Project Approval, Scott Stadium Score/Video Board Replacement BACKGROUND: Normally, the Board of Visitors approves major capital projects every two years with update of the Major Capital Project program. When the University identifies new capital projects outside the biennial update of the Major Capital Project cycle, approval by the Buildings and Grounds and Finance Committees is required. The Finance Committee will review the related financial plan and the Buildings and Grounds Committee will review the proposed project for inclusion in the University’s Major Capital Projects Plan. DISCUSSION: The proposed project, with a budget of $2.4 million will enlarge the current video scoreboard from 21 feet (ft) by 28 ft to 32 ft by 57 ft. Higher resolution video, score and statistics displays will produce clearer, more vibrant images, increasing visibility. The expanded scoreboard will increase revenue opportunities without increasing static signage, light level or spread. The design, fabrication and installation will be paid by CBS Collegiate Sports Properties as part of the marketing agreement negotiated in 2006. ACTION REQUIRED: Approval by the Buildings and Grounds Committee, the Finance Committee, and by the Board of Visitors APPROVAL TO ADD THE SCOTT STADIUM SCORE/VIDEO BOARD REPLACEMENT TO THE UNIVERSITY’S MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS PLAN WHEREAS, the University proposes that the Scott Stadium Score/Video Board Replacement, budgeted at $2.4 million, be added to the University’s Major Capital Projects Program; RESOLVED, the Board of Visitors approves the addition of this project to the University’s Major Capital Projects Program. 6 UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA BOARD OF VISITORS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY BOARD MEETING: June 13, 2008 COMMITTEE: Buildings and Grounds AGENDA ITEM: II.B.1. Concept and Design Guidelines - New Cabell Hall Renovation Project $80,000,000 – State General Funds BACKGROUND: This project will improve significantly the function, usefulness and appearance of New Cabell Hall to align with and support the teaching and research missions of the University and the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and will allow the building to better complement the South Lawn Project, which is currently under construction. The 159,129 gross square foot, five-story building has been well maintained, but never comprehensively modernized since its completion in 1952. There have been some classroom renovations, combinations and divisions of classrooms and offices, office refurbishments, and routine maintenance, but little of significance has been done to the building and its infrastructure. The renovation will address systems improvements, including replacing heating equipment and introducing central air conditioning throughout the building, elevator replacements, other mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades, as well as building code and ADA compliance. It will include improvements to the interior finishes throughout the building; creation of a new building lobby in the central area of the south wing and new public areas throughout the building; aesthetic and functional modifications to the existing central interior staircase; and improvements to the classrooms, offices and instructional technology. The project will provide a connection between the central entry to New Cabell Hall and the new South Lawn terrace, and improved interior and exterior accessible paths. The landscape in the courtyard between Cabell Hall and New Cabell Hall will be improved and made more accessible, and the landscape on the south side of the building will be integrated with that of the South Lawn Project. 7 DISCUSSION: The Office of the Architect has prepared the concept and design guidelines. Mr. Neuman will review the guidelines with the Committee. ACTION REQUIRED: Committee Approval by the Buildings and Grounds APPROVAL OF CONCEPT AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE NEW CABELL HALL RENOVATION PROJECT RESOLVED, the concept and design guidelines, dated June 13, 2008, and prepared by the Architect for the University for the New Cabell Hall Renovation Project, are approved; and RESOLVED FURTHER, the project will be presented for further review at the schematic design level of development. 8 New Cabell Hall Renovations Concept and Design Guidelines A) Proposed Project Concept The New Cabell Hall Renovation Project will significantly improve the function, usefulness and appearance of New Cabell Hall to align with and support the teaching and research missions of the University and the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and will allow the building to better complement the South Lawn Project, which is currently under construction. New Cabell Hall was designed by Eggers and Higgins and completed in 1952 as the centerpiece of an effort to refocus the University’s academic and social activity on the Lawn. The five story plus basement, 159,129 gsf building remains the significant academic building for the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, with over 50 classrooms, 390 offices for faculty and staff, and approximately 13,000 assignable square feet (asf) in other departmental spaces such as conference rooms. The building has been well maintained, but never comprehensively modernized. There have been some classroom renovations, combinations and divisions of classrooms and offices, office refurbishments, and routine maintenance, but little of significance has been done to the building since 1952. The renovation will address systems improvements, including replacing heating and introducing central air conditioning throughout the building, elevator replacement, other mechanical, electrical and plumbing upgrades, as well as building code and ADA compliance. It will include improvements to the interior finishes throughout the building; creation of a new building lobby in the central area of the south wing and new public areas throughout the building; modifications to the existing central interior staircase; and improvements to the classrooms, offices and instructional technology. The project will provide a connection between the south elevation of New Cabell Hall and the new South Lawn terrace, and improved interior and exterior accessible paths. The landscape in the courtyard between Cabell Hall and New Cabell Hall will be improved and made more accessible, and the landscape on the south side of the building will be integrated with that of the South Lawn Project. The project will comply with the University’s sustainability guidelines, including LEED certification. B) Design Guidelines Site Planning - Locate service access and trash/recycling area at the western side of the building. - Integrate the design of the new entrance at the center of the south façade with the crossing from the South Lawn Project. Circulation and Parking - Accommodate handicap and guest parking in the existing parking lot to the west of the building. 9 - Review existing sidewalks adjacent to the property and modify as needed to facilitate movement through the site. Provide better access to the interior courtyard from both the central lobby / stairs and the linking terrace adjacent to Cabell Hall. Design barrier-free access, which will include newly accessible entrances at the southwest and southeast corners of the building, and improved access at the northern entrances. Architecture - Introduce new central heating and air conditioning throughout the building with minimal effect on the interior or exterior. - Replace the existing elevator cabs and machinery. - Establish central staircase as a monumental stair with views to courtyard. - Develop new entrance to the building and entrance hall on the second floor at the south elevation. - Modify hallways throughout the building to introduce natural light and provide gathering spaces. - Renovate classrooms, hallways, and offices to provide new finishes and enhanced technology. - Consider all alterations to the building in the context of the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. - Evaluate and integrate the basic tenets of sustainable design for existing buildings to obtain base LEED certification at a minimum. Landscape - Comply with UVa Landscape Master Plan in overall design intent. - Integrate the landscape adjacent to the south side of the building with that of the South Lawn Project. - Develop courtyard between Cabell Hall and New Cabell Hall for easy access and passive recreation, while maintaining existing mature plantings. - Improve pedestrian circulation through and appearance of the landscape on the east side of the building. - Carefully screen services. - All site furnishings will comply with the UVa Facilities Design Guidelines; graphics will comply with University sign standards. - Landscape design must meet stormwater quality and quantity standards of the existing BMP. Review and Compliance The Office of the Architect for the University is responsible for the review and approval of project compliance with these guidelines. 10 11 Courtyard Central Entry South Lawn Site 12 UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA BOARD OF VISITORS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY BOARD MEETING: June 13, 2008 COMMITTEE: Buildings and Grounds AGENDA ITEM: II.B.2. Concept, Site, and Design Guidelines, The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Multipurpose Center $30 million – State General Funds BACKGROUND: Built in the 1960s, the existing Greear Gymnasium is in decline. Seating capacity, playing courts, building systems and support areas no longer meet the standards of college level competition and increasing game attendance. In addition, the building does not have the flexibility to accommodate activities such as concerts, performances, conferences and camps that would benefit the College and the region. Future renovations will improve the playing floors, the building systems and the appearance of the support facilities. However, even when renovated, the Greear facility will only be suitable for modest recreational activities. The new Multipurpose Center is intended to meet the anticipated growth in enrollment and the community during the coming years. Available to local schools and organizations, the improved facilities will strengthen local athletic programs and build community support. It will be designed as a flexible venue to accommodate a great variety of programs and functions. In addition to athletic events, the venue will support the activities of summer camps, campus gatherings, graduations and other special events. The project will serve as a multipurpose, regional amenity that will benefit both the local economy and the College. DISCUSSION: The Office of the Architect has prepared the concept, site and design guidelines. Mr. Neuman will review the guidelines with the Committee. ACTION REQUIRED: Committee Approval by the Buildings and Grounds 13 APPROVAL OF CONCEPT, SITE, AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA’S COLLEGE AT WISE MULTIPURPOSE CENTER RESOLVED, the concept, site, and design guidelines, dated June 13, 2008, and prepared by the Architect for the University, for The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Multipurpose Center are approved; and RESOLVED FURTHER, the project will be presented for further review at the schematic design level of development. 14 The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Multipurpose Center Concept, Site and Design Guidelines A) Proposed Project Concept The University of Virginia’s College at Wise (College) serves a diverse population that includes traditional residential students, students who commute from within the region and non-traditional students. The athletic and recreation programs are essential components of the College's mission to prepare students for graduate study, professional careers and a lifetime love of learning. The College and its facilities are also a vital resource and economic engine for the redevelopment of the local community. The College continues to build a diverse, talented, well-qualified coaching staff with a commitment to building an excellent athletic program, exceptional scholars and good citizens. Student athletes are accomplished on the fields/courts, in the classroom, and in the community. In addition to maintaining high academic standards, College at Wise teams earned 22 championship or regional/national qualification banners since 2001. When completed in the fall of 2011, the venue will be home to the Highland Cavaliers Men’s and Women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The new facility will allow UVA Wise to host post-season basketball and volleyball games for district, regional and state playoffs. Modern locker facilities, coach’s offices, a training room and a team study area will serve the athletes and staff. A flexibly designed Chancellor’s box with game seating will be used to support development and recruitment activities and also serve as a team conference facility. When configured for basketball games, the arena will have an intercollegiate sized court with appropriate run-off areas. For practice sessions, three adjacent courts will allow concurrent volleyball games or basketball practice. Men’s and women’s locker rooms will be provided for home and visitor teams. For arena events the facility will seat 3,000, with more accommodated in auditorium style (onfloor) seating. Permanent concessions will offer refreshments and memorabilia. The lobby will feature a “hall of fame” and will accommodate quays for ticketing or pre-assembly for events. Service access, parking, utilities and amenities are already on site, serving Carl Smith Stadium. These will be extended to support a variety of configurations and programs. 15 B) Siting Criteria The University of Virginia general siting criteria for all new facilities include the following components. Those highlighted are the most pertinent in determining the siting recommendation for the new College Multipurpose Center. • Conforms with overall land use plan and district/area plans. • Reinforces functional relationships with other components of the same department or program, and is compatible with other neighboring uses. • Satisfies access requirements- pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular and service. • Maximizes infill opportunities to utilize land resources and existing infrastructure. • Minimizes site development costs, including extension of utilities, access, loss of parking, mass grading, etc. • Minimizes opportunity cost; i.e., value of this use and size versus other alternatives. • Provides a size that is adequate, but not excessive, for initial program, future expansion, and ancillary uses. • Allows for incorporating sustainability principles in terms of solar orientation, reuse of historic structures, storm water management, etc. • Avoids unnecessary environmental impacts, including significant tree removal or filling of existing stream valleys. • Allows site visibility and aesthetic character as appropriate for the intended use and for the neighborhood. • Minimizes time for implementation of project. 16 C) Proposed Site Strategically located between the Wise lower campus and the town of Wise, the facility will be a physical, programmatic and symbolic link between the two. The new Multipurpose Center will share the entry drive and parking with Carl Smith Stadium, and will create a strong identity and defined entry to the upper campus. Located on an elevated plateau, the site provides scenic views of the College, mature forests, waterways, ponds and the surrounding mountains. It is in conformance with the 2006 University of Virginia’s College at Wise Campus Plan. Proposed Site Greear Gym The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Aerial View 2006 17 Site The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Campus Plan 2006 18 3 2 4 1 The University of Virginia’s College at Wise Upper Campus Key: 1. 2. 3. 4. Smith Field and Field House Practice Fields Storm Water Ponds Adjacent Parking Lot 19 D) Design Guidelines Site Planning - Building setback will be a minimum of 40’ from the access road edge. - The building will be sited to create a strong visual presence from the entry road and the stadium complex. - The views to the mountains and natural areas from the building will be considered in the building siting and the arrangement of interior and exterior public spaces. - Game and event days will be an important feature of College and community life. Exterior gathering space will accommodate a variety of outdoor activities, including tailgating, and provide unobstructed views to the lake and wetlands. - Generous and flexible service access is an important requirement for all types of building programs. Service access should be screened from view of the entry drive, lobby and visitor parking. Circulation and Parking - New pedestrian walks and landscape elements around the building, between facilities and parking will provide safe and attractive walkway access and improved circulation around the site. - Service access for delivery vehicles, athletes, performers, food service and other “back of house” functions will be clearly delineated so as not to cause conflict between operations and spectators. Architecture - The design will conform to the spirit and specific requirements of the 2000 Architectural Guidelines of the College at Wise and will compliment in form, scale and materials, the existing Carl Smith Stadium and will provide a consistent visual quality and affinity with other campus buildings. - The building will be visible from all four sides, as well as areas of higher elevation from major parking areas, as well as from Carl Smith Stadium. Care will be taken to offer well designed facades for all elevations and the roof itself. - Evaluate and integrate the basic tenets of sustainable design to achieve LEED certification. Landscape - Walkways will encompass planting and paving schemes to achieve coordinated pedestrian scale and welcoming exterior public spaces. - Plantings will not impede views to lake, natural areas or distant mountains. - Preserve trees and incorporate into design where possible. A survey will locate and the UVA Landscape Architect will tag significant trees to be preserved. - Screen service yard and loading areas. - Provide adequate pedestrian lighting. Review and Compliance The Office of the Architect for the University is responsible for the review and approval of project compliance with these guidelines 20 UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA BOARD OF VISITORS AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY BOARD MEETING: June 13, 2008 COMMITTEE: Buildings and Grounds AGENDA ITEM: II.C.

Reviews of design and construction documents increased similarly over the previous year as did the number of construction inspections in preparation for final inspections for Certificate of Use and Occupancy. Notable achievements included issuing 105 building permits, conducting 320 project reviews for 124 projects, and issuing Certificates of Use and Occupancy for Varsity Hall, Culbreth Road Parking Garage, Hedge House (Change of Use), and Rouss-Robertson Hall (before classes began on January 16, 2008). In addition to participation in design development workshops, the Review Unit participated in four Value Management studies which identified potential cost savings without loss of value or function. As a result of these Value Management studies, cost saving measures totaling $7.7 million were adopted. Background The Management Agreement between the Commonwealth of Virginia and the University of Virginia pursuant to the Restructured Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act of 2005 provides that the University designate a Building Official responsible for building code compliance. Effective July 1, 2006, Richard H. Rice, Jr., P.E. was designated the University Building Official, and is responsible for: - Issuing permits for each capital project required by the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code to have a building permit; - Determining the suitability for occupancy of, and issuing certifications for building occupancy for all capital projects requiring such certification. Review Unit Under the terms of the Management Agreement the University is also required to maintain a Review Unit of qualified professionals to review plans, specifications and documents for compliance with building codes and standards, and perform required inspection of work in progress and completed capital projects. The University has maintained a Review Unit since 1991 under delegated State authority, that excluded fire and life safety reviews, for Agencies 207, 209 and 246. When the Medical Center was granted autonomy in 1996, the Review Unit assumed responsibility for all building code functions for Agency 209 facilities, including fire and life safety reviews. With the new authority granted through the Management Agreement in July, 2006, the University Building Official and Review Unit gained full authority for all three agencies. The Review Unit is staffed by six professionals licensed by the Commonwealth; four engineers and two architects (one part time), and their vitae are provided in this report. 41 The University Building Official and the Review Unit work closely with the State Fire Marshal’s office and the University Fire Marshal to insure compliance with applicable fire and life safety codes. Further, no Certificates of Use and Occupancy are issued until they have been inspected and approved by the State Fire Marshal. The Review Unit is taking full advantage of the authority granted by the Management Agreement, completing fire and life safety reviews sooner than previously experienced when such reviews were conducted by staff in Richmond. In addition, as the Review Unit staff stays in constant communication with the UVA project managers and visit their projects, when a project has progressed to the point where it is ready for occupancy all issues have been resolved and Certificates of Use and Occupancy are issued promptly. The Review Unit also supports the University community on a variety of technical and code related questions, ranging from helping building trades personnel with code questions for jobs they may have in progress to working with Facilities Management personnel responsible for integrating operational fire alarm and fire protection systems into the University Systems Control. The Review Unit supports Facilities Management personnel and the University community on a variety of technical and code related questions, applications, and problem solving. In a continuing role of inter-community relations between the University, City of Charlottesville, and County of Albemarle, the Review Unit in 2007-2008 was engaged in a value engineering study for a transportation center for the City of Charlottesville, and a constructability review of an elementary school addition and renovation for the County of Albemarle. Reviews 320 project reviews (18% increase) were completed from July 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008 for a total of 124 projects. Major capital projects included South Lawn, Claude Moore Medical Education Building, Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center, South Chiller Plant Expansion, Observatory Hill New Residence Hall, Bavaro Hall, College at Wise Science Building Renovations, College at Wise Smiddy Hall-IT Building, College at Wise Dining Hall, and College at Wise Student Residence. Members of the University Building Official Review Unit participate in a variety of consulting roles for building code related issues such as athletic field lighting replacements, modification of the Rotunda fire protection system to prevent water damage from original deluge sprinkler system, the applicable maintenance requirements for cooking exhaust systems, and structural evaluations of existing buildings due to deterioration and vehicular damages. Of the projects reviewed 49 were Academic projects, 51 were Health System (Hospital, School of Medicine and School of Nursing) projects, 4 were College at Wise projects, 10 were Housing/Business Operations projects, 6 were Athletics projects, and the remainder were not attributable to these categories. Notable examples, in addition to those mentioned above, include Monroe Hall Renovations; a series of Culbreth Theater projects; five 42 projects in the Central Grounds Historic District; phased Hospital Radiology Department renovations; addition and renovations of Chancellor’s House at College at Wise; McCue Center renovations; Telephone Exchange Infrastructure; Law School Faculty Offices; University Chapel fire alarm system; Central Tower Hospital Bed Expansion; Old Medical School Portico restoration; Hospital Emergency Power upgrade for added capacity and emergency notifications; Moser Radiation Center linear accelerator replacement; numerous Hospital renovations; research related renovations; and upgrades to accommodate cooling of information technology equipment. Building Permits and Certificates of Use and Occupancy 105 building permits (90% increase) were processed along with 6 temporary structure (platforms and bleachers) permits from July 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008; requiring technical assistance by one or more of the members of the Review Unit in addition to the permit processing itself. Final Certificates of Use and Occupancy (CUO) were issued for Varsity Hall, the Hedge House at the Miller Center (as a change in use from residential to business), the Culbreth Road (Arts Grounds) Parking Garage, and Rouss-Robertson. The opening of RoussRobertson in time for the Spring semester 2008 was made possible through an outstanding team effort by Gilbane Construction as the Construction Management firm, the State Fire Marshal, the Project Management team, the Review Unit Fire Protection Engineer, the tireless efforts of Facilities Management Fire Safety shop personnel, and the staff of the McIntire School of Commerce. Value Management In conjunction with the Office of the Architect for the University the Review Unit participated in Value Management studies for four capital projects with a fifth study scheduled. • Claude Moore Medical Education Building, at pre-construction phase • Bavaro Hall (Curry School of Education), at preliminary design phase • Smiddy Hall – IT Building, at schematic design phase • Hospital Central Tower Bed Expansion, at preliminary design phase In lieu of the former (Bureau of Capital Outlay Management) 40-hour preliminary design Value Engineering process, this evolving joint value management effort with the Architect for the University for projects of $5 million or greater, begins at the schematic design phase when there is greater opportunity to implement construction cost savings and add value to the functional design. Total savings identified and adopted during the four studies completed this fiscal year is approximately $7.7 Million The Review Unit participated in a preliminary value engineering study for the City of Charlottesville for a transportation center which resulted in a projected total accumulative cost reduction of $2.66M for a Transportation Facility. 43 Support for the University Community • The Review Unit assists organizations in the University community on code and design issues, performing design services for small projects when the time permits, participating in professional organizations, and when appropriate assisting community governmental administrations or other institutions of higher education. • Members of the Review Unit have also provided advice and assistance to student projects. • Rapid response to potential public safety issues such as the evidence of exterior brick veneer support problems, monitoring pre-stressed reinforcement cables at the Law School, structural investigations related to vehicular accident, and maintaining essential fire exit routes from existing buildings affected by nearby construction. • Serving the community beyond the University. The Review Unit engaged in a value engineering study for a transportation center for the City of Charlottesville, and a constructability review of an elementary school addition and renovation for the County of Albemarle. 44 University Building Official and Review Unit Biographical Information University Building Official: Richard H.
