2 University Hall Demolition EFI Global, Inc. ARC Construction Services ASU and Texas Tech officials selected the consulting firm EFI Global Incorporated to design abatement and demolition plans for this building. Recently, ARC Abatement was awarded the contract for the project which will start within the next 30 days. At this time, the duration of the project is estimated to last throughout the summer months. When abatement and selective interior demolition has been completed, the building will be imploded and debris will be cleared for the new Plaza Verde dorm site. Porter Henderson Library Technology Renovations SHWGroup, LLP Consolidated Contractors The plan for the Porter Henderson Library IT Commons Renovation is to convert a portion of the first floor from current use as a periodical and research area to a library commons. The project will include office space for library and IT staff, storage space, workrooms, student service counters, seminar rooms and food service. Significant design and coordination with new fixtures, furniture and equipment will be required. It is anticipated that some improvements will need to be made to existing HVAC, electrical and lighting systems to accommodate more robust technology requirements. The project will include ADA and various code improvements plus demolition and reconstruction of interior finishes in approximately half of the first floor. The new area will have a separate entrance for use during extended hours. SHW Group was selected to lead the design and Consolidated Contractors will oversee construction at this facility. At this time, the project has been temporarily delayed due to legislative discussion over tuition increases. Carr Hall Bathroom Renovations Agnew Associates /CasaBella Architects - Consolidated Contractors ASU Office of Facilities Planning and Construction has employed a design team to develop plans and a scope of work for plumbing renovations to Carr Hall this summer.

3 Hardeman Renovation Student Service Center Good, Fulton and Farrell Architects Lee Lewis Construction Approximately 10,500 square feet of new construction is to be added to the current building.

Some site and landscape work is to be performed in the immediate area of the Hardeman Building to integrate the new design with the surrounding campus and adjacent surface parking lots. The project is anticipated to meet LEED Certification requirements at a minimum, with a goal of achieving LEED Silver Status. Total construction cost is anticipated to be $8.2 million. The design team is proceeding with plans and the contractor is pricing the project. Plaza Verde Dormitory Randall Scott Architects At this time, the design team is working with ASU representatives on design formats for the project. Parking Study for ASU Campus Walker Parking ASU OFPC ASU officials have discussed the parking study with the consultant and Texas Tech officials.

4 Temporary Office Space Hardeman Project ASU OFPC Nortex - Basic Industries Modular buildings are in place at the former site of Runnels Hall. The Nortex project manager will meet with FPC staff today and review completed construction of the buildings, ramp, steps and awnings. ASU has contracted the utility installations to Basic Industries. The plumbing, electrical and data services are being established at this time by local subcontractors. CHP Remodel F&S Partners Lee Lewis Construction Angelo State University has completed preliminary planning with F&S Partners. The scope of work of this project includes the addition of approximately 15,700 square feet of two-story, steel frame structure and interior renovations of the existing building. Initial programming addressed the square footage requirements and design of the project. Site work includes utility extension, site development and landscaping. The exterior will be a mixture of masonry and windows along the campus mall. Inside, a new weight/cardio room, rock climbing wall, and an elevated running track will be included in the construction. Existing racquetball courts, dance studio and weight room will receive new finishes under a later phase of construction. The vision of this renovation is to enhance student activities and campus life as well as promote health and wellness among student, faculty and staff. Lee Lewis Construction was hired as the construction manager at-risk firm to oversee construction of this project. At this time, design documents are being developed by the architect. 4
