Project Description:

This project will renovate Dobson Hall, a 1964 four story plus basement residence hall, (37,859 ASF /66,280 GSF) and Melcher Hall, a 1965 four story plus basement residence hall, (31,093 ASF/ 55,905 GSF). The project will shift the toilet-shower rooms in Dobson Hall to better align the building circulation and create open lounge space near the center of the floor. This design will take two resident rooms off-line in order to create ADA accessible shower space. Two lounges will then be converted into resident rooms so the bed count will not be reduces. In Dobson, the toilet-shower rooms will undergo a major renovation to the plumbing systems. The project will also replace both buildings’ mechanical systems with A/C in the basement of Dobson only. Electrical to be upgraded and the emergency power to support life safety will be provided by utilizing the existing generator at Porter Hall. Sprinkler systems are to be added to both buildings. Common spaces to be reconfigured to accommodate current program requirements, upgrade finishes throughout, and reconcile code and accessibility non-compliant conditions by replacing entrance doors and adding a new elevator in Dobson Hall; and adding a stair shaft in Melcher. The project will follow DFD sustainability standards.

A. Site Conditions

Melcher and Dobson Halls are adjacent building located in the central campus. The site offers convenient vehicular access to Dobson Hall thus making Dobson a viable candidate for a fully accessible Resident Hall within central campus.

At Melcher Hall, modest re-grading at the main entrance will improve site surface drainage conditions.

Topography

The site is rolling and the existing sidewalk patterns will remain unchanged.

B. Zoning: No zoning modification is intended.

C. Utility Services

New 8” water mains will replace existing connections.

D. Historic preservation

Not Applicable

E. Environmental impact

The UW Platteville has classified this as a Type 3 project requiring neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental impact statement.

F. Other legal / regulator or unresolved issues

Two variance regarding ADA applicability will be sought from Department of Commerce.

G. Schedule Issues

Both building renovation will occur during the 87 days between the end of the academic year and the beginning of the following year. The following strategies are developed to accommodate the short construction schedule:

• ACM Abatement will occur during winter break. • Basement selective demolition will occur during Spring break. • At the end of heating season the mechanical equipment in the basement

will be demolished. • Elevator and stair shafts construction will begin in March 2013. • The projects are designed with significant casework components to allow

for their advanced manufacturing.

a. The incoming electrical service is provided from the campus owned 12,470 volt primary power distribution system. A 15kV – Type MV-90, #4/0 feeder is routed via underground duct bank from pad mount switchgear SG-9 along Greenwood Ave into the Dobson Hall basement Transformer Room 38. Currently the west end of campus along Glenview Ave. is feed from a single circuit. The UW Platteville master plan outlines the future addition of sectionalizing switches with a second circuit to create a loop feed to this end of campus. Work associated with the master plan and campus medium voltage distribution is not part of this project. Modifications to the 15kV feeder serving Dobson Hall are not anticipated.

b. The existing 150kVA unit substation is not of sufficient size to accommodate the increased electrical demand and will be replaced. The new unit substation, located within the existing Transformer Room 38, will consist of three sections: one 15kV fused interrupter switch section, one 225kVA - 12,470 to 208y/120 volt dry-type transformer section and one 800A-3P secondary main circuit breaker with digital metering section. The main breaker will be 100% rated, insulated case, solid state electronic type with adjustable trip settings. The existing 12,470 volt feeder will be terminated on the new equipment.

c. Removal of the existing unit substation and installation of new equipment will create a sustained power outage. Temporary provisions will need to be arranged which include a 100A-208y/120V, 3 Phase feeder from Porter Hall MDP.

d. Transformer Room 38 has an existing perimeter ground bus which will remain. The bussing will be modified to accommodate a new service door into the transformer room.

e. Historical Peak Demand – 104kW February 2012

2. Low Voltage Power Distribution a. A main-lug main distribution panel, MDP, will be dead front construction

and wall mounted within the existing Electrical Room 36. Low voltage distribution panels will have copper bus and shall utilize thermal magnetic, molded case circuit breakers for feeders up to 200 amps. Feeders 200 amps and larger shall utilize plug-on molded case, electronic trip type with adjustable settings.

b. Feeders shall be copper or aluminum, provided the aluminum feeders are compliant with DFD specifications. All feeders will be installed in conduit.

c. Two normal feeders will be extended from MDP to the normal side of the emergency transfer switches:

• Emergency Loads – NEC 700 • Legally Required Standby NEC 701 & Optional Standby Loads

NEC 702 d. Branch circuit panelboards shall be of dead front construction, copper

bussing and shall utilize bolt-on molded case circuit breakers.


Panelboards shall have space for 42, 54 or 84 single pole branch breakers.

b. The 600A-3P Melcher Hall feeder breaker and 1200A-3P main breaker installed within the Porter Hall MDP should be evaluated for coordination. While coordination is not required by code, it is good design practice to reduce the ability for a fault in Melcher to open the 1200A main prior to opening the 600A feeder breaker.

c. Historical Peak Demand – 71kW November 2011

2. Low Voltage Power Distribution a. A new main-breaker, main distribution panel, MDP, will be dead front

construction and wall mounted within the existing Electrical Room 29. Low voltage distribution panels will have copper bus and shall utilize thermal magnetic, molded case circuit breakers for feeders up to 200 amps. Feeders 200 amps and larger shall utilize plug-on molded case, electronic trip type with adjustable settings.

b. Feeders shall be copper or aluminum, provided the aluminum feeders are compliant with DFD specifications. All feeders will be installed in conduit.

selective coordination of life safety distribution system. • A new panelboard L will be added to supply the laundry room loads. • A new panelboard M will be added to supply mechanical room loads.

b. First Floor:

• Panelboards C & D will be demolished with tubs to remain as pull/splice boxes.

• A new panelboard will be added in the east recycling room to supply branch circuits to east wing resident rooms. Panelboard “#A” will be provided with sub-feed lugs and share a common feeder from MDP.

Distribution – Emergency Power

1. Service a. 208y/120V, 3 phase, 4 wire emergency power is provided from panelboard

E in Porter Hall. A 70A-3P breaker is installed within Porter Hall’s panelboard E. Modifications to the underground service feeder or the feeder breaker is not anticipated.

b. The intent of panelboard E (Porter) and EA (Melcher) is to provide generator power to emergency loads, NEC 700. At present, both emergency and optional standby loads are connected to the panelboards. Any non-emergency loads in Melcher Hall will be removed from panelboard EA. No provisions are being made to supply generator power to optional standby loads and therefore those circuits which are removed from panelboard EA will be re-circuited to the nearest normal power branch circuit panelboard.

c. It is unlikely that the 20A-1P branch breaker installed in panelboard EA will coordinate with the upstream 50A-3P MCB in panelboard EA, the 70A-3P feeder breaker in panelboard E and the 100A-3P circuit breaker installed within the Porter Hall Generator. The generator breaker type requires further investigation and fusible panelboards may be explored to achieve coordination. There appears to be a condition where a branch circuit fault in Melcher could open the generator MCB and de-energize emergency power to both Porter, Melcher, Dobson and future Morrow Halls.

d. Panelboard EA serving emergency loads will remain installed within the same room as the normal power distribution equipment.

E. Renewable Energy Sources

Solar domestic water heating was investigated but demonstrated cost effective for this project.

F. Life Cycle Cost Analysis Summary

1. The use of solar domestic water heating was analyzed for potential use on this project using the DSF discounted energy payback form. The analysis found that this option has a discounted payback exceeding 50 years. Given the payback exceeded 15 years and the life of the proposed system, this option has not been implemented.

2. The use of energy recovery wheels for the toilet exhaust systems for both Melcher and Dobson halls was evaluated using the DSF discounted energy payback form. This analysis resulted in a discounted payback of 9.5 years for Melcher Hall and 14.3 years for Dobson Hall. Since the paybacks were less than 15 years, the design team was directed to implement the energy recovery wheels.
