Approximately 14,033 gsf of existing space shall be remodeled so the CLC may be provided with private patient rooms and a more home like setting. The existing CLC areas would be completely gutted and remodeled. Presently patients typically share a room with another patient and a toilet room with three other patients. There is no shower in the shared toilet rooms located between the bedrooms. Showers must be taken in one of the single shower rooms at each end of the existing TCU space. The remodel would include providing private rooms with attached bathrooms that include showers. The design and finishes would provide more of a home-like setting for the patients. The new addition would be designed to blend seamlessly with the existing construction and remodeling of existing space. All utilities (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, sprinklers, fire alarm, etc) serving the existing CLC space would be replaced since the area would be gutted and remodeled. The addition space would be provided with all new utilities. The existing chiller plant sizing would be evaluated to determine if an additional chiller would be required, but it is believed that there is sufficient existing capacity. If a new chiller is required, there is space and a connection point within the existing chiller plant location for one additional chiller to be installed. The windows in the existing space would be reused since they are only a few years old and are energy efficient. Windows within the addition would be required to match the existing windows. The exterior construction of the new addition would be brick to match and blend with the adjacent buildings.
