$30,000 total for study lounge project, all from UFFAB funds


Description

This project upgraded lighting, seating, finishes, acoustics, and audiovisual equipment in all eleven A-wing auditoriums and all C-wing general education classrooms. Problems with occupant comfort were addressed in several ways:

  • In some instances, lighting levels have increased 200% over original values.
  • Digital controls have replaced obsolete pneumatic controls on the mechanical system and temperature sensors were relocated from auditorium walls to the return air ducts.
  • The fire alarm system in A and B wings was updated, as well as all three elevators in the building. B wing received new ceiling tiles, flooring, and paint. 
  • The Clark Study Lounge project provides a dedicated area in the Clark building with high-quality equipment and design, to allow for a study environment that is both productive and comfortable for students.
