Document Description
The proposed project includes fire and life safety improvements within and on the building façade of the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) building. Scope of work includes alterations to the degraded exterior wall panels, installation of a fire sprinkler system/associated fire alarm updates, egress path and common space repairs, and limited fire-rated assembly modifications. The exterior concrete wall panels of the building that forms the building enclosure are in the advanced stages of deterioration (cracking panels, separating windows, spalling concrete). This is resulting in a safety hazard due to falling debris and allowing extensive water intrusion into the building. A second component of the project includes the construction and installation of an approximately 280 square-foot pump house for fire and life safety compliance, located adjacent to the project site in an existing paved service yard area.
