Structural Breadth - With the increase in number of air handling units needed to serve all the spaces, that means that there will be much more of a load due to equipment located on the roof.  A study on the subject will be necessary.  The current structural system will be analyzed and any changes that are needed will be researched further and the changes will be made.

 

Acoustical Breadth - Since most of the spaces have a main usage involving public speaking and lecturing, acoustical quality is a primary concern. The large lecture hall located in the Western wing of the building will be analyzed acoustically to determine if any adjustment is required.  If so, the proper alterations will be researched and completed.
