The roof as replaced (2014) with a single-ply roof membrane. Interior finishes have been renewed or replaced over the life of the Center. The rambling layout of the building is disorienting and not very efficient. Corresponding way-finding is inherently difficult. Space is insufficient for existing visual and performing arts programs, and students will find few gathering spaces to assemble and/or study. The theater is the largest assembly space with seating on campus. Focus areas for capital renewal needs over a 10year period from 2023-2032 includes the following: • Exterior masonry cleaning, sealing and sealant repair in the 4-6 year timeframe. • Replacement of the single-ply roof system in the 6-8 year timeframe. • Maintenance/repair of interior finishes with finish replacements in the 6-8 year timeframe. • Replacement of the heating/cooling distribution systems near the end of the 10-year study period. • Difficult access to server room, co-location of servers in electrical room, which is unconditioned.
