July and August
Representatives from the University Library, University Administration, and Facilities and Services met with members of our Architecture/Engineering (A/E) Team for meetings on July 20-21, July 28, and August 4. These meetings reviewed the vision and program, provided an opportunity to validate – or confirm – projected spaces, and by August 4, verify the program and get a sign-off from UIUC on Gross Square Feet (GSF) and Assignable Square Feet (ASF) as well as shelving quantities.
At an August 18 meeting, the A/E presented options related to the addition of a loading dock to the east side of the renovated facility and discussed options for accessible ramping on the building’s western side.
Lastly, a meeting was held on August 26 in which members of the project team, F&S, and the A/E discussed various items related to building code as they intersect with this project.
September
September meetings include both scheduled project meetings as well as additional meetings scheduled that involve select representatives of the A/E, F&S, and University Library.
