Department/Agency Wayne Community College
Project Title Spruce Building Renovation
Scope of Work This project renovates the existing 28,280 gross square-foot Spruce
Building on the main campus of Wayne Community College to
support academic instruction for the Business and Computer
Technologies Division. The renovation will modernize classrooms,
computer laboratories, faculty offices, student collaboration spaces,
and associated support areas to better accommodate current and
future educational programming.
The project includes interior renovations throughout the facility,
including upgrades to building finishes, lighting, instructional
technology, and related building systems. Spaces may be
reconfigured as necessary to improve functionality, flexibility, and
instructional effectiveness. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire
protection, telecommunications, and technology infrastructure
systems will be evaluated and upgraded as required to support the
renovated facility. Specifically, HVAC systems will be upgraded.
The building will remain occupied during construction. Work shall be
phased as necessary to maintain ongoing instructional operations,
minimize disruptions to campus activities, and ensure safe
occupancy throughout the renovation process.
Project Site This design-build project is to be delivered on the Wayne Community
College main campus, with activity performed on the existing Spruce
Building. See the link for the campus map.
