Performing Arts ADA & Upgrade Project

 

This project incorporated the renovation and upgrade of  a 30-year-old building on Hartnell’s main campus. The scope included bringing the building up to current fire/life/safety requirements, current ADA compliance, with general renovations to the building’s interior finishes as well as the replacement of the outdated HVAC system with a new energy-efficient unit.

Infrastructure Phase II

The Infrastructure Phase II project consisted of the tie-in of water, gas and data that were instated as part of Hartnell Community College’s Infrastructure Phase I in 2004.  Isolator shut-off valves were installed at each building on the Hartnell Main campus, to allow for minimal interruption of service during any repair or maintenance to campus as a whole.  Prior to project, campus would be subject to a total shut-down.

FCS worked through the program and design development; construction documents; bid management, in addition to the management of the day-to-day construction.

College Administration TI Project

 

The tenant improvement project was a very complicated project with lots of moving parts.  FCS needed to manage the relocation of each department residing in the space, while construction took place.  Due to budgetary time restraints, moving the project into a faster pace, saved the District additional funds, and ultimately FCS was able to get the project finished early and under budget.  

 

FCS was responsible for the AOR selection process, user group programming meetings, design review, swing space, presiding over all OAC meetings, bid and construction/project management services for this project.
