The University of Alabama’s Student Well-Being Hub New Construction Project (“Project”) is proposed as a one-story building with a walkout basement for mechanical and service support space. The main level will be approximately 57,809 gross square feet (“gsf”) and will serve as offices for multiple divisions of Student Life including the Counseling Center, Collegiate Recovery and Intervention Services, Health Promotion and Wellness, and the Women and Gender Resource Center. The construction of a new building dedicated to Student Wellness and Wellbeing promotes the importance of serving students holistically while on campus.
As Housing and Residential Communities has elected to defer consideration of adjacent residence halls, The University recommends removing the storm shelter from the project scope since there are two storm shelters close to the building site. Accordingly, revisions were necessary to reduce the size of the building from 90,385 gsf to 82,485 gsf. The revisions include removing the storm shelter, reducing the size of the generator, HVAC requirements, the east side drive ramp, and the east side ADA ramp to the storm shelter.
A district thermal energy plant will provide chilled water for the Student Well-Being Hub, University Hall and future facilities in the surrounding area. Mechanical space from the main floor will potentially be relocated to the lower level to better serve the facility. Given the close proximity of existing and planned facilities and the energy demand density, a district plant with Page 93 of 426 water cooled chillers is much more economical than individual cooling infrastructure at each facility.
The Kilgore Lane Sidewalk Connectivity package will provide safe pedestrian passage on the north side of the site. The new sidewalk will be for a pedestrian path to Peter Bryce Blvd from the central Bryce campus, which will include lighting and landscaping. This will be completed as an early package so to maintain pedestrian connectivity in the area during construction of the Project.
Long lead items will be Owner Purchased Contractor Installed to mitigate the effect of continued supply chain challenges. The long lead items the project intends to purchase will be electrical equipment, a generator, chillers and cooling towers.
