PROGRAM PROPOSAL AND PROJECT SCOPE
Located near the small city of Tulelake in Siskiyou County, the Intermountain Research
and Extension Center (IREC) provides a vital connection between the area’s rural
population and the University of California. This area, part of the Tule Lake Basin, has
rich, reclaimed lake-bottom soil with a short growing season. Recently the area has
been subject to droughts and irrigation water challenges, severely affecting the
agricultural livelihood of the region. This project will provide urgently needed space that
will provide three laboratories for research and field demonstrations, as well as
conference facilities to help with education and extension for the changing agricultural
environment in the region.
The proposed project will construct an addition to the existing administration building of
approximately 3,900 asf of space, providing a new field laboratory and multipurpose
space. The addition will be designed so that the two rooms can be used separately for
concurrent activities or as one space for larger activities. Storage and support space
will be included. Site preparation is envisioned to include extending water and electrical
service to the project site, installation of appropriate sewage disposal and propane gas
systems, and some minimal site improvements as necessary for access to the facility.
Alterations to the existing administration building, constructed in 1955 with a small
addition in 1980, are intended to connect and to provide access between the old and
new structures. Matching roofs, connected mechanical systems and re-purposing the
old laboratory along with necessary infrastructure are included.
