Document Description
The proposed project will provide seismic improvements to Powell Library that will improve the Seismic Performance Rating (SPR) of the main library building (approximately 120,000 GSF) from SPR V to a minimum SPR IV. The seismic scope of work includes strengthening of the roof support structure, floor slabs, columns, and walls. The project scope will also include code, accessibility, and fire life safety improvements triggered by the seismic work in the main library. As resources allow, accessibility and fire and life safety upgrades will be continued into the East Wing.
