The project includes complete demolition of interior spaces including flooring, interior walls, ceiling, HVAC, lighting and roofing. Other proposed improvements include new fire-rated walls and doors, accessible door hardware new flooring, HVAC improvements, new building controls, electrical and fire alarm upgrades, and technology upgrades. The roof and the existing exterior walls will receive upgraded insulation to improve the thermal performance of the building.

A new covered entry and plaza will enhance the visibility of the program and provide a defined entrance to the building. The building contains asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that will be removed as part of demolition.

Notice of Exemption
- Exempt Status
- Categorical Exemption
- Type, Section or Code
- • Section 15301 Class 1 (Existing Facilities)
- Reasons for Exemption
- The proposed project qualifies for the Class 1 exemption because it involves minor renovations and alteration of an existing academic facility, which is a public facility, on the California State University, Bakersfield campus. The renovation includes upgrades to meet current public health and safety standards. The project would infill a currently covered entry, adding approximately 88 square feet to the building footprint, but would not otherwise expand the building’s square footage or capacity. The project does not meet any of the exceptions provided in CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 which preclude use of the applicable categorical exemption.
