Current Projects in Parks Library

Please start a project request for the room 005. We are looking to add to or upgrade exiting equipment to bring down the temperature and humidity in the room to preservation standards. Please give to Mike McCoy as he is familiar with this request and has surveyed the space already. See Justin Nolting for more info.

The transformer grounding in the “node room” in the library needs to be corrected. Sarah Jaeger, FP&M finance, asked us to charge the work to PG100343. Please initiate a new FP&M small project. You can make me the Lead Engineer and issue it to either Brady Streit or Mitch Hlavacek (per Mitch Hlavacek). Brady or Mitch will then complete the work as a small project “point and shoot” to the electrical contractor (Overton Electric) working on the main system grounding in the library. I will get a quote from Overton Electric. I’m estimating it will be less than $5,000. Project Description: Correct the grounding issue(s) on the transformer and panelboard in the Park’s Library “Node Room” (Room #0005A). Building: Parks Library Room Number: 0005A Charge to: PG100343 (Building and Electrical Maintenance) Requested by: Steve Larson, FP&M Lead Engineer: Steve Larson Project Construction Manager: Mitch Hlavacek or Brady Streit (???) Details: Correct the following grounding issues found on Transformer T2 and related panelboard in the IT Node Room #0005A in the Parks Library. 1. Add a #2 AWG insulated (green) bonding jumper between the “neutral lug” and “ground lug” in Transformer T2. 2. Add a #2 AWG insulated (green) bonding jumper between the “neutral lug” in Transformer T2 and the ground plate adjacent to Transformer T2. Use a Burndy YGHA2C-2N 2-hole compression ground terminal to bolt the ground wire to the ground plate. 3. Add a #6 (or #2) insulated (green) equipment grounding conductor in the conduit between Transformer T2 and the “Isolated Ground Bar” inside the related circuit breaker panelboard. 4. Remove any ground wires connected between the “neutral bus bar” and the “isolated ground bus bar” (or enclosure) inside the related circuit breaker panelboard. Electrical contractor to provide all necessary lugs, wire, connectors, etc.. to complete the work. Schedule a time for a 1-hour outage with IT Service’s John Crawfo

ITS will move their call center from Room 0192, downstairs to 0031/0037. They would like to model after the Foundation call center in Durham. They require 13 student workstations and 8 FT staff (one with more privacy). Noise and distraction are concerns to be addressed. There are desks that can be reused and incorporated into a panel surrounded layout. They would like to consider updated and dimmable lighting. Currently there is a "walk up" counter that would have to be replicated downstairs. Possibly with an overhead door like the tech lending area on 1st floor. There are large wall monitors (dashboards) to relocate or update along with whiteboards. The room would have to allow for a small break area, printers, 2 computers (to run the monitors) and storage. A stand-up collaboration area would be ideal in the center of the room. Room 0037 would require the door to be moved to access through 0031 instead of into the open stacks. Moving over summer is preferred. Worktag PG103008

Please remove the "Library IT Support" wall sign outside room 0074. Please make new sign that reads "Library IT Support" and hang sign outside 0033A. Use PG103216 for worktag. See Justin Nolting or Shane Baumler for more detail.

Please make ADA sign for Room 084. Standard size will work great. Use PG103216 for work tag. See Justin or Shane for more info.

We have several booths and chairs that were put into service in 2019. The furniture is in our 101 lobby area and will need re-upholstering. Please give this service request to Brady Streit or Rebecca Cantrall, as they are familiar with the situation. Use PG103217 for worktag. No charges will be approved until the Library staff receives and reviews the estimate.

Please make ADA sign for room 106. The sign will probably need to be stuck on the glass by the door entry. Use work-tag PG103216 if necessary. See Justin or Shane for more details.

Please start a project request for room 192 after ITS has moved out. We are looking into new furniture (tables and chairs), possibly new lights, classroom IT equipment, or updating existing bulbs and ballast to LED. Painting is a possibility as well. We would like a cost range estimate on this scope. Use PG103217 for worktag.

Please start a project request for Parks Library. Please include Dan Sloan on the project as well. We would like the following for rooms 298,294, and 292. -New carpet -New paint - with some light remodel work to patch the cracks in the plaster on the walls -New furniture - Stack-able chairs and fold-able/rolling tables -Make power available to all tables. -Same amount of current seating or more Ideally project would be completed by fall semester of 2025. Please use PG103217 as work-tag.

Please make new ADA sign for room 373 that reads: 0373 Human Resources Please remove old sign and replace with new. Work tags to attach: PG103216

Please make new ADA sign for room 374 that reads: 0374 Student Success & Retention Office of the Senior Vice President & Provost Please remove old sign and replace with new. Work tags to attach: PG113128, DD03056

Please make new ADA sign for room 375 that reads: 0375 Student Success & Retention Office of the Senior Vice President & Provost Please remove old sign and replace with new. Work tags to attach: PG113128, DD03056

Please make an ADA sign for room "0375". Use PG1032126 for worktag. See Justin Nolting if more info is needed.

Please start a project request for all 7 tiers in Parks library. We would like the lighting in the carrels updated to LED and also an electrical surface mounted outlet with USB-C capability. There is roughly 29 carrels per level. Please use PG103216 for worktag. Jenny Warrick - Project Manager and Troy Bowers - Electrical Engineer are to be on the project.

Please direct this project directly to Judy Dugan. We would like to use the Amobi pilot program to place an "Amobi Desk" and "Amobi Team" in the NW corner of 2nd floor "RM240" and the NW corner of 3rd floor "RM350". This is a test program and there should be no cost to the Library associated with this. See Brent Swanson, Shane Baumler, or Justin Nolting for more detail.

Please conduct a thorough review of all signs in the library. Wes Gee and PUSH Branding performed a walk-through and identified discrepancies in our various signs. For any questions or to clarify the scope of work, please get in touch with Wes Gee. Additionally, please use the work tag PG103217 for this task.

A lighted handrail at Parks Library was damaged this morning during snow removal. It has been removed, the electrical lines capped off, and cones placed where the inserts went into the ground. Starting a project to do repairs.

Water pooling in river rock area at the NE corner of the Library causing water to get through foundation and into the basement. The grade is such that water is traveling toward the building. This may require re-sealing the foundation and adding a tile and pathway through concrete to drain below.

Please start a project request and direct it to Stephanie Hosier and Rebecca Cantrall. We want to replace the existing carrels on the 2nd and 3rd floor along the west wall and a few desks along the north wall in the 240 and 350 sections. This is part of the Carver Trust project. Please use PG103217 for the worktag.

Parks Library Rm M0092C Provide hydraulic calculation plate for west riser (1980s) design area at the bottom of the riser in room M0092C. This is a result of 2024 Fire Marshall Inspection

Parks Library, Rm M0092C Riser control valve labeling needs to be adjusted to reflect sprinkler system changes. Some of the building wet zones are now on the Tiers Riser, so "Tiers" and "Main Building" tables are no longer accurate. Labeling should be as clear an unambiguous possible.
