The site of the new Allied Health Facility is south of the main campus building. This new addition consists of four stories and partial basement, encompassing a total of approximately 69,000 sf. This new building will abut the south facade of the existing main campus building, providing physical through-communication between them on the first floor level with 4 hour fire separation between the main building and the new facility. This entails removal of a portion of the south wall of the existing building and refinish connection delineated in the Drawings. The four (4) floors of the New Allied Health Facility will encompass state-of-the-art smart classrooms, different types of labs related to various medical care sectors and emergency response training, large and small meeting rooms, administrative and staff offices and Facility Support & Amenities. The facility will also include a Conference Center. The basement level will house heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, fire protection pump and domestic water pumps, electrical service equipment and storage. An additional roof top unit will be located on the roof of the connector/collaboration hub. The structure is a steel column and beam frame with concrete slab floors on metal deck. The roof is flat with single-ply roofing, with sloped structural framing. There are two (2) stairs for vertical access. One of which will access the roof level. Each floor will have a functional core of toilet rooms, janitor closets and elevator bank. There is a one level atrium through the second floor toward the center of the building, near the elevator lobby. It is expected that The New Allied Health Facility will be designed and constructed to be compliant with and target USGBC LEED v.4 BD+C-Silver certification.
