BISHOP HENRY WHiPPLE FEDERAL BUILDING (EDI) FORT SNELLING, MN Engineering Design Initiative completed a comprehensive feasibility study for the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building located in Fort Snelling, MN. Facility sustainability and energy efficiency were the primary focus of the study. The existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems serving the building are very inefficient, have greatly exceeded their normal operating lifetimes and have become increasingly problematic. Asbestos containing materials (ACM) are also a major concern. EDI identified four facility alternatives ranging from refurbishing and replacing selected MEP equipment to complete ACM abatement and facility renovation. The study included conceptual design, construction cost estimating, tenant relocation planning, sustainability concepts and life cycle cost analysis. Based on the study results, the US General Services Administration has implemented a program to completely renovate the building so that it can continue to serve the regional offices of the Federal Government well into the future. CITY OF EAGAN FIRE STATION #4 - FACILITY STUDY (CNH Architects) EAGAN, MN CNH Architects provided a complete facility assessment of existing Fire Station #4 for the City of Eagan. This study evaluated the existing condition of fire station exterior envelope and all interior elements to determine their life expectancy and repair costs. The facility was also reviewed for ADA accessibility, identifying deficiencies and recommended upgrades. In addition, the facility was evaluated for function, current staff and equipment needs, and finally fire fighter safety, From this review, CNH developed a list of recommended remodeling elements and an expansion to better fit the current apparatus and to expand gear locker clearance to meet NFPA safety standards. After identifying the facility's maintenance, accessibility, function and safety deficiencies, CNH Architects provided preliminary design of measures to address the existing concerns, Once these project goals were determined, an itemized cost estimate was developed for the maintenance, remodeling and expansion project. Finally, CNH worked along with the city staff to develop a written report and digital presentation to present this information to the City Council.
