ADMIN Building Notification: Two Upcoming Projects (Elevator Modernization & Water Filling Replacement)
Posted February 3, 2022 @ 10:17 a.m.:
Please note the following work projects taking place in the Administration Building. The first work project will be the Elevator Modernization project, part of the campus-wide elevator modernization project. The second work project is the HEERF Water Filling Station Replacement project, which will take place on Administration Building 2nd—4th floors. I have included more details below, along with contacts for each project:
- ELEVATOR MODERNIZATION PROJECT The next series of campus-wide elevator modernizations will be Administration Building (ADM) Elevator No. 3 (EL3, Breezeway) followed by ADM Elevator No. 4 (EL4, Holloway next to Data Center) beginning next week, Monday, February 7, 2022. I have been informed that crews will only work on one elevator at a time. While EL3 is being modernized EL4 will be available and vice versa. Elevators 1 and 2 will always be available during this project. I have included a diagram that identifies the various elevator work locations.
ELEVATOR WORK ADDITIONAL INFO — The scope of work conducted during daytime weekdays will involve replacing the pit lighting, elevator machine room lighting, electrical outlets, hydraulic jacks, hydraulic pump unit, elevator controller, control operation panels, roller guides, voice annunciation, hall lanterns, call buttons, smoke and heat detectors in the lobbies and elevator machine rooms, door operators and elevator recall system (automatic elevator lowering device). The benefits of elevator modernization include increased durability and reliability, improved fire and life safety features, decreased waiting times, reduced energy consumption, reduced operational cost, and reduced troubleshooting time.
- HEERF WATER FILLING REPLACEMENT STATION PROJECT of replacing the drinking fountains with bottle filling stations on the 2nd—4th floors. Jack from Eternal construction will be replacing the units. He will start on the third floor since we already have ongoing construction. Once we know approximately how long one unit will take then we can come up with a time frame for the remaining floors. Until this work is complete, please use the water filling station on the 1st floor.
If you have questions about the Elevator Modernization project, you may direct them to Project Manager John Lew, johnlew@sfsu.edu. If you have any questions about on-campus coordination, please contact Project Manager Anthony Benson, abenson@sfsu.edu.
Questions about the HEERF Water Filling Station Replacement project may be directed to Project Manager Tyler Brett, Capital Planning Design & Construction (CPDC), tbrett@sfsu.edu, or Director of Capital Project Management Maritza Delgadillo, CPDC, mdelgadillo@sfsu.edu. If you have additional questions that are Administration building-related, please email Executive Director of Administration jgar@sfsu.edu.
