The Project will consist of the construction of an above ground tornado and extended severe
weather event facility designed in accordance with the requirements of FEMA 361 and ICC
500. The 7,480 gross square feet facility will support approximately 833 occupants and meets
the requirements and scope of the Grant agreement.

Key design elements that will be included in the Project are restrooms sized to accommodate
design occupancy, emergency generator sized to run building systems, impact resistant
construction, and a structure designed to resist wind speeds up to 250 miles per hour.
Once ADMH elected not to participate in the project scope revisions were necessary to reduce
the size of the facility from 14,772 gross square feet to 7,480 gross square feet. Revisions include
removal of the North and South Wing from the Project design as well as roof and other envelope
adjustments.

The facility will be constructed to be complementary to the surrounding facilities including a
brick façade, gabled portico and appropriate landscaping. The building is sited symmetrically
around the oval between the Human Resources Building and the Campus Support Services
building so that the Campus Support Services building, and the Storm Shelter will frame the
Human Resources building in an appropriate composition of the space and structures.
