The renovation of the auditorium in Meece Hall consists of interior partition and ceiling demolition. The existing floor needs patching in a couple of areas after the partitions are removed. The walls are to receive light gauge furring and insulation and gypsum board. The ceiling is being replaced with new acoustic ceiling tile (ACT) and gypsum board soffits. The adjacent mail room is being moved by the owner and will become an Audio/Visual closet and storage for the auditorium. In the auditorium the aluminum windows will be replaced with new fixed storefront with insulated glazing.The existing HVAC system consists of floor mounted unit ventilators that are served by the existing 2 pipe hydronic system. The outside air ventilation is currently provided through the wall louvers in the unit ventilators. The auditorium space will be renovated into a diversified space with a different type of occupied schedule than the rest of the building. The space will benefit from having a dedicated HVAC system that can work independently than the rest of the building. It is proposed to provide a VAV packaged rooftop unit (Gas/Dx) with CO2 control for ventilation. The unit will be designed for low sound applications. Unit will be able to provide heating and cooling on a separate schedule than any other space. The HVAC controls will be Bacnet based protocol utilizing the latest KCTCS requirements in their standard specifications. A new JACE panel shall be provided to initiate the new controls for the HVAC renovation project.The existing electrical service will be modified by removing four fused circuit breakers and replacing them with a new distribution panel with a main breaker. A new circuit breaker will re-feed the existing wireway serving the majority of building panelboards. This new panel will have provisions for providing feeders to new panels and large HVAC equipment in current and future phases of building renovations.
