Frederick Community College Facilities Master Plan Chapter 5 The College Today 5-A-5 May, 2023 Braddock Hall – Building B Building Description Building Designation 2. Braddock Hall – Building B Number of Floors 2 Net Assignable Square Feet 18,401 Gross Building Area - GSF 34, 592 Net-to-Gross Efficiency 53.2% Year Constructed 1970 Renovations 1989, 2015 Additions 1994 (mechanical room addition) Contains Academic spaces – classrooms, computer labs, faculty offices General Condition Good Adequacy of Space Generally adequate for functions housed in the building Sprinkler System Fully sprinklered Providing space for administrative offices, Braddock Hall is one of the original campus buildings built in 1970. Previous renovations included the mechanical tower, knuckle extension to building C, replacement of the roof system with a metal standing seam roof, and recent interior finish renovations. Focus areas for capital renewal needs over a 10year period from 2023-2032 includes the following: • Exterior masonry sealant and cement board repair and recoating in the 4-5 year timeframe. • Repairs to north steps, railings, and brick sidewalls in the 1-2 year timeframe. • Exterior window/door replacement in the 3-5 year timeframe. Although the primary roof system (standing seam metal) was replaced in 1995, roof replacement for both the metal and flat singleply roof sections would fall outside the 10-year planning period. One of the three buildings A, B, and C that are informally linked to each other, the interior spaces and connections to buildings A and C are disorienting due to the angled relationship at the connecting knuckles. Classroom depths from corridor to exterior wall are either 29’-6” or a very narrow 21’-6”. The front-and-rear opening elevators do not meet current code requirements.
