Renovations to the existing Administration Building to provide assembly and exhibit space, collaborative learning space, and reorganized office environments for existing programs to afford efficient and optimized space use. Improvements would include transformation of the ground level of the building to create more openness and foster community, including a strong connection to the outdoor campus core to the south, which was the original organizing element (heart) of the campus during its inception.

Design and construction of a new 22,000 GSF facility to house the Diesel Program, the Facility Maintenance Division, and the Information Technology Division, combining compatible programs under one roof, and accounting for ASF deficit identified for these programs. This new facility would allow the college to vacate the existing Diesel facility at Lowry, currently in very poor condition and not recommended for renovation. This new facility would allow for a series of phased improvements to commence within the Administration Building at CentreTech Campus.

B: PROJECT SUMMARY/STATUS: The Community College of Aurora (CCA) is an open access public two-year community college that serves more than 10,000 students annually. Students attending CCA are preparing for entry into numerous career fields, securing an associate’s degree, or seeking transfer to a baccalaureate institution for further study. CCA has two campus locations: The CentreTech Campus, located at 16000 East CentreTech Parkway in Aurora, and the Lowry Campus, located at the former Lowry Air Force Base at 710 Alton Way in Denver.

A Master Plan for the two campuses was completed in fall 2017. Conclusions of the plan included:

• There is currently a deficit of space on the CentreTech Campus, primarily in student space, both academic support/collaborative learning space and student center space.

• The space deficit on the CentreTech Campus will increase to almost 45,000 assignable square feet (ASF) with projected enrollment increases on the campus.

• The Campus Facilities department is centrally located on the CentreTech Campus in space that can be better utilized for student support and administrative functions.

• Building 840 on the Lowry Campus, home of the Diesel Power Mechanics program, is unsuitable for continued academic use. • Building 840 has a Facility Condition Index (FCI) of 44% as indicated in the CCA Master Plan and Program Plan.

The recently completed Program Plan proposes the construction of a new Diesel and Support Services building that will serve as the Center for Engineering & Industrial Technology on CCA’s CentreTech Campus. The building will co-locate the existing Diesel Power Mechanics, Campus Facilities, and Information Technology functions in a single facility, and provide new interdisciplinary, experiential training space for technicians and engineering professionals in a range of certificate, associates’ degree and four-year transfer programs in 22,250 gross square feet (GSF), 17,800 assignable square feet (ASF), at a project cost of $8,411,262. Since the initial project request was submitted in July 2018, CCA has continued to engage with diesel, engineering and other industry partners in related technical fields to gather input on the capital construction plan and the potential for expanding the college’s certificate and degree program offerings. These conversations surfaced the regional need for education and training programs related to electric vehicles, compressed natural gas technology, autonomous vehicles and similar engineering applications that would leverage CCA’s existing and planned diesel technician programming. As a result, the vision for the new building has been expanded and will include additional technical certificate and degree programs as well as interdisciplinary, experiential workshop space for engineering and other STEM students.

D. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SCOPE OF WORK/JUSTIFICATION: Existing Conditions

Diesel Power Mechanics The Diesel Power Mechanics program is currently located in Building 840 on the CCA Lowry Campus, constructed in the 1940’s for Lowry Air Force Base, with a Facilities Condition Index of 44%. Two cohorts of students, with an average of 15 students in each, occupy the building during the same time period. Current program enrollment is 27, with one cohort of 10 and the other 17. The current building is a wood frame structure that does not function well in support of the Diesel program. The space is not efficiently organized, with a central lab area that is too small and adjacent spaces that do not meet program functional needs. Access to the building for large equipment is very limited, making it necessary to store equipment critical to the program outdoors. Space utilization of classrooms and teaching laboratories for a program like Diesel Power Mechanics is different from typical higher education space expectations. There are several labs and classrooms that are designed and equipped specifically to accommodate the program. These spaces have limited use for other programs or courses. It is also important that the spaces be available simultaneously on an as-needed basis for easy flow from one space to another in support of the curriculum. Building 840 has been outfitted with required life safety devices. However, the age and condition of the building does not warrant additional investment.

Campus Facilities

Campus Facilities is located in the Administration Building on the CentreTech Campus, on the first floor directly below the college President’s office. There are a total of 16 employees, 6 of which are custodians. The space is undersized, with a total of 2,336 ASF. The Master Plan identified a need for a total of 6,054 ASF for facilities on the campus. The location is not ideal, due to access restrictions with campus growth and the environmental hazards associated with the storage and maintenance of gas powered equipment in an office building.

Page 3

Information Technology The current Information Technology Department space on the second floor of the CentreTech Campus’ Administration Building is a retrofitted office that does not provide the proper cooling, electrical, or space needs of a proper datacenter. In addition, the existing space is inadequate to accommodate a team of work study or intern students to help them gain real world experience in their field.

Changes and Projections This proposed facility supports goal 1 of the Higher Education Master Plan – Increase the Attainment of High Quality Post-Secondary Education Credentials. New space for the Diesel Power Mechanics program will provide more efficient space and additional space for program growth. Based on projected industry growth of 21% in Colorado between 2014 and 2024, diesel program enrollment is expected to grow from the current level of 27 to 80 annually, as follows:

Track 1: Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks. Current program. Track 2: Mobile Heavy Equipment. Future program. Track 3: Diesel Power Generation. Future program. Track 4: Light Truck. Future program.

Eighty (80) students total are expected to enroll in cohorts of 20 each across the four program tracks at full program build-out. Two key strategies support the increase in enrollment from 27 to 80 students. The first strategy is related to expanding the number of industry partners participating in the apprentice program. Currently, the Diesel Power Mechanics program has 9 partners. New partners are continuously cultivated including: Kiewit Infrastructure Co., Transwest, and Alpine Waste, among others. The goal is to reach 15-20 active industry partners. The second strategy is leveraging outreach and recruitment efforts in the region. The current cohort is recruited through word of mouth and partner outreach versus a strategic program recruitment plan that compliments the College’s overall strategy regarding enrollment management. The increase in enrollment is a phased approach to program growth over a 3 to 5 year period by first increasing the fill rate in the current cohort to 100%. In addition to expansion of the diesel program, CCA is planning to add new certificate and degree programs in electric engines for light rail and vehicles, autonomous vehicles, compressed natural gas technology, robotics and/or related industrial and engineering technologies. The design, structure and equipment for these new programs will be based on industry input through the outreach and engagement process currently underway. An additional 100 students are expected to be enrolled in these new program options. Lastly, CCA will use the new facility and equipment as a cross-disciplinary, hands-on learning lab for students enrolled in STEM and other disciplines in order to enhance their learning experience. Students will participate in applied workshops on topics such as the fundamentals of electricity, robotics, and computerized controls; design and test their own experimental projects; and otherwise take advantage of the Center for Engineering and Industrial Technology’s high-tech equipment and collaborative learning spaces. CCA enrolls nearly 500 students in STEM programs each semester, at least 25% of whom or 125 annually are expected to take advantage of new hands-on learning available in the new facility. This usage of the facility is expected to leverage the space, equipment and expertise established for diesel and other new industrial technology certificate and degree programs and will not require additional, supplemental space or resources. The number of staff in Campus Facilities and Information Technology is expected to remain at current levels.

Total Space Requirements The total space needed for the three College units to be located in the Diesel and Support Services Building’s Center for Engineering & Industrial Technology is 22,250 Gross Square Feet (GSF). The total assignable square feet (ASF) is 17,800 ASF, with Diesel Power Mechanics and other engineering and industrial technology programming at 9,700 ASF, Campus Facilities at 6,180 ASF, and Information Technology at 1,920 ASF. The space required for the Diesel Power Mechanics program was determined by reviewing the Colorado Community College System Career and Technical Education Quality Indicator – Program Facilities guidelines, work sessions with program leaders and instructors, and benchmarking other similar programs. Campus Facilities and Information Technology space needs were determined in departmental work sessions and verified with criteria established in the master plan.

Goals This project has been identified in the Community College of Aurora’s five year capital construction plan as the top priority and has been identified as the top priority project in the College’s Institutional Facilities Master Plan from 2017. This building is a middle point of a series of internal projects planned in the College’s Institutional Strategic Plan, a series of internally funded office changes and upgrade already in construction at CCA.

The Colorado Department of Higher Education’s Master Plan outlines four goals. This project appeals to goal #1, Increase Credential Completion. As Colorado high school graduations increase, Colorado needs to increase the capacity to graduate more individuals with certifications and degrees. The Diesel and Support Services Building meets this goal by allowing the current program to continue and to allow for more students into the program through the expanded cohort system.

E. PROGRAM INFORMATION: The new facility will support the following academic programs: Diesel Power Mechanics, new industrial technology certificate or degree programs, and supplemental learning labs/workshops for STEM programs. The building will also accommodate two support functions: Campus Facilities and Information Technology. At this time, this project has not been designed; therefore, no conceptual architect drawings, diagrams, or photographs have been produced. Please see attached program plan for further information and associated images of proposed location (Appendix A - Program Plan, page 17) and current facility conditions (Appendix A - Program Plan, pages 5-8). The Diesel Power Mechanics program is designed to prepare students for the many employment opportunities in the diesel industry. CCA’s unique program allows students to earn an Associate Degree (60 credit hours) in Diesel Power Mechanics in 11 months. Diesel Power Mechanics students receive extensive training and practical experience in servicing all types of engines, drive trains, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems found on diesel equipment. Students enrolled in Diesel Power Mechanics learn the theory of equipment operation along with the latest repair and diagnostic procedures available in the industry. Students graduating from the Diesel Power Mechanics program are employable upon completion of the program. They gain real world experience through paid apprenticeship during work rotation with members of the Colorado Equipment Dealer’s Association- CEDA. After completion of the program, the sponsoring dealers’ intent is to offer full-time employment, tuition reimbursement, and the use of a professional set of tools. Industry partners include Wagner Equipment Co, Faris Machinery, Bobcat of the Rockies, Honnen Equipment, Four Rivers, Power Equipment Company, Titan Machinery, Power Motive, and Transdev. Cohorts begin annually in July and August. The Diesel Power Mechanics program will be moving from the Lowry Campus to the CentreTech Campus to facilitate program growth. As noted previously, outreach to CCA industry partners over the past year has surfaced significant interest in and demand for certificate and/or degree graduates with expertise in vehicle and light rail electrification, compressed natural gas, autonomous vehicle and related technological expertise. CCA will continue to engage industry partners to vet and design new certificate and degree programs that leverage the space and equipment opportunities with the new building and address projected future workforce demand. STEM students enrolling directly into four-year universities gain access to an array of hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that enhance their understanding of and engagement in technology-related fields of study. CCA will leverage the new facility and equipment to provide similar enhanced learning opportunities for STEM students which are expected to impact enrollment, retention and transfer readiness of STEM students.

Campus Facilities

Campus Facilities provides maintenance, custodial, receiving, grounds, and mail services campus-wide from locations at the CentreTech and Lowry campuses. The Program Plan proposes centralizing maintenance functions on the CentreTech Campus. This will allow for the distribution of work by trade as opposed to by campus, eliminating the need to duplicate trade employees at each campus. For example, CCA would need only one electrician and one plumber, with the remaining staff structural trades or general laborers.

Information Technology

The Information Technology Department at the Community College of Aurora believes that technology plays a vital role in the success of the students they serve. They strive to make available the best possible technology tools to ensure that faculty, staff, and students are able to succeed in a complex digital world. This team also works to ensure that these tools are readily available to campus stakeholders and that they are trained in the proper application in achieving their goals. The CentreTech Campus IT team supports 60% of the total College computer and user base, receiving shipments, and coordinating the functionality of all of the server and network infrastructure resources. As a teaching institution, it is vital that the IT Department serve as a place where students currently studying an information technology field can experience how a real-world information technology team functions. This means a properly designed and constructed datacenter, an appropriate office environment, and room to conduct tours and real-world lessons when applicable. It also presents an opportunity to engage work-study students, interns and instructional teams to utilize the department as a training facility for students to gain practical experience in the information technology field.

Relationship to the Facilities Master Plan The Community College of Aurora Master Plan, completed and approved in fall 2017, included as its first priority a New Vocational Building (renamed Diesel and Support Services Building) on the CentreTech Campus.

F. CONSEQUENCES IF NOT FUNDED:

If not funded, the ultimate outcome will be the Diesel Power Mechanics program will end as the Diesel Program’s facilities can be almost considered obsolete based on the building’s poor rating Facility Condition Index (FCI) number of 44%. Please see Appendix A - Program Plan, pages 27 to 31 for a selection of pages from the CCA Master Plan that describe the FCI of Building 840, Diesel. In addition, if not funded, CCA will be unable to expand programming in other engineering and industrial technology areas, effectively causing CCA to fail to compete effectively with other postsecondary education providers and to be unable to meet projected future workforce needs in the targeted areas. Lastly, without the new building, CCA will not have the space to create a hub for student supports, services planned for space currently occupied by the Facilities and IT departments.

G. LIFE CYCLE COST (LCC)/COST-BENEFIT COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS: Four alternatives to the new building proposed in this program plan have been considered:

1. Do nothing. One alternative to most problems is to do nothing. In this instance, the outcome will be that (1) the Diesel Power Mechanics program will most likely need to be discontinued as facilities become obsolete, (2) new industrial technology and enhance STEM learning programs will not be added, and (3) space needs on the CentreTech Campus will not be addressed.

2. Build a new diesel facility on the Lowry Campus. The Lowry Campus is leased by CCA from CCCS. Investing College capital construction funds at a leased facility is not financially prudent. Also, space needs on the CentreTech Campus would not be addressed.

3. Lease space off-campus for the Diesel program. Leased industrial space could be modified to accommodate the classroom and teaching laboratory needs of the Diesel program. However, Diesel Power Mechanics students take 25% of their coursework through other departments on the CCA campus. This alternative would require scheduling to accommodate commuting to and from campus. Also, industrial space in Aurora is expensive and space needs on the CentreTech Campus would not be addressed.

4. To address the space deficit on the CentreTech Campus, relocate Campus Facilities and Information Technology to the current Fine Arts Building and construct new theater, shop, and office space for the displaced units. The existing building has the space types needed by IT and Facilities: offices, high-bay shops, and storage. However, Fine Arts space is expensive space to replicate in a new facility, access to the building is not ideal for deliveries, and additional space would be required to accommodate all of Campus Facilities’ needs. A new Diesel building would still be required to accommodate the needs of the Diesel Power Mechanics program.

H. ASSUMPTIONS FOR CALCULATIONS: The project budget for the single-phase construction of the new Diesel and Support Services Building is $9,236,927. This project is entirely for new construction. This cost includes an inflation increase over the amount proposed in the original 2018 proposal. In addition, as detailed below, the revised amount includes an additional $875,145 in diesel power mechanics, engineering technologies, facilities, and IT equipment. Through its capital campaign feasibility study, the CCA Foundation has determined it will contribute a total of at least $2 million in cash or donated equipment, $875,145 over its $1,250,000 private fundraising contribution originally proposed in the 2018 request. Costs are based on similar facilities to the Community College of Aurora with an expected $265 per Gross Square Foot for this type of new building and architectural style. Project Cost Estimate:

I. SUSTAINABILITY: The college will engage Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited professionals for both design and construction. The LEED team hired will incorporate design elements that will complement the State’s focus on high performance facilities in order to achieve an acceptable LEED certification rating to achieve the State’s High-Performance Certification Program. J. OPERATING BUDGET IMPACT: With this new building, the CentreTech campus of the Community College of Aurora enrollments will increase and operating budgets have to adjust to meet the higher utilization and consumption rates of supplies such as custodial paper and chemical products. The addition of this 22,250 GSF building will require maintenance, custodial, grounds, and utility expenses plus one full time custodial employee. By following LEED, on this project, the college expects the annual operating expenses to be approximately $178,202 offset by $46,657 in annual savings by vacating Building 840 Diesel on the CCCS Lowry Campus.

OVERVIEW

exeCutive summAry

The Community College of Aurora (CCA) is an open access public two-year community college that serves more than 10,000 students annually� Students attending CCA are preparing for entry into numerous career fields or seeking transfer to a baccalaureate institution for further study� CCA has two campus locations: The CentreTech Campus, located at 16000 East CentreTech Parkway in Aurora, and the Lowry Campus, located at the former Lowry Air Force Base at 710 Alton Way in Denver�

A Master Plan for the two campuses was completed in Fall 2017� Conclusions of the Plan included:

▪ There is currently a deficit of space on the CentreTech Campus, primarily in student space, both academic support/collaborative learning space and student center space�

▪ The space deficit on the CentreTech Campus will increase to almost 45,000 assignable square feet (ASF) with projected enrollment increases on the campus�

▪ The Campus Facilities department is centrally located on the CentreTech Campus in space that can be better utilized for student support and administrative functions�

▪ Building 840 on the Lowry Campus, home of the Diesel Power Mechanics program, is unsuitable for continued academic use�

This Program Plan proposes a new Diesel and Support Services Building on the Community College of Aurora CentreTech Campus to address these space problems� The building will collocate Diesel Power Mechanics, Campus Facilities, and Information Technology in 22,250 gross square feet (GSF), 17,800 assignable square feet (ASF), at a project cost of $8,411,262�

DesCription of the ACADemiC progrAms Being AffeCteD

There is one academic program, Diesel Power Mechanics, and two support functions, Campus Facilities and Information Technology accommodated in the proposed building�

Diesel Power MechanicsThe Diesel Power Mechanics program is designed to prepare students for the many employment opportunities in the diesel industry� CCA’s unique program allows students to earn an Associate Degree (60 credit hours) in Diesel Power Mechanics in 11 months�

Diesel Power Mechanics students receive extensive training and practical experience in servicing all types of engines, drive trains, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems found on diesel equipment� Students enrolled in Diesel Power Mechanics learn the theory of equipment operation along with the latest repair and diagnostic procedures available in the industry� Students graduating from the Diesel Power Mechanics program are employable upon completion of the program� They gain real world experience through paid apprenticeship during work rotation with members of the Colorado Equipment Dealer’s Association-CEDA�

After completion of the program, the sponsoring dealers’ intent is to offer full-time employment, tuition reimbursement, and the use of a professional set of tools� Industry partners include Wagner Equipment Co, Faris Machinery, Bobcat of the Rockies, Honnen Equipment, Four Rivers, Power Equipment Company, Titan Machinery, Power Motive, and Transdev� Cohorts begin in January and July of each year�

The Diesel Power Mechanics program will be moving from the Lowry Campus to the CentreTech Campus to facilitate program growth�

Campus FacilitiesCampus Facilities provides maintenance, custodial, receiving, grounds, and mail services campus-wide from locations at the CentreTech and Lowry campuses� The Program Plan proposes centralizing maintenance functions on the CentreTech Campus� This will allow for the distribution of work by trade as opposed to by campus, eliminating the need to duplicate trade employees at each campus� For example, CCA would need only one electrician and one plumber, with the remaining staff structural trades or general laborers�

Information TechnologyThe Information Technology Department at the Community College of Aurora believes that technology plays a vital role in the success of the students they serve� They strive to make available the best possible technology tools to ensure that faculty, staff, and students are able to succeed in a complex digital world� They also work to ensure that these tools are readily available to campus stakeholders and that they are trained in the proper application in achieving their goals� Out of the IT CentreTech Campus offices, 60% of the total College computer and user base is supported, shipments are received, and the functionality of all of the server and network infrastructure resources is coordinated�

As a teaching institution, it is vital that the IT Department serve as a place where students currently studying an information technology field can experience how a real-world information technology team functions� This means a properly designed and constructed datacenter, an appropriate office environment, and room to conduct tours and real-world lessons when applicable� It is also important to take advantage of opportunities to engage with work study students, interns and instructional teams to utilize the Department as a training facility for students to gain practical experience in the information technology field�

relAtionship to the fACilities mAster plAn

The Community College of Aurora Master Plan, completed and approved in Fall 2017, included as its first priority a New Vocational Building (renamed Diesel and Support Services Building) on the CentreTech Campus� This Program Plan meets the criteria established in the Master Plan for the building, including the campus units included, site location and project budget

JUSTIFICATION

existing ConDitions

Diesel Power MechanicsThe Diesel Power Mechanics program is currently located in Building 840 on the CCA Lowry Campus, constructed in the 1940’s for Lowry Air Force Base, with a Facilities Condition Index of 44%�

Two cohorts of students, with an average of 15 students in each, occupy the building during the same time period� Current program enrollment is 27, with one cohort of 10 and the other 17�

The current building is an 8,126 ASF structure that does not function well in support of the Diesel program� The space is not efficiently organized, with a central lab area that is too small and adjacent spaces that do not meet program functional needs� Access to the building for large equipment is very limited, making it necessary to store equipment critical to the program outdoors�

Space utilization of classrooms and teaching laboratories for a program like Diesel Power Mechanics is different from typical higher education space expectations� There are several labs and classrooms that are designed and equipped specifically to accommodate the program� These spaces have limited use for other programs or courses� It is also important that the spaces be available simultaneously on an as-needed basis for easy flow from one space to another in support of the curriculum�

Building 840 has been outfitted with required life safety devices� However, the age and condition of the building does not warrant additional investment�

ChAnges AnD projeCtions

New space for the Diesel Power Mechanics program will provide more efficient space and additional space for program growth� While cohort size is projected to remain similar to the current enrollment, at 20 students, additional diesel programs will be able to be accommodated with new, more flexible academic space� The increase in enrollment is based on projected industry growth of 21% in Colorado between 2014 and 2024� The current enrollment of 27 is projected to reach 80, as follows:

Track 1: Medium/Heavy Duty Trucks. This is the current program�

Cohort Size: 40 students� There are projected to be 2 cohorts of 20 students each, January and July of each year�

Track 2: Mobile Heavy Equipment. Future program�Track 3: Light Truck. Future program�Track 4: Diesel Power Generation. Future program�

Cohort size: 40 students� There are projected to be 2 cohorts of 20 students total across tracks 2, 3, and 4 that compliment track 1 enrollment and schedule timeline�

Two key strategies support the increase in enrollment from 27 to 80 students� The first strategy is related to expanding the number of industry partners participating in the apprentice program� Currently, the Diesel Power Mechanics program has 9 partners� The goal is to reach 15-20 active industry partners� The second strategy is leveraging outreach and recruitment efforts in the region� The current cohort is recruited through word of mouth versus a strategic program recruitment plan that compliments the College’s overall strategy regarding enrollment management� The increase in enrollment is a phased approach to program growth over a 3 to 5 year period by first increasing the fill rate in the current cohort to 100%�

The number of staff in Campus Facilities and Information Technology is expected to remain at current levels�

totAl spACe requirements

The total space needed for the three College units to be located in the Diesel and Support Services Building is 22,250 Gross Square Feet (GSF)�

The total assignable square feet (ASF) is 17,800 ASF, with Diesel Power Mechanics at 9,700 ASF, Campus Facilities at 6,180 ASF, and Information Technology at 1,920 ASF�

The space required for the Diesel Power Mechanics program was determined by reviewing the Colorado Community College System Career and Technical Education Quality Indicator – Program Facilities guidelines, work sessions with program leaders and instructors, and benchmarking other similar programs�

Campus Facilities and Information Technology space needs were determined in departmental work sessions and verified with criteria established in the master plan�

The Space Needs table outlines the individual spaces programmed for the building�

AlternAtives AnAlysis

Four alternatives to the new building proposed in this program plan have been considered, as described below: None adequately address the current academic and administrative space needs of the Community College of Aurora�

1� Do nothing� One alternative to most problems is to do nothing� In this instance, the outcome will be that (1) the Diesel Power Mechanics program will most likely need to be discontinued as facilities become obsolete programmatically, and (2) space needs on the CentreTech Campus will not be addressed�

2� Build a new diesel facility on the Lowry Campus� The Lowry Campus is leased by CCA� Investing College capital construction funds at a leased facility is not financially prudent� Also, space needs on the CentreTech Campus would not be addressed�

3� Lease space off campus for the Diesel program� Leased industrial space could be modified to accommodate the classroom and teaching laboratory needs of the Diesel program� However, Diesel Power Mechanics students take 25% of their coursework through other departments on the CCA campus� This alternative would require scheduling to accommodate commuting to and from campus� Also, industrial space in Aurora is expensive and space needs on the CentreTech Campus would not be addressed�

4� To address the space deficit on the CentreTech Campus, relocate Campus Facilities and Information Technology to the current Fine Arts Building and construct new theater, shop, and office space for the displaced units� The existing building has the space types needed by IT and Facilities: offices, high-bay shops, and storage� However, Fine Arts space is expensive space to replicate in a new facility, access to the building is not ideal for deliveries, and additional space would be required to accommodate all of Campus Facilities needs� A new Diesel building would still be required to accommodate the needs of the Diesel Power Mechanics program�

IMPLEMENTATION AND DESIGN CRITERIA

spAtiAl relAtionships AnD room speCifiCAtions

The three campus units to be located in the Diesel and Support Services Building will take advantage of their co-location through shared facilities that will eliminate the need for duplication� For example:

▪ A single reception area can accommodate visitors to both Campus Facilities and Information Technology�

▪ All three units will share a conference room and break room�

▪ Facilities and Diesel Power Mechanics will share shower/locker room facilities�

▪ The loading dock will be convenient for both general campus deliveries to Receiving and bulk computers for IT�

▪ The service yard can be shared by Facilities and Diesel Mechanics�

The following diagrams illustrate the space relationships within the three campus units:

site requirements

The proposed location for the Diesel and Support Services Building was identified in the Fall 2017 Master Plan� The site has adequate utilities for development of the building� The building will need to be carefully sited to avoid the expense of relocating existing utility lines� The Community College of Aurora CentreTech Campus has public access only from the North� By locating the building at the west end of the campus academic spine, it is possible to conceal the vehicle yard and loading dock from the campus entrance and core academic area�

| EXISTING CONDITIONS ASSESSMENT | CONCLUSIONS | 3 |

| 2017 Facilities Master Plan | 117 |

Building 840: Diesel Building FCI 44%

The building was built in the early to mid-20th century as part of the Lowry Air Force Base� Any remodel work that may have happened outside the open bay space appears to be quite old� And any work that appears more recent is paint and floor coating�

Exterior• Exterior veneer – primarily large shingle tiles

▪ Many tiles around the building are cracked, broke, missing� Needs repainted

▪ Wood trim in rough shape, areas of damage or missing� Needs repainted

• Doors and windows – original wood divided light double hung windows ▪ Windows need replaced� Falling apart in many locations� Some

locations missing and sealed up with plexiglass panels• Roof – asphalt shingles appear to be in decent shape• Surrounding Site

▪ Exterior stair railings are not up to current code� ▪ Blacktop paving is quite old with many patches over the years

Interior• Floors – mostly concrete with VCT in some side rooms

▪ Concrete floor coating showing signs of wear ▪ Some areas of VCT showing wear

• Walls – fiber board, gyp board and plaster� Finishes throughout are in rough shape due to building program ▪ Water intrusion at north hallway

• Ceilings – painted structure in most areas with some ACT• Doors – wood veneer

▪ Not all hardware meets current code• Code/life safety

▪ The restrooms do not meet current code/ANSI requirements in many aspects� Only one restroom for whole building�

▪ Stair railings are not up to current code� ▪ Side rooms are not accessible

MEP Assessment

General Information

Code Compliance No specific code compliance review was done with respect to this assessment� However, a general review of building MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) Systems were completed as part a general facility assessment�

Facility DescriptionLowry Building 840, also known as the Diesel Building is a 9,800 sq ft facility that was constructed in the 1940’s with modifications done over the years� This is a one level building used for diesel mechanic courses with mechanics shops and classrooms� The building has year round occupancy and is available when diesel mechanic courses are scheduled�

Life Safety System This building is a detected building with no sprinklers� Division 22 - Plumbing Systems

Water ServicesDomestic water is through a 1” connection which is located in the boiler room which is on the east side of the building� The back flow preventer at this location appeared to be in good working order and had a recent certification�

Plumbing FixturesPlumbing fixtures appeared to be functional but antiquated� There was no provisions for ADA fixtures within the building�

Domestic Water HeatingDomestic water heating is provided by a Bradford White water heater� This has a 40,000 BTU/hr input rating and 40 gal� tank� This water heater appears to be about 4 years old and functionality properly�

Sanitary SewerSanitary sewer service was not reviewed at the time of this visit� However, no issues were reported�

Natural Gas ServiceNatural gas is delivered by a 2” line to an American Meter AL-1000� This meter appeared to be functioning correctly�

output rating of 720,000 BTU/hr� No date of manufacturer was available on the nameplate information� Although the boiler appears to be functioning correctly the boiler and associated controls appear fairly antiquated and may have reached the end of it’s useful service� With regard to the classroom cabinet heaters no verification could be made with regard to the functionality of the controls for these units� Heating hot water distribution is handled by what appears to be a recently added Wilco circulation pump�

Cooling SystemThere does not appear to be any permanently installed cooling system in this building� Classroom cooling appears to be handled by temporary window AC units�

Distributed HVAC SystemsThere appears to be no distributed air for this building� Restroom ventilation appears to be accomplished through through-wall ventilation fans� Consideration should be given if any air conditioning is added to this building in the future� Current codes would require a minimum ventilation rate which would require installing an air distribution system� In addition to the ventilation criteria, adding air conditioning would require bringing the building envelop up to current code�

Division 26 - Electrical Systems

Project DescriptionThe electrical systems for this building appear to be from the original construction with modifications over the years�

Electrical SystemsBuilding 840 has Electrical Systems that consist of electrical distribution for lighting, power, HVAC, and Fire Alarm

Electrical Service and Panels• The electrical service is provided from an Xcel Energy (3)75kVA,

120/208V-3Ph-4W pole mounted utility transformers with underground secondary service feeders from a pole to as 800A C�T� Cabinet in to a 600A, 120/208V-3Ph-4W Main Disconnect Switch manufactured by Cutler-Hammer� The Main Disconnect Switch feeds a fuse type distribution panel manufactured by Bull Dog� This panelboard distributes power to a number of fuse-type and circuit breaker type branch circuit panels throughout the building� The branch circuit panels provide normal power distribution to the lighting, power receptacles, HVAC equipment, boiler, Fire Alarm Panel, and miscellaneous other power loads throughout the building� The older fuse type panels are manufactured by Bull Dog and the newer circuit breaker type panels are made by Cutler-Hammer/Westinghouse�

• A number of fuse type panels and disconnect switches appear to be inactive and are labeled “Dead” or “Not in Service”� Note that the older fuse-type panels are manufactured by Bull Dog that is a manufacturer that has not been in business since the 1960’s� Therefore, any

 C. PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SCOPE OF WORK/JUSTIFICATION: This project will provide the ability for the CCA IT department to provide better access to the software and internet students need to perform classwork.  There are two parts to this project.  CCA has made a switch to thin clients to provide desktops to our students in most of our computer labs on campus.  The hardware that this environment runs on is starting to age and can no longer be upgraded to the latest versions of software.  The first step of this project will be to upgrade the hardware these servers run on to a more recent system.  This will not only keep our classroom labs running quickly and efficiently, but also allow students in online or hybrid classes access to the software they need for class while they are off campus.  We will also expand our ability to provide graphics intense applications with this upgrade, which will improve our ability to deliver software upgrades in the future and open new avenues for our ability to further increase our thin client environment. Included in this project is adding to and upgrading our wireless infrastructure to support the latest in wireless protocols.  We intend also as part of this project to implement more robust traffic shaping to our student wireless bandwidth to improve availability and overall satisfaction with our student wireless network. This project is designed to help CCA be innovative in the way it delivers needed instructional materials to our students and also helps make that technology more accessible and available, both on and off campus.  This aligns with strategic goal #4 of the CDHE which articulates an investment in affordability and innovation. In addition, the CCA college strategic plan as well as the CCA IT strategic plan both outline the importance of making the technology required by students to succeed accessible and so we are addressing these goals as a part of this project as well. 

 D. PROGRAM INFORMATION: 

All Student Programs  

E. CONSEQUENCES IF NOT FUNDED: CCA will have to divert our student technology fee money of $200,000 – $250,000 per year for several years.  These  funds  are  currently  earmarked  for  much  needed  classroom  technology  upgrades  and improvements.  Since the vast majority of our instructors on campus are part time instructors who rely on our ability to provide them the technology they need to teach  in the classroom, redirecting these funds will  seriously  impede  our  ability  to  provide  that  technology  to  our  classrooms  for  day  to  day instruction to operate in an efficient manner.    

 F. ASSUMPTIONS FOR CALCULATIONS: 

We consulted with our vendors to properly size the requested hardware to allow for future growth and expansion in our environment.  Once we completed the pre‐design, we requested competitive quotes for all of  the hardware we have specified  for  the environment, which all  fell under  the current HP state pricing agreement.   

 G. OPERATING BUDGET IMPACT: 

This project will not have a significant impact to our operating budget.  Historically as an institution CCA has not asked for funding from the state for our information technology projects so we are and have been including information technology in our budgeting process since our inception. This has caused CCA to fall behind our peers as funding has fluctuated over the years. This project upgrades equipment CCA already maintains support/maintenance agreements on which will be replaced with this new equipment.  The opportunity to secure state funding for this project will allow CCA to catch up to our peers from an 

Page 44: FY 2020-21 HIGHER EDUCATION CAPITAL … · Renovation of Fine Arts Building - 1 Phase Renovations to the existing Forum/Fine Arts Building to refresh and reinvigorate the existing

information  technology  perspective  much  faster  and  help  us  continue  to  provide  outstanding information technology experiences for all of our constituents.
