2 Building B200 The reviewed documents for Building B200 include the following: Tier 1+ Evaluation, Building 200 Administration Building, prepared by Forell/Elsesser Engineers, Inc., June 6, 2008. • Administration Building #200, structural drawings S-1 to S-7, and ST-1 to ST-3, by Leong, McClure & Messinger, Wildman & Morris, September 15, 1964.
3 The building is a one-story precast concrete building measuring approximately 170 feet by 96 feet.The gravity system is comprised of a plywood roof over wood joists, supported primarily by precast concrete walls at the perimeter and wood stud bearing walls at the interior. The lateral force-resisting system consists of a flexible wood roof diaphragm with precast concrete and wood shear walls.
4 The most significant structural deficiency noted in the Tier 1 report is the inadequate anchorage of the precast concrete walls for the required seismic out-of-plane forces. Without sufficient anchorage and ties to the roof diaphragm, The precast concrete walls could fall away from the building, resulting in a collapse of the roof.
5 The recommendation to strengthen or add new out-of-plane anchors and diaphragmstraps around the perimeter of the roof is valid. The Tier 1 report also notes that the building is structurally connected to the covered walkway, or Arcade, structure. It is anticipated that the Arcade will be removed in the updated Master Plan.
6 FMP also recommended to re-build B200.An inviting plaza near the Heritage trees, which serves to welcome students and visitors alike. This building plays an important role as the first building that people arrive at from the north parking lot. From the plaza, views would be open into the new Oval quad, such that pedestrians are led directly towards the new Library/Learning Connection, with no obstructed buildings.
7 B200 would house the Presidents’ and Vice Presidents’ SuitesB200 would house the Presidents’ and Vice Presidents’ Suites. Additionally, it would have a Large Meeting Room used by all groups on campus such as Senates, or as an Event Room. B200 would have a Reception/Information Area, Mail Room, and Copy Center. A new Program with exciting connections to be accommodated in B200 Administration Building is the Civic Engagement Center.
8 Lecture Hall in B200 could be used by all academic programs, guest speakers and larger gatherings.Due to main phone system in this building right now, a relocation of phone system must be considered before new construction. Ideal location: B300?
