Literature
Science and the Arts Building Renovation
Overview
This project has been funded by the State of Michigan. The Office of
Design and Construction, of the State's Department of Management and Budget
is responsible for administering the state capital outlay program and
in conjunction with the U of M Architecture, Engineering and Construction is managing the design
and construction for this project.
The LS&A Building was constructed in 1948 and is in need of significant
work to address the infrastructure of the building. This project will
involve the total renovation of the
building (126,000 gross square feet).
Mechanical and electrical systems will be updated, including heating
and ventilation. Air-conditioning will be added to the building and accessibility
throughout the building will be improved to meet current codes. Fire detection
and fire suppression systems will also be installed to meet current codes.
In order to upgrade the building’s mechanical systems and provide
air-conditioning, the project will require the installation of large fan
units, ductwork, and other significant mechanical devices.
Upon completion of the renovation
work, the building will generally function as it has in the past, housing
core functions of the of the College of LS&A administration
and some of the College’s
academic and support functions. Selected
general University functions, such as the University Registrar's Office,
will continue to provide service from the LS&A Building.
