ABOUT THE BUILDING RENOVATION: The Durst Family Humanities Building, located on the south side of the central plaza on the Purchase College campus, is a 92,530 GSF structure constructed in 1973. It houses all programs associated with the School of Humanities. The building, which predates changes in environmental health and safety regulations, energy conservation, and ADA requirements, has not had a significant renovation since it was built. Its spaces also have not been adapted to pedagogical developments that have taken place since 1973. The project will address renovation of building interiors and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. It also includes replacement of the existing windows. The renovation will include hazardous materials abatement and bring it into compliance with construction and accessibility codes. The building will also meet the requirements to achieve a LEED Silver rating. The program study for the Durst Family Humanities Building renovation at Purchase College was commissioned by the State University Construction Fund and Purchase College. The purpose of the program study is to verify findings in the July 2008 Space Utilization Study conducted by Perkins Eastman and collect additional information to develop a final program for the renovated Durst Family Humanities Building. | ||||||
