Vice Chancellor and Dean of Engineering Director, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station Harold J. Haynes Dean's Chair Professor I FAX I k-banks@tamu.edu MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Karan Watson Provost and Executive Vice President Jerry Strawser Vice President for Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer M. Katherine Banks mknowta4 Vice Chancellor and Dean of Engineering DATE: May 26, 2015 SUBJECT: Peterson Renovation The Peterson Building (#0444) is a general purpose academic building with 84,831 gross square feet on the Texas A&M main campus. There are currently three small classrooms in the building (<35 student maximum each), and the rest of the building is used for offices and laboratories. The building is currently occupied by the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology (Agriculture) and a brain research laboratory (Liberal Arts). The deans of engineering, agriculture and liberal arts have agreed to a space transfer plan in which the Dwight Look College of Engineering will be assigned the Peterson Building after the College of Agriculture and the brain laboratory have vacated the space in the 2017/18 academic year. The faculty, students and staff of the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology will be moved to a new building on west campus, and the brain laboratory will be moved to equivalent space in the Teague building vacated by the college of engineering. President Hussey approved this space transfer in April of This new assignment is necessary due to the anticipated growth of the college of engineering. The Peterson building will become the new home of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The Peterson building is currently in poor operational and aesthetic condition. Therefore, a renovation is needed before the Department of Computer Science and Engineering can occupy the building. There are approved existing Texas A&M University plans for deferred maintenance repairs and replacements for the Peterson building over the next few years, which are listed below in order of Texas A&M University-approved priority.

One change that we would request is to remove the fume hood replacement from the deferred maintenance list because we will not require fume hoods in the future. However, there have been a number of flooding events in the basement of Peterson recently during heavy rain, so we request that the funds designated for hood replacement ($130,900) be used to reroute stormwater runoff away from the building exterior. In addition to the deferred maintenance tasks listed above, the building will need aesthetic updates including expansion of windows; removal of wet laboratory equipment, the majority of which is outdated or nonfunctional; placement of server rooms; and reorganization of the floor plan to be more appropriate for the Peterson buildings new use. These updates will be performed at the same time as the deferred maintenance while the building is vacated during the 2017/18 academic year. Based on a recent estimate, we anticipate that these aesthetic tasks will cost $6.5 million. The college of engineering will be responsible for this $6.5 million expense, which will be funded through revenue financing debt service over 20 years. I have attached pictures of the existing and proposed exterior of the Peterson building and proposed floor plans after renovation (see Attachment A). The only change in the exterior appearance will be vertical expansion of the windows into the metal siding area below the windows and placement of clear glass rather aluminum siding over the two entrances to lighten the interior of the building. I am requesting review of the deferred maintenance plan and additional renovation by the Council for the Built Environment; subsequent consideration of the project by you and the president for approval; and, if acceptable, placement of the project on the university capital plan. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Attachments cc: N.K. Anand J. Crawford T. Butler

8 COUNCIL FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT DESIGN REVIEW SUB-COUNCIL MEMORANDUM TO: Dr. Jerry Strawser Co-Chair, Council for the Built Environment Dr. Karan Watson Co-Chair, Council for the Built Environment FROM: Ms. Lilia Gonzales, AIA University Architect and Chair, Design Review Sub-Council DATE: August 21, 2015 RE: Design Review Sub-Council (DRsc) Report Peterson Renovation On August 19, 2015 the Design Review sub-council (DRsc) reviewed a request from the College of Engineering for renovation of the Peterson Building (#0444). The Peterson Building is a general purpose academic building with 84,831 gross square feet and is currently occupied by the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology (College of Agriculture) and a brain research laboratory (College of Liberal Arts). The deans of Engineering, Agriculture, and Liberal Arts have agreed to a space transfer plan resulting in the reassignment of the Peterson Building to the College of Engineering after the other units have vacated the space in the 2017/18 academic year. This space transfer was approved by President Hussey in April The reassignment of the Peterson Building will help accommodate anticipated growth of the College of Engineering, and the building will become the new home of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The Peterson Building is located on main campus near the intersection of Nagle Street and Lamar Street. It is across from the newly renovated Engineering Activities Buildings (EAB). The building is currently in poor operational and aesthetic condition, and a renovation is necessary before the Department of Computer Science and Engineering occupies the space. The building is currently scheduled for approximately $6.7 million in deferred maintenance projects to occur over the next few years. It is requested that all upcoming deferred maintenance items be consolidated to occur during the 2017/18 academic year while the building is vacated rather than over a multi-year period. It is also requested that funds originally dedicated to fume hood replacement be re-designated for correction of stormwater runoff issues. In addition to deferred maintenance needs, the College of Engineering proposes the following aesthetic updates: expansion of window areas, removal of wet laboratory equipment, placement of server rooms, and reorganization of the floor plan to meet future needs. These updates would not change the basic footprint or shape of the building. The building s exterior appearance would be slightly modified by the vertical expansion of the windows and the reduction of the metal panel area below the windows. The existing aluminum siding over the two entrances would be replaced with glass. The purpose of this modification is to allow greater natural light into the interior of the building. These aesthetic updates would be done while the building is 1

9 COUNCIL FOR THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT DESIGN REVIEW SUB-COUNCIL vacated during the 2017/18 academic year. Costs of these updates are estimated at $6.5 million and will be funded by the College of Engineering. Recommendation The Design Review sub-council voted for approval of the Peterson Building renovation as presented at Concept Design, with the following caveats: - When designing the vertical expansion of the glazing area, please note and consider that the Campus Master Plan design guidelines state that total window area is to be in the range of 18% to 50% of the wall area of major facades and elevations. - Further design details are to be presented at 100% Schematic Design and 100% Design Development, in accordance with DRsc procedures. Selected images are attached. Please let me know if you need additional information. cc: Kathy Banks DRsc Members Bettyann Zito 2

11 Purpose Proposed: Peterson Building 84,831 gross sq. ft. Given the growth in engineering academic research, space will be required by the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, which is primarily located in the Bright Building and has 36 faculty members and 1,129 students. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering currently occupies 62,000 square feet in five different buildings. It is anticipated that 10% growth will be needed. 2
