Introduction
Programming is the process of “problem-seeking” - during this phase the team
has been seeking and analyzing information to define the nature of the problem, which the design will
solve.
Design is the synthesis of the idea.
Construction is the execution of the design.
The following is a report which follows Architectural Design Principles of Programming:
Goals - What does the project hope to achieve and why? What is CNM’s vision?
Facts - What are the givens, the constraints, the codes and standards?
Concepts - How can these goals be achieved and resolved?
Needs - What quantity/ quality of interior and exterior spaces?
Problem Statements - A series of strong statements made about the condition and general direction that
the design should take.

Program Summary
This report includes a Programming and Scoping Document for the
proposed Renovation of L- Building on the CNM Main Campus and a
initial Maximum allowable construction cost estimate. The document
information is based upon the information collected at a series of
meetings held between 18 March 2013 and the date of this report.
The quantitative data for this report is contained in the Room Data
Sheets located in the appendix.
The L – Building scope and program is based upon a renovated existing building and the addition of entry atria on the north, south and
east facades. The existing building is approximately 33,000 square
feet, the additional space is approximately 6,500 square feet; for a
total building size of 39,500 square feet.
The construction cost estimate for this building is $15.1 million. This
does not include fees incurred by the design team; nor fees, overhead
and profit of a Construction-Manager-at-Risk nor a contractor. Fees for
the design and construction teams will be negotiated and contracted
based upon the approved and final MACC.
General Reports Descriptions and Findings
This report was prepared with information gathered at meetings
scheduled with the design team and CNM Personnel (the meeting
schedule is in appendix).
Defining Space Needs
The participants were encouraged to think about the programmed
spaces. Rather than trying to fit program into existing spaces the team
was asked to define the spacial needs required to teach a lab, incorporate pre-lab classes, storage and support spaces. Finding room size
and adjacency was important during programming. In subsequent
design phases we can define the rooms and work with the existing
building constraints.
Teaching Wall
Currently the teaching wall is chalk boards and a projection screen.
The central screen covers much of the writing area. White boards
were preferred over chalk boards. The concept of the teaching wall
was introduced to the team. This teaching wall has tools that are part
of new high tech labs. There are 3 components to the teaching wall. A
central white board is flanked by a flat screen monitor/TV and a wall
mounted promethean board. The flat screen replaces the projector
and screen. The Promethean board has computer integrated teaching
tools and may be an additional writing surface; the white board is a
writing surface. A magnetic white board was preferred so items may
be attached to the board.

Horizontal Room Layout & Various New Benching
The Biology department want s to orient the rooms with a horizontal
layout; the teaching wall is along the long wall, the hall wall. During
programming the team was introduced to new benching shapes and
configurations; many unknown before; many which create more
space in the lab and allow for shared sinks and utilities. During the
design phase the team will decide upon a lab furniture vendor and
work with them to provide the casework and benches, based upon
the needs of the department. There are currently 24 students in a
lab. Much has been written about safety in determining that number
and when it is increased safety concerns grow. There was a request
to consider increasing the student count from 24-30. We will plan for
30 to continue the dialogue into the design phase.
Safety and techs supplying Labs
Another safety concern lead to clustering the chemistry labs around
one storage supply room so chemicals can go directly into the labs
from the supply room; chemicals being transferred from storage to
lab. Deliveries to the storage room may be scheduled during off peak
times to minimize chemicals in the public egress paths.
Grouping Adjacency
The Chemistry labs are clustered around a central storage and supply
lab prep room, the storage for the other labs serves two labs directly.
This allows for large storage areas for two labs and a lab requiring
even more options may be centered between 2 storage areas. This
aids in flexibility of scheduling and more universal lab spaces.
Relocating existing spaces
Existing labs were considered for relocation. The lower east side of
the building is built into a berm with no exterior windows. Some labs
benefit from having no daylight so they may carry out experiments.
These labs were located to the lower east side. Borrowing light from
new light wells, hall facing windows and other sources may allow
light and view, while allowing darkness for prescribe experiments. It
was also noted the projectiles from physics hitting the floor above
lower story labs can be distracting. Relocating the Physics lab to the
lower level, slab-on-grade will remedy that situation.
Pre-lab inside Lab
Physically changing rooms is disruptive during a class. Such is the
case when a Pre-lab is held in a classroom for an hour and the following two hours are held in the lab. Also during exams the written and
applied portions of the exams are better proctored if within the same
room. Lab layouts, benching options and stools were discussed. We
feel we can accommodate the pre-lab in the same room as the lab.
The classrooms may now be scheduled for programs requiring only a
classroom.

Classrooms
The classroom will have technology 2.1 level AVS and IT. And they
may incorporate the Teaching Wall, described elsewhere. With wi-fi
throughout the facility there is a reduced need for data drops beyond those required in the CISM. The instructors podium in these
classrooms will differ from conventional classrooms in it’s make up,
as it will replicate the teaching benches in the labs. In addition to the
utilities, sink and countertop; the podium should have the PC and controls for the AVS set up on the teaching wall, a document reader and
distance learning capabilities.
Large classroom
A large classroom on each floor is to accommodate 50 students. The IT
and AVS tech 2.1 requirements are the same as the regular classroom.
There are additional floor outlets for power and data. The tables in
these areas should be able to replicate many teaching environments
thus be mobile. Power and data strips on each table will minimize the
use of the power and data boxes in the floor. These rooms require
a utility sink. Teachers learn how to teach science in these rooms so
many configurations need to work.
Instrumentation rooms
A room for instrumentation should be accessible from the chemistry
cluster. The tanks of gases used for this equipment can be stored with
manifold to supply the room from a safe and separate closet. Changing bottles no longer requires access to the controlled environment.
New Spaces – Agility
Walking throughout the halls of the current building one soon notices,
there are no places for students to wait before or between classes
except in the hall. SMPC has successfully created student agility spaces in atria at entry and other favorable places that keep the teaching
area for teaching and the hang-out area for hanging out. These spaces
will be wi-fi enabled and have power so students may charge phones
and computers. There is to be no vending in this building. Water
fountains with integrated hydration stations will be located near these
spaces.
Engaging the JS, SRC and lower level TC buildings
The entrances to the L Building do not relate to the campus. There is
no connection with JS, SRC or TC. A stair exists on the south side of
the building to connect TC and the other lower campus buildings with
those adjacent to the quadrangle above. A 90 degree walk joins that
stair to allow the entry to the L Building; it is like a side door, as is the
east entry off the quadrangle. The door from the north is a pinched
access that creates a back door feel as you squeeze through the double doors into a narrow hall and a tiny elevator offset from the hall.

Science is cool displays
Models of molecules and body parts; physics experiments and chemistry-ware are all apparatus that makes science cool. The group discussed ways to showcase these things in storage cabinets with glazing
in the halls; windows into storage areas that display the apparatus.
A casual walk through the building should showcase the science that
goes on. We are not creating an apple store or fish bowl; as it was
deemed potentially distracting to students and detrimental to school
lockdown (yes tragic that we must design for this). The exterior of the
building should exude science, living walls, visual displays in effect
turning the building inside out became topics to present the building
as a feature on campus.
Open 7 days a week
The Lab building gets a lot of use. Due to all the prerequisite courses
offered, it is operation 6 days a week and may go to 7 days a week.
This means it may be open while adjacent structures are not. It must
allow for the successful operations of the labs, classrooms and support spaces. It may include grouping public spaces near entries and
using access control to allow restricted access to the labs beyond.
Creating spaces for students near the main entries will assist with
eyes on the street to help ensure students have access and those not
attending can be enticed to not enter.
Tech space – staff space
A peaceful coexistence is the result of planning to meet the varying
needs of the tech staff and the teaching staff. Discussions on these
matters lead to a break roof for the two separate from the private
work areas of either group. A break room equipment package (fridge,
microwave and coffee maker) will be integrated into a break room
that also offers a copier, staff storage drawers, paper and supplies and
a work table suitable for dining and spreading out work preparing for
a class in a ten minute break between 2 classes.
Room Data Sheets
A more detailed description of the various spaces and rooms are provided in Appendix 2 of this Report- Room Data Sheets.

Concepts: Site and Sustainability
After doing a preliminary exploratory survey of the Site around Building L we have identified several design problems to resolve existing conditions. The goal is to redesign the L building and surrounding site in order to provide more open and inviting student gathering spaces where students
can congregate between classes.
First: we see opportunities to tie to current pedestrian mall area and improve campus connectivity.
Next, the L building is the next key piece in creating the traditional college campus quad, which is
currently framed by SRC and JS. A low stucco wall is acting as a barrier between the east side of L
and the
Quad. We propose removing and replace with a permeable, landscaped “soft” edge, such as or a
low seating berm or long linear steps.
Finally, the North and South entries into L must be re-imagined and improved. The entries are
congested and lack an ‘identity’. The analysis so far is both observation/qualitative but also quantitative: green building schematic simulation to determine design solutions. (Where are sheltered
outdoor spaces with warm sun on cold winter day?)
We envision envelope enhancements at a minimum, and ideally two atrium and classroom additions which will be modern, inviting, two-level atrium entries that serve as indoor-outdoor nodes.
Optimal orientation and design would enhance the micro-climate outdoors (north summer Plazuela and south winter Plazuela). These spaces will encourage student and faculty congregation with
alcoved, landscaped seating areas with views to the Quad, mountains and city vistas. Landscaping with minimize water use, enhance the micro-climate and enhance enjoyable outdoor spaces
around the building. The goal of our preliminary design assessment is for the L Building to relate to
the SRC and JS but with its own distinct identity that showcases science on campus.
The team also will look to establish agility spaces for students to congregate between classes those great spaces that are the essence of a lively college campus.

Concept Statements
To design for a building that facilitates the improvement of student success in the sciences at CNM.
To provide spaces that support interdepartmental visibility to ‘showcase science’ and draw new
students to the science program (MSE).
To provide all staff, faculty and students with access to views to the outdoors and natural daylighting wherever possible.
To provide a clear and welcoming entry from Coal Ave to the North, the parking lot to the west and
the SRC and quad to the east/ southeast.
To design a building that is welcoming to visitors and projects CNM’s image of excellence.
To design a building that provides a flexible, well functioning HVAC system to accommodate a variance of temperatures between zones and proper ventilation.
To provide an energy efficient building design by orienting the additions properly on the site and
re-conceiving of the building facade skin as a high-performance envelope in an effort to reduce
heating and cooling costs, reduce solar heat gain and unwanted glare from sunlight.
To use natural landscaping on the site and to add to the regional identity of the campus with low
maintenance and water use while also providing enjoyable outdoor spaces.
To provide comfortable workstations for all faculty and staff.
To provide ample space for students between classes, for studying and meeting.
To upgrade all laboratory and classroom learning and teaching tools to best improve student success for years to come.

Concepts
STEM - Science Technology Engineering and Math is to help ensure the viability of New Mexico as an educated workforce for the coming decades.
The tools of education are changing. Children in elementary school are using
promethean boards; children in middle school are more tech savvy than at
any other time in history.
These students are attending CNM, and they need the state of the art learning tools.
The STEM initiative, coupled with modern teaching tools were paramount in
our discussions of the needs of the L Building.
This renovation is an opportunity for CNM to be at the forefront of education and ensure the STEM initiative is met.

Project Scope
This report is prepared with information gathered at meetings attended by the design team and CNM Personnel (the meeting schedule is in appendices). Discussions that address project scope are
in this section and include utilities, systems, new construction and
other elements that factor into the cost of the building.
Design Schedule
The Programming in this document was completed May 2013; since
the building will be in use until 2014, the 12 months between will be
used for design, permits and preparation for construction to begin.
existing building
Construction schedule
The L Building will be closed to classes May 2014 – May 2015
Basic Information
The existing building is 33,000 square feet. We propose to add
approximately 6,000 square feet of entrance atria. The sloping brick
sills, if removed, would add 125 SF to each structural bay. If the
sloping sills are removed the windows would align with the existing
cornice so new roofing would not be required; an additional 3,000
SF of space would become available within the existing footprint.
existing building
Extent of Demolition
After the classes end (May 2014), demolition within the L Building can commence. Owner-salvaged materials will be removed
for storage and reuse. Lab materials will have provisions for reuse
elsewhere or storage. Light fixtures and other metals for salvage
will be removed and separated for salvage money. Weight and value
will be noted for LEED documentation. Interior partitions, existing
plumbing, HVAC, IT, and electrical will be removed. Additionally,
approximately 80% of the slab on grade will also be demolished. The
last part is to facilitate plumbing to the new benches in the horizontally configured labs. The exterior walls could be pushed out 5 feet in
each bay by removing the sloped sills.
building structural model
Exterior Walls
Other than the atria, the exterior façade may be altered and the skin
aligned with the parapet of the roof. Steel framed construction, new
windows and an exterior skin will be installed. The existing façade is
brick, and matching the brick may be difficult so other exterior finish
options may be considered. This is an opportunity to highlight this as
a Science Lab.
Atria
New entrance atria are being considered as the means to provide
agility spaces and support the new roof top equipment. If we add
5% to the existing load of the building it would require a seismic upgrade, the new atria can be designed to support new equipment and

provide dynamic entrances which engage the campus and display
science. A living organic growing wall may be a viable option for the
atrium space. As a gateway to the campus from Coal Ave, off we can
create a dynamic CNM presence on the north façade. The elevator
may be relocated to one of the entrances. Long span acoustic deck,
atop a steel frame with curtain wall are some materials proposed.
ADA Restrooms
entry concept
Currently there are 22 toilets and urinals and 16 sinks in the existing
restrooms. There are no handicapped stalls or stand-alone assisted
restrooms. There is an ambulatory stall in each restroom, that is 3642 inches wide with grab bars on both sides. It is believed that the
restrooms may be reconfigured to include the 5 foot handicapped
stalls, a stand-alone assisted restroom and meet the fixture counts
required for the building.
Lab Systems Support Room
A room exists on the south side of the building adjacent to the “pit”.
The room contains a DI water producer, the vacuum pump; a compressor for air, the fire riser for fire protection, the domestic water
supply, and a boiler. All but the boiler will remain in place to serve
the building. Relocating these items will add unnecessary cost. The
boiler can be removed since a new HVAC system will be installed.

HVAC & Ventilation
electrical
Currently the HVAC is not up to code and a lot of unofficial comments were used to describe the HVAC and ventilation. The current
Mechanical room on the ground floor will be adapted into lab space.
The new equipment will be mounted above the new atria addition
and on exterior pads. Currently 100 percent air runs through the
fume hoods 100 percent of the time. Installing variable controls,
grouping fume hood exhaust and installing heat exchangers will
help reduce energy use. Labs will be positively pressured to aid in
exhaust. Storage and restrooms will have ventilation upgrades. A
new system that can be monitored through digital controls will be
installed to allow for monitoring energy consumption.
Plumbing & Domestic Water and Gases
The labs are being reconfigured. New pipes for the utilities and
domestic water will be installed to meet the updated layouts. We
are proposing removing 80% of the slab on grade to help install the
new plumbing systems, the horizontal orientation of the rooms and
the hit or miss involved in trenching makes the labor involved more
costly than removing and replacing the floor. The acid tanks and other lab building related equipment will remain on the west side of the
building to maintain access and reduce cost. New gas, air, vacuum,
water and DI water pipes will be routed to the labs.

Lighting and Power
All the lighting will be removed and the aluminum salvaged for recycling. We may seek PNM rebates on lighting upgrade. The labs and
classroom will have pendant fixtures similar to RR and ATC where 2
rows illuminated the rooms. The pendant fixtures allow the ceiling
to be continuous and transfer less noise from above. LED cans and
other task lighting will be integrated into the design. The power
comes from the equipment west of the dumpster enclosure. It will
enter to a new Main Distribution Panel as the old panels were in the
old mechanical space which is being adapted into lab space. Secondary panels will be located in the new floor plans.
data
Data
This is not a heavy data driven building. A main distribution room
will be established as per the CISM and a closet on each floor to
enable the data distribution. Cable trays in the halls will carry the
cables; hooks mounted to the rods supporting the cable trays will
carry the access control cables, security cables and any cables other
than the IT cables.
Roof
The roof will be replaced AGI and SMPC will provide details and
specs to accomplish this task. After all the old penetrations are
closed and the new ones cut, the insulation and roof system will be
installed.

Collection Pits and Hot Boxes
During a visit with the plumbing consultants they indicated that the
hot boxes near Coal will increase in size. The pits on the west side of
the building will remain in that location, they may need upgrading;
more in the Plumbing narrative.
Signage
Something Screening the Hot Boxes and Utilities may become a sign
for the Main Campus. Lighting may help define the L Building and
bring it the needed attention a gateway building deserves.
quadrangle and memorial near building
Quadrangle and Landscaping
Outside of the building footprint and the purview of utilities is the
work related to landscaping and the connection to the quadrangles.
The east entrance to the second floor will relate to the quadrangle.
The wall separating the lawn and walk way may be removed in part
and replaced with steps to engage the use. Landscaping adjacent to
L-Building is mainly trees. All trees removed need to be replaced
with trees allowed by the City of Albuquerque and selected by CNM.
Trees will be removed on the north side to allow for the atrium and
large classrooms. A drainage line north of the planned addition
does not allow new trees to be planted. Work on the west façade, if
sloping ledges are removed, will involve scaffolding and may involve
removing and replacing additional trees.

terraced steps near Coal Ave

Sidewalk Retaining Walls
We are proposing to retain the terraced steps and ramping between
JS and L Buildings. If we create an entrance to the second level from
that area, we will engage the main walkways and the planned east
entrance. There is concern about the stairs and retaining wall on the
south end of the building. It appears to be showing signs of failing.
This would be an expensive fix as the stair is the retaining wall for
the adjacent 24’ high berm. A design solution will be decided during
collaboration with CMAR. This may include removing the earth from
the retaining wall, replacing the wall and stair with a wall and creattrees along west side of building
ing a stair within the atrium.
Fire Riser, Domestic Water
Water will enter the building in the same location, in the south
adjacent to the “pit”. From here water will be sent throughout the
building with new piping. The hot water can have recirculation loops
to ensure hot water quicker.
Electrical and Gas Tie In
The electrical equipment is west of the building aligned with the
south entry. A new MDP will be installed in the building and Sub
gas on south side of building panels on each floor. Gas is on site at the South East corner on the
escarpment side of the building.
Preparing for the Future
The STEM – Science Technology Engineering and Math initiative in
New Mexico has been moved to the forefront. Students in middle
schools are being groomed to take transferable college credits in
high school. Elementary school students are using promethean
boards. This Laboratory needs to ready itself for the tech savvy students that are on their way.

Schindwolf, Matthew Micer, Abbas Shiriam, Charlotte Gensler, Gilbert Gallegos, Richard Calabro and Jim
Kreis.
Notes taken by: Amanda Corbell
Called to order: 1:00 pm
Meeting Adjourned: 2:30 pm
1. Introductions: all in attendance introduced themselves.
a. What are principles? Principles are partners in the firm. SMPC Architects have 5.
2. Schedules:
a. have meetings set for Wednesday, March 20, 2013 and Thursday March 21, 2013.
b. Well determine rest of meetings at Wednesday meeting. Charlotte and Amanda to work on
getting rooms and AVS equipment for meetings.
c. Meet with SMPC Architects regularly on Tuesday and Thursdays. Tymn will determine which
meetings will require faculty.
d. Later meetings will include SMPC Architects cost estimator.
e. Rich Calabro is asking his team to plan for short term classes so that we have a wider shut
down perion.
3. Phasing of Building:
a. Would like to be able to shut building down
i. Impossible to move the current first floor labs to the 2nd floor and vice versa because
biology and chemistry labs are not compatible.
b. Fire Marshal may not allow for phasing of the building
c. Mechanical system may not allow for vertical splits in phasing. Also hard to do temporary
mechanical systems.
d. If new addition is built could potentially build universal labs to help completely shut down the
L Building. Would build new building then move and shut down the L building.
4. Discussion on potential ideas/ Building necessities: Tymn Waters presented potential ideas and
drawings. Please see attached drawings. Lou will get construction drawings of L building.
a. Properties in rooms:
i. Discussion about data ports on tables.
ii. Sinks should have hot, cold and deionized water.
iii. Students do not need lockers if cubbies are built into the room or available storage
space in room.
1. If storage spaces are in a public area students prefer to have lockable spaces.
b. Entrances:
i. Build new entry on south side.
ii. Not easily accessible.
iii. Would like to add a couple of entrances connecting everything.
iv. Create a Quad with JS, SRC and L building.
c. Mechanical
i. Put mechanical on roof of new entryway.
ii. Would remove boilers and chillers possibly adding more space.
iii. Ventilation needs to be look at especially because we store hazardous materials.
Also need to look at what gases will be delivered through the public spaces and the
transportation of them.
d. Would like two large classrooms
CNM Building L - Programming Document
May 2013
APX3-5
e. Student Spaces
i. Would like a couple
ii. Students need spaces to wait for class (like MS building where there are alcoves).
Students are currently sitting in the hallways to wait for class.
iii. Do not want to take away from instruction space.
iv. Do not want food and drink available for purchase because food and drink is not
allowed in the lab.
v. Possibly create atriums on sides for student spaces.
f. Idea to see how much we can reconfigure current space rather than adding on space.
g. Building too long for IT and might need to be broken up.
h. Stem center will not be in this building.
i. Do not want things that are built and designed for one thing and one thing only. Spaces need
to be created in a multiuse manner. Space needs to be semi generic because in the future we
are looking at only opening certain buildings on weekends, would like this space to potentially
be able to house other majors ie English.
j. Would like to see designs that enforce the theme of the building. (IE plants, and atom models
etc.) Need to engage students and market the programs.
k. Roof leaks need to be fixed because this building does contain hydro-active materials. CNM
has hired a roofing consultant, when the time is right we will bring him on.
5. Meeting was adjourned.

Rogers (maintenance), and Mark Daley .
Notes taken by: Amanda Corbell
Called to order: 1:00 pm
Meeting Adjourned: 3:30 pm
1. Introductions: all in attendance introduced themselves.
2. Program Document
a. Determine adjacencies, lab layouts, who has access and to what.
b. Develop wish list without the confines of where everything is currently. Could move, add or
close some existing walls.
c. Is the scope to renovate or tear down except outside wall and start new?
3. Building possibilities/ layouts
a. Need to assess current plumbing.
b. Do we want centralized offices for faculty/ techs or one on each floor?
i. Full time faculty have office space in JS building. Only need space for office support/
techs and copier room.
c. Additions.
i. Add to north side or possibly move mechanical out and add lab.
d. Lab necessities
i. Need pre-labs for chem. Would be ok to have pre-lab down the hall.
ii. Maybe have storage areas attached to the lab. Need to make the storage areas and
closets so that they fit the purpose.
1. Currently no standard of where to look for certain items. Hard for new faculty.
2. Advantage of having visible storage areas:
a. less likely to collect
b. Can showcase program and it can act as a marketing device.
iii. Do not need spaced specific to geology, but geology does need storage space.
iv. UNM has three adjacent labs where the walls are made of glass. Could look at
something like that.
1. How does glass walls play into things like active shooters.
2. Outside opaque and inside clear glass.
v. Could have labs on one side of the hall and stock rooms on other side.
vi. Could labs be move into the middle with hallways on outside. Eliminate middle
corridor or leave the corridor as a service entrance.
vii. Need several fume-hoods.
viii. Physics labs might be better positioned on first floor due to noise and light restrictions.
ix. A & P lab necessities: open bank space, ventilation, proper disposal spaces. Do not
require windows but also does not hinder if windows are in room.
x. Geology and Geography can be held in either biology or physics lab.
xi. Would like five biology labs, one physics lab, three chemistry labs and pre-lab
classrooms
xii. Need Wifi
xiii. Would like to have mountings for camera’s for things like lecture capture and
demonstration videos.

APX3-7
e. Do we have to have two entries and exits on each floor? Depends on occupancy.
4. What is good about the building what is bad about the building.
a. Need to balance daylight and artificial light. Will look at the different light distribution
options.
b. East side of building is gloomy.
c. Amount of noise that can be heard in the building is bad. Vibration from noise knocks things
of the ceiling and they break
d. Poor lighting
e. Plumbing is iffy, faucets don’t always work.
f. Always had problems with electrical
g. Cell phone reception is bad
h. Need more board space
i. In need of general upgrade of safety
5. Add or Remove
a. Add space so students can gather
b. Incorporate wider corridors
c. In a large classroom incorporate 1 large “slop sink” for natural sciences.
6. Discussion to place regarding utilities and the best way to bring in equipment for job.

Henderson, Hillary Noll, Sydney Gunthorpe, Clarissa Sorensen-Unruh, Rosalinda Montoya Ken Cole and
Mark Daley.
Notes taken by: Amanda Corbell
Called to order: 1:15 pm
Meeting Adjourned: 3:20 pm
1. Space Necessities
a. Large Classrooms.
i. Would like 2
ii. One on each floor is preferable.
iii. Advantageous to feed down into the main hallway.
iv. Could extend small classrooms for 1 large one.
b. Research about extending five feet on either side of the building. Could be used for faculty
space, instrument room or extending large classrooms. Space would need access and inner
movement.
c. Three Chem labs (one new)
i. Labs are two hours, pre-labs are one.
ii. Only need pre-lab for chemistry
iii. Currently use labs all at the same time.
iv. Probably need three classrooms at least for chemistry.
d. Every classroom and lab should have teacher work bench. No space for lecterns.
e. Plumbing is not necessary.
f. All Classrooms and labs would be at a level 2/2.1 for classroom technology. Would like the
teacher workbench to serve as the podium.
i. Level 1 is computer and projector
ii. Level 2 is Podium, computer, projector, screen, DVD player, VHS player, cameras,
and speakers.
iii. Will make six drops for lecture capture
g. Does not need open computer lab. SRC has several open labs and will add to the budget
because of the need to staff it.
h. Entrances will not be staffed.
i. Need wireless for mobile devices.
j. Need electrical outlets for students to plug in and charge things. Outlets need to be easily
accessible.
k. Standardize every classroom so that rooms are as generic as possible.
l. Can we add light to the east wall on the first floor?
m. Should speak with techs at other campuses to see what they like and dislike about their
workspaces. Will bring techs to next meeting.
n. Wasted space under stairwells.
2. Easier to put all new mechanical in place. Had issues putting DDC’s on existing pipes. Looking at all
new HVAC system.

1. General:
1.1: Not phased - building to be vacated for construction activities.
1.2: New Mechanical System is required
1.3: New Roof is required
1.4: No additional levels added - building to remain two levels
1.4.1: Not penthouse on existing, but likely on new structure/ addtiion. If on existing, would have to have seismic
upgrade to entire structure. Size new structures to hold load of mechanical.
1.5: Plumbing conditions will need to be assessed.
The following basic needs for the L Building have been identified:
5 Biology labs (first floor)
o
o
3 Chemistry labs (second floor)
o
1 Astronomy/Physics lab (possibly moved downstairs to the SE corner of first
floor where mechanical is currently located.)
o
EPS and Geography labs could be accommodated in either the ASTR/PHYS
lab
or a BIO lab
o
Storage space/prep rooms easy access to labs, need a lot of storage casework,
carts, tables to assemble experiment resources
o
At least 3 “pre-lab” classrooms – probably room for 4, not in lab. In JS they
are putting
walls between them and labs so scheduling of other classes may occur.
o
1 large classroom/ lecture rooms - two are desirable, one per floor.
o
Lab tech offices - for 5 techs (Physics tech in phsycis in prep space, 1
microbiology with other biology, 2 chem techs in prep space), 1 supervisor on second
floor adjacent to chem but not in), 4 work study students, near windows and prep areas, no
faculty mailboxes or other spaces, just techs.
o
Will there be growth of staff in future? More staff space?
Instrumentation Room for Chemistry
o
Workroom/Break room for Faculty, this is where mailboxes may be and
o
copiers. Most of the things they need are in JS. Currently have two of these rooms on
each floor, could be consolidated to one Breakroom. Color Copier desirable.
o
New entrances and new “identity” for building
o
Gathering places for students.
CNM Building L - Programming Document

APX3-11
o
o
Incorporate wide corridors.
Relocation of mechanical room south of existing building.
2. Design and ‘big idea’ Concepts:
2.1: Building design to showcase of the sciences; ‘turn it inside out’ to help inspire more interest in science
disciplines among students. Of other disciplines and the public passing by on Coal
2.2: Building (and Sciences) to be more identifiable and have a strong presence on campus
2.3: Connect to the Quad to the east - possible new east entrance to building.
2.4: Alternatives to the double loaded corridor (a new floor plan/ layout) was explored and discussed. One
possibility includes staggering corridor on 2nd level with Chem Lab cluster.
2.5: Address Coal Ave. to the Northwest - new entrance/ addition
2.6: Connect upper and lower campus - improve and integrate stairs along South
2.7: More natural daylight; particularly in hallways, teaching classrooms, in student
gathering spaces and windows for tech offices.
2.8: Removing sloping brick sills on East and West would, move windows out to enlarge building area/ lab
spaces.5’-0” to the west and 5’-0” to the west. It may require new windows and glazing if they cannot be
reused after removal.
2.9: Site: Landscaping scope near east entrance, shading to west?
3. Chemistry labs
3.1: Three Chemistry Labs are needed.
3.2: They should be in close proximity to each other and to the Chemistry Supply Room.
3.3: Cluster arrangement is a possibility and is desirable to minimize transport of lab
materials from supply room to the labs.
3.4: Glass walls into the supply room for a visual connection was discussed.
3.4.1 Supply Room to have ventilation fume hoods.
3.4: Typical Chemistry Lab layout of room 209 is desired.
3.4.1 Five fume hoods per Chem Lab.
3.5: 2 students per 5’ of linear lab space (6’ ideal) x 24 students per lab
· It was determined that a dedicated instructional space is desirable for the Chemistry labs. The idea
of using separate classrooms to accommodate the Chemistry pre-labs is not optimal. The pre-labs
sometimes require longer than one hour. Furthermore, under the current system, students are severely
inconvenienced when taking the Chemistry final exams. They may use the pre-lab classroom for
the first hour of the exam but must then move to the lab itself to finish the exam. Moving from one
room to another in the midst of an exam is disruptive. In addition, the Chemistry labs do not have
chairs so the students must stand as they complete the exam. It would be much more effective to
have a dedicated instructional space in each Chemistry lab where the Instructor can lecture/prepare
the students for the lab and where students can work, take exams, etc. This would also eliminate the
need to transport potentially harmful materials used for demos to classrooms outside the lab area.
The faculty and instructors of MSE recommended that the renovated Chemistry labs incorporate an
instructional area similar to the Microbiology lab at Westside in MJG 220.
· The request above is from Chemistry and I believe differs from what Sydney has expressed.
3.6: Sheet Rubber floor covering
3.7: Ideal to have at least one Pre-Lab classroom adjacent to Lab for longer exams, or finishing lab writeups. Less desirable for these activities in Lab; room could have access to hallway and to Lab (for flexible
scheduling). Could there be an abbreviated space - small desks or tables in Lab or counter for students to use
after Lab experiments, etc? Utilize 5’ added space along windows. Possibility of doing Pre-Lab in Lab itself
if we had stools and lower shelving (currently not stools, shelving blocking visibility to board). Stools have to
be out of way/ students have to stand during experiments for safety and be alert. Some sort of modular/ pull out
seat?
3.7.1 Instructional space in lab is really ideal. A few (3) classrooms would still be good.
3.7.2: Look at furniture - new benches could allow for pre-Lab in Lab.
May 2013
CNM Building L - Programming Document
APX3-12
3.8: Not moving Chemicals off campus during construction - perhaps in TC 134 - on campus. Other materials/
casework can go off campus, possibly ATC. Avoid dealing with DOD/ Feds.
4. Biology Labs
4.1: Five Biology Labs are needed (one is AP and four are generic) Definition of AP is that it has cold storage attached.
4.1.1 One fume hood per Bio Lab
4.2: They should be in relatively close proximity to each other and to the (1) StockRoom (with refrigeration)
for making media is done in here.
4.3: The Anatomy & Physiology (AP) lab to have storage directly adjacent to it.
1.1.1. A & P lab necessities: open bank space, ventilation, proper disposal spaces. Do not
require windows but also does not hinder if windows are in room.
1.1.2. Refrigerant is class face, food grade equipment.
1.1.3. Cadavers will be moved out in 2014, models will be phased in.
4.4: AP storage to have ventilation and refrigerated storage. 2014 cadavers not being used this is when
the building is slated to reopen. Ventilation doesn’t need to be vented to Roof, but need one fume hood Stock Room
4.5: Maybe have storage areas attached to the lab. Need to make the storage areas and closets so that
they fit the purpose. Cabinets in Bio Labs that are semi secure, which might reduce size of Bio
Storage rooms. 18” from ceiling is height limit of storage.
1. Advantage of having visible storage areas:
a. Less likely to collect clutter.
b. Can showcase program and it can act as a marketing device.
4.5.1: Cubbies for Students
4.6: EPS & Geography labs can be accommodated in either the ASTR/PHYS or a
Bio lab
4.7: Sheet Rubber floor covering
5. Geology Lab
5.1: One Geology Lab is needed and can be held in one of the typical Biology
Labs
5.2: Geology lab to have good lighting - a balance of natural daylight, overhead
direct/ indirect and under counter lighting.
5.3: Geology needs own storage space; storage room should be in close proximity, as the materials
transported between are heavy and sometimes fragile. Need to determine size; could be intermediate ‘tool room’ size but may need room for growth.
6. Physics Lab
6.1: The physics lab can be moved to the lower level, south east corner, where
mechanical is currently located.
6.2: Physics Lab does not require plumbing nor daylighting.
6.3: Physics Lab to have Stock Room Room directly adjacent to it.
7. Large Lecture Room/ Classroom
7.1: To be designed to accommodate collaborative learning.
7.2: Occupancy of 50 students(2 exits)
7.3: Level 2/ 2.1 Technology - including Lecture Capture technology, as well as demonstration and document capture for distance learning. Enterprise Lecture Capture, e.g. THIS IS ALSO DESIREABLE CNM Building L - Programming Document
May 2013
APX3-13
IN ALL LABS. Plan for future.
7.4 Each large lecture room needs to have one large sink to accommodate the needs of our
Natural Science classes. The dimensions needed for the sinks are as follows: length = 24
inches, width = 20 inches, height = 34 inches.
7.5: L-208 is now Large Classroom (next to stockroom for Astronomy and Physics Class - not Physics
Lab)
7.6: Storage in Large Classrooms: Casework for Storage for Natural Sciences, have about 3 cabinets.
Nice to have 110 outlets along counter as well.
8. Pre-Lab Classrooms
8.1: To be designed to accommodate pre-lab courses as well as teaching classrooms for other disciplines.
8.2: Sufficient space to accommodate up to 4 chemistry labs per day
8.3: Occupancy of 30 students
8.4: White board/ Chalk Board NOT to be located behind a pull down projector screen. SAME IN ALL
TEACHING WALLS.
8.5: Teaching wall with Smart Board is desirable; Promethium boards touchable screens, TC104, APS
has them, Mimeo system - new type..
8.6: Level 2 Technology to be building into from table-console (table for science discipline instructors to demonstrate pre-lab curricula, but also can provide sufficient technology and space for other discipline
instructors to lecture).
8.7: No plumbing required at instructors desk
9. Lab Tech Offices
9.1: Five spaces are needed, a four spaces for work-study student assistants.
9.2: Daylight and Views are very desirable (and required by LEED)
9.3: Lab tech spaces are located in the storage/prep rooms - layout table space centered in the
rooms.
10. Faculty Break Room/ Mail/ Flexible Work Spaces
1.1 Room should include break room amenities: small fridge, microwave, sink, table/ seating, coffee
pot, hotwater boiler
1.2 Copy machine, printers, layout space to be available. Limited office supply storage. space
1.3 No offices spaces but possible ‘transient’ work areas could be provided. Plug in and LIght
1.4 Space should be separated from Tech Offices (currently the faculty/ staff walk through
the tech offices to get to break space- this is undesirable.)
11. Student “Agility” Spaces
1.1 There is a significant need for agility space in the building for students to study, wait
between classes, hold informal meetings, ‘plug-in’, etc.
11.2 The spaces should be dispersed around the building; possibly having two large spaces at
the new North and and South (east) entrances.
1.2 No computer lab for students.
1.3 However, readily accessible, ample spaces for students to plug in, charge mobile devices
and connect wirelessly should be provided. Possible bar-height counters with stools, as
well as traditional lounge furniture.
11.4 No food service, no vending machines in the building. No staffed / admin spaces.
11.5 Lockers in hallways are underutilized. Cubbies inside the entrance to every Lab would be a
good alternative. (Students cannot have personal belongings/ food items, etc, with them during labs.)
12. Site Utilities
12.1: Data is coming from the JS building from their SE corner; need to locate where it enters L and IT
closet location - should be centrally located - could be in teacher ‘guest’ room; 12’x15’ space
12.2: Water and Sewer connect to Coal Ave to the North/ Northwest

CNM Building L - Programming Document
APX3-14
12.3: Electrical from West parking
12.4: Gas from Quad and Plazuela
12.3: Stormwater is draining down the steps/ramp between JS and L, as well to south
13. Misc
13.1: The Good/ The Bad:
· Need to balance daylight and artificial light. Will look at the different light distribution
options.
· East side of building is gloomy.
· Amount of noise that can be heard in the building is bad. Vibration from noise knocks things
of the ceiling and they break
· Poor lighting
· Plumbing is iffy, faucets don’t always work.
· Always had problems with electrical
· Cell phone reception is bad
· Need more board space - in most spaces. White boards are preferable; magnetic white board
in large lecture classrooms for demonstrations.
· In need of general upgrade of safety
· West side gets hot
Next Meeting – Tuesday, March 26th, 2013
March 26 2013
Entries:
East Entry: augment / align with memorial (don’t hide entry behind it)
Possible new classroom (lg) locations: should be near entrance - at north is perferred because labs can be locked
down while they are accessible. Second possible location for lg classrooms is near new east entry. HVAC to be
built on top of new strcuture ( south has been discussed, what about north?)
Structurally: helical piers along east, south east (not north east) next to turndown slab and bond beam, basement
structural wall is cantilevered.
Structure: to gain 5’ at sills: new beams, new grad beam, new helical pier, keep or re do facia
Plumbing: waiting on MEP to do exploratory assessment (not cross section, but pressure, etc)

(CNM Chemistry)
1. General:
• 1.1: Not phased - building to be vacated for construction activities.
• 1.2: New Mechanical System is required
• 1.3: New Roof is required
• 1.4: No additional levels added - building to remain two levels
• 1.4.1: Not penthouse on existing, but likely on new structure/ addition. If on existing, would have to have
seismic upgrade to entire structure. Size new structures to hold load of mechanical.
• 1.5: Plumbing conditions will need to be assessed.
Summary of Identified Spaces:
• 5 Biology Labs (first floor)
• 3 Chemistry Labs (second floor)
• Instrumentation Room for Chemistry
• Physics/ Astronomy Lab
• Stock Rooms for Chem, Physics, EPS and Bio (&AP)
• EPS and Geography labs could be accommodated in either the ASTR/PHYS lab or a BIO lab
• 3 “pre-lab” classrooms • 1 large classroom/ lecture rooms - 2are desirable, one per floor.
• Lab tech offices - for 5 techs (Physics tech in physics in prep space, 1 microbiology with other biology, 2 Chem
techs in prep space), 1 supervisor on second floor adjacent to Chem but not in), 4 work study students)
• Workroom/Break room for Faculty
• New entrances to give “identity” to science building
• Gathering places “agility spaces “for students
• Incorporate wide corridors.
• Possible green living wall in an atrium.
• Relocation of mechanical room south of existing building.
• Will there be growth of staff in future? More staff space?
2. Design and ‘big idea’ Concepts:
2.1: Building design to showcase of the sciences; ‘turn it inside out’ to help inspire more interest in science
disciplines among students. Of other disciplines and the public passing by on Coal
2.2: Building (and Sciences) to be more identifiable and have a strong presence on campus
2.3: Connect to the Quad to the east - possible new east entrance to building.
2.4: Alternatives to the double loaded corridor (a new floor plan/ layout) was explored and discussed. One
possibility includes staggering corridor on 2nd level with Chem Lab cluster.
2.5: Address Coal Ave. to the Northwest - new entrance/ addition
2.6: Connect upper and lower campus - improve and integrate stairs along South
2.7: More natural daylight; particularly in hallways, teaching classrooms, in student
gathering spaces and windows for tech offices.
2.8: Removing sloping brick sills on East and West would, move windows out to enlarge building area/ lab
spaces.5’-0” to the west and 5’-0” to the west. It may require new windows and glazing if they cannot be
reused after removal.
2.9: Site: Landscaping scope near east entrance, shading to west?
ROOM DATA:
3. Chemistry Labs (LAB-01)
May 2013
CNM Building L - Programming Document
APX3-16
3.1: Three Chemistry Labs are needed.
3.2: They should be in close proximity to each other and to the Chemistry Supply Room.
3.3: Cluster arrangement is a possibility and is desirable to minimize transport of lab
materials from supply room to the labs.
3.4: Glass walls into the supply room for a visual connection was discussed.
3.4.1 Supply Room to have ventilation fume hoods.
3.4: Typical Chemistry Lab layout of room 209 is desired.
3.4.1 Five fume hoods per Chem Lab.
3.5: 2 students per 5’ of linear lab space (6’ ideal) x 24 students per lab
It was determined that a dedicated instructional space is desirable for the Chemistry labs. The idea
of using separate classrooms to accommodate the Chemistry pre-labs is not optimal. The pre-labs
sometimes require longer than one hour. (The request above is from Chemistry and we believe differs
from what Sydney has expressed.)
3.6: Sheet Rubber floor covering
3.7: The faculty and instructors of MSE recommended that the renovated Chemistry labs incorporate an
instructional area similar to the Microbiology lab at Westside in MJG 220. Ideal to have Pre-Lab classroom
space in the Lab for longer exams, or finishing lab write-ups. No seating at Chem Lab Benches.
3.7.1 Instructional space in lab is really ideal. A few (3) classrooms would still be good.
3.8: Layout/ Furniture: New benches could allow for pre-Lab in Lab.
3.8.3: Dogbone or Peninsula layouts might be good solution.
3.8.2: Raised area ‘pop-ups’ on center of benches for setting materials/ glassware.
3.8.3: In-Line Shut Off valves
3.9: Not moving Chemicals off campus during construction - perhaps in TC 134 - on campus. Other materials/
casework can go off campus, possibly ATC. Avoid dealing with DOD/ Feds.
3.10: Cubbies inside the entrance to Lab – perhaps on classroom pre-lab side of room. (Students cannot have
personal belongings/ food items, with them during labs.)
3.11: Less storage is needed in Lab (compared to Bio).
3.11.1: Only need Glassware storage at benches and some casework along a wall.
3b. Chemistry Stock Room (STCK-01)
3b.1: Accommodate 12 carts
3b.2: Don’t need views if it compromises wall area for storage
3b.3: Tech work table space in center of room works best
3b.4: Lab Supervisor office to be adjacent to stock room.
3b.5: Equipment:
- DI water supply
- Double Sink with pull down spray nozzle
- Commercial Dishwasher (wish)
- Two Fume Hoods
3c. Chemistry Instrumentation (STCK-02)
3c.1: A storage room to contain chemistry lab apparatus
3c.2: To be located near Chemistry Stock room and Labs, transport is less critical / hazardous.
3d. Chemistry Lab Tech Offices: (OF-01)
3c.1: 2 Lab Techs and 2 Work Study student spaces
6’x8’ or 6’x6’ offices for techs, students can have small table
To be located directly adjacent to Chem Stock Room
ROOM DATA:
4. Biology Labs (LAB-02)
4.1: Five Biology Labs are needed (one is AP and four are generic) Definition of AP is that it has cold storage
attached. CNM Building L - Programming Document
May 2013
APX3-17
4.2: They should be in relatively close proximity to each other and to the Stock Rooms.
4.3: The Anatomy & Physiology (AP) lab to have storage directly adjacent to it.
4.3.1. A & P lab necessities: open bank space, ventilation, proper disposal spaces. Do not require
windows but also does not hinder if windows are in room.
4.3.2. Refrigerant is glass face, food grade equipment.
4.3.3. Cadavers will be moved out in 2014, models will be phased in.
4.4: AP storage to have ventilation and refrigerated storage. 2014 cadavers not being used this is when the building is slated to reopen. Ventilation doesn’t need to be vented to Roof, but need one fume
hood Stock Room
4.5: Need to make the storage areas and closets so that they fit the purpose. 4.5.1: Storage in Labs: Cabinets in Bio Labs that are semi secure, which might reduce size of Bio
Storage rooms. 18” from ceiling is height limit of storage.
4.5.2: Glass Face doors on cabinetry is desirable.
Advantage of having visible storage areas (perhaps glazed wall into corridor behind cabinets)
a. Less likely to collect clutter.
b. Can showcase program and it can act as a marketing device.
4.5.3: Cubbies for Students beneath Lab Benches/Tables. 4.6: EPS & Geography labs can be accommodated in a Bio lab
4.7: Sheet Rubber floor covering
4.8: Equipment:
- 1 sink per table/ bench
- Water
- Power outlets (flush with surface is nice)
- No Gas
- Lab Height with stools – students sit and stand
- One fume hood per Bio Lab
- iPads and laptops are increasingly used at Labs – spot (pop-up?) for clamping it
4.9: Layout:
4.9.1: Cluster is ideal with teaching wall along long wall.
4.9.2: Promethean is better than a screen for teaching wall.
4.9.3: 4 -6 students per group/ lab table.
4.9.4: Round / Oval Table with sink off to side is good – keeps models away from water; also the
Dogbone or peninsula layouts are good possibilities.
4.9.5: Need counter space along a wall for layout space, could have some glazing, but don’t
compromise storage.
4b. Biology Stock Room(s) (STCK-03 and STCK-04)
3b.1: can be one room for four typical Bio Labs and one for AP
3b.2: Don’t need views if it compromises wall area for storage
3b.3: Work table space in center of room works best
3b.4: Lab Tech offices to be adjacent to stock room.
3b.5: Equipment:
- DI water supply
- Two large Double Sinks with pull down spray nozzle in each room.
- Commercial Dishwasher (wish)
- One Fume Hoods per stock room (1 each Bio and AP Bio)
- Growing Specimen: aquarium and other display possibilities.
3.b.6: Stock Room (with refrigeration) -- making media is done in here.
-
4c. Biology Lab Tech Offices: (OF-01-B)
4c.1: 2 Lab Techs and 2 Work Study student spaces. To be separated from Faculty Break Work rm.

ROOM DATA:
5. Geology Lab (LAB-02)
5.1: One Geology Lab can be held in one of the typical Biology Labs
5.2: Geology lab to have good lighting - a balance of natural daylight, overhead direct/ indirect and under
counter lighting.
5.3: Geology needs own storage space; storage room should be in close proximity, as the materials
transported
between are heavy and sometimes fragile. Need to determine size; could be intermediate ‘tool room’ size but
may need room for growth.
5b.
Geology Storage Room: (STCK-05)
5b.1: storage for geology lab materials and equipment should be centrally located between the three typical
biology labs which will accommodate EPS/Geo labs.
ROOM DATA:

6.1: The physics lab can be moved to the lower level, south east corner, where mechanical is currently
located.
6.2: One large sink is needed.
6.3: Physics Lab to have Stock Room directly adjacent to it.
6.4: Glazing into Lab to show off demonstrations/ experiments is desirable; provide controllable shades.
(EPS lab on Westside has this – works well).
6.5: Borrowed daylight through clerestories into hallway and/or sola-tubes from east side ceiling.
6.6: Layout to include modular/ moveable bench-tables. Benching to accommodate long-tracks and ability
to create open floor space. Light weight modular furniture.
6.7: Need to anticipate future use of computers – perhaps raised flooring with power/ data in floor.
6.8: Need a very large white board.
6.9: Minimal storage in Lab – most is in Stock Room.
6.10: Locate with easy access to outside or agility lobby area – some labs need more space.
6.11: Ceiling supports for hanging (such as a pendulum). Structural to investigate.
6b.
Physics Lab Tech Office: (OF-01-P)
6b.1: 1 Lab Tech and 1 Work Study student space.

inches, width = 20 inches, height = 34 inches.
7.5: L-208 is now Large Classroom (next to stockroom for Astronomy and Physics Class - not
Physics Lab)
7.6: Storage in Large Classrooms: Casework for Storage for Natural Sciences, have about 3
cabinets. Nice to have 110 outlets along counter as well.
7.7: Possible new classroom (lg) locations: should be near entrance - at north is perferred because labs
can be locked down while they are accessible. Second possible location for lg classrooms is near new
east entry.
8. Pre-Lab Classrooms (CLS-01)
8.1: To be designed to accommodate pre-lab courses as well as teaching classrooms for other disciplines.

All factors are expressed in gross area unless marked “net.”
b
For the purpose of determining occupant load in mercantile occupancies where, due to differences in the finished ground level
of streets on different sides, two or more floors directly accessible from streets (not including alleys or similar back streets)
exist, each such floor is permitted to be considered a street floor. The occupant load factor is one person for each 40 ft2 (3.7
m2) of gross floor area of sales space.
c
For the purpose of determining occupant load in mercantile occupancies with no street floor, as defined in 3.3.253, but with
access directly from the street by stairs or escalators, the floor at the point of entrance to the mercantile occupancy is considered the street floor.
d
For any food court or other assembly use areas located in the mall that are not included as a portion of the gross leasable area
of the mall building, the occupant load is calculated based on the occupant load factor for that use as specified in Table
7.3.1.2. The remaining mall area is not required to be assigned an occupant load.
e
The portions of the mall that are considered a pedestrian way and not used as gross leasable area are not required to be assessed an occupant load based on Table 7.3.1.2. However, means of egress from a mall pedestrian way are required to be provided for an occupant load determined by dividing the gross leasable area of the mall building (not including anchor stores) by
the appropriate lowest whole number occupant load factor from Figure 7.3.1.2(a) or Figure 7.3.1.2(b).
Each individual tenant space is required to have means of egress to the outside or to the mall based on occupant loads calculated by using the appropriate occupant load factor from Table 7.3.1.2.
Each individual anchor store is required to have means of egress independent of the mall.

Initial Ideas and Suggestions from the MSE L Building Renovation Team
The items below represent preliminary ideas and suggestions regarding the L Building redesign project.
Various proposals are being researched and debated. The MSE L Building Renovation Team will continue
to meet in the upcoming weeks to compile a prioritized list of suggestions for this project. The ideas and
suggestions below were discussed at the Team’s January 25th and February 8th meetings. The Team will
likely meet again on Friday, February 15th.
I Specific discussions regarding the individual labs and classrooms in L Building
• Chemistry – An integrated lab/pre-lab would be desirable instead of the current situation in which the prelabs are held in separate classrooms (L201 and L203). Expand the L209 lab northward into the CHEM stockroom so that it is large enough to accommodate the lab itself as well as a separate “classroom” area where
pre-labs can be held. Expand the L205 lab northward into L203 and L201 so that it, too, could accommodate
the lab and pre-lab area. This would require the CHEM stockroom to be shifted northward as well and expand
into the current L205 lab space. A divider (removable screens) can be utilized between the “lab” and “prelab” areas.
• The redesigned Chemistry labs should be standardized so that they can accommodate a variety of labs. The
design of L209 is already standardized. The redesigned labs should both look like the current L209 lab.
• It is recommended that the cap for all Chemistry labs not exceed the current cap of 24 students for safety reasons.
• Biology – There were a number of general suggestions pertaining to all of the biology labs including:
1) Move the electrical outlets to the tops of benches. They are currently on the sides of the benches which
causes numerous problems.
2) Install rubber flooring (Chemistry would like this as well).
3) Need seating for handicapped students. Also, the room should be designed so that handicapped students
have access to entire lab space.
4) New cabinetry
5) The current cadaver room can be used for storing models since cadavers will no longer be used in the BIO
2292 and 2392 labs after Summer 2014.
• L109 and L111 (former FT Faculty offices) should be converted into a lab dedicated to BIO 1492. Each bench
should have a sink.
• L113 will house BIO 1392 (non-majors A & P) as well as “overflow” from BIO 2292 and BIO 2392 (majors A &
P).
• L102 will house BIO 1092 as well as BIO 1492 overflow.
• L101 will house BIO 1192, BIO 1592, BIO 1692, BIO 2492 and BIO 2592.
• Astronomy/Physics – L204 could be redesigned. ASTR/PHYS Faculty will research possible alternative floor
plans.
• L206 (ASTR/PHYS stockroom) - Could be expanded into L 204 as L204 is a large lab and has “room to spare”.
This stockroom will need to expand due to the addition of EPS (Geology) labs. These labs require quite a bit
of materials (rocks, etc.) that need to be housed in this stockroom. Currently, most of these materials are in
John Roger’s PT office space in KC Building.
• L100 and L200 could be remodeled to serve as “student gathering spaces”. The team recommends that a
“coffee shop” NOT be included in the renovation plan for L Building as food is strictly prohibited in the labs!

AP4-7
II The team recommends that an addition be built to house one or two large lecture rooms where
ASTR, BIO, CHEM and PHYS lectures could be scheduled. These large lecture rooms should be
designed to be able to accommodate “team-based” learning for those instructors wishing to
implement this strategy in their lectures.
III L208 – The redesign of L208 will depend on whether or not an addition is built onto the existing
L Building as suggested in IV above.
• If an addition housing one or two large lecture rooms is included in the L Building renovation, then L208
should be redesigned into a new “multi-purpose” lab. This new lab would house Earth and Planetary Science
(EPS) labs as well as Geography labs. It is possible that Natural Science classes could utilize this room as well.
It would be desirable for the design of this lab to mimic that of the L205 and L209 CHEM labs suggested above
with separate pre-lab and lab areas.
• If no addition with large lecture rooms is included in the renovation plans then it is critical that the L208 space
be dedicated for large lectures. The room should be redesigned to accommodate these large lectures. Currently, the layout of the room is rather awkward for large lectures since it was converted from a lab facility to
a lecture room.
IV Instrumentation Room – It is recommended that an Instrumentation Room be designed on the
second floor to house Chemistry equipment such as the GCMS, FT-IR Spectrometer, NMR, etc.
This room need not be large, perhaps the size of a “large closet”.
V It is recommended that the same supplier handle the entire HVAC system. Having separate
suppliers for the air handlers and controls (programming, sensors, etc.) leads to problems.

Geology Lab Requirements in a Nutshell
John Rogers
February 14th, 2013
As I see it, all geology labs are versatile in terms of physical space and being able to share
with other disciplines. There is only one absolutely critical feature that a geology lab needs
– storage space; sturdy storage space for an abundance of rocks and minerals (also maps,
scales, etc.). And this space needs to be very close at hand.
Having taught the introductory geology lab in both L102 and WS1 105, some nice-to-haves
have become apparent:
Lighting
• L102 has okay lighting, but WS1 105 has excellent lighting. Good lighting greatly
aids rock and mineral identification, as well as map reading. The excellent lighting
of WS1 105 is due to windows, abundant ceiling lights, and under-cabinet lighting.
Counter space
• Both labs have adequate counter space along the walls which is necessary for
spreading out rocks, minerals, fossils, and microscopes.
Uncluttered bench tops
• As much as I like WS1 105, lab benches are cluttered with electrical outlets and
computer equipment; L102 benches have gas outlets. These topographic features
make it challenging to work with maps. For map work, broad, flat surfaces are best.
Good lighting, abundant counter space, and uncluttered bench tops are nice, but not critical.
Only storage space is critical.

L Building Renovation Team Meeting Notes
February 8, 2013
11:00 am – 12:30 pm
JS 312
Attendees: Anna Gilletly, Mark Danley, Shawn Wright, Shield Wallace, John Rogers, Ron Weaver,
Rick Snow, Clarissa Sorensen, Heather Aydelott, Philip Carman
I The team was informed that its work must be accomplished in a very tight timeframe. Sydney
Gunthorpe and Luis Campos will be meeting with the L Building architects on March 18th. This
team’s recommendations for the renovation project must be completed before this time.
II Several team members presented data and ideas for the team’s consideration:
• Anna compiled and distributed a list of priorities for the Biology labs.
• Mark had researched possible lab design floor plans quite extensively.
• John compiled a list of “likes and dislikes” regarding the new Earth and Planetary Science lab at the WS campus. The hope is to use this experience to ensure that the L Building labs are designed optimally.
III Specific discussions regarding the individual labs and classrooms in L Building
• Chemistry – An integrated lab/pre-lab would be desirable instead of the current situation in which the prelabs are held in separate classrooms (L201 and L203). Expand the L209 lab northward into the CHEM stockroom so that it is large enough to accommodate the lab itself as well as a separate “classroom” area where
pre-labs can be held. Expand the L205 lab northward into L203 and L201 so that it, too, could accommodate
the lab and pre-lab area. This would require the CHEM stockroom to be shifted northward as well and expand
into the current L205 lab space. A divider (removable screens) can be utilized between the “lab” and “prelab” areas.
• The redesigned Chemistry labs should be standardized so that they can accommodate a variety of labs. The
design of L209 is already standardized. The redesigned labs should both look like the current L209 lab.
• It is recommended that the cap for all Chemistry labs not exceed the current cap of 24 students for safety reasons.

2) Install rubber flooring (Chemistry would like this as well).
3) Need seating for handicapped students. Also, the room should be designed so that handicapped students
have access to entire lab space.
4) New cabinetry
5) The current cadaver room can be used for storing models since cadavers will no longer be used in the BIO
2292 and 2392 labs after Summer 2014.
• L109 and L111 (former FT Faculty offices) should be converted into a lab dedicated to BIO 1492. Each bench
should have a sink.
• L113 will house BIO 1392 (non-majors A & P) as well as “overflow” from BIO 2292 and BIO 2392 (majors A &
P).

• L102 will house BIO 1092 as well as BIO 1492 overflow.
• L101 will house BIO 1192, BIO 1592, BIO 1692, BIO 2492 and BIO 2592.
• Astronomy/Physics – L204 could be redesigned. ASTR/PHYS Faculty will research possible alternative floor
plans.
• L206 (ASTR/PHYS stockroom) - Could be expanded into L 204 as L204 is a large lab and has “room to spare”.
This stockroom will need to expand due to the addition of EPS (Geology) labs. These labs require quite a bit
of materials (rocks, etc.) that need to be housed in this stockroom. Currently, most of these materials are in
John Roger’s PT office space in KC Building.
• L100 and L200 could be remodeled to serve as “student gathering spaces”. The team recommends that a
“coffee shop” NOT be included in the renovation plan for L Building as food is strictly prohibited in the labs!
IV The team recommends that an addition be built to house one or two large lecture rooms where
ASTR, BIO, CHEM and PHYS lectures could be scheduled. These large lecture rooms should be
designed to be able to accommodate “team-based” learning for those instructors wishing to
implement this strategy in their lectures.
V L208 – The redesign of L208 will depend on whether or not an addition is built onto the existing
L Building as suggested in IV above.
• If an addition housing one or two large lecture rooms is included in the L Building renovation, then L208
should be redesigned into a new “multi-purpose” lab. This new lab would house Earth and Planetary Science
(EPS) labs as well as Geography labs. It is possible that Natural Science classes could utilize this room as well.
It would be desirable for the design of this lab to mimic that of the L205 and L209 CHEM labs suggested above
with separate pre-lab and lab areas.
• If no addition with large lecture rooms is included in the renovation plans then it is critical that the L208 space
be dedicated for large lectures. The room should be redesigned to accommodate these large lectures. Currently, the layout of the room is rather awkward for large lectures since it was converted from a lab facility to

I Phil updated the team on the proceedings of the previous day’s Building/Technology Committee
meeting:
• Negotiations with the architectural firm are ongoing. The Governing Board will vote on the “RFP 327 L Building Evaluation Committee’s” recommendation at their March 13th (or 12th?) meeting.
• If the Governing Board approves the Committee’s recommendation then it is hoped that the architectural firm
will be on board on March 15th. At that time, the identity of the firm awarded the contract will be made public.
• The scope of the renovation project, and the funds available, should be known by May 1st.

glass partition with door
• The pre-lab lecture rooms would be next to their respective labs and separated by a glass partition with a
door.
• A very narrow corridor would be installed from the stockroom through the pre-lab rooms (along the west
wall) and into the labs. This corridor would permit the transfer of materials from the stockroom into the labs
without disturbing students in the pre-lab rooms. It would also eliminate the access of students into the
stockroom. With our current stockroom, students can “wander” into the stockroom directly from the labs
which can be hazardous. This design will greatly reduce the ability of students to wander into the stockroom.
• A small Instrumentation room would be installed along the south wall of L209. This would accommodate the
IR Spectrometer, GCMS, NMR, and other instruments.
• Three additional hoods must be added to the existing L205 lab so that it is “standardized” and will be able to
May 2013
CNM Building L - Programming Document
AP4-18
accommodate any of our CHEM labs. This will improve the versatility of the lab.
• “Cubbies” for student materials should be provided in the pre-lab lecture rooms.
• The current lab benches in the CHEM labs are of excellent quality and do not need to be replaced. Polishing
them would be nice but, otherwise, they are fine.
III Biology – The desired usage of the Biology labs (existing and new) will be the same as that
outlined in the last meeting. Those are summarized below:
• L101 will house BIO 1192, 1592, 1692, 2492 and 2592
• L102 will house BIO 1092 and the BIO 1492 overflow
• L106 will continue to accommodate the BIO 2292 and 2392 labs
• L109 and L111 (new lab converted from faculty offices) will be dedicated to BIO 1492
• L113 will accommodate BIO 1392 and overflow from BIO 2292 and BIO 2392
• The cadaver room will be used for storage for A & P models. Since cadavers will no longer be used in BIO
2292 and 2392, additional models will need to be purchased and stored.
• L107 will continue to be utilized for lab tech offices and also serve as a faculty workroom. It is recommended
that drawers be installed beneath the Instructor mailboxes where Instructors could store class/lab materials.
These drawers should be about the size of a “copy paper” box.
IV Other general recommendations
• The existing hoods in the CHEM labs are currently operating just fine.
• The new HVAC system/hoods must not generate too much noise. If the noise generated is excessive then it
will negatively impact instruction.
• The cabinets in the Biology labs and in L105 (BIO stockroom) are made of particle board and are falling apart.
For maximum durability, steel cabinets/doors are recommended.
• “Cubbies” should be installed in the Biology labs. Another possibility would be to install benches with cabinets and/or drawers in which students could store their belongings.
• In thinking of the future with online labs and students accessing the labs from off campus, cameras should be
installed in the labs with one camera having a clear view of the Instructor’s bench.
• The Wi-Fi in the building needs to be improved. Currently, it takes a laptop 20 minutes to boot up.
V Addition to building – If an addition is built then it is recommended that it include two large
lecture halls that could accommodate the large science lecture classes. These new lecture halls
should include the following:
• They should be able to accommodate collaborative learning strategies.
• An Instructor’s table with gas, water, electrical power and a sink should be provided to enable the inclusion of
class demonstrations.
• A podium that is wired for technology

departments to inquire about using their facilities during the L Building renovation. UNM’s Biology
department has responded and indicated that it may be possible. However, UNM’s Chemistry
department is in the same pickle as CNM. Their primary Chemistry lab facility, Clark Hall, is
scheduled for renovations at the same time as the L Building. The team members suggested
contacting other schools and institutions requesting permission to use their lab facilities including
Lovelace Hospital, SIPI, Atrisco Heritage, Sandia Prep, ABQ Academy, Del Norte HS and Volcano
Vista HS.
VII “Homework” – Team members will compile a list of needs/wants for the renovated L Building.
These items will be prioritized at our next meeting. They will be grouped into the following
categories: structural, technology, furniture and “miscellaneous”.

Attendees: Clarissa Sorensen, Ron Weaver, Heather Aydelott, Mark Danley, Rick Snow, John Rogers,
Shawn Wright, Shield Wallace, Linda Martin, Philip Carman
Absent: Anna Gilletly
I List of Priorities
• Mark and Anna provided a list of priorities for the biology labs. These priorities were divided into 3 categories: structural, technology, furniture/miscellaneous.
II Standardized labs
• Shield provided a detailed list of requirements for a standard chemistry lab. As stressed in previous meetings, the current L209 lab is already standardized and all chemistry labs should be similarly equipped
and configured.
• Shawn provided a detailed diagram illustrating the floor plan for a standardized biology lab.
• It was determined that one type of standardized biology lab could accommodate both wet and dry biology labs.
• Microbiology labs cannot be used for any other types of biology labs because of serious risks of contamination.
CNM has experienced issues with this in the past.
• It would be very difficult to design a multi-purpose lab that could accommodate both biology and chemistry.
One of the reasons deals with the shelving needed for the chemistry labs. The shelving “gets in the way” for
biology labs since many biology labs require a large flat surface area. The shelving breaks up the available
surface area on the chemistry benches.
• Astronomy, Physics, Geology (Earth and Planetary Science) and Geography can be accommodated in the same
lab. In addition, a standardized biology lab can also accommodate Geology and Geography labs.
• All labs should have ceiling mounted cameras so that they are equipped for the implementation of “virtual”
labs that could be offered as DL classes.
III Ideas for Room Usage
• New Biology Lab – It was suggested that L105 and L107 be merged and converted into a new biology lab.
• L109 and L111 – These rooms can be merged to serve multiple purposes. The room would serve as a stockroom as well as a break room and workroom for faculty and as office space for the Biology lab techs. This
would include mailboxes for instructors, a copy machine, a couple of work stations with computers, refrigerator, etc.
• L208/New Chemistry lab – Since CNM is developing a new chemistry lecture and lab combo, CHEM 1010
and CHEM 1092, the demand for lab space will increase and a new chemistry lab will be required. In addition,
the demand for Organic Chemistry is increasing gradually and this trend is likely to continue. It was suggested
that L208 be outfitted as the new chemistry lab since this room was used as a lab previously and already has
plumbing, etc. In addition, L208 can be partitioned into two rooms. A smaller portion of the room could be
converted into a classroom that could serve as a pre-lab room and also accommodate other classes if necessary.
However, this would reduce the available lab space in the remaining part of the room. This will likely require
that the lab classes scheduled in this lab would have a cap of 18 students like the chemistry labs at JMMC.
• L204/Astronomy and Physics – This room is very large and this room could also be partitioned into two rooms.

The smaller room would serve as a pre-lab room for chemistry labs as well as a general purpose classroom.
The larger room would continue to be used for Astronomy and Physics. In addition, Geology and Geography
labs could be held in this lab if needed.
• L110/Cadaver room – Since CNM will be discontinuing the use of cadavers, this room will be needed to store
the additional models that will be required for the A & P labs.
• L207/Chemistry Stockroom – The area in the rear of the Chemistry Stockroom that is currently used by faculty
(mailboxes, etc.) will become the Instrumentation Room housing the GCMS, FT-IR Spectrometer, etc.
• L201 and L203 - These rooms can be merged into a large lecture room. It would need to be configured to be
able to support collaborative learning strategies (tables that can be moved, etc.).
• L200 and L100 – There are several possibilities for these rooms. One idea is to convert L 200 into a break
room/workroom for faculty since the small faculty space in the back of L207 will be converted into an Instrumentation Room. Then L100 could be converted into a small student computer lab. Another idea is to continue to use L100 as a classroom. However, if this is done, the room needs significant modifications. Its current
size and configuration are not conducive to learning. If the room can be expanded and reconfigured then it
could still be utilized as a classroom.
IV Possible Addition to the L Building – If an addition to the existing L Building is approved then there
are many possibilities. The addition could house additional standardized Biology and Chemistry
labs as well as large lecture rooms.

L Building Renovation Team Meeting Notes
January 25, 2013
9:00 am – 10:30 am
JS 312
Attendees: Anna Gilletly, Mark Danley, Shawn Wright, Shield Wallace, John Rogers, Ron Weaver,
Rick Snow, Linda Martin, Phil Carman (absent: Clarissa Sorensen – conflict with UNM class)
I Phil provided an overview of the L Building renovation project including the following:
• There will be at least $5 million available for the project and possibly considerably more.
• The minimum scope of the renovation project will target the HVAC, electrical, roof and plumbing in the L
Building. In addition, a new entrance will be constructed where the current second floor east entrance faces
the academic mall.
• Depending on the funds available, significantly more ambitious renovations are possible including redesigning
of all existing labs, conversion of L208 into a lab, conversion of the former FT Biology Faculty offices into a lab
and an addition to the building housing one, or more, large lecture rooms.
• The time required for completion of the project ranges from approximately 12 to 20 months depending on
the approach taken. If the building is shut down completely for the duration of the project then it can be
completed in about 12 months. If the building is to remain partially operational throughout the project, then
20 months will be required.
II It was suggested that the team generate at least two proposals depending on the funds that are
ultimately available. One proposal would include all the desired changes necessary to turn the L
Building into a state of the art academic lab facility. Another, more modest, proposal would focus
on the most important renovations that the labs require. The team decided that the best approach
would be to prioritize our list of desired upgrades. This has the benefit of ensuring that the most
critical issues facing the building are addressed if the funds are insufficient to permit all of the
desired upgrades.
III The team spent quite a bit of time discussing the relocation of lab classes during the time that the
building or, at least, parts of it, are not operational. Aside from moving labs to other campuses,
more online labs can be developed and offered. In addition, we will look into the possibility of
moving some of our labs (CHEM and BIO) to UNM if they are willing to accommodate us.
IV Considering the demand for our various labs, the team will come up with suggestions for the
renovation of the L Building. Items to consider:
• Team members will assemble a list of things that are currently “wrong” with the building and absolutely must
be addressed during this project.
• What type of lab should be created from the first floor BIO Faculty offices?
• If L208 is converted into a lab then what type of lab would best suit our needs (BIO, EPS…?)
• If the existing lockers in the hallway are removed to create extra space in the halls, then what type of cabinets, shelving, etc., should be provided in the labs?
• Do we need more space for our prep/stock rooms?
• Are the labs too large? Can we make them smaller and build more labs thereby getting the most “bang for
our buck”?
