FACILITY STATSLocation: 1150 Bellevue St, Green Bay, WI 54302Building Details:

Year Constructed: undetermined (1960’s architectural style)Square Footage: 17,890 sfFloors: One Site: 5 acres (approximately)

BUILDING OVERVIEWThe UWEX Building was originally construct-ed as an elementary school. The building is 18,000 SF and retains the character of the original 1960’s school design. A wide corridor divides the building down the center with former classroom space on each side. The class rooms have been subdivided to create offices. The original gym served as the lunch room and had a stage at one end. The kitchen and serving area are located just off the gym.

The building construction is typical of school construction of the era. The exterior walls are stacked bond CMU masonry with a brick veneer to the window sill in the classroom portion of the building. The stacked bond concrete extends to the roof in the taller gym portion. The building is 220’ long and the width varies from 75’ to 90 ‘.

The total building height also varies from 20 feet at the gym and 11’ at the classrooms. The structural grid for the classroom building divides the width into 3 roughly equal spans for the 16” steel joists that carry the roof. The joists at the gym are 30” deep and spaced 9’ apart. The gym walls do not appear to be load-bearing. Steel columns are visible at the gym side of the corridor and exterior walls. The exterior materials feature brick veneer, wood casement windows, glass block at the gym and a ballasted EPDM roof at the gym and entrance canopy and an adhered EPDM with internal drains over the classrooms.

The main mechanical systems are roof top units and a boiler in the mechanical room. One unit serves the classroom section and a separate unit serves the gym. The mechan-ical systems consist of roof top units and a boiler system. The gym is served by a sepa-rate air conditioning unit.

Plumbing is dated and but adequate for the spaces served. A large 800 amp electrical service provides power.

BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Exterior walls are brick with a CMU back up to the height of the window sill, 2’- 8”. The remainder of the wall is stud construction with either stucco or wood siding. It is not likely that the brick portion of the walls is insulated but the stud wall probably is. The CMU walls in the Gym extend the full height of the wall. The structure consists of is steel columns and steel joists supporting a metal roof deck. The masonry Gym walls may be bearing walls.

OVERALL BUILDING CONDITION

The old school appears to have been well taken care of over the years. The general condition of the building is good. No structural concerns were noted. The mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems are in generally good condition.

SITE OBSERVATIONS

The site is between Bellevue Street and the East River immediately south of East Lawn Park. There is plenty of parking in 3 separate locations. The highly visible drive from Bellevue Street leads to the main door at the entrance canopy. ADA parking spaces adjacent to the building are located here. In addition to the parking stalls at the front of the building additional stalls are located along the south side and behind the building. The site is large and be well maintained. The building is surrounded by lawn with many mature trees. The UWEX has constructed and maintained several garden spaces around the building. The East River Trail runs along the north and west sides of the site. There is a greenhouse and a couple of smaller buildings on the property. These buildings were not inspected. The greenhouse appeared to be in good condition from the exterior. The other buildings were only observed from distance. The asphalt drives and walkways are deteriorating. The concrete sidewalks show signs of their age, are cracked, but generally remain smooth and are in fair condition.

EXTERIOR CONDITIONS

The exterior walls of the old school appear to be in good condition. Some tuck pointing has been done in the past at the top of the gym. The mortar joints show some signs of deterioration but nothing was noted that causes concern. Some additional tuck pointing will be required in the future to maintain the integrity of the wall for the long term. The windows are old but seemed to be in good condition. The units checked operated smoothly and seemed to seal tight when closed. The exterior entrance doors are adequate but showing their age. The canopy, exposed steel, stucco, wood siding and trim are recently painted. The main lower adhered EPDM roof is older but appears to be in good condition. The gym roof and canopy roof are ballasted EPDM. These are also older roofs. Not concerns were noted. The gutters and down spouts at the canopy appeared to be in acceptable condition. The through wall metal louver for the original cabinet unit heaters remain in the exterior wall even though units that were installed at the perimeter windows have been removed.

INTERIOR OBSERVATION

The interior of the building has also been well maintained. The corridor, kitchen and toilet room floors are a light yellow terrazzo with a vinyl or rubber base. The original school partitions are stacked bond CMU of varying thicknesses. Parts of the corridors still retain the original wood lockers and wood coat racks with glass above to the ceiling.

Ceilings are generally acoustic ceiling tile. The doors are wood or hollow metal in hollow metal frames. The classrooms have carpet over either vinyl composition tile or the concrete slab. No floor tile was noted that raised asbestos concerns; however, it is advised that, if it has not been done, this building should be confirmed to be asbestos free by an asbestos expert. Some class rooms have been divided up into offices. The new partition walls are generally steel stud with gypsum wall board. Some of the new doors are wood in wood frames.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY REVIEW

The main, side, kitchen and gym entrances are accessible. One back door is not. There is an accessible route from the accessible parking but not from the street to the building without using the front drive. The building is generally accessible except for the stage. There is no lift or ramp to access the stage. The toilet facilities are not up to current accessibility standards but a larger stall and accessible sink are provided. There is one accessible drinking fountain. Many interior doorways are not accessible.

EXISTING MECHANICAL CONDITIONS

The UWEX is served by a new high efficiency hot water heating plant. The plant consists of two nominal 400 MBH high efficiency condensing type boilers, primary constant speed boiler circulation pumps and secondary variable speed building circulating pumps. This boiler plant is only a couple of years old and is in excellent condition. This boiler plant can be expected to last 30 or more years before replacement is required.

The UWEX is served by a new high efficiency hot water heating plant. The plant consists of two nominal 400 MBH high efficiency condensing type boilers, primary constant speed boiler circulation pumps and secondary variable speed building circulating pumps. This boiler plant is only a couple of years old and is in excellent condition. This boiler plant can be expected to last 30 or more years before replacement is required. Heating hot water is distributed throughout the building to hot water convectors and finned tube radiation. The majority of finned tube radiation and convectors are in good condition and can be expected to last 20 or more years before replacement is required.

The UWEX (with exception of the multipurpose room) is served by a 50 ton cooling only packaged rooftop cooling unit. The unit consists of a supply fan, refrigerant cooling plant and filters. The unit appears to be fairly new and in excellent condition. This unit can be expected to last another 15 years before replacement is needed. This unit supplies air to a bypass variable air volume (VAV) system. A bypass VAV system is an alternative to the more efficient and common VAV system.

A good portion of supply air ductwork in this building is constructed of rigid fiberglass board and not galvanized sheet metal. The fiberglass ductwork appears to be in good condition. However, fiberboard duct construction has a history of failing over time compared to the industry standard galvanized steel.

The Multipurpose Room and adjacent stage are served by a split system consisting of an indoor air handling unit with supply fan, direct expansion refrigerant cooling coil, filters and remote roof mounted air cooled condensing unit. Both the air handling unit and condensing unit are in poor condition and have exceeded their life expectancy.

The majority of HVAC controls for this building are pneumatic. The new boiler plant and 50 ton packaged rooftop cooling unit are Direct Digitally Controlled (DDC). Both pneumatic and DDC controls appear to be in good condition. However, pneumatic controls are outdated technology and no longer used in today’s state-of-the-art HVAC systems.

EXISTING ELECTRICAL CONDITIONS

The UWEX building has, 120Y/208v, 800 amp electrical service. The service panel appears to be in good condition and appears to have adequate space for expansion.

The UWEX building has a Simplex fire alarm system and a communications system. The fire alarm system appears to be in good condition. The communications system is a mixture of new and old systems. This system would most likely be removed and replaced when the building is renovated.

EXISTING PLUMBING CONDITIONS

The UWEX building has a 3 in. city water service. The domestic water piping downstream of the meter routes under the concrete floor slab to distribute to the building.

SSESSMEN

T - UW EXTEN

SION

This is not a recommend distribution method should a leak develop in the underground piping. There appears to be a sub-meter exiting the building most likely serving a lawn sprinkler system. By the plumbing code, this water feed requires a back flow prevention device which does not appear to exist.

Domestic hot water is provided by a single 40,000 BTUH natural gas water heater. Included is a hot water return pump. Both water heater and pump appears to be in good condition. Plumbing fixtures throughout the building appear to be original and in good condition. Faucets and flush valves appear to have been replaced over time and also appear to be in good condition.

RENOVATION/EXPANSION CONSIDERATIONS

This building structure enables great flexibility for a renovation project. Certain aspects of the structure will need to be evaluated in greater detail to determine which, if any, of the masonry walls are used as shear walls to provide stability to the structure. The most likely walls that would be used as shear walls are the walls of the gymnasium. Because the structure is a column and beam many of the interior and exterior walls can be removed to accomplish the goals of a new Library plan. Key considerations are as follows. . .

Architectural:

•Most of the interior walls can be removed to open up the space and allowing ample design freedom.

8

•The existing structure can be exposed to allow for maximum vertical heights.

•The windows are uniformly spaced around the building providing daylight to much of the space. A window replacement should be considered.

•Skylights could be added if desired.

•An automatic fire sprinkler system could be installed but is not a requirement for a 1 story Library of this size and type of construction.

•The existing entry location could be adjusted to provide greater design freedom to meet the Library requirements.

Mechanical:

•The new boiler plant can remain to serve the building when renovated.

•Existing hot water terminal units may be reused.

•The bypass VAV system including roof mounted 50 ton HVAC unit will likely need to be removed and replaced with a new more efficient HVAC.

•The Multipurpose room air handling unit requires replacement.

•The fiberboard ductwork will require replacement.

•The existing pneumatic controls will need to be replaced with DDC controls.

•The main electrical service panel can remain - no upgrade to the electrical service.

•Electrical sub-panels may need to be replaced.

•The fire alarm system can be reused.

•The communications system should most be removed and replaced

Plumbing:

•The main city water service is adequate.

•The under slab domestic water piping distribution should be abandoned and replaced with new overhead distribution.

•The domestic water heater should be adequate to serve the building.

SITE EXPANSION CONSIDERATIONS

•There is ample parking at the rear and sides of the building.

•The existing front entry drive provides design opportunities to meet the Library requirements.

•The large site, parking, lawns, trees and gardens will require maintenance.

•The site appears to be used by the general public for gardening and other outdoor activities which could provide new opportunities for the Library.

FACILITY STATSLocation: 2350 E Mason St, Green Bay, WI 54302Building Details:

Year Constructed: 1996Square Footage: 27,325 sfFloors: One + Partial Mezzanine Site: Shared

BUILDING OVERVIEWThe proposed space for the relocation of the East Branch Library in East Town Mall is cur-rently occupied by a theater, a hair salon, a vacant retail space and the south east entrance to the mall. The available space is 26,000 square feet plus an additional 1,300 square feet on a mezzanine level. Recon-struction of the mall allows for the abandon-ment of the existing mall entry.

The building construction is typical commer-cial mall construction. The exterior walls are precast concrete tilt up panels or standard concrete masonry units depending on the location. The existing entrance doors are typical curtain wall construction. Steel col-umns and steel joists support the metal roof deck. Two 2 large skylights accent the exist-ing mall entrance. The Mezzanine is precast concrete plank construction supported on steel beams.

The available space is a large 180 x 120’ L shape. The mezzanine portion available is at the back of the existing theater. The precast concrete plank mezzanine is supported by steel beams and columns. The roof is an EPDM roof with internal drains. The main me-chanical systems are roof top units. A sepa-rate mechanical systems serve each area.


Exterior walls construction varies. For most of the building the construction is a precast concrete tilt up panel, with some areas constructed of CMU, store front or curtain wall. The structure consists of is steel columns and steel joists supporting a metal roof deck with 2 large skylights. The Mezzanine is precast concrete plank construction supported on steel beams.


The general condition of the building is sound but the finishes are dated. No issues were noted with the exterior walls or the roof. No structural concerns were noted. The main mechanical systems are roof top units. One or more separate systems serve each side. Plumbing is dated but the restroom complex serving the theater space is more than adequate in size. Separate electrical services provide power to each retail space and the common space. The theater service size may be adequate for Library requirements.

10

SITE OBSERVATIONS

The mall is located on major traffic routes and is readily accessible from either Main Street or Mason Street. There is adequate parking including ADA parking spaces adjacent to the building entrance. The site is typical mall design. There is a triangular outdoor green space on either side of the entrance walk. The available space in the mall is located at the back of the mall. The entrance is not visible from the street.

EXTERIOR CONDITIONS

No significant concerns were noted with the exterior walls of the building. There are no windows except at the entrance. The existing doors appear to be in good condition. The ballasted EPDM roof is fairly old but no significant issues were noted. The Kalwall skylights are old. The fiberglass panels are showing significant signs of aging. Replacement should be considered.


The mall space is showing its age and the current space design, as would be expected, is inadequate for the intended use. The space available is used by more than one different tenant and mall circulation. The floor in the theaters is sloped from the back to the front. The bottom of the concrete plank mezzanine is 8-8’ above the floor. The shape of the mezzanine is long and narrow. Due to its length, the 2 exits, one at each end, may be required. The maximum common path of travel on a mezzanine is 75’. The height of the ceilings in the spaces varies from high to low.

The theater has large toilet facilities, the design of which dated but the plumbing and number of fixtures is more than adequate for a Library use.


There is an accessible route from the common parking lot to the building. The building is generally accessible except for the mezzanine. There is no elevator or ramp to access the mezzanine. The toilet facilities are generally accessible but missing a grab bar to meet current accessibility standards.


The retail spaces and the common lobby area are provided heating, cooling and ventilation by multiple packaged roof mounted heating and cooling units. Each packaged unit consists of a supply fan, natural gas heating plant, direct expansion refrigerant cooling plant, and filters. The capacity of these units ranges from 5 – 30 tons. The condition of these units ranges from brand new to complete disrepair.

The existing rooftop heating and cooling units serving the retail spaces are each controlled from single dedicated thermostats. These units are designed to serve large open spaces and not buildings with multiple individual rooms having varying heating and cooling characteristics.

It cannot be determine if any of the existing rooftop HVAC units can be used to serve a new Library until a proposed new floor plan is developed and cooling loads determined.


Each retail space has a dedicated electrical service with electric meter, main electrical service panel and electrical sub-panels. All electric services are 120Y/208v, 3 phase. The electric service panels range in capacity from 125 amps to 225 amps. All service panels range from fair to good condition.

The theater space has a natural gas fired emergency electrical generator. It was reported the generator serves theater projection equipment and life safety lights for exiting. The generator appears to be in good condition.


Each retail space has a dedicated water service with water meter. Water services between tenants range in size from ¾ in. to 2 in. Location of the water services and meters is within respective tenant space served.

Each retail space has a dedicated domestic water heater. All water heaters are electric and in good condition. Plumbing fixtures in the retail spaces appear to be in good condition.

Each retail space has a dedicated natural gas service with gas meter. Gas services between tenants range in size. The gas services supply gas to all rooftop HVAC units and emergency electric generator.

This space can be looked at as a white box for a renovation project. Everything should be demoed and a new Library created in the space. There is little to be salvaged from the existing that would be appropriate for use in a new Library.

Key considerations are as follows. . .

Architectural:

•The interior walls between tenants and the mall can be removed to open up the space.

•Except for the mezzanine area, the structure is high enough to allow significant design freedom.

•The mezzanine creates design challenges due to its location and shape. The mezzanine may not be a usable space.

•The only windows are at the entrance to the mall or new library entrance. The entry is large and well lit.

•The 2 existing skylights are large and let a lot of light into the interior of the space. Improvement of the design should be considered.

•It may be possible to create new window opening in the existing walls.

Mechanical:

•A new Library floor plan that includes staff offices, conference rooms, meeting rooms and similar spaces, will require a replacement of most if not all existing HVAC units with a VAV (variable air volume) system.

•Assume a single rooftop heating and cooling unit designed for VAV application and VAV supply air terminal units with hot water or electric reheat serving individual rooms.

•Each VAV supply air terminal unit would have its own thermostat.

Electrical:

•The electric utility will require a single electric service for a single tenant. The theater electrical service may have adequate capacity. The others do not.

Plumbing:

•The water and gas utilities will require a single water and gas service. The Theater water and gas service may have adequate capacity. Actual requirements need to be confirmed.

•The theater toilet facility could be reused. Finishes and fixtures need to be updated.


•The exterior appearance is that of the mall.

•The existing fire lane is required at the front of the building.

•There is space available that may allow entrance walk and approach to the building to be redesigned.

•The existing green space on either side of the entrance walk may be able to be redesigned for Library use and improve the approach experience.

Year Constructed: 1982 (not confirmed)Square Footage: 18,170 sfFloors: One + MezzanineSite: Shared

BUILDING OVERVIEWThe Brown County East Branch Library occu-pies the north side of the two-tenant build-ing. Gnome Games is the current tenant in the larger south space in the building. The 14,450 SF building has a 21 foot wide mezza-nine along the back wall of the building. The faux Colonial style building was constructed in the early 1980’s.

The building construction is typical commer-cial retail strip mall construction. The exte-rior walls are stacked bond CMU masonry with a brick veneer. The retail portion of the building, approximately 145’ deep, is about 15’ tall from the floor to the metal roof deck. The mezzanine portion at the back of the building is approximately 19 feet tall. The bottom of the 12” concrete plank mezzanine is 8’ above the floor. The steel roof joists are about 2 feet deep.

It could not be confirmed that the exteri-or walls are load-bearing concrete block; however, no steel structure was visible at the exterior walls. The precast concrete plank mezzanine is supported by steel beams and columns in the interior of the building. The exterior materials feature brick veneer, alumi-num windows, and an EPDM roof with inter-nal drains. The main mechanical systems are roof top units. A separate system serves each side. Plumbing is dated and marginally adequate for the spaces served. A single electrical service provides power for both the Library and the adjacent retail space. The service size is adequate.


Exterior walls are brick with a CMU back up. It is not likely that the walls are insulated. The structure consists of steel columns and steel joists supporting a metal roof deck. The Mezzanine is precast concrete plank construction supported on steel beams.

13


The general condition of the building is good considering its age. The exterior walls appear to be in good condition. No structural concerns were noted. The roof is overdue for replacement. The mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems are in good to fair condition.

SITE OBSERVATIONS

The site is conveniently located to major traffic routes, along Main Street near the intersection with Mason Street. There is adequate parking including ADA parking spaces adjacent to the building. The site is typical strip mall design. There is minimal outdoor green space. A narrow planter separates the front building wall and the sidewalk on either side of the covered entrance porch. Two small landscaped spaces are located along the main entrance walk from the sea of asphalt parking separating the building from the street.

EXTERIOR CONDITIONS

No significant concerns were noted with the exterior walls of the building. The windows and doors are adequate but showing their age. The porch and other wood work and trim is in need of paint. The main lower roof is old and in need of immediate replacement. The seams in the membrane are delaminating in areas. The upper mezzanine roof is in better condition. The shingles at the covered entry porch are nearing the end of their useful life. The gutters and down spouts at the porch appeared to be in acceptable condition.


The Library space is well maintained but the design is showing its age. The back of house spaces are inadequate for the intended use. The bottom of the concrete plank mezzanine is at 8’ above the floor and is the ceiling for the spaces at the back of the building. This is marginally adequate for toilets, small offices, IT space, storage rooms and mechanical rooms but is restrictive for any use.

The retail space on the other side is just that. The space is adequate but nothing usable stands out. The lighting is not good for a Library space. Mezzanine stairs are not up to the current Code.


There is an accessible route from the common parking lot to the building. The building is generally accessible except for the mezzanine space at the back. There is no elevator or ramp to access the mezzanine. The toilet facilities are not up to current accessibility standards and the drinking fountain is not accessible.


The Library is served by a single 10 ton rooftop packaged heating and cooling unit. The unit consists of a supply fan, natural gas heating plant, refrigerant cooling plant and filters. The unit appears to be in fair condition and can be expected to last five or more years before replacement is required.

The retail space is served by a single 15 ton rooftop packaged heating and cooling unit. The unit consists of a supply fan, natural gas heating plant, refrigerant cooling plant and filters. The unit appears to be fairly new if not recently replaced and is in excellent condition. This unit can be expected to last another 15 years before replacement is needed.

The existing rooftop heating and cooling units serving the library and retail spaces are each controlled from single dedicated thermostats. These units are designed to serve large open spaces and not buildings with multiple individual rooms having varying heating and cooling characteristics. The room with the thermostat is the only room with adequate temperature control.


Both the Library and retail space share a single 120Y/208v, 3 phase, 400 amp electrical service. The main service panel is located in the library with sub panels in both Library and retail spaces.

Both the Library and retail space share a single 6 in. city water service. This service feeds both the domestic water and the fire protection sprinkler system for both spaces. The water service feeds two separate sub-meters serving the Library and retail space.

Domestic hot water is provided to both Library and retail spaces by dedicated electric water heaters located in respective tenant spaces served.

The capacity of the Library water heater should be adequate to serve 2 – 4 lavatories or sinks. The capacity of the retail water heater is sized to serve multiple lavatories, sinks and a washing machine.


This space can be looked at as a white box for a renovation project. Everything should be demoed and a new Library created in the space. There is little to be salvaged from the existing that would be appropriate for use in a new Library.

Key considerations are as follows. . .

Architectural:

•The wall between the tenants can be removed to open up the space.

•Except for the mezzanine area, the structure is high enough to allow significant design freedom.

•The only windows are at the front of the building.

•The entry is tight and uninviting.

•The mezzanine is not accessible and may not meet the 1/3 separation distance required for exiting. Another stair could be required.

Mechanical:

•Both roof top HVAC units should be replaced with a VAV (variable air volume) system. This system would consist of a single rooftop heating and cooling unit designed for VAV application

•Provide new VAV supply air terminal units with electric reheat serving individual rooms.

•Each VAV supply air terminal unit would have its own thermostat to provide individual control in the new Library spaces such as private offices, conference rooms, meeting rooms and similar spaces.

HElectrical:

•The main electrical service should be adequate to serve both spaces when combined into one tenant.

•Sub panels may be reused in their current position. If moved they should be replaced with new panels.

Plumbing:

•The main water service has adequate capacity to serve this building when both spaces are combined into one tenant.

•Combining the Library and retail spaces into one tenant will require replacement of both water meters with a single water meter.

•The capacity of the retail water heater alone should be adequate to serve all fixtures when both spaces are combined into one tenant.


•The faux Colonial exterior appearance blends with the surrounding strip mall, but it is inadequate for the public to recognize the space as a library, and it is not a unique statement for the Library

•The existing fire lane is required at the front of the building.

•Space may be available to green up the exterior and improve the approach sequence.
