Document Description
The proposed project will develop the former bookstore in Building 29, University Center, into an interim fitness center to include space for cardio and weight-lifting equipment as well as the addition of restrooms featuring showers and changing areas. The project will require the interior renovation of the Building 29 former bookstore with minimal exterior work beyond the staging of equipment and materials in the adjacent parking lot to the south of Building 29. The interim fitness center will provide a fitness service facility as a temporary solution until the development of the proposed Recreation Center.
The project will require interior access to Building 29 through the front entrance at 6th Avenue and through the south entrance of the building via the adjacent parking lot. In addition to the development of restrooms featuring showers and changing areas, renovations will include the replacement of flooring, paint, the expansion of plumbing and the addition of electrical circuits to support the installation of cardio and weight-lifting fitness equipment. No structural or mechanical improvements are required for this project and as such exterior work beyond basic painting and surface preparation won’t be required.
