Campus Impacts

Brick Paver Replacement –Phase II

Two areas of campus will be repaved this spring. The brick paving areas along the McCann Plaza bus loop will be removed and replaced with newer brick pavers that are thicker and more slip resistant. The existing brick between the bus loop and the steps down to Red Square will also be replaced at this time. The existing ramp, which is adjacent to these steps, will be removed a reconstructed. This is being done to make the ramp accessible. The current ramp was built before there were ADA standards and is too steeply sloped to meet ADA regulations.

Areas of brick and concrete paving between the west CAB entrance and the clock tower will be removed and replaced because of various reasons. Take a look at this area and you can likely figure it out yourself as to why. Anyway, this area of paving will be slightly reconfigured and the short steep ramp to the east of the clock tower does not meet ADA standards and it will all be rebuilt to make it accessible.

This project is taking place now instead of over the summer because it must be completed during the current budget cycle, ending June 30th, 2017   

If you are a more visual person, the attached plans may be helpful to you regarding this planned work.

We have a contractor line up to begin work on these areas of pavement replacement. Lewis/Cutler Construction, a local Olympia construction firm, and certified Women’s Business Enterprise, should be starting the demolition for this project work over Evergreen’s spring break. This work is scheduled to be completed the first week of June, but is weather dependent.

CRC - Housing ADA Ramp Construction Project

Beginning March 27th, work will begin to replace and reconfigure the ADA wheelchair ramp and pedestrian walkway that serves as the primary connection between campus housing and main campus.  The length of the project will be highly dependent on weather, but is expected to be completed by June 9th.

Please plan to use alternate routes, including the pedestrian walkway/ramp at the CRC amphitheater, and the vehicle access roads adjacent to the COM and the construction project.  The elevator in the CRC lobby is available for use during CRC business hours:  Monday through Friday 7am to 9pm (Wednesdays until 11pm), Saturday 10am to 2pm and Sunday 5pm to 9pm and provides another means of access between these two levels of campus.

Signs will be posted noting available alternate routes.

This project has been a high priority to improve ADA access between campus housing and main campus, and must be completed during the current budget cycle, ending June 30th.  Thank you for your patience while we implement this important project.

If you have concerns or need assistance related to disability access during the project, please contact ADA Coordinator Meredith Inocencio PH:  360.867.6364 inocenc@evergreen.edu

If you have questions or would like additional information about the project, contact Project Manager Dick Clintworth

Lab I - Compressed Gas Storage Shed Construction

Starting Monday, April 17th, 2017, construction will begin on the new Compressed Gas Storage Shed.  The shed will be built near the Lab I loading dock.  The loading dock will be available at all times but please let us know when you are expecting deliveries so we can coordinate with the contractor.   All construction will be complete by June 30th.

Lab I - Basement

The renovation project design phase has been completed and is now in the bidding phase. We will be opening construction bids on Sept 3rd. As part of the project, surge construction activities are currently being worked on in the basement of Lab II, so we can temporarily vacate Lab I. Our current schedule is to start work in the Lab I Basement around the end of September and should wrap up next Spring.

Indigenous Arts Campus - Fiber Arts Studio

The College has been working the past few months with our Architectural team (Jones & Jones) to come up with a building design that will represent both the Maori peoples of the South Pacific and the peoples of the NW Salish. Below is a preliminary snapshot of a proposed structure. The design will no doubt evolve. The thought is to represent an upside-down canoe since both peoples revolve around a canoe culture. The zigzag represented on the roof is an important element meant as the binding line of the two cultures. This is an exciting project that will be a new architectural gem for our Campus.

Also, take a look at a carving, by the Maori carving artist Lyonel Grant, that will go over the main entrance door.

Behind the Scenes

Legislative News

Evergreen's 10-Year Capital Plan was submitted in August 2012 and will be used for the Governor's Capital request to the legislature.

The College's Capital Program for the next biennium, 2013-2015, consists of funds for facility preservation, renovation of a floor in the Lab 1 and Lab 2 buildings, design of the Lecture Hall renovation, predesign of the Lecture Hall renovation, predesign of the Seminar 1 renovation, and the acquisition and design of the Tacoma Center.

Minor Works Projects planned for 2013-2015 Biennium

$6,935,000 was provided for preservation projects across campus to help reduce the College's deferred maintenance backlog and improve the existing utility and roadway infrastructure, accessibility and the operation of the College's various utility systems. Some of the preservation work scheduled for this biennium is: new roof for the Shops building; repairs to the Seminar II green roofs and Longhouse roof; renovation and improvement to the water distribution system; renovation of the medium voltage feeder line; lighting improvement across campus including upgrading lighting controls; renovation and improvements to the HVAC/utility systems; restroom renovations; roadway improvements; and ADA access improvements.

Currently, the College is working on walkway improvements and, other small renovation and improvement projects across campus.

Sustainability Projects

Resource and Conservation Management

• The solar photovoltaic array (PV array) has been operational for four years.
• Steam, chilled water and several important domestic cold water meters have been added throughout the Olympia campus. These meters will permit calculation of the Energy Utilization Index, the energy used per square foot per year for all major campus buildings for the first team. The recent meters report information to the Environmental Management System (EMS). Existing meters, including many of the electrical sub meters owned by the college, will be updated when funding is available to automate their reporting the EMS, as well. Contact Rich Davis, College Engineer, at x6136 for more information.
• Mike Drennon, Mechanical Services Manager, has been steadily monitoring energy use on campus. As part of budget reductions, the college has committed itself to reducing utility costs. Rates for water and sewer have increased and offset some of the energy savings. Please be conscious of our conservation goals and help us meet them.
• Here are the end of year utility numbers. The College continues to reduce its use of electricity. We used 741 less megawatt hours over the same period as last year and our bill was almost $19,000 less. Our gas use was basically the same as last year and our gas cost was up about $13,000. For the year we have spent about $6,000 less than last year at the same time. Please remember that this is in comparison to last year when we were very successful in reducing our energy costs and use. (For your information our total cost at the same time in June 2009 was $2,295,820.) Please continue to monitor your use of electricity and keep your office space at as low a temperature as possible and still feel comfortable. Our goal for temperature is 68 degrees in the winter and 76 degrees in the summer. The chart below is in comparison to what the College achieved last year, as of December 2011.
