PROJECT OVERVIEW


Memorial and Plaza Halls Demolition and Renovation
Rochester Community and Technical College, Rochester, Minnesota

The demolition of existing Memorial and Plaza Halls and related facilities eliminated a backlog of required maintenance and asset preservation. New offices, flex-space and a large, versatile classroom now occupy a two-story addition which wraps around buildings on the west side of the Main Campus. The addition provides a new building entrance and exterior drop-off area. Existing square footage in several of the Main Campus buildings received technology improvements and updated finishes, furniture and lighting to make the spaces more learner-friendly. Major campus infrastructure improvements replace an obsolete grounds building and a new central chiller plant was constructed for the east campus. The project broke ground in November 2018 and finished in the fall of 2020.


Project Scope:
  • Demolition of 42,920 square feet – Memorial and Plaza Halls, ​maintenance garage, daycare center
  • Renovate 20,120 square feet of east campus Main Building
  • Addition of 21,780 square feet onto east campus Main Building

​Project Goals and Objectives:
  • Reduce campus size by 18,000 square feet.
  • Remove 42,920 square feet of substandard space, eliminating $1.55 million from backlog of required maintenance and asset preservation.
  • Increase space utilization of classrooms in Main Building from 47 percent to 74 percent.
  • Optimize existing space by updating finishes, improving lighting, improving technology, increasing classroom size and flexibility (lecture, collaborative, seminar, active learning, on-line courses)
  • Construct Central Chiller Plant to increase energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gases and achieve compliance with 2009 revisions to B3 and SB203 MN Sustainable Building Design Guidelines.
