Download 2.2 Existing Facilities

 2.2 Existing Facilities
The physical plant consists of four structures totaling 48,427 Gross Square Footage (GSF)
and 31,814 Net Assignable Square Footage (NASF).
The Appalachian Laboratory building
(#900) houses the main research laboratories on site. Additionally, the campus includes
a greenhouse, garage, and chemical storage building (Illustration 2.1 and 2.5). Table 2.1
summarizes each physical structure at the AL campus, including construction dates, GSF,
(NASF), and condition code.
Each of the three levels of the main building (Building #900) are shown in illustrations 2.2, 2.3,
2.4 for a visual overview of the existing program.
1. AL Building Lobby
The overall condition of the facilities is satisfactory with the exception of the greenhouse.
The greenhouse, considered one of the research laboratories, requires major renovation or
replacement within the next few years (Figure 3) Failure of the greenhouse plumbing system,
which includes heating and cooling environmental controls, will force this facility to close,
adversely impacting the research of multiple AL faculty.
See Table 2.1 for more information.

Appalachian Laboratory Building
The main building contains a classroom used for meetings and presentations;
Interactive Video Network (IVN) room; administrative offices; faculty offices; graduate
student offices; small conference room; library; laboratory support rooms; building
and computing service areas; and research laboratories for water chemistry, soil and
plant ecology, wildlife sciences, quantitative landscape ecology, watershed hydrology,
stream ecology, forest ecology, general ecology, molecular ecology, and stable isotope
research. A bridge within the three-story atrium connects the two-story administrative
wing with the laboratory wing.

2. AL Greenhouse
AL Chemical Storage Building
The Chemical Storage Building provides safe, secure storage for faculty samples,
hazardous materials and lab gasses. It is currently in satisfactory condition.
902
AL Greenhouse
Built within a year of main building. Currently used by 2 researchers. Two water tanks
with sensors feed the greenhouse and generator. Piping and heating is deteriorating
and will require replacement within 5 years. The internal shading system within the
greenhouse needs to be replaced.
3. AL Greenhouse - Deteriorating plumbing system

903
AL Garage
This structure provides grounds maintenance equipment storage. Currently the facility is in
satisfactory condition.

TABLE 2.2
The table below references the building condition codes from the previous Table 2.1. The percentages shown reflect
the number of buildings with that particular code assigned to it.
AL Building Condition (GSF) Code 4 25% Code 5 0% Code 3 0% Code 2 0% Code 6 0% Code 1 75% Building Condition Code:
1.
Satisfactory
Suitable for continued use with normal maintenance.
Remodeling – A
Requires restoration to present acceptable standards without major room changes, alterations, or modernization.
The approximate cost of remodeling is not greater than 25% of the estimated replacement cost of the building.
Remodeling - B
Requires major updating and/or modernization of the building. The approximate cost of remodeling is greater than 25% but not
greater that 50% of the estimated cost of the building.
Remodeling - C
Requires major remodeling of the building. The approximate cost of remodeling is greater than 50% of the
remodeling/replacement cost of the building.
5.
Demolition
Should be demolished or abandoned because the building is unsafe or structurally unsound, irrespective of the need for the spa ce
or the availability of funds for replacement. This category takes precedence over categories 1, 2, 3, and 4.
6.
Termination
Planned termination or relinquishing or occupancy of the building for reasons other than unsafeness or structural unsoundness,
such as abandonment of the temporary units or vacating of leased space. This category takes precedence over categories 1, 2, 3,
and 4.
