Project Description:
Construction of an academic facility dedicated to classroom, faculty offices, and administrative support spaces is requested as part of the New College Capital Improvement Plan submittal for 2006-2011. In past years, buildings to support specialized science and fine arts instruction have been built, but the College has never had a building constructed primarily for standard instructional, administration or faculty office space. Most classrooms, offices and business functions presently in use were originally private residences or the original campus dormitories(Palmer Buildings). Adaptation of these building types for offices and classrooms is difficult. Resulting spaces are small and allow for few enhancements for technology or utilities. A building equipped to meet the technologicalstandards of today and tomorrow is critical to support the New College academic programs and increased enrollment.
 
Is this a project related to a federal or state declared disaster? No
 
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Planning and construction of a new academic facility would provide New College with a building equipped to meet the technological standards of the 21st century and the first standard building dedicated from the start to providing instructional, administration and faculty office space.Construction of this new facility will allow the demolition of approximately 35,000 GSF of existing sub-standard space.
