SECTION 011200
CONTRACT SUMMARY OF WORK
PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. The Contract Documents, including but not limited to, the Drawings and Individual Specification
Sections, apply to this Section.
B. Following this written specification section are related documents for reference including:
1. Construction Schedule
a. Estimated Project Schedule/Outline
b. Typical Academic Calendar
2. Building Access Diagrams
1.2 SUMMARY
A. This Project is the renovation of the second floor of Rathaus Hall at Queens College. While the
primary area of work is approximately 14,000sf on the second floor, the project also includes
associated work on the facade, rooftop, cellar and first floors in support of 2nd floor renovations.
There is no change of use, egress or occupancy proposed. This existing building has no certificate of
occupancy. This is a NYState-owned building that is not in a flood zone. This building is not within the
jurisdiction of local landmark preservation agencies.
Second floor renovations will create sorely needed new departmental space and provide students
with dynamic learning experiences in preparation for a variety of post-graduate careers in the arts.
This project creates specialized classrooms designed to support a variety of active, participatory and
lab-style learning environments. Three new studio classrooms will increase opportunities for new
courses and simplify the logistics of using the actual theater as a drama classroom. Sprung flooring in
these new studio classrooms will facilitate their use for dance as well as drama. Two lab-style
classrooms (the design lab and costume shop) join the existing sewing lab as workshop-based studio-
creative learning environments. These spaces will focus on instruction for set design and costume
fabrication. This floor will also include a more traditional front-facing classroom and smaller
conference/seminar/meeting room. Across the hall from the departmental offices will be a student
lounge for clubs affiliated with the Department of Drama, Theatre and Dance.
Queens College 011200-1 of 8 Contract Summary Of Work
Rathaus Hall, Second Floor Renovation
DASNY project no. 3802909999

The vision for this project was crafted by the College to "turn Rathaus into an energetic mini-arts
center for Drama, Theatre and Dance" by providing essential departmental resources and dynamic
new learning environments that will enrich students' experience as they prepare for a broad spectrum
of careers in the arts. Although the two-story Rathaus Hall opened in 1960 as the "Music Wing" to
complement the Colden Performing Arts Complex, the music department left these relatively spartan
interiors in favor of their new facility in 1991. The second floor of Rathaus Hall includes 13,148 gross
interior square feet. Original music classrooms and offices have become home to the vibrant Drama,
Theatre and Dance department but these facilities and building systems remain in largely original
condition and have never been modernized or adapted to suit their new occupants. For the first time,
new studio classrooms and design labs will facilitate pedagogical synergy between this department
and the spaces in which they teach.
In addition to providing specialized new learning spaces for Queens College, these renovations will
remediate hazardous materials, replace existing windows, upgrade electrical, telecom and HVAC
systems, modernize architectural finishes, and improve energy efficiency.
B. The Work itemized below is included under the scope of this application:
* asbestos abatement
* removal and replacement of existing windows
* patching and repair of existing concrete roof eaves
* replacement of deteriorated areas of brick veneer
* new rooftop/exterior HVAC equipment on new steel dunnage
* interior renovation of existing 2nd floor classrooms, offices and corridor
C. 2nd floor interior renovation Work includes:
* minor modifications and new controls for existing perimeter steam heating
* VRF heat-pump HVAC for Studio Classrooms
* interior lighting and electrical upgrades
* minor new plumbing work
