1 University Campus Perspective; C/D Materials Reuse and Recycling Prepared by Sarah Myers and BJ Tipton

2 The campus perspective Residence halls Houses Restaurants & dining halls Medical clinics and hospital Office buildings Classrooms Science research labs Retail stores Facilities maintenance shops Service station Theatres Indoor and outdoor stadiums Performance halls Power plant & cooling towers Museum Planetarium

3 UNC Chapel Hill One of 16 schools in the North Carolina state system 26,800 students; 8,000 on-campus residents 3,100 faculty and 5,000 staff members $500 million bond ($1.5 billion total) Master plan process Square feet 6.5 million in construction or design 4.5 million remaining

4 Before After! Renovation of existing buildings Demolition of existing buildings Construction of new buildings

5 All Active Capital Projects by Title

6 Active Construction Projects by Title

7 Pieces of the capital project puzzle Design Stages (review at each phase!) Schematic Design Development Construction Documents (Bid Documents) Construction Abatement Demolition New Construction/Renovation At UNC, a design manager works with the architect/design firm until the project goes into construction. Once in construction, a UNC construction manager becomes the university point of contact for the project.

8 Stakeholders and participants UNC Occupants, Board of Trustees, and Town Design Manager (until construction starts) Construction Manager Environment, Health and Safety Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling Facilities Maintenance Shops (salvage) Architect/Design Firm Construction Manager at Risk Abatement Contractors Contactors and their subs County solid waste officials (local regulations) Surplus, non-profits and salvage firms

10 Hierarchy - Salvage Reuse in project Reuse on campus Reuse elsewhere Recycle Reuse in project Reuse on campus Source separation MRF Movables Building components Fixtures Landfill Construction and demolition Land clearing and inert debris Hole in someone s field or gravel quarry!

11 Determine what can be reused, salvaged, or recycled during design: Walkthroughs Inventory Project Documents (drawings and specs)

12 Project specific list shown in documents (specifications and drawings): Required by law (RRMO, NC) Required for the project (ceiling tile, concrete) Suggested (markets are there, but iffy) Selective demolition Material or item-specific specifications Slate, ceiling tile, brick

13 Meetings: Pre-bid Pre-construction Solid waste planning meeting Progress and follow up Site inspections Planning and implementation: Draft plan Final plan

14 Documentation Monthly solid waste management plan reporting Selective demolition reporting Project close-out reporting LEED documentation

15 Case studies Movable Fixtures Building structure components

16 Movable Asset Salvage 120 student desks to an Emerson Waldorf school 250 student desks to the Nash County Boys/Girls club Stacking chairs to the Zen Center.

17 Movable Asset Salvage - This ain t your granny s attic it s worse. Biology building with a packrat facilities manager Animal skeletons, trunk of mounted birds Chairs, table, autoclaves, equipment, A/V carts Surplus sold all they could get but there s a lot they didn t get at all.

18 This is what happens when there s no plan hundreds of beds end up in a pile, and then the dumpster. And our office pays the bill.

19 Fixed Asset Salvage 211 units of library shelving to schools and libraries 300 seats from Memorial Hall to a community theater An Emerson Waldorf school filled a 24 ft. truck with wall cabinets, bookshelves, chalkboards, and projector screens.

20 Fixed Asset Salvage Chase Dining facility demolition Consultants were supposed to handle the situation. Ended up having a last-minute scramble.

21 Fixed Asset Salvage Chase Surplus moved 20 truckloads and received an additional 2 semis full of equipment, fixtures, and dishes. Surplus retail store estimates sales to date of approximately $8,000. Abatement contractor not having to deal with equipment = priceless.

22 Building Components SALVAGE Slate roofing tiles Flooring RECYCLING Metal Ceiling tiles Concrete, brick, masonry

23 Building Component Salvage Woolen Gym 30K sq ft went to a salvage company. They sold some, and are turning the rest into tables, plaques, and bar stools. They are selling them as official memorabilia. Habitat for Humanity got 5K sq ft and made $10,000 on it. Small portion reused on campus.

24 Building Component Salvage Phillips Hall Roof Purchased 26 squares out of nearly 90% of the existing slate was reused. New slate - $200 per square* Reused slate - $65 per square* (includes labor to salvage) Reuse saved $63,500 in material purchases $300 - $2,000 saved in averted tip fees. *According to estimates in the design phase

25 Source Separation Peabody 380 tons total debris 150 tons diverted 40% recycling rate* Materials recycled include: metals (ductwork) ceiling tile drywall brick/block/porcelain Project Supt. attests that he increased his profit margin by recycling.

26 Source Separation Chase Dining Hall 84% landfilled ouch! Triple the normal amount of rebar. Contractor tried to crush on site by picking up concrete and dropping it. Demo started 2 months behind schedule and critical path items were waiting on demo completion.

27 Material Recovery Facility Manning Steam Tunnel ph. 2B, 9/05 (estimated) 2.8 tons wood 3.45 tons metal 1.0 tons concrete 0.9 tons cardboard 0.5 tons plastic 5.6 tons landfill 61% diverted from landfill

28 Problems encountered: Getting buy-in and understanding of the big picture Reporting Getting information. When we need it In a consistent format across projects Reliable information (matching weight tickets to the job) Accuracy (volume to weight conversion) Compiling and analyzing data Timing Can t delay the project Small window of opportunity Schedules shift Labor for salvage

29 Where do we go from here? Solid waste management team Architects UNC design and construction managers Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling Solid waste consultant (assessments, coordination, markets) Contractors Joint goal setting (buy-in) Standard pre-qualifications for demo contractors Better communication when problems arise Accountability for reporting Compiling the numbers! Analyze Publicize Come up with a plan
