I. IntroductionA. Project Evolution

The master plan for Schrenk Hall has evolved over many years. In 2004, acomprehensive facility planning and programming effort was completed by The ClarkEnersen Partners. In 2011, Phase 1 of the plan was implemented with the construction ofBertelsmeyer Hall which houses Chemical and Biological Engineering. In 2015, The ClarkEnersen Partners were hired to implement Phase 2 of the plan which includes a partialrenovation of Schrenk West including infrastructure upgrades. In addition to the Phase 2design, Clark Enersen was asked to re-evaluate the 2004 master plan and confirm theability of Shrenk Hall to house the chemistry and biology departments. The results arethe communicated in this new master plan document.

The space requirements identified in Sections III and IV were determined throughinterviews with current faculty and input from Dr. Stephen Roberts, Dean of Arts,Sciences and Business.

Additional facility needs and infrastructure requirements were reviewed with the MS&TDesign and Construction Management and Facilities Operations groups.

II. Facility AnalysisA. Overall Existing Facility Analysis

Current function, operation and layout of both Schrenk East and West were analyzedand confirmed throughout the master planning effort via:

· Interviews with current faculty· Interviews with Facilities Operations group· Field investigation

In general, as a whole, the facility infrastructure is at the end of its usable life and needsto be replaced. The envelope of Schrenk West is in far better shape than that ofSchrenk East. It is our recommendation and the direction of MS&T that Schrenk West berenovated in its entirety and Schrenk East be demolished and rebuilt.

B. Existing Architectural Analysis

The Schrenk Hall complex consists of two separate buildings built at different times thatare connected by a wing of Schrenk West that attaches to the west façade of SchrenkEast.

Schrenk EastSchrenk East is the first building and was originally constructed in 1940. It is a 4 storystructure build of cast in place concrete. The façade is classical in nature with tan brickmasonry to match the surrounding buildings and punched glazed openings. Its interiorhouses laboratory research space, laboratory teaching space, a large lecture hall, andfaculty offices. Interior partitions are a mix of plaster, concrete block, and structural tile.Ceilings are plaster and acoustical lay-in and floors are concrete.

As a whole, Schrenk East is in major need of replacement. It has a low floor to floorheight of 12’-4” which is prohibitive for modern laboratory construction.

Schrenk WestSchrenk West was designed constructed in 1971 and sits directly west of Schrenk Eastwith a wing that connects the two buildings. It also is a 4 story structure built of cast inplace concrete. The exterior façade is brutalist in design and consists of tan brickmasonry, expressive precast concrete detailing and banding, and punched glazedopenings. Its interior houses laboratory research space, laboratory teaching space,

and faculty offices. Interior partitions are glazed concrete masonry units and brick.Ceilings are acoustical lay-in and floors are VCT.

Overall, Schrenk West is overall is in much better shape than Schrenk East; however,there are still elements of the building shell that are in need of upgrade. Currently theroof is at the end of its usable life and is in need of replacement. The existing roof drainsdo not have overflows associated with them. The exterior windows are old, failing andlacking the current energy efficiency desired from modern construction. Thesedeficiencies need to be corrected with the corresponding work in phase 2 and 3.

C. Existing Mechanical and Electrical Analysis

Mechanical

The original design for Schrenk East was completed in 1940, with several changesoccurring during its lifespan, the largest in 1952 and 1981. Schrenk West was designed in1971 with a major HVAC renovation in 1995.

Air Handling SystemsFor Schrenk East, the entire facility is served by a mix of unit ventilators, fan coils, andradiant means. The units are far beyond their useful life. In West, there are two existingair handling units (AHUs) located in the basement mechanical room on the lower floorand penthouse, respectively. Both existing units are recirculating type with chilledwater and heating water coils. The units are tied together with ductwork for redundantoperation. Although the fan motors were replaced in 1995, the units are also beyondtheir useful life.

Exhaust SystemsThe original exhaust system in East was replaced in 1981 with two large general exhaustfans. The original exhaust system in West was also replaced, but in 1995, with severalhigh-plume dilution blowers scattered throughout the roof. Again, these systems haveoutlived their useful lives and are in need of replacement.

Air DistributionThe majority of the existing spaces in Schrenk East are served by fan coil units, unitventilators, and other radiant heaters. Localized general exhaust and make-up air isalso provided in various spaces and is routed to large units on the roof. The spaces inSchrenk West are served by a dual-duct recirculating VAV system. In 1995, the dual-duct was retrofitted with Phoenix Control valves. Localized fume and general exhaust isalso provided in various spaces.

Master Plan

2.2

Chilled and Heating Water SystemsBoth the East and West portions of Schrenk are served by a campus chilled and heatingwater system designed in 2012. The system uses various geothermal chillers installedthroughout campus. Schrenk West also has a swing chiller in the basement mechanicalroom that injects chilled water into the campus loop as needed. This unit was recentlyrebuilt and must maintain its operation during the renovation process of Schrenk Hall.The chilled and heating water not only serve the air handling units in the basement andpenthouse of West, but also the terminal fan type units in East.

Steam SystemAn existing steam service has been abandoned in Schrenk West when the campusheating water system was installed. Additionally, a new boiler was designed in 2012 toserve the existing radiant units in Schrenk East.

ControlsTemperature controls for the majority of Schrenk Hall are achieved through an existingair compressor serving pneumatic thermostats and valves. These controls are not up tocontemporary or campus-wide standards and will be replaced with DDC controlsduring the renovation.

Plumbing SystemsThere are several plumbing systems circulated throughout both Schrenk East and West,which include but are not limited to: domestic cold water, domestic hot water andrecirculation, natural gas, pure water, and compressed air. All of these systems haveoutlived their useful lives and have several dead legs that have been abandoned.

Fire Protection SystemsSchrenk Hall is currently served by standpipe and hose connections in the stairwells.

Electrical

Primary Electrical Service Entrance and EquipmentSchrenk West’s electrical service is fed from the campus medium voltage loop. Themedium voltage electrical service enters the basement of Schrenk West at the northend of building. The main electrical service entrance step-down transformer andswitchgear are located here. Schrenk East is fed via a medium voltage tap of theswitchgear in Schrenk West’s basement. The tapped medium voltage enters a padmounted switch and transformer on the exterior west side of Schrenk East beforeentering the building. The transformers and switchgear serving both East and West arewell beyond their reliable service life and are increasingly liable to dangerousmaintenance.

Power Distribution SystemSchrenk West and East’s electrical distribution are comprised of 208V, 3 phase electricalswitchgear, distribution panels, and branch panelboards located throughout all floorsof the buildings. A majority of these pieces of equipment in West are original to thebuilding and are past their useful life. The distribution equipment in East was replaced in1981 but is past its reliable service life as well.

Lighting SystemsLighting within both buildings consists of recessed fluorescent troffers, fluorescentpendant fixtures, and downlights. A ballast and lamp combination upgrade has beencompleted within the last 10 years to improve the energy efficiency of all fluorescentfixtures. Most spaces utilize manual toggle switch control for the lighting. Currentspaces without occupancy/vacancy/daylight sensing do not meet current energycode.

Standby/Emergency Power SystemsAll life safety and optional standby loads within the buildings are powered by batterysources upon loss of “normal” power. This is not characteristic of a moderneducational/research science building.

Fire Alarm SystemThe main fire alarm panel for Schrenk West is centrally located in the first floor corridor.This addressable Notifier panel was installed within the past few years and ties into themain fire alarm panel in Schrenk East. All notification and initiation devices have beenupgraded to be compatible with the new panel.

D. New Architectural Analysis

The master plan for the Schrenk Hall complex architecturally consists of a full interiorrenovation of existing Schrenk West and a complete demolish and rebuild of SchrenkEast.

Schrenk WestThe second and third floors of Schrenk Hall West will be renovated in Phase 2 of themaster plan. These floors will have a full floor plate interior remodel as well as exteriorwindow replacement. Design and layout will be focused around an open laboratoryconcept maximizing flexibility and providing tremendous adaptability. The new secondand third floors of Schrenk West will house chemistry research laboratories, laboratorysupport space, faculty office spaces, and new restroom facilities. New interiorconstruction will consist of drywall partitions, interior glazing for views between spaces

where possible and wood and hollow metal doors. Ceilings will be acoustical lay-inwith drywall accents at certain design areas. Floors will consist of terrazzo corridors, VCTin the laboratory spaces, and carpet tile in the offices. Exterior window replacementwill be with energy efficient double glazed windows.

The ground and first floors of Schrenk West will be renovated in Phase 3 of the masterplan. These floors will also receive a full floor plate interior remodel with new exteriorwindow replacement. In addition to the interior renovation, the exterior of the façadewill receive a new skin to freshen up this elevation as well as integrate the design withthe new Schrenk East building. The new first floor of Schrenk West will house chemistryteaching laboratories, laboratory support spaces, and new restroom facilities. Newinterior construction will match that done in Phase 2. This includes interior drywallpartitions, interior glazing for views where possible, and wood and hollow metal doors.Ceilings will be acoustical lay-in and drywall accents at certain areas. Floors will consistof terrazzo corridors, VCT in the laboratory spaces, and carpet tile in the offices. Thereplacement exterior windows will be with energy efficient double glazed windows.

Schrenk EastSchrenk Hall east will be fully demolished and replaced with a new 85,000 structure inPhase 3. This new building will be located in the approximate location of the oldSchrenk East building and will connect with the renovated Schrenk West building westfaçade creating an open interactive lobby area. Structurally, the new Schrenk Eastbuilding will be constructed of cast in place reinforced concrete for the main structureand structural steel framing for the penthouse and lobby connection. Exteriormateriality will consist of tan masonry and cast concrete to match existing Schrenk Westas well as other surrounding buildings on campus to fit into the context of the area. Theexterior will be enhanced with large expanses of energy efficient glazing, especially inthe lobby and other open areas. This will allow abundant natural daylighting into thespaces as well as ample views to the exterior. Prefinished metal panels will also be usedon the exterior of the building to further define the different spaces within the building; itwill also be used for sun shading control, and express the high tech nature of the newfacility.

The new Schrenk East building will be a 4 story building, with a penthouse atop, similarto the existing Schrenk West to which it connects. Design and layout will be focusedaround an open laboratory concept maximizing flexibility and providing tremendousadaptability. The ground floor will consist of classroom spaces, teaching laboratoriesand support spaces, vivarium space, and student interactive spaces. First floor willhouse teaching classrooms to match the renovated Schrenk West, department officesfor both Biology and Chemistry and student interactive areas. Second and third floorsare virtually identical in layout and consist of research laboratory space, faculty office

space, student spaces, and student interactive spaces. All floors will have a restroomand building services core.

Interior construction will consist of drywall partitions and interior glazing to allow viewsand daylighting into adjoining spaces, and wood and hollow metal doors. Ceilings willconsist of acoustical lay-in, drywall accents, and painted exposed structure. Flooringwill be terrazzo in the corridors and open areas, VCT in the laboratory and supportspaces, and carpet tile in the office areas as well as student interaction areas.

E. New Mechanical and Electrical Analysis

Mechanical

As a whole, the majority of the MEP systems in Schrenk West will be replaced. NewSchrenk East will be fed from separate services with all new equipment and distribution.

Air Handling SystemsIn Phase 2, a new AHU will be installed in the penthouse of West to serve the renovated2nd and 3rd floors. An additional AHU may be necessary in Phase 2 to serve general non-lab spaces, which will also be installed in the penthouse. In Phase 3, the AHU in thebasement of West will also be replaced and new air handling for Schrenk East will beinstalled. All units will use modern design elements such as fan arrays, advancedcontrols and setbacks, and energy recovery.

Exhaust SystemsThe various exhaust fans serving West will be reworked in Phase 2 to combine into asingle manifold with an energy recovery loop. The fan array will contain 4-6 high-plumedilution units with staging to increase efficiency. The fans will also include VFD’s for soft-start and balancing capability. Although the ground and first floors of West are notincluded in Phase 2, the localized exhaust in these spaces will be routed to the newfans. In Phase 3, the new East building will also be fitted with a similar manifoldedexhaust system as necessary.

Air DistributionFor both buildings in Phases 2 & 3, the antiquated dual-duct and fan coil unit approachfor air distribution will be replaced with DDC controls and a single VAV type system.Any lab space will be once-through air, while general spaces will maintain therecirculating air system.

Master Plan

2.4

Chilled and Heating Water SystemsThe campus chilled and heating water system installed in 2013 will remain in bothbuildings to serve all HVAC equipment, as well as the chiller in the basement of West.New secondary building pumps will be installed as required for both buildings duringPhases 2 & 3.

Steam SystemThe existing steam boiler installed in 2013 will be analyzed and potentially reworked fornew Schrenk East to serve any future needs. However, this will be determined duringsubsequent design phases.

ControlsTemperature controls for new Schrenk East and Schrenk West will be a new DDC typesystem that will tie into the campus backbone.

Plumbing SystemsThe abandoned and outdated plumbing systems in West will be replaced with newmains routed to 2nd and 3rd floors during Phase 2. In Phase 3, these mains will extend toground and 1st floors of west. The new East building will have all new services routedthrough the facility as required.

Fire Protection SystemsTo bring the building up to current standards for the space type, a wet-pipe sprinklersystem will be added during Phases 2 and 3.

Electrical

Primary Electrical ServiceIn Phase 2, A new primary electrical service entrance will be connected to the campusmedium voltage loop. A new pad mounted switch and pad mounted transformer willbe located on grade on the exterior north side of Schrenk West. A new main electricalroom on lower level will be built to house the new electrical distribution equipment. Theexisting service entrance distribution and service equipment for Schrenk West will beremoved in their entirety. In Phase 3, the new East building will be served from a newpad mounted switch and transformer on the exterior of the building. Exact location ofequipment and tie in to the campus medium voltage loop will be determined insubsequent design phases.

Power Distribution SystemIn Phase 2, a new main switchboard, fed from the new service entrance, will beinstalled in a newly built main electrical room located on the lower level of Schrenk

West. New vertical busway, distribution panels, and branch panelboards will beinstalled to serve 2nd floor, 3rd floor, and the penthouse. New stacked electrical roomswill be built on all floors to house the new equipment. Existing switchboards andpanelboards on lower level and 1st floor will remain and will be back fed from the newmain switchboard. In Phase 3, the new East building will have a new, separateelectrical distribution system from Schrenk West installed throughout. Schrenk West willhave the remaining, original distribution panels and branch panelboards replaced onlower level and first floor.

Lighting SystemsIn Phase 2, all light fixtures and controls on 2nd floor, 3rd floor, and Penthouse of SchrenkWest will be replaced. New lights and control system for lower level and first floor ofSchrenk West and the new East building will be installed in Phase 3. Lighting systemsthroughout the facility will be designed in accordance with University design guidelines,IES recommendations and applicable energy codes. Occupancy sensors will be usedthroughout most spaces to provide automatic off of lighting loads during unoccupiedtimes. In addition, where daylighting opportunities exist, the use of daylightingcontrolled lighting systems will be investigated.

Standby/Emergency Power SystemIn Phase 2, Schrenk West will be provided with a diesel driven generator system. InPhase 3, the new East building will be provided with a separate diesel driven generatorsystem to serve its spaces. The systems for each building will be used to supply coderequired emergency and life safety loads. These loads will include but may not belimited to emergency egress and exit lighting, any essential HVAC loads, alarm andcommunication systems, and fire command center equipment. In addition to theseCode required loads some capacity will be provided for standby loads as coordinatedwith the owner. 4-pole automatic transfer switches (with bypass isolation) andemergency distribution panelboards will be installed throughout the facility to servestandby and emergency loads. Load shedding/demand reduction will be investigatedand considered when sizing the generator system.

Fire Alarm SystemIn Phase 2 and 3, a digital, addressable type, fire alarm control system with voiceevacuation capabilities will be provided to satisfy all Life Safety and Coderequirements. The system will be designed in accordance with all current Codes andstandards, and will also satisfy all current accessibility guidelines. In addition, allnecessary connections will be made for monitoring by the central campus system.
