Title

McHenry Library Project

Description

Project will renovate the existing 161,700 GSF McHenry Library and construct a new 116,550 GSF addition to the existing library. The 1.5-acre building site is in the center of the UCSC campus, north of the Arts and Academic Resources Center, southeast of Kerr Hall and "Science Hill," and southwest of Hahn Student Services. The project also includes: improvements to the existing service road along the west side of the library; reconfiguration of parking lots; landscaping; pedestrian pathways, an outdoor entry plaza, site lighting and improved disabled site access; relocation of the library loading / service dock and associated parking; development of a new bicycle path and provision of bicycle parking facilities; installation of a Stormwater management system; and installation of utility connections. A new 65,000 gallon, 20-foot tall water storage/tank system will be added to the existing chiller plant of the Earth & Marine Sciences (EMS) building located near the EMS building. It will chill water for the addition and renovated library during low energy demand periods (evening) and have chilled water available for the completed project at peak demand periods during the day. Area of disturbance includes 2.85-acres.
