intruders during academic breaks. Currently, the department is evaluating a network video recording solution for greater ease of camera deployment. We plan to install security cameras within all residence hall properties. These security cameras are not actively monitored but do store recordings for two to four weeks. The system is used as a deterrent and aid to police investigations.
