Greater Wyoming Big Brothers/Big Sisters Community Mentoring Center

Executive Summary

The following is an executive summary prepared by Malone Belton Abel, PC for Greater Wyoming Big Brothers/Big Sisters in Laramie, Wyoming. The project consists of the rehabilitation of the existing Nellie Iles School building located at 518 East Ord Street in Laramie, WY. The Nellie Iles School Building was built in 1920 and underwent major modifications and additions in 1938, 1961, and 1986. It currently contains 11,780 SF of floor area on a walk-up Main Floor and 4,630 SF in the Basement. The building is in good condition structurally and architecturally, as it was built well to start with and has been consistently occupied and well maintained to this day. The building is historically significant, and all modifications will be done in accordance with proper historic renovation guidelines and the concurrence of the Wyoming State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO). The mechanical and electrical systems were robust and well designed in their day, but now require replacement because they are antiquated and not up to current codes. Although this study did not include a full asbestos survey, it is believed that asbestos in the building is relatively limited, and funds have been included in the cost estimate for both survey and removal of this material. From an energy standpoint, an entirely new heating system in conjunction with proper insulation in the attic will vastly improve the building’s efficiency and save thousands of dollars per year in utility bills. The proposed rehabilitation will bring the facility into compliance with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards; will improve monitoring of the youth who use the facility; and will bring safety, security, and functionality to appropriate standards that are difficult to achieve in the present building. Improvements to the activity areas such as the gym and the 'Hub' will appeal to the youth using the facility, resulting in increased retention. Healthy meals and snacks can be prepared for the children in the new kitchen. Office renovations will create a more comfortable and quiet working environment for employees. Mechanical upgrades will result in a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Reconfiguration of the current office area in the portion of the building built in 1920 will provide an improved reception/waiting area, a hydraulic wheelchair lift for ADA access, a copy/work room, 11 private offices, an open office area, and a training room. Present-day privacy requirements are difficult to achieve in the existing open-office layout.

Renovation of the current activity areas in the portion of the building built in 1938 will consist of restroom renovations to comply with ADA requirements, demolition of existing platform in the gym resulting in a larger play area with basketball hoops, creation of a new kitchen area with range and serving counter, and the addition of a multi-level play structure in the 'Hub' area. A new central desk associated with the Hub will be positioned so staff will have a dramatically increased ability to monitor all the youth groups using the area. Rehabilitation of the 1920s basement area will provide new ADA complaint restrooms, a conference room with multimedia capability, improved storage area, and mechanical space. Structural cast-in-place concrete walls within the basement in conjunction with low basement ceilings, limit the usefulness of the entire basement; however, these new rooms are planned where they can be incorporated at reasonable expense. Proposed exterior modifications include renovation of the Main Entry area stair and ramp to improve accessibility, repairs to roof tile system that will bring the entire roof into a warrantied condition, repairs to flashing, and improved drainage. Improvements will be performed in phases as funds become available, and the phases will be coordinated to limit disruption of daily operations. For example: roof repair, which is needed to maintain the building’s integrity, will be accomplished first with full building occupancy. Other phases will be accomplished with partial occupancy as efficiency of construction warrants. Costs per phase have been estimated as follows:

• Phase I – Roofing and Down Spouts. Includes: Removal and reinstallation of new tiles as needed. Repairing gutters and down spouts to improve drainage: $213,078

• Phase II – Renovation of 1920 portion (main floor and basement). Includes: Demolition, new walls, stairs, lift, casework and doors: $147,500

• Phase III – Renovation of 1938, 1961, 1986, portion. Includes: Demolition, new walls, stairs, lift, casework, doors, windows, appliances, finishes, exterior improvements, mechanical, and electrical: $1,082,502

• Phase IV – Site work and exterior repair. Includes: Stair and ramp upgrades and brick re- pointing: $47,000

Structural Evaluation Based on a visual inspection, the building is for the most part in good structural condition. There is isolated cracking of the exterior brick and interior wall and ceiling finishes throughout the building. The cracks in the exterior brick and mortar are minor and appear likely due to limited foundation settlement or movement caused by thermal forces or moisture intrusion. The most noticeable area of settlement is at the southwest corner of the original 1920 building. It appears that excessive moisture from a roof downspout and inadequate surface drainage in the area has caused the foundation to settle. There is also evidence that moisture has penetrated the

foundation and damaged interior finishes in this area of the basement. The drainage issues in this area must be corrected to prevent further foundation movement and damage. Cracking of the interior surfaces mostly occurs on or near the exterior walls. The crack widths are small and given the age of the building, the amount of cracking is not unusual. The roof and floor framing appear in generally good condition. The only roof framing exposed to view is in the attic of the original 1920 building and in the gymnasium. The wood framing in both locations appear in good structural condition. There is evidence of various roof leaks; however, the framing appears free of rot or deterioration in these areas. The floor framing has several soft spots, primarily in the 1920 building and at the northeast corner of the gymnasium. These areas will require selective removal and repair to the framing members and flooring.
