Maintenance/Grounds Compound

The purpose of this project is to create a compound that houses maintenance shops, grounds shop, facilities storage, and storage space for Engineering & Industrial Technology Division. The current maintenance shop (in the Service Center building) has several different tasks occurring at the same time in a crowded space. The current maintenance shop opens onto a pedestrian walkway creating a hazard (when coming or going) if not cautious. 

The new building would be located near the existing grounds shop (barn) and enclosed by a cyclone fence. The compound would have a large trash receptacle eliminating the need for frequent pick-ups of the smaller dumpsters around campus, as well as, have a location to hold grounds materials such as bark dust, sand, etc. 

The relocation would provide additional space in the Service Center building for other services. The maintenance and grounds shops and their activities would be in one location away from the central campus. The construction of new shops will allow for more room to perform tasks, store materials, and a shop environment away from pedestrian walkways. 

The proposed location will be at the existing grounds shop NW corner of the campus. The building construction will be metal on concrete slab to match the existing equipment storage building. Engineering is needed related to the sewer, storm, and water for the facilities compound. A survey crew is needed to tie manhole elevations and some topographical shots to make sure the storm manholes will work. Rough estimate: $180,000 for the building. Site improvements and utility cost yet to be determined.  

Survey and engineering data will need to be gathered for feasibility of extending services. Once this question is answered, the building can be designed, plans and specifications drafted, with shops and storage spaces configured. 
 
 

PROJECT: Maintenance/Grounds Compound

Reviewed/Approved: On hold, awaiting feasibility study 

PROJECT PARAMETERS (Completed by Capital Planning Task Force) 

PROJECT NARRATIVE: A general description of the project; to include a narrative summary of the overall purpose of the project and why it is beneficial to LBCC.

The purpose of the project is to create a compound that houses maintenance shops, grounds shop, Facilities storage, and storage space for Engineering & Industrial Technology Division.

The construction of new shops will allow for more room to perform tasks, store materials, and a shop environment away from pedestrian walkways.

STAFFING PARAMETERS: Will additional staff be required when the project is completed (do not include custodial or maintenance personnel as a consideration)?

None

DESIGN PARAMETERS: Location, budget allocation, Principles of Universal Design, proximity considerations, art considerations, access considerations, appearance and scale considerations.

The proposed location will be at the existing grounds shop NW corner of the campus. The building construction is metal on concrete slab to match the existing equipment storage building. Engineering is needed related to the sewer, storm, and water for the facilities compound. Is it feasible to extend these services, and if so, what is the best way to serve the building? A survey crew is needed to tie manhole elevations and some topographical shots to make sure the storm manholes will work. Extending the services is doable, but is it economical to extend them? Rough costs ... $180,000 for the building, site improvements, utility cost yet to be determined. 

PROCESS PARAMETERS: Processes that must be observed by Project Team as it prepares Program Specifications.

Survey and engineering data will need to be gathered for feasibility of extending services. Once this question is answered, the building can be designed, plans and specifications drafted, with shops and storage spaces configured.

OTHER PARAMETERS: Miscellaneous institutional concerns that must guide the project (e.g., Food Service outlets will not be a part of this facility).

None
