INTRODUCTION

Prince George’s Community College embarked on a new Strategic Plan in FY2011 – FY2013,

which has presented a new vision, mission, and goals for the institution. In accordance with the

strategic plan, the College proposes to renovate and expand the Queen Anne Fine Arts Building,

one of twenty-two buildings on the Largo campus. The renovated and expanded building will be

named the Queen Anne Academic Center. The academic center will provide an educational

environment that will allow the College to create a comprehensive Liberal Arts academic

performance and communication curriculum.

The purpose of this Educational Specification Program is to detail the required Part I and II

elements of the 33,455 Gross Square Feet (GSF)/22,852 Net Assignable Square Feet (NASF)

Queen Anne renovation and the proposed 136,545 GSF/ 75,321 NASF addition. Part I of the

program provides an overview of the project, a detailed description and explanation of the scope

of work, and the justification supporting the need for the project. Part II of the program details

the proposed spaces, current and proposed conditions of the building, delineates architectural and

contractor design/building objectives and provides supporting documentation to illustrate the

intent of the program.

Part I is organized into four major sections (Sections 1A – 1D):

Section 1A provides an overview of Prince George’s Community College’s mission,

strategic goals, history and campus logistics. Section 1A also summarizes the need for the

Queen Anne building relative to existing facilities and needed improvements on campus,

the major functions to be housed in the building, and indicates the relationship of the

project to the College’s Facilities Master Plan.

Section 1B sets forth the framework for analyzing existing conditions and trends to assist

in establishing the justification for the program. Section 1B identifies the institution’s

vision, mission, and goals and relates these elements into the overall plan to show current

facilities challenges which hinder the College’s ability to meet the strategic goals and

objectives.

Section 1C provides an overview of the proposed Queen Anne facility, which is proposed

to support and expand major departmental components to include Theatre, Dance, Music,

Mass Communications, Communication, and Public Relations and Journalism spaces.

Section 1C presents the solution to both the facilities problems along with the operational

and service delivery deficiencies the institution experiences.

Section 1D provides specific project information concerning regulatory requirements and

evidence that the appropriate agencies have reviewed the proposal. Section 1D also

summarizes alternatives to the proposed project, discusses why the proposed project is

the best alternative, and confirms the inclusion of the program in the institution’s

Facilities Master Plan.



Part II is organized into seven major sections (Sections 2A – 2G):

Section 2A identifies the proposed net assignable space required for the renovation. This

section defines all functions that will be performed within the building, details spatial

relationships between functions, and lists special requirements per space.

Section 2B specifically responds to maintenance and facility condition questions of the

Queen Anne building as prescribed by Part II of the State of Maryland Facility Program

Manual. Section 2B will convey current maintenance information associated with the

building such as the mechanical and electrical systems as well as address hazardous

materials contained in the building.

Section 2C delineates architectural, engineering, and planning objectives to be considered

during design.

Section 2D presents instructions for both the design consultant and general contractor.

Section 2D details design characteristics the consultant should include, identifies project

responsibilities and information to be provided by the consultant, and presents the scope

of work for the general contractor.

Section 2E provides the maintenance records for Queen Anne along with the recent

termite report.

Section 2F provides photographic documentation of existing conditions in the Queen

Anne building.

Section 2G details all maps, plans, forms and checklists to be included in the facility

program. These documents identify the location of the project, address the natural and

socio-economic environmental effects of the proposed renovation, report on project

consistency and detail the expected impact on space, enrollment and State of Maryland

initiatives.

g. Historical Summary

Prince George’s Community College was founded in 1958 by the Board of

Education of Prince George’s County on the recommendation of a Lay Advisory

Committee, which had been appointed by the Board.

The College first held classes in September 1958 offering a full program of first-

year courses in business administration, liberal arts, engineering, and teacher

education. A faculty of twelve in addition to the Dean and Director of Student

Personnel-Admissions Officer served the initial enrollment of one hundred and

eighty-five students. Suitland High School facilities were obtained for temporary

use by the College.

On June 10, 1960, the College awarded the Associate in Arts degree to nine

graduates at its first commencement. By the Fall of 1960 the College had

approximately doubled its original size. The faculty had grown to include twenty-

four members and the student body numbered three hundred fifty-five.

During the 1960-1961 academic year, the Community College Lay Advisory

Committee was appointed by the Board of Education and the Board of Trustees of

Prince George’s Community College was created being identical in membership

to the Board of Education of Prince George’s County. Effective June 1, 1961, the

Board of Trustees changed the name of the Office of Dean to that of President.



During the 1963-1964 academic year plans for a permanent campus at Largo

which consisted initially of a four-building complex (Bladen Hall, Kent Hall,

Queen Anne Fine Arts, and Novak Field House) situated on one hundred and fifty

acres was approved by the Board of Trustees. The first academic classes were

held at the Largo location during the 1967 Summer Session.

The Maryland Legislature during the 1969 session authorized the creation of a

separate Board of Trustees for Prince George’s Community College. The new

seven-member Board was appointed by the Governor and took office in July

1969. In July 1975, an elected student member was added to the Board increasing

its membership to eight. In May 2009, Governor Martin O’Malley signed

legislation that added the eighth appointed board member, thereby bringing the

number of board members to nine. The ninth board member was installed in

February 2011.

Since its founding, Prince George’s Community College has been a vital part of

Prince George’s County contributing to its social and economical growth. The

College in partnership with County agencies, schools, and businesses, provides

two-year degree programs, transfer opportunities, career education, workforce

training and continuing education. Each year, over 40,000 students take part in

more than 200 academic programs and Workforce Development and Continuing

Education courses. Prince George’s Community College is “committed to

excelling as a nationally recognized, intellectually vibrant institution which is

accessible, community-centered, technologically advanced, and responsive to the

educational needs of a richly diverse population and workforce.”

Prince George’s Community College and Prince George’s County Public Schools

opened the first middle college high school in the state of Maryland in July 2011.

The Academy of Health Sciences @ Prince George’s Community College is

located inside Lanham Hall, on the campus of Prince George’s Community

College. The four-year program blends high school and college work through the

use of dual enrollment credits. At the completion of the four-year program,

students will meet all requirements for a high school diploma and an associate’s

degree.

h. Campus Summary

Prince George’s Community College, which consists of one hundred fifty acres, is

bound on the east by Largo Senior High School; on the west by the Campus Way

South roadway and townhouse developments; on the south and southwest by

townhouse developments; and on the north by Largo Road (MD Route 202). The

neighboring land is predominately residential and is not expected to change.

The Campus encompasses a site that is informally divided into roughly four equal

areas:

1) A dense core of academic and administrative buildings located at the

southeast corner of MD Route 202 and Campus Way South. The close



proximity of the buildings provides easy pedestrian travel and

promotes interaction and a sense of community. Although the

compactness of the buildings is considered a desirable element, to

support growth the college must explore options to develop other

areas.

2) A radial array of parking exists, fanning out from the buildings, with

inner and outer loop roads. The amount of existing parking has

reached the maximum feasible for this site within a reasonable walking

distance.

3) Athletic fields are located outside the outer loop road at the

southwestern part of the campus and are convenient to Novak Field

House. Athletic fields are somewhat distant from the academic core.

4) An undeveloped area of woods is located at the southern edge of the

site; however, due to its remoteness and high water table, the land is

undesirable for development.

Approach to the College is primarily from MD Route 202, which given its higher

elevation than most of the campus, affords a limited view into the core of the

campus. The campus core has a well-maintained urban character.

As stated previously, the first buildings on the Prince George’s Community

College, Largo Campus, were Bladen Hall, Kent Hall, Novak Field House, and

Queen Anne Fine Arts. These buildings were constructed in 1967. Lanham Hall

was constructed in 1969, Steel Arts Building in 1972, Largo Student Center and

Marlboro Hall in 1974, the Facilities Management Building and Children’s Center

in 1976, Accokeek Hall in 1985, Robert I. Bickford Natatorium in 1991,

Continuing Education in 1998, Chesapeake Hall in 1999, and the Center for

Advanced Technology in 2007. In total on the Prince George’s Community

College campus there are twenty-two buildings. See Table 1A.1-1 on page 12

and 13 for a list of buildings.

In addition to the twenty-two buildings currently on the Largo campus, Prince

George’s Community College offers classes at five extension centers in Prince

George’s County. The five extension centers are:

Joint Base Andrews: located at 1413 Arkansas Road, Joint Base Andrews,

MD 20762

Laurel College Center: located at 312 Marshall Avenue, Laurel, MD

20707

Skilled Trades Center: located at 6400 Old Branch Avenue, Camp

Springs, MD 20748

University Town Center: located at 6505 Belcrest Road, Hyattsville, MD

20782

Westphailia Training Center: located at 9109 Westphalia Road, Upper

Marlboro, MD 20774

The existing academic buildings on the Largo campus are situated in close

proximity to each other and provide ease of travel. The main buildings are

situated around two courtyards. The first courtyard to the south of Accokeek Hall

is active, contains a covered walkway, and has a pleasant scale compared to

adjacent buildings. The second courtyard to the south of Largo Student Center is

partially shielded by Bladen Hall and is surrounded by large-scale buildings.

Electric power is provided by the Potomac Electric Power Company (PEPCO).

There are two underground electrical feeders located along MD Route 202 that

supply power to the campus. The main switchgear building located between

Largo Student Center and Bladen Hall services the entire campus with the

exception of Chesapeake Hall, which has its own exterior feed and switchgear.

Power to the campus buildings is distributed through an underground duct bank

system that was installed in 1968. As new buildings were added to the campus,

power was fed from the main switchgears through existing duct banks to new

transformers and building main switches. The current electrical configuration

does not allow for operational flexibility and individual buildings cannot be

isolated for maintenance and repairs. As a result of the increased power demand

and due to the installation of computer labs, etc., the main service and distribution

systems are near capacity. Cabling for communications and power is distributed

through an underground duct bank system. The communication duct banks are

completely full with cabling for the telephone, master clock, public address, voice

and data systems. A capital improvement project entitled Upgrade Campus

Electrical & Communication Duct Bank was approved by the Board of Public

Works to upgrade the campus electrical and communication duct bank systems.

The notice to proceed for construction was issued March 21, 2011 and

construction is currently eighty-five percent complete. The Upgrade Campus

Electrical & Communication Duct Bank will replace old Queen Anne electrical



equipment such as the main distribution panel/switchgear; the main dry 500KVA

transformer; the 225 amps, 32 circuit breaker panel and a 100 amp, 14 circuit

breaker panel.

The Maryland Division of the Washington Gas Company provides natural gas

service to the Largo campus. There are twelve separately metered gas lines that

feed the campus and are distributed to the following buildings: Bladen Hall two

feeds, Novak Field House, Center for Advanced Technology, Robert I. Bickford

Natatorium, Facilities Management Building, Central Receiving Warehouse, Steel

Building, Largo Student Center, Continuing Education Building, Chesapeake

Hall, and the Center for Health Studies Building (currently under construction).

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) provides water and

sewer services. Two eight-inch diameter water line connections located along

MD Route 202 feed the campus loop system. The original water main loop was

designed to accommodate expansion of facilities on the Largo campus. Two ten-

inch diameter sanitary sewers service the entire Largo campus. Due to capacity

concerns, the operating parameters of the sanitary sewer system must be re-

evaluated whenever new buildings are constructed on the Largo campus.

The existing campus roadways, exterior lighting, and parking lots require a major

upgrade to ensure continued functionality. The existing pavement is over twenty

years old (the expected life of pavement in the area). The original exterior

lighting system was installed in 1967. There are no emergency call boxes

installed throughout the campus, and the College’s exterior network of cameras

needs to be expanded. The Circulation & Roadways capital improvement project

currently at the ninety-five percent design stage will correct the aforementioned

issues.

To correct circulation issues caused by a lack of identifiable entryway and

directional signage, in March 2010, the College initiated a Campus Wide

Wayfaring project to brand the exterior signs on campus. The Campus Wide

Wayfaring project provides a new main marquee, vehicular, pedestrian, parking

lot identification, entryway, and building directory signage. The project installed

two new exterior building directories for Queen Anne and the overall construction

is 90% complete.

The existing campus fire alarm systems require a major upgrade to comply with

current building fire safety codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The original fire alarm system was installed in 1967 and does not have the

capacity to meet the current visual and audible alarm code requirements. The

College submitted an Educational Specification entitled Upgrade Fire Alarm

System Campus-wide to address these concerns in May 2010 and the Department

of Budget and Management approved the facility program on February 17, 2011.

On April 26, 2012, the College submitted a letter to the Maryland Higher

Education Commission (MHEC) requesting State participation in funding the



Upgrade Fire Alarm System Campus-wide project. The letter also recommended

award of the project to an A/E.

i. Organizational Units Included in the Project

The renovated and expanded Queen Anne building will provide a central location

for the College’s instructional programs and services dedicated to performance

and communication arts. This comprehensive approach will position all of the

performance and communication art programs and services throughout the college

in one central location to create a performance and communication art education

and instruction center. Organizational departments under the Vice President of

Academic Affairs include the following programs: Theatre, Music,

Speech/Communication, Mass Communications, and Public Relations and

Journalism. The project will also include shared space for College Life Services

under the Vice President for Student Services area, and a substation for Campus

Police under the Vice President for Administrative Services area. Figure 1A.1-2

on page 17 shows the College’s Organizational Structure.



Figure 1A.1-2: Prince George’s Community College Organizational Structure



Academic Affairs Area

The Theater Department emphasizes developing the craft of acting. Currently

three to four major shows are produced yearly under the faculty's direction. The

program will be expanded to provide students with more production experience,

including one-act plays, musicals, and musical theatre. Classes in technical theater

skills, such as set building, make-up, and stage design and lighting, will also be an

integral part of the program. A Dance Performance Major will be created as

part of the renovation and addition. The Dance program will offer courses in

many traditions, from ballet, jazz modern, and tap to social dances. Courses in

dance history and composition and choreography will round out the curriculum.

The Music Department has a broad offering of more than thirty-five courses in

various areas of music. There will be courses for beginning, intermediate and

advanced students; courses in music education, theory, harmony, counterpoint,

music history and appreciation; survey courses in rock, popular, ethnic, and world

music; performance courses in choral, orchestra, opera and musical theater, jazz,

and gospel music as well as numerous other traditional ensembles. Music faculty

and staff will expand upon their current curriculum to ensure a comprehensive

music program is offered that provides an environment for student success.

Speech/Communication is the building block for many disciplines. Faculty teach

many subjects including speech fundamentals, public speaking, voice and diction

and Speech/Language Pathology. Speech faculty and staff will expand upon their

current curriculum to ensure a comprehensive speech program is offered that

provides an environment for student success.

Mass Communications (known to many on campus as Television, Radio and

Film) will offer certificate programs in broadcast journalism, television

operations, and television and radio production. Additional courses in audio,

music recording, video, and video editing will be provided to students.

Public Relations and Journalism is a degree program that prepares students for

career positions in Public Relations. Most students who complete the program

transfer to four year colleges or universities to earn a bachelor's degree in a wide

range of media and public relations programs. Students will gain the basic skills

and knowledge in the program to pursue entry level positions in public relations.

Student Services Area

College Life Services provides a variety of student, academic and counseling

services available to support students in their academic, professional and personal

development. College Life Services will share several flexible spaces in the

building to provide students with needed facilities and space to hold various

programs and services.

Administrative Services Area

Campus Police will have a small substation in the building. A substation will be

provided to support the Campus Police mission, which is to support the

http://www.pasadena.edu/divisions/performing-comm/SLPA/index.cfm



educational programs of the College by providing a safe environment for all

students, faculty and staff to learn and work in without being the victims of crime.

When appropriate, the substation will also be used by Student Services to provide

information to students, faculty/staff, guests, and visitors.

southeast. Immediately south is a parking lot (Lot K) which contains fifty-three

faculty/staff parking spaces and twenty-one handicap spaces. Program Subsection

2G.2 on page 314 shows the Prince George’s Community College, Largo Campus

Map.

c. The date of original construction, the original building usage, the dates of

any renovations and/or additions, and any subsequent changes in use:

Queen Anne was constructed in 1967 to serve Speech and Theatre and the Music

departments under the Liberal Arts division. When the building was constructed

it included a large auditorium, which today is referred to as the Hallam Theater.

Since the building was constructed as an auditorium, not as a theatre, there were

and still are many challenges using it as an instructional and performance space.

Minor renovations to the auditorium have been undertaken by faculty and staff

such as building a large wall to separate one side of the stage from the scene shop.

The Music department used several spaces on the first floor of the building.

Behind the auditorium housed several small music offices and music practice

rooms. Directly off the auditorium lobby, room 100 was used as a choir room.

The current Scene Shop adjacent to the auditorium was used by the Music

department as a band room.

The second floor was used by the Speech Theatre department. Show sets were

built in room 200 and lowered onto the stage to be setup for performances. Room

200 was also used as a prop storage area. Room 203 was the Speech and Theatre

department office which contained four or five offices built by the College. The

Associate Dean’s office was off the auditorium lobby (now the Hallam Theatre

Box Office).



The Costume Room was in a backstage area (now the Women’s Dressing Room).

The Make-Up area for classes and shows along with the Green Room for shows

were adjacent to the Costume Room (in an area now used as the Men’s Dressing

Room). Underneath the stage was a storage area for other set props, hand props

and costumes. Theatre classes were held in room 200. Community groups

regularly scheduled Queen Anne facilities, which included all of the theatre areas

for no fee if they were sponsored by a Club.

In the 1970s, there was a fire in the Queen Anne basement storage room. After

the fire, the Costume Room moved from the Dressing Room to the unconditioned

basement area. Several small rooms where constructed by the College in the

basement for fitting rooms, and costume storage. In the late 1970s, faculty

members renovated first floor faculty offices to become a small TV studio and

classroom for TRF courses.

Around the late 1970’s/early 1980’s the Music department moved to Marlboro

Hall, and the Speech Communication and Theatre department relocated offices to

the first floor vacated by Music. Currently the Music department still resides in

Marlboro Hall and the Communication and Theatre department still resides in

Queen Anne.

d. Major purpose(s) of the project:

The Queen Anne building located on the Largo Campus of Prince George’s

Community College serves both the college and the greater community of Prince

George’s County as a primary facility for the performing arts and communication

academic programs. The purpose of the critically needed renovation and addition

to this aged building is to address building infrastructure and code problems; mold

growth; presence of asbestos; temperature and humidity control issues; and

demonstrated space, programmatic, and technology issues such as insufficient

performing and communication art spaces, teaching and learning spaces, and

flexible conference and meeting spaces. These are all major problems that

severely hinder the growth of academic programs and offerings and limit the

services that can be collectively used by the College and community.

The College is currently using 9,296 NASF of classroom overflow space in

temporary modular buildings (TO & TZ). Many Workforce Development and

Continuing Education classes along with several credit courses are held in the

temporary modular buildings. The buildings do not have plumbing so they do not

contain restroom facilities. Due to the condition of the temporary buildings and

the resultant learning environment, the College is exploring the possibility of

removing the temporary modular buildings. Since the buildings are counted as

on-campus overflow, the impact of keeping or removing the temporary buildings

is not captured in the above classroom surplus/deficit calculations. Although not

directly calculated in the space surplus/deficit numbers, the physical scheduling

impact of removing sixteen classrooms and 9,296 NASF from campus use

directly impacts the College’s responsibility to provide sufficient instructional

space. New modern classrooms must be introduced on campus to ensure students

have the facilities needed to learn.

Enrollment at Prince Georges Community College has increased over twenty-one

percent during the last three years. During the same three year time period the

Communication Theatre department programs that utilize Queen Anne have

experienced an overall forty-three percent increase in course enrollments. Along

with this substantial rise is a documented escalating demand from area four-year

institutions, employers, and students for courses and programs that, unfortunately,

the department is not able to offer because of inadequate facilities. As an

example, warranted requests for a music technology program go unanswered

because the current infrastructure cannot sustain newer forms of technology

required to support such programs.



Envision Student Success. The inability to provide students with choices that

foster college completion as well as meet transfer and career needs negatively

impacts the agenda of Maryland Community Colleges. In 2010, the Maryland

Association of Community Colleges developed A Promise to Act, a formal pledge

of completion, signed by the presidents of all sixteen Maryland Community

Colleges that reflects national and statewide efforts to substantially increase the

number of community college graduates by 2025. As part of this significant

agenda, Prince George’s Community College has established Envision Success as

an institutional priority. The goal of Envision Success is to ensure that students

complete degrees, certificates, and preparation courses for certifications and

licensures. It addresses three major components—time, choice, and structure—

while emphasizing quality, rigor, and relevance in an environment of broad

engagement. The administrators, faculty, and staff of Prince George’s

Community College are committed to providing students with a “choice” of

learning experiences that will enhance their potential to complete a degree and

expand career opportunities. The renovation of Queen Anne will enable the

college to offer more choices in the areas of communication and performing arts

and fulfill its commitment to students through Envision Success.

e. The major functions(s) to be housed in the building after the renovation, and

the change this represents from the existing situation:

Major Functions to be housed in the building include:

Academic Credit and Non-Credit Space: Classrooms, labs and study facilities

for Theatre, Music, Dance, Communications, Public Relations and

Journalism, and Television, Radio and Film (TRF)

Academic Support Space: Lab service space, tutoring space, flexible meeting

and instructional rooms, Catering kitchen, Concessions

Administrative Space: Faculty office suites, adjunct open plan office space,

conference room, campus police and information office

Student Space: Vending and lounging areas; study rooms, practice rooms,

student work “niches”

Major changes the proposed renovation represents from the existing situation:

The major change in the proposed renovation is transforming Queen Anne from

an outdated and undersized Communication Theatre building to a state-of-the-art

Instructional Center for both Performance and Communication Arts. The

building will add Music, Dance, Public Relations and Journalism,

Communication/Speech, and Television, Radio and Film (TRF) departments and

spaces into the building to create a unique community for students interested in

performance and communication art courses and careers.



The current Queen Anne building has only 22,852 NASF of space. Faculty

offices are currently located on the first and second floors of the building. The

building does not contain any formal classrooms and there is only one lab, which

is often used as a classroom and lab.

The Communication Theatre Department consists of five degree programs:

Communication, Theatre Performance, Theatre Foundation, Television Radio and

Film, and Public Relations and Journalism. There are also two certificate

programs: Theatre and Entertainment Technology and Media Production.

Needed spaces such as blackbox labs, radio broadcast labs, dance studio labs, and

theatre entertainment technology labs will be introduced into the building. Music

spaces will be programmed and designed in the building to give the College for

the first time spaces specifically designed for music acoustics and sound needed

by students.

f. A site plan which illustrates the building location in relation to other nearby

buildings and to roadways:

(Reference Subsection 2G.3 on page 315 which shows the Queen Anne building

in relation to other nearby buildings. See Subsection 2G.1 on page 312 for a

campus site location plan).

g. A statement as to whether the project is included in the current facilities

master plan for the relevant agency or location:

The need for the Queen Anne renovation and addition project is identified in the

Prince George’s Community College Facilities Master Plan dated October 31,

2008. The work to be accomplished is essential to ensure the physical resources

are in place to provide the program needs of all performing art programs. The

Queen Anne renovation and addition project will play a significant role in

supporting the College’s completion agenda.



SECTION 1B - PROJECT JUSTIFICATION

1. Identify and describe the facilities problems that the proposed capital project is

intended to solve.

The proposed Queen Anne Academic Center Renovation and Addition project is intended

to correct long-standing infrastructure and code deficiencies and expand liberal arts

programs. The proposed program will allow Prince George’s Community College to

offer a strong liberal arts foundation that prepares students upon graduation to continue

their education at four-year institutions, enter into the workforce, and expand personal

knowledge.

The proposed capital project will focus specifically on the following items:

Infrastructure, Facility and Code Improvements

Expansion of Theatre Arts Program

Expansion of Music Program

Expansion of Communication/Speech Program

Expansion of Television, Radio and Film Program

Expansion of Public Relations and Journalism Programs

Creation and Expansion of Dance Program

Infrastructure, Facility and Code Improvements

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Problems

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination to access

and use all “areas of public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” on the basis of

disability. The Queen Anne building currently has significant ADA violations and

compliance issues that must be addressed to provide equal access to all students, visitors,

faculty and staff.

Both classrooms in the building are inaccessible to individuals since both spaces do not

have wheelchair access. Storage room #200 which is used for the Theatre and

Entertainment Technology (TET) class is located on the second floor of Queen Anne at

the top of a flight of stairs. There are no elevators in the Queen Anne building so the

only access to the classroom is up one flight of stairs. The other classroom located in

room 110 is only accessible via a steep and narrow (non-ADA compliant) ramp.

The second floor in addition to holding the TET class also contains three faculty offices

built within the TET classroom footprint due to limited campus office space, the

Mechanical Equipment room, access to the roof hatch, and Theatre storage. All areas on

the second floor not only present ADA non-compliance issues, but also present code

egress issues since there is only one exit from the second floor spaces via a staircase to

the first floor. Access to first floor spaces such as the building coordinator’s office,



Scene Shop, Scene Storage, Women’s and Men’s dressing room, and the Stage are also

not ADA accessible. All these rooms require access up six steps. In addition, office

#108 that feeds into three separate office spaces is not ADA compliant due to the

required stairs that need to be traversed to enter all three spaces. Access to all basement

spaces is also not ADA accessible. These spaces include the costume shop, costume shop

office, costume storage, fitting room, fabrics room, dimmer room, and orchestra pit.

Entrance into the only theatre in Queen Anne (Hallam Theatre) is via eight steps up into

the theatre. To provide necessary ADA access into the theatre, the College cut a ramp at

the emergency exit-only door to allow individuals in a wheelchair or with disabilities

theatre access. The emergency exit-only door should not be used for egress into the

theatre; however, due to non-existent ADA access elsewhere into the theatre, the

emergency exit-only door is the only way to provide ADA access into the theatre.

Public restrooms adjacent to the main office suite are non-compliant and need to be

remodeled to meet Americans with Disability standards. The men’s entrance into the

space is too narrow, and the single urinal is installed at 23 inches above finished floor,

which is higher than the maximum 17 inches allowed. Both the men’s and women’s

restrooms do not contain the required ADA stall turning radius or dimensions plus

various faucets have push on controls versus paddle type faucets so new ADA hardware

would have to be included. Sinks and mirrors are also mounted higher than ADA

guidelines allow. Both men’s and women’s dressing room restrooms contain identical

ADA issues. Each dressing room contains only one shower. The shower does not meet

ADA code since it lacks the proper turning radius, has only a 24” opening, and has a 6”

curb at the entrance of the shower. Figure 1B-1 illustrates various building ADA issues.

ADA Spaces in Building



There are no instructional teaching spaces in Queen Anne that are ADA compliant and

only forty-seven percent of the offices in the building are ADA compliant. Overall, only

twenty-seven percent of the Queen Anne building is ADA compliant.

General Code Compliance Problems

The Hallam Theatre lobby and associated restrooms are too small to support the load of

the 800-seat Hallam Theatre. Out of the four public restrooms in the building there are

only two public restrooms readily accessible to visitors, students and faculty/staff using

Hallam Theatre. The other two public restrooms are in the back of the building and

cannot be accessed from the theatre without exiting the building and walking around to

another entrance on the far side of the building. Currently there is one men’s and one

women’s restroom available for Hallam Theatre use. The men’s restroom has three

urinals and one toilet stalls. The women’s restroom has only three toilet stalls. The

2000 International Plumbing Code 403.1 indicates that for a theatre water closets/toilets

shall be provided at no less than 1 per 125 men and 1 per 65 women.

Since there are not enough restrooms or fixtures per restroom not only do long lines form

that block access in the lobby, but during every performance significant egress code

violations occur. The Theater lobby is approximately 2,050 square feet which is

undersized and inadequate to support 800 patrons of the arts during intermission and

during the beginning and ending of productions and events. Due to the lack of space and

tight quarters individuals frequently leave the building during intermission or periods

when the lobby is overcrowded. Overcrowding not only leads to the discomfort of being

squeezed into a given space but also leads to measured physical discomfort due to the

environmental issues as a result of the heating and cooling system, which cannot support

the load of 800 participants in such a small confined space.

There is a wood stud supported plywood wall assembly between the scene shop and the

stage. Currently only a standard seven or eight feet tall door is cut through this wall.

Large stage equipment cannot be brought in from the scene shop to the stage, which

creates set design issues and production inefficiencies. A wood stud supported plywood

assembly does not meet code so a fire-rated wall assembly must be built between the

scene shop and stage. An interior roll-up door is necessary for stage production and flow

of large scale equipment and sets to be able to move from the loading area, scene shop

and to the stage.

Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Problems

One of the greatest facilities problems over the years has been the issues caused by the

buildings HVAC system. Heating and cooling system design failures have made certain

Queen Anne spaces unbearably hot while others suffer from unacceptably cold

conditions. Since Queen Anne was constructed in 1967, heating, ventilation and air

conditioning operating systems in the building have been noted as being ineffective.

Over the years the lack of a dependable HVAC system has affected college instruction,

programming, and outside community use. In addition to internal campus complaints the

College has received various complaints from outside users such as Performing Art High



Schools and Prince George’s Philharmonic. As an example, on page 29 is a copy of the

complaint letter from Prince George’s Philharmonic.



Figure 1B-2: Philharmonic Complaint Letter

The basement which is the only costume shop space in the building has no ventilation,

heating or cooling. The lack of conditioning affects the costume shop office, work area,

storage room, fitting room, fabrics room and orchestra pit all located in the basement.

Without proper ventilation these rooms should not be used; however, due to the lack of

space in the building and on campus the use of these rooms is necessary. Because of the

lack of conditioning and the elevated humidity in the basement the majority of costumes

stored have been damaged and are now unusable. The College installed two portable

dehumidifier units to help mitigate humidity problems but without permanent

temperature and humidity control consistent and appropriate humidity levels cannot be

achieved.

Without a significant redesign of the entire HVAC system the College will continue to

experience ventilation, heating and cooling issues which will affect course instruction and

use of spaces in the building.

Technology Infrastructure Problems

The technology infrastructure in Queen Anne is also in serious need of an upgrade.

Telecommunications closets are too small to house the fiber optic network infrastructure,

Ethernet switches, telephone systems equipment, patch panels, and power supplies

necessary to support the network, telephones, and other technologies in the building.

Several of the existing telecom closets in addition to being too small to house equipment

needed to support current technologies, share space with other, incompatible functions

such as the building coordinators office (room 113). Existing telephone and network

cabling is obsolete and unusable for high-bandwidth network communications and

Ethernet-based VoIP telephones. New spaces are needed to connect Queen Anne

technology users to the fiber-optic backbone being implemented campus-wide as part of

the Upgrade Campus Electrical and Communications Duct Bank Systems project.

Improvements in the technology infrastructure will allow the College to provide

technology services the current building infrastructure is unable to support.

The existing performance and control booth spaces currently support only rudimentary

communications and control systems. The expansion or extension of systems are limited

by the insufficient electrical power supply, inadequate equipment rack spaces, and the

lack of cable pathways required for modern programmable audio, visual, and lighting

control systems. Existing telecommunications cabling will not support high-bandwidth

data communications, VoIP, or high-definition video signals. The lack of pathways

between equipment closets, classrooms, offices, performance, and control booth spaces

severely limits effective communications and access to digital resources. The use of

wireless communications (Wi-Fi, intercom systems, and performer audio enhancement

systems) is constrained by the difficulty of providing connectivity to wireless access

points.

By upgrading the network and communications infrastructure, the College will be able to

implement a number of technologies important to its academic mission: Better access to

web-based resources, lecture capture capabilities, IP-based unified communications, and



broad-band audio/visual tools. Upgrading the wired and wireless connectivity to current

standards will benefits students, faculty and staff that will work and learn in this facility.

Structural Deficiencies

The concrete masonry shell enclosing the stage house has cracks on all levels from the

basement up to the mechanical penthouse. Vertical and diagonal cracks are present in the

interior related to the columns and beams supporting the proscenium arch, the stage grid

fly system and the mechanical penthouse. Previous brick mortar repairs are evident on

the exterior of the mechanical penthouse around the perimeter base. Horizontal masonry

joint separation is also occurring in the ground level toilet rooms. To prevent further

deterioration and structure damage, repairs must be made to keep the Hallam Theatre

open.

Humidity Control and Mold Problems

The lack of proper humidity control is a widespread building problem, which should be

eliminated as part of the renovation. Exposure to mold and mold producing materials

must likewise be eliminated. A majority of the mildew growth in the building is as a

result of water intrusion problems and piping condensation. Due to the environmental

risks of potential mold, the College has over the years removed suspected mold where

present. Due to water intrusion and piping condensation problems, which in most cases

is promoting mold growth, preventing mold growth permanently is impossible without a

significant renovation to control temperature and relative humidity within the building.

Currently Prince George’s Community College Facilities Management department must

remove suspected mold growth and mildew-like odors in the following areas:

Women’s dressing room (room #121) on ceiling tiles and pipe insulation.

The wet carpet at the north end under the proscenium.

Flooring in the Mechanical penthouse (room #300).

Continuing to respond to inadequate humidity control and suspected mold issues expends

needed operating dollars. Of even greater importance is that the presence of mildew-like

conditions exposes all visitors, students, faculty and staff to potentially harmful

conditions.

Site Problems

The walkway paving around the building exterior is rapidly deteriorating. Sections of

concrete paving at the grade-level sidewalk and elevated sidewalk at the building

perimeter require replacement in areas where potential tripping hazards exist due to

vertical displacement, cracking and spalling. The brick banding has significant mortar

damage and will require joint repairs. In addition, expansion joints at column bases

require re-caulking to reduce freeze-thaw deterioration. No major exterior lighting

improvements have been accomplished since the building was constructed in 1967.



Surface-mounted light fixtures along the exterior of the building are outdated, inefficient

and should be replaced.

Lightning Arrest Protect Problems

The Queen Anne building is not protected against lightning strikes by a lightning

arresting grid system. As there is not a lightning arresting system past lightning strikes

have damaged equipment such as chillers and the electrical 13K switchgear located in

Bladen Hall. To protect against future damage, a lightning protection system at the

building should be installed as part of the Queen Anne Renovation and Addition. The

system must be carefully designed to ensure that static discharges are provided with an

adequate path to ground.

Replacement equipment and systems

Within the next ten years many of the major infrastructure systems will need to be

replaced since they will have reached their useful service life. The roof is finished with a

mineral-surfaced cap sheet over a multi-ply bituminous built-up membrane which is

expected to need replacing by 2019. Currently the roof collects standing water around

the perimeter and rainwater ponding in the center of the penthouse roof where a buckle

now runs between two internal roof drains.

The building is supplied steam and chilled water from the central machinery plant which

is in Bladen Hall. Heating and cooling is provided by two-high-capacity air handling

units equipped with heating and cooling coils. The current heating, ventilation and air

conditioning (HVAC) system is ineffective for providing constant year-around

temperature. If the current HVAC was left as is, major equipment replacements would be

needed as various pieces of equipment are approaching their useful service life. Within

the next five years alone the following equipment will need to be replaced: 18,000 to

20,000 CFM and 8,000 to 12,000 CFM air handlers; steam piping gate valves; 800 CFM

exhaust fan; duct reheat coils; ¾ steam trap; and miscellaneous pipe insulation.

The current plumbing infrastructure needs replacing. Galvanized piping is used

throughout the building. Slow pipe leaks are evident which will require partial to full

pipe replacement. To correct the leaks the galvanized pipe lines should be replaced with

cast iron lines. In addition to the plumbing infrastructure, plumbing accessories and

fixtures will also need to be replaced. Many of the fixtures in the building are in poor

condition and are expected within the next five years to need replacing due to their age

and expected failures. Fixtures and accessories needing replacement in the next five

years include replacing the flush valves and water closets, replacing urinals, and

replacing wall hung lavatory and faucets.

Removal of Asbestos

Queen Anne has asbestos (ACM) in the form of pipe insulation and elbow wraps

throughout the building in areas such as the catwalk, mechanical room 098 & 300, and

rooms 109, 120, and 121. Asbestos-containing acoustical ceiling plaster is located in the

lobby ceiling and above the balcony seating overhang near rooms 203 and 204. Vinyl

asbestos tile flooring is also used throughout the building. The age of the building and



location of asbestos-containing material limits the college's ability to make even minor

changes or repairs due to the hazardous materials used in its original construction.

Fire Protection

The Queen Anne fire protection system consists of a limited wet-pipe sprinkler system at

the stage, in the communication room #103, a wet standpipe with fire department hose

valves and connections in the stair tower, fire department cabinets with hose valves and

connections in the corridors, portable fire extinguishers, and stand alone non addressable

duct-smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations and alarm horns. The vast majority of

the building is not equipped with an automatic sprinkler system for fire suppression.

Installation of a complete fire suppression piped sprinkler system throughout the entire

building is needed. The Queen Anne building has damaged and non-functional pull

stations and alarm horns that are not equipped with strobe lights for visual alarm

indication. A new fire alarm system as part of the Upgrade Fire Alarm System Campus-

wide project could address many of the fire protection problems.

Deterioration of Finishes & Fixtures

The exterior EIFS on the building is forty-five years old. There is impact damage at

several column areas around the building and the soffit now has peeling paint finishes.

Peeling and worn paint is also evidenced around the metal panel and wall louvers at the

penthouse.

Queen Anne is equipped with a combination of T12 fluorescent light fixtures,

incandescent fixtures and compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps. The majority of light

fixtures are outdated and are not energy efficient. In order to prevent unnecessary energy

use, the older, outdated light fixtures should be replaced with T8 or more energy efficient

fixtures. In addition, occupancy sensors should be incorporated in areas such as offices

and restrooms.

Overall, the majority of interior finishes throughout the building are over fifteen years old

and need replacing. Carpet in the auditorium aisles, offices, and classrooms is nearing its

useful life and needs replacing. Floor tile in storage rooms, the theatre classroom,

scenery shop and hallways also needs replacing. Not only do the finishes appear worn

and outdated, but visual damage is apparent due to missing tiles, chipped floor tile, carpet

covered with masking tape, and dissimilar ceiling tiles. As part of the Queen Anne

Renovation and Additional all new finishes and fixtures would be provided.

See figure Table 1B-1 on page 34 which lists numerous minimum improvements needed

to correct and repair existing building deficiencies, outdated and worn finishes, and

equipment failures expected over the next eight years. All improvements listed were

documented in January 2012 by an independent Facilities Assessment consultant (EMG).

EMG is based in Hunt Valley, Maryland, and performed a Facilities Condition

Assessment on the Queen Anne building along with all Prince George’s Community

College buildings on the Largo campus in support of the College’s FY 2011 Strategic

Objective “Improve the Environmental Conditions Within all Largo Campus Buildings”.

2. Identify the factors that influence the existence and/or magnitude of the facilities

problems (such as increases in service demands requiring more space, or

deterioration of existing space due to usage beyond design capacity).

The factors that influence the existence and magnitude of Prince George’s Community

College facilities problems include the buildings age and infrastructure deterioration,

inadequate building space, changes to student learning, planned growth of the College,

demands from Prince George’s Community College students, local interest in Performing

Arts and the economic climate coupled with rising costs of four-year institutions.

Building age and infrastructure deterioration

The Queen Anne Building is forty-five years old. During the time of the proposed

construction timeline the building will be nearly fifty years of age. The lack of major

improvements to the building systems since construction, coupled with its age has

resulted in a building infrastructure that needs repair. Structural improvements need to be

implemented at various locations such as around the stage house, building asbestos needs

to be removed, and humidity control issues need to be eliminated. In addition, without a

renovation, the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will fail shortly, which will

disrupt student learning.

Inadequate building space & facilities

The Queen Anne building has only 22,852 NASF of space. Of the 22,852 NASF of

space, 1,496 NASF located on the ground floor is unusable due to a lack of HVAC

conditioning and ventilation. The building is not configured appropriately nor does it

have the space to provide the necessary instructional facilities and performance venues to

support performing arts. The lack of instructional labs and classrooms such as dance

studios, performance halls, and practice rooms cannot be achieved without an extensive

renovation and expansion of the building. Since Queen Anne only has one theatre (the

800-seat Hallam Theatre) all college, community and outside programs and events

regardless of their functions and requirements must use Hallam Theatre. The space was

initially built in 1967 to service auditorium-type functions and compared with today’s

complex and needed instructional, theatre, concert, and performance functions, Hallam

Theatre has been used beyond its design capacity. As the majority of the building does

not meet ADA code, the building must be renovated to correct longstanding ADA

violations and provide a means for all handicap students, visitors, and staff/faculty to

utilize the spaces in the building.

Changes to Student Learning

Teaching methodologies and pedagogy of courses in the arts disciplines are undergoing

transformation largely due to changes in teaching methods and the introduction of digital

media. No longer are four walls and a chalkboard sufficient to provide the education and

instruction students need to be successful. Classrooms need to be equipped with smart

instructional technology and to provide and support technology-based learning centers

and instructional spaces to help students learn. Queen Anne does not have any smart

classrooms or instructional spaces equipped with technology elements performing and

communication arts students need to practice, train, and study in. Students and faculty



are increasingly interested in and expecting to view, critique, and create music using

computers and web-based software. Teaching styles and spaces likewise have to shift

and adapt to effectively teach and prepare students. Flexible spaces are needed where

students can collaborate, practice on equipment they will use in the industry, and learn in

an environment in which their arts flourish in an academic and social sense. Having the

appropriate instructional, research, performance, exhibition, and outreach facilities to

support the needs of students is essential to the college’s success. The renovated and

expanded Queen Anne will offer such space. The renovated Queen Anne building will

allow faculty the ability and flexibility to offer courses that speak to the direction and

needs of the performing arts industry. The building will contain specialized learning

environments and provide practical lab applications for the fine arts.

Projected Growth of the College

Since 2008 Prince George’s Community College has a thirty-two percent increase in FTE

enrollment. The college expects enrollment to increase as the College continues to

expand its programs and services. The new Center for Health Studies building currently

under construction will open Fall 2012 for classes. The Center for Health Studies

building will serve as the core of health education linking Health Science Academic

Programs with K-12 and University partnership programs, Workforce Development/

Continuing Education, and student health services in a more comprehensive way by

providing education, job placement, and community outreach programs.

Because of the strong community interest and workforce development opportunities

associated with the skilled trades, in 2011 the college began operating the Westphalia

Training Center in Upper Marlboro. Westphalia provides students with a laboratory

setting within each classroom, enabling hands-on-training in critical construction trade

areas including residential, industrial and commercial construction, building maintenance

engineering, carpentry, masonry, electricity, residential wiring, HVAC/Refrigeration,

locksmithing, plumbing, stationary engineering and welding.

In July 2011, the College in partnership with Prince George’s County Public School

system opened the first Academy for Health Sciences in the State of Maryland. Currently

there are 100 students enrolled in the program, but every year 100 new students will be

added until the total student count is 400. These students will take college classes and

receive a high school diploma as well as an Associate’s Degree from Prince George’s

Community College by the end of their four-year high school experience.

In July 2014 construction is estimated to start on the Lanham Hall building. The

renovation and addition project will among many things provide an educational

environment that will allow the college to create a comprehensive student learning center,

which will strengthen its Workforce Development and Continuing Education programs.

The proposed Queen Anne Academic Center building will further act to change the

dynamic on campus and draw interest to the arts. With new instructional spaces, classes

and courses will no longer be relegated to makeshift spaces in hallways, storage rooms,

offices, break rooms, and lobbies. New space will also allow the college to develop a



dance curriculum desperately missing on campus. The new state-of-the arts instructional

building will surely increase student enrollment and serve students for decades to come.

Demand from Prince George’s Community College Students & the Community at Large

With increased enrollment and the demand for more programming spaces for student

groups on campus, the community rooms, conference rooms, and Rennie Forum in the

Largo Student Center, and the current Queen Anne Fine Arts building are no longer

sufficient to meet the demands placed upon these two venues for such activities as music,

theatre, dance, rehearsals, auditions and student media.

During the 2011 Fall semester there were more than seventeen student clubs identified

that have expressed the desire to have expanded opportunities to hold events and to store

equipments and costumes. For example, the Gospel Choir, Dynasty Dance Club along

with the Legacy Pom Squad, have expressed frustration at not being able to secure a

space in the Queen Anne building to hold regular rehearsals and to store their musical

equipment and dance costumes. Over the past two years, the Student Affairs Finance

Board has approved funding for the Gospel Choir to purchase musical equipment, but

because there are no adequate storage spaces for this equipment in the Queen Anne

building, Student Affairs has not been able to purchase the equipment that the choir

needs. This has been very challenging because the choir has had to resort to rehearsing

and performing to tract music. In addition, student clubs such as Aesthete’s League,

Dynasty Dance Club, Legacy Pom Squad, Entertain Me and Image Inc. require rooms

with mirrors for their auditions and rehearsals and there are no such spaces available in

the Queen Anne building or on campus. The Student Media club is also faced with the

challenge of not having adequate studio space in the current Queen Anne building.

The need for additional performing arts space on campus is one of the foremost issues

present on the Prince George’s Community College campus today. Rennie Forum in the

Largo Student Center is a space to which students have access for art performance;

however, this space is very small, and is not handicap accessible nor is there space or

access to unload or bring in equipment. With the high demand for the use of the current

Queen Anne building, student clubs have not been a priority group to use this space.

Student groups, such as the Asian Awareness Club, the Campus Activities Board, the

Kaleidoscope Club, the Caribbean Students Association, Noypi Society, Student Media

Club, and the Hallam Theatre Troupe are just a few student organizations that will utilize

the proposed renovated and expanded Queen Anne building for meetings, activities, and

cultural performances. The building must provide adequate performance, rehearsal,

audition, equipment storage, and studio space.

Many area high schools have very robust dance programs as part of their performing arts

curriculum. As part of the necessary Prince George’s Community College partnership

with local high schools, the College’s Hallam Theatre is completely booked every day

during the months of June and July to accommodate the numerous local and community

dance studio recitals in the area. Due to the lack of overall dance space on campus the

College is unable to accept and enroll these same students into a comprehensive College

dance curriculum and program. Currently, the College does not have a dance classroom,



lab or studio space, which prevents the College from implementing a dance curriculum.

Students come to Prince George’s Community College asking for dance classes, but

regrettably have to be turned away and referred to another community college or

educational institution.

As a result of the College not having a dance curriculum, a dance club (called Dynasty)

was formed in 2009 by the students on campus to try to fulfill their interest in the arts.

Currently there are approximately twenty-five members in the club, who perform

frequently on campus during other events (i.e., Muslim Student Association and the 9/11

Remembrance program). The dance club does not serve as an educational program, but

rather as an opportunity to perform. The dance club does receive credit towards a degree.

The Dynasty Dance Club has difficulty finding space to rehearse and oftentimes can be

found rehearsing in spaces that are not large enough or equipped with necessary tools

needed to foster creativity and enhance dance performances.

The Communication and Theatre department is often approached about the need for a

dance curriculum, but without the proper facilities, it cannot be achieved. The lack of

proper dance facilities also limits the depth of the offerings of the theatre program. Many

area community colleges are able to expand their offerings in order to accommodate the

many career fields in the “arts” due to modern facilities. In contrast, Prince George’s

Community College course offerings remain limited in performing and communication

arts. For example, the College cannot offer a musical theatre program, without having

the necessary dance facilities. The goal of the College’s Liberal Arts Division is for the

music department to pair with the theatre program to develop a musical theatre

curriculum. To achieve this goal, the College must solve the issues resulting from limited

numbers of practice, equipment, and rehearsal spaces.

Another emerging area in the arts is management. Arts management is a growing field in

the industry. It requires the ability to work in different spaces and accommodate the

many requests of clients as well as work within a production team to complete objectives.

Having just one space (Hallam Theater) for which there is limited access, makes it

impossible to create the curriculum.

Overall there is a demand for the arts in Prince George’s County. The Prince George’s

Arts Council is a resource for artists and programs and was formed to address the arts

needs of the county. Because Prince George’s Community College is geographically

located between two metropolitan theatre communities, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.,

the program would be able to provide students with internships and performance and

career opportunities that other high schools and colleges cannot. Students must be

trained to work in multiple spaces with state of the art technical equipment since they will

be competing with graduates from other schools who have had such training.

The theatre program at Prince George’s Community College has been a conduit for

students from area high schools that specialize in the arts. Media arts, music, fine arts

and performing arts have had increases in their program enrollment as a result of working

with area schools; however, enrollment would surely spike with a proper educational



facility in which to teach and train students. Students are looking to attend an institution

of higher learning with robust programs and excellent facilities that are financially

affordable. Many students in these performing arts schools pay out-of-area tuition in

order to attend because they are looking for a program that will lead to their chosen

career. A facility that can accommodate the growth in student interest and one that will

allow career building is necessary so the College does not continue to lose students.

The current state of the Queen Anne building and the equipment in the building makes

staying current in the field impossible. Frequently students comment that the equipment

and facilities they had in their high school was better than what they are working with at

Prince George’s Community College. Students using Queen Anne facilities are not

learning in an environment that is conducive to what they will encounter in the

workplace. The College will lose students, or continue to do them a disservice, by not

addressing these issues without immediate action.

Economic climate coupled with the rising cost of education at four-year institutions

Increase tuition costs at four-year institutions are a major factor in increased enrollment

at community colleges nationwide. Tuition at four-year institutions across the State of

Maryland are rising while Maryland community colleges are holding steady. Prince

George’s Community College is dedicated to ensuring that all students enrolled on

campus and interested in pursuing their education receive a quality education. Expanding

performing and communication arts education will certainly help the college continue to

grow and provide courses and instruction students need to be successful in their chosen

career paths. The College expects enrollment to continue to grow even after the economy

begins to recover since undoubtedly four-year institution costs will continue to climb or

remain too high for many students.

3. Use historical data to show how those factors have changed in the recent past and

projection to show how they are expected to change in the future.

As evidenced by Table 1B-2 on page 41 Prince George’s Community College

experienced significant growth in enrollment – twenty three percent between Fall 2007

and Fall 2011. Notably, although a large majority of Prince George’s Community

College students currently choose to enroll part-time, the number of students opting for

full-time enrollment increased by fifty four percent during that period.

The College anticipates moderate growth during the next ten years – currently projected

to be seven percent. This projection is based on the College’s strategic planning goals

and commitment to “Envision Success” both of which emphasize creating supportive and

adequately resourced pathways and interventions designed to increase student retention

and completion. These pathways will include the implementation of innovative

instructional delivery models and the creation of new programs to respond to regional

market demand. In that regard, this facility exemplifies opportunities for both – state of

the art and “real world” learning opportunities and new programs in the areas of music,

theatre, dance, television, radio, film, and communications.



Table 1B-2 also illustrates the impact of this growth in headcount on the number of

student credit hours. Between Fall 2007 and Fall 2011 credit hours increased by thirty

three percent. An eight percent growth is projected between Fall 2011 and Fall 2021.

While the increase in credit hours yields the predicted increase in FTE, it is important to

note that the College is projecting a greater increase in on-campus activity. A ten-year

increase of eleven percent versus five percent in off-campus is projected. This is based

on the assumption that by 2021, the College’s three new facilities – Center for Advanced

Technology, Center for Health Studies, and the renovated Queen Anne Academic Center

will have reached/approached capacity.

Table 1B-3 on page 42 focuses specifically on those programs that will be most directly

impacted by the new Queen Anne facility. Two measures are used – the number of

majors in the programs that will be most significantly impacted by the Queen Anne

Academic Center and the number of credit hours that will be taken by students interested

in the programming supported by the Center. Both are pertinent given the fact that this

facility will attract interest from and support the general college population as well as

students who choose to major in areas most closely related to the programs housed within

the facility.

While the College’s headcount increased twenty three percent between Fall 2007 and Fall

2011, even with sub-par facilities, the number of students choosing to major in

Communication/Speech, Music, or Theatre, increased thirty two percent. This was also

the case when credit hours were compared, albeit the increase was not of a comparable

magnitude. The current interest coupled with the fact that several of the Prince George’s

County Public High Schools and many community groups currently support robust

theatre and dance programs lead to the projection of a sharp increase in both headcount

and credits through Fall 2021 – fifty three percent increase in the number of affected

program majors; seventy three percent increase in the number of credits taught by the

departments most directly impacted.

4. Use historical data to show how the facilities problems themselves have changed in

the recent past, and how they are expected to change in the future.

As previously stated the Queen Anne building has never been renovated and is currently

forty-five years old. The increase in student enrollment has led to increased space needs,

which when combined with and aging building has relegated Queen Anne to an

ineffective instructional building that must be renovated and expanded.

Currently Theatre, Communication, Television, Radio and Film (TRF), Public Relations

and Journalism, and Music have limited space on campus. The lack of space restricts

program growth and instruction of students. Table 1B-4 details the limited amount of

space on campus for the aforementioned departments.

Communication and Theatre programs such as community groups and internal College

groups. Due to the lack of space and facilities all of the Assembly (HEGIS code 610 –

615) space must be used by the Communication and Theatre Department as lab and

instructional space.

Table 1B-5 on page 44 details the approximate amount of program specific dedicated

space needed on campus to support the needs of the departments. The referenced space is

included in the overall Queen Anne Academic Center total proposed space.

Table 1B-5.

Section 2E on page 279 lists building maintenance reports. As evidenced by the

maintenance reports, facilities problems have not improved over the years. Heating,

ventilation, and air conditioning issues continue to affect instruction, performance,

rehearsal and event space and activities. Lighting is another facilities issue. Queen Anne

uses a combination of T12 fluorescent light fixtures, incandescent fixtures, compact

fluorescent (CFL) lamps, recessed canister type light fixtures, and “PAR” track type stage

lighting. The majority of corridor, classroom and office spaces are 2’ x 4’ fixtures. Most

of the fixtures are not energy efficient and have a short life span. A renovated and

expanded Queen Anne building would have a HVAC system specifically designed for the

activities in the building and contain long-life energy efficient lighting.

5. Explain the consequences of the facilities problems for the agency’s conduct of

operations and delivery of services.

Despite the exceptional effort from faculty and staff and the drive, commitment, and

brilliance of Prince George’s Community College students, without a major renovation

and addition, the Queen Anne facility will continue to fall well short of providing the

quality of education one would expect at a comprehensive higher education institution.

Continuing instruction under the parameters of the building's existing conditions will

have a direct result in the success of Prince George’s Community College students.

Enrollments in the limited classes that are offered in Theater, Music, and Television,

Radio & Film will suffer, and prospective dance majors will never enroll at the College.

Prince George’s Community College students who transfer to four-year institutions will

have not experienced working, practicing, and performing in industry-standard facilities

such as radio production labs and band rooms. The lack of experience will place Prince



George’s Community College students at a disadvantage, which will cause students

greater challenges catching up and competing with their peers from other colleges.

The age and building aesthetics combined with outdated and ineffective facilities will

only serve as it is now to discourage student enrollment and retention. The current

infrastructure within the Queen Anne building will not accommodate some of the newest

technology available in theatre, music, dance, television, radio, film and speech, which

contributes to the complete lack of needed technology within the building. Most of the

Queen Anne building does not comply with ADA accessibility guidelines, which is

particularly a problem for such an instructional and public venue. All facilities must be

readily accessible to students, visitors, faculty and staff. Further issues pertaining to

insufficient ventilation and air conditioning, humidity control, and electrical load

limitations all serve to complicate planning for and carrying out instructional and

performance activities.

As an example of instructional challenges, the current Queen Anne facility limits theater

choices for productions since the building has no rehearsal space, and a rigid singular

performance space (the Hallam Theatre). Large musicals require dance choreography

(which the College does not have) so musicals are often omitted from the theatre

curriculum. For many theatre, music, and TRF classes taught at the College, because of

the lack of space along with modern and current technology, instructors and students

must “MacGyver” techniques in order to meet course objectives, which impacts the

ultimate effectiveness of the class.

With modern state-of-the-art theatre facilities in high schools in Prince George’s County

as well as surrounding counties, students often do not see Prince George’s Community

College as a viable option since there are other colleges in the state of Maryland that may

better fit their needs. If the College continues to lose students (particularly from Prince

George’s County) who want to pursue the arts, the College will eventually start losing its

place as a leading community college and center for excellence. In addition, with area

colleges having more up-to-date facilities and equipment, it will continue to be difficult

to hire qualified faculty, staff, and adjunct faculty to work in the current space. These

challenges and problems will effectively hurt all programs and the students they serve.

With the increase in enrollment, the student clubs and organizations have also grown in

size and require the necessary space to hold productions that they plan. The current

facility is unavailable because of the lack of a quality infrastructure to offer these

programs. Because of our increased enrollment, it is important that we have programs for

students during the peak times students are on campus. This cannot be accomplished

with the current space in Queen Anne.

6. Explain exactly how the facilities problems contribute to the operational and

service delivery deficiencies.

The College currently has space deficits in classroom, instructional labs, office, and study

space. Lack of space issues are further enhanced by the fact that many of the existing

spaces on campus (particularly in the Queen Anne building) are inadequate learning

environments. The impact of insufficient and inadequate spaces for performing and



communication arts will continue to worsen until the Queen Anne building is renovated.

Problems to the College’s operations and services include:

Conflicts over scheduling: students may or may not get into required courses due to

the limited quantity of courses that can be offered at one time.

Lack of dedicated classrooms to teach Communication and Theatre classes: the

current Queen Anne building does not have any classrooms and only has one lab.

Because Queen Anne does not have any classrooms, classes must be held in other

buildings. Currently classes are held in Accokeek Hall, Bladen Hall, Marlboro

Hall, Center for Advanced Technology, and the Continuing Education Building.

Additional classrooms in Queen Anne would allow departments in other buildings

to add additional courses and sections due to greater access and use of classroom

space.

Lack of program identity: since Communication and Theatre classes are dispersed

around campus the identity and exposure of the department suffers. With limited

exposure, enrolling and retaining students is challenging.

Lack of an extensive Communication and Theatre curriculum which prohibits

teaching multiple classes and courses.

Lack of a dance curriculum.

Impact on students in their transfer efforts to receive their four-year baccalaureate

degree: due to the limitations of current courses, many four year schools will not

take various credits students completed in their Prince George’s Community

College career.

Failure to properly prepare students by not offering students a full spectrum of

courses, specialized labs, studio time and needed equipment, technology, and

resources.

Lack of industry standard technologies: college programs are unable to adequately

prepare students to work in contemporary “real world” theatre tech environments.

Reduction in enrollment: students enroll at other institutions because of limited

performing arts programs and curriculums. Although enrollment is up in some cases

the College is not able to fully attract many would-be students interested in the

performance and communication arts.

Lack of space: students are crowded when doing studio and lab work which hinders

both quality and safety.



Lack of space: student clubs and organizations are unable to have performances.

Lack of Rehearsal Space.

Reduction in college (non-performance, art-related) events: as there is only one

theatre, College events and instructional classes must co-exist in one space.

Use of needed general classrooms by specialized music courses, which need

specialized labs to teach in, not general classrooms.

Theatre, music, television, radio, and film have a reduced number of performances,

exhibits and shows they can perform each semester due to the lack of facilities.

Reduction in overall student and performance art majors due to the lack of facilities

and general reduction of courses offered at Prince George’s Community College

compared to similar community colleges like Montgomery and Howard, and four-

year institutions across the state that provide better facilities and offer more class

and curriculum choices.

Difficulties attracting qualified faculty and staff due to facilities and general lack of

classes, curriculums, and office space offered.

Difficulties attracting professional performers and companies due to the conditions

and lack of facilities.

Difficulties establishing employer partnerships and student internships, which is a

result of not being able to effectively teach current students to employee desired

levels.

Inability to expand program and course offerings due to the conditions and lack of

facilities.

Failure to support necessary assemblies and events (e.g., open house, student

orientation, and student performances) of the Academy of Health Sciences, which is

the on-campus middle college high school established in 2011.

Reduced Workforce Development and Continuing Education (WDCE) programs in

performing and communication arts due to lack of facilities and space.

Reduced Community programs in performing and communication arts due to lack

of facilities and space.

Due to the lack of space and facilities on campus the College cannot currently provide

various credit courses and instruction that students need to succeed in their chosen course



of study. Below is a list of various courses, programs and paths the College expects to

offer as a result of the proposed renovated and expanded Queen Anne building:

Theatre Performance and Foundation Track The Theatre Performance Track and Foundation Track were established in Fall 2007.

With the expansion and renovation of Queen Anne, the College will be in a position to

offer more extensive courses and new courses of study in the program. As part of the

College’s daily interaction with its students, the local community, four-year institutions,

and professional communities in the performance (music, dance, and theatre) fields the

College has clearly recognized the importance of expanding its courses to respond to the

needs of its students. As an example, at the recent Kennedy Center American College

Theatre Festival Region II, the College heard from four-year universities and colleges

that Prince George’s Community College’s theatre program lacks some of the skills

needed for students to transfer to their institutions and successfully compete with other

students. Lack of space and quality of facilities is the College’s biggest obstacle towards

student completion and success along the College’s performance track. Having a new

facility to accommodate the diverse needs of music, dance, and theatre would allow the

College to enhance all programs and fulfill the commitment to student success. Needed

degree programs such as Musical Theatre could then be added to satisfy the growing

interest and demands of students.

Within the Foundations Track, students have struggled with the lack of directing courses.

Students have expressed a desire to study the production aspects of theatre—not just

design, but house management, directing, producing, and playwriting. To date, the

College has not had the space, facilities, or programs in place to accommodate these

students. As a direct result, Prince George’s Community College students within the

Foundations Track are at a severe disadvantage when transferring to another institution.

To increase the success of the Theatre Performance Track, the following courses

should be offered. These courses would be taught in the new Queen Anne Academic

Center building.

Creation of a Dance Performance Major for the Theatre Program Curriculum

With over 100+ dance studios in Prince George’s County alone, students are surprised to

find that Prince George’s Community College does not offer a degree in dance

performance. Dynasty Dance, a student club on campus, has over 300 followers on

facebook and auditions 75 to 100 students each year. The club performs twice a year and

has partnered with several dance programs in the area. There is a demand for a dance

curriculum program, but no space on campus in which to rehearse, offer classes, or

perform.

With the renovated and expanded Queen Anne facility, these obstacles would be

eliminated with the creation of a Dance curriculum. Some of the new courses would

also fulfill the requirements of a Musical Theatre degree program. Students would need

to take dance and music classes in addition to theatre courses. Students would complete

the program with skills to transfer to any four-year university or college, or with the

ability and knowledge to teach at one of the 100+ dance schools in the area.

To introduce a Dance Curriculum to the College that will engage students and provide

needed instruction the College should offer the following courses:

Workforce Development and Continuing Education (WDCE) and Community

Outreach Operational & Service deficiencies

Due to the demands of credit programs, WDCE along with community course and

program offerings have suffered. Since Queen Anne contains no meeting spaces and few

instructional and rehearsal spaces, limited WDCE and Community programs have been

offered.

Community education is the cornerstone of Prince George’s Community College’s

continuing education mission which is: Enriching Lives. Building Community.

Celebrating Learning. PGCC Works!

College-wide community education offers a variety of noncredit cultural, educational,

practical, and inspirational programs and classes that offer community members a chance

to learn at a nominal cost. Year-round over 500 different courses, workshops, and special

programs are offered at more than 50 sites around the county. Of the college’s total

enrollment, more than 18,000 students enroll in noncredit continuing education courses.

With new facilities, WDCE could expand upon the few existing courses in Television,

Radio and Film (TRF), Communication, Music, and Theatre. New WDCE courses and

programs would be created for Dance, and non-performing and communication art

courses in Hospitality Management, and event planning could be expanded using

available flexible spaces and the Catering kitchen proposed and needed in the Queen

Anne building.

The College would like to develop an Artist-in-Residence program. The Artist-in-

Residence program would invite artists, academicians, curators, musicians, and all

manner of creative people for a time and space away from their usual environment. Art

residencies emphasize the importance of meaningful and multi-layered cultural exchange

and immersion into another culture. The program would allow individuals to explore

their practice within Prince George’s Community College’s creative environment. The

program would:

Encourage young artist to consider an academic future at Prince George’s

Community College.

Encourage older established artist to give back to Prince George’s Community

College.

Encourage and educate current Prince George’s Community College students.

As the world changes, workforce development and community outreach programs must

change to meet the demands of the changing business environment. To stay ahead of the

curve the College must ensure students leave the College with a competitive pool of

talent and specialized skills, knowledge, and experience. The Queen Anne Academic

Center will serve as the core of performing and communication arts education, linking

performing and communication academic programs with K-12 and University



Partnerships, Workforce Development and Continuing Education, and student services in

a more comprehensive way by providing education, employer partnerships, and

community outreach services.

7. Discuss how seriously the operational and service delivery deficiencies affect the

ability of the agency to attain its mission.

The operational and service delivery deficiencies of the current Queen Anne Fine Arts

building detrimentally impact the ability of the college to attain its stated mission, vision,

and strategic goals. The proposed solutions to these deficiencies are in Table 1B-6 on

page 62.



Table 1B-6: Service Delivery Deficiencies Impacting Mission and Proposed Program Solutions

Strategic Goal 2011-2013 Service Delivery Deficiency Proposed Solution

Respond to and anticipate the

learning needs of a diverse student

population by creating and

expanding educational

opportunities and support

services.

Inadequate building space

and facilities specifically

prohibit the expansion of the

Music, Radio, Speech,

Television, Film, Theatre

Programs, and the creation

of a Dance Program.

The proposed renovation would accommodate the expansion

and creation of stated programs and corresponding support

services to provide essential educational opportunities for

students.

Secure mission-compatible

alternative funding, build

mutually beneficial partnerships,

and strategically allocate financial

resources.

The aging facility makes it

difficult to attract alternative

funding sources and build

and maintain partnerships

within the “arts”

community.

The College will continue to seek external funding, including

grants, to expand and enhance fine arts programming and

support services. The creation of state-of-the-art facilities will

enable the College to meet this strategic goal.

Create and expand technology-

based educational offerings,

support services, and professional

development opportunities.

The existing infrastructure

and presence of asbestos and

mold do not support current

requirements for

technology-based

instructional spaces and

prohibits the selection of

appropriate theater choices

for production. Professional

development opportunities

for faculty and staff are

limited to the use of

outdated equipment and

resources.

Through the proposed renovation plan, the College will be able

to offer technology-based programs and enhance support

services that facilitate student completion, transfer, and

employability. Additionally, pertinent professional

development opportunities will be available for faculty and

staff.



8. Use historical data to show how the magnitude of the operational and service

delivery deficiencies has changed in the recent past, and projections to show how it

is expected to change in the future.

Analysis of current and projected space deficiencies are developed from the State of

Maryland’s planning guidelines for higher education. As shown in Table 1A.2-2 on page

21 the College currently has deficits in the following spaces:

Classroom: 3,084 NASF

Classroom labs: 40,149 NASF

Office space: 28,950

Study space: 15,334

This proposed Queen Anne Academic Center program specifically addresses these

deficiencies by adding needed Theatre, Communication, Television, Radio and Film

(TRF), Public Relations and Journalism, Music, and Dance space. Table 1B-7 indicates

the proposed Queen Anne Academic Center Renovation and Addition spaces by HEGIS

code. New state-of-the-art instructional teaching and learning spaces will aid the College

in reaching key strategic goals previously stated such as responding to and anticipating

the learning needs of a diverse student population by creating and expanding educational

opportunities and support services. New facilities will likewise create and expand

technology-based educational offerings, support services, and professional development

opportunities.

The current needs were based off of the FY13 (2010 – 2010) CIP Table 2. Ten-year surplus and deficit numbers reflect constructing

the proposed Queen Anne Academic Center. Based on the expanded Queen Anne Academic Center scope, the ten year surplus and

deficits vary from the submitted FY13 CIP table.



The forty-five year old, 22,852 NASF Queen Anne building was not built to handle current and

projected demands and requirements of performance and communication arts academic programs

and needs. Operational and service delivery deficiencies continue to grow as the current

building ages, technology changes, and the industries students are preparing to enter into evolve.

Instructional facility problems and deficiencies are presented in Tables 1B-9 to 1B-29 to show

the magnitude of facility operational and service delivery. Without an extensive renovation and

addition the below problems and deficiencies cannot be corrected

respectively

Current Use of Room: Stage House Trap Room/ Costume Shop/Costume Ship Office/ Storage/Fitting Room –

This area is located under the stage deck in the basement of the Queen Anne Building stage house. The costume

shop was an afterthought added to the space. The original intent of this type of space is intended for the storage of

various types of stage equipment. Part of the trap room is also the Orchestra pit. The pit portion of the space uses

a raised scaffold pit cover kit to cover the apron portion of the stage deck.

Room

Problems:

The addition of a costume shop and its present configuration of curtain walls comprise the original

intent of the space.

Room

Problems:

The manual pit cover kit prevents easy access to what should be a viable storage area. Typically a

hydraulically operated pit cover system is used to allow timely movement and relocation of stage

deck equipment to the trap room area for storage.

Room

Problems:

The basement space lacks heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). The space has poor air

quality, mold issues, which prevents the space from being used as more than a storage room. The

majority of clothes and articles stored in the room are often damaged due to the lack of conditioning

and ventilation in the space, and the Costume Shop office cannot be used since the space is not

conditioned.

Room

Problems:

The room only has on point of egress and is not ADA accessible.

Proposed

Solution:

Correct existing Costume shop deficiencies by building an actual space specifically designed as a

Costume shop and instructional lab. The shop will have proper HVAC, storage space, instructional

space, office space, and creative work/design space. The room will be separated from the current

Stage House Trap room.




Theatre Arts - Current Instructional Space

Building: Queen Anne Room Number: #105 NASF: 964

Current Use of Room: Scenery Construction Shop and Stage Wagon House - Used for the construction of scenery

and to teach the practicum portion of technical theatre courses. Additionally, it is used for stage equipment storage

and tools for the stage house. It also serves as the only practical access for the loading and unloading of equipment

used on stage and or for performance/events. In general the space was not designed as a scenery construction shop

and falls well short of OSHA standards as related to similar shop spaces.

Room

Problems:

Room is too small. Scenery Construction shops by design should have 1-1/2 to 2 times the square

footage of floor space of the stage house. This facilitates the tools and equipment used for the stage

house, scenery construction and preliminary set up of the items constructed. Additional space is

required for the storage of materials and equipment related to the stage house and scenery shop

operations.

Room

Problems:

The room is not properly wired. The electrical wiring in this space does not facilitate the proper

operational requirements of a scenery construction shop and tactile instructional needs required as

referenced above.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate ventilation/dust and particle collection systems. The ventilation and

dust/particle collection systems of this space fall far short of current building code requirements

related to these types of spaces and their intended usage. For example: dust collection as related to

all powers tools both stationary and portable or particle collection as related to any and all paint or

coating applications.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate lighting. The current lighting system in this space does not meet current code

requirements for the type of work and instruction being performed in the space.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate flooring for the intended application. The preferred flooring for this type of

space is a wooden decked floor with a sub-floor of concrete. This flooring is typically a ¾” – 1-1/2”

thick plywood finished floor, which facilitates the set up of constructed units while providing a

surface that is less stressful on the students’ and workers’ feet, since the vast majority of the work is

performed while standing. While a concrete floor exists for the majority of the space, it also has a

partially wooden decked area (Wagon House) and tiled floor area formerly used as a classroom and

office area. The tiles are of an asbestos-based composition and need to be removed and replaced.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate compressed air or pneumatic air system distribution and compressor location.

Although the room does have a retro-fit pneumatics’ air distribution system, it is an after built

addition with insufficient sound proofing, drying, and vibration dampening systems in place.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate wet facilities. Scenery construction shops require wet facilities for the set up,

application, and clean up of paint and coating materials. Presently there is only one utility sink.

Scenery construction includes the application of paint and or material coatings. At a minimum there

should be a double basin utility sink with dual hot and cold water taps, and an industrial particulate

drain trap(s) (Paint Trap). Additional wet facilities not presently in place include an eye wash

station.



Table 1B-10 Continued: Operational and Instructional Facility Deficiencies



Current Use of Room: Scenery Construction Shop and Stage Wagon House - Used for the construction of scenery

and to teach the practicum portion of technical theatre courses. Additionally, it is used for stage equipment storage

and tools for the stage house. It also serves as the only practical access for the loading and unloading of equipment

used on stage and or for performance/events. In general the space was not designed as a scenery construction shop

and falls well short of OSHA standards as related to similar shop spaces.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate egress to stage house. Presently a temporary 2x4 stud and plywood wall with

double doors of the same construction exists. At a minimum there should be a fire rated door

system that allows egress to and from the stage house providing at least a 12’x 14’ or more opening.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate storage facilities. Presently there is not any secure storage for the many

portable tools and equipment items in this room. Separate secured storage areas are required for the

proper storage and maintenance of tools, parts and related equipment.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate IT and Com. Infrastructure. At a minimum a scenery construction shop

requires phones with visible ring alerts due to ambient noise of tool operation. Additionally, there is

not any Internet wiring or access for the computers used and associated with computer controlled

equipment and tools housed in the room. This is also required for instructional purposes.

Room

Problems:

Room lacks office space. Scenery construction shops have an associated office for the personnel

who manage and operate the space.

Proposed

Solution:

Correct existing Scene shop deficiencies by building a larger space specifically designed as a Scene

shop and instructional lab.




Television, Radio and Film (TRF) - Current Instructional Space


Current Use of Room: Speech Lab – used as a student meeting room

Room

Problems:

Room availability: this room is primarily a lab used to conduct speech classes. Students use the

room as a place to hold meetings when the room is not scheduled for classes. Since the room is used

often for speech classes, the free availability of the room is limited.

Room

Problems:

Furnishings: the room currently has student desks. It would be more conducive for meetings if

tables were used instead.

Room

Problems:

A/V equipment: the current projector in the room is old and sometimes not responsive. The audio

for the projector does not work. Currently audio is heard using small portable speakers connected to

the computer at the front of the room. This is not loud enough for people in the back to hear.

Room

Problems:

Lighting: the lighting in the room is dim and inadequate and does not provide zone control. When

trying to show a video, the rows of lights cannot be dimmed independently.

Proposed

Solution:

Provide meeting and study space in the building. Space should be designed and classified to present

both dedicated defined study/meeting room with flexible tables, and technology as well as informal

study areas dispersed in “pockets” of the building.




Television, Radio and Film (TRF) - Current Instructional Support Space


Current Use of Room: Speech Lab Technician office used as a temporary tech center to house video and audio

equipment, repair of equipment, and equipment checkout.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the room is actually an office for the Speech Lab Technician. As such, it is small

and narrow. The ceiling is low and the lighting is dim and inadequate.

Room

Problems:

Lack of storage space: currently the space only has room for two cabinets to hold equipment. All of

the equipment cannot fit into these two cabinets. As a result some equipment such as cameras and

some of the lights are able to be stored while other equipment such as tripods and other lighting kits

clutter the floors. Because of the lack of space there is not room for a workbench area to service and

repair equipment.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: there is no space for students to adequately test the equipment to make sure it works

before checking it out. The room can only hold a maximum of two-three people testing out

equipment.

Room

Problems:

Electrical outlets: since the room was not designed as an equipment lab, the room has limited

electrical outlets for charging batteries, or plugging in equipment to test.

Proposed

Solution:

Build a dedicated Tech Center and Engineering Room. this area would include a help desk counter

area with an access door to the back technician area, shelving and storage for equipment, gates in

front of the shelving, and a storefront gate in front of the entire help desk area to secure the

equipment. The area would be large enough for students to set up and test equipment before it is

checked out. There would also be additional electrical outlets available for the testing of equipment

and for charging of batteries, and other parts. The engineering room would include a workbench

area where the engineer could repair equipment.




Television, Radio and Film (TRF) - Current Instructional Support Space

Building: Queen Anne Room Number: #119, 119A, 119B NASF: 200, 120, 144 respectively

Current Use of Room: Theatre and Mass Communication Office Suite used as student tutor meeting space

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the office suite is designed for one secretary in the outer office, and two inner offices

for faculty. There is no real space for student tutors to meet or desk area for them to work. They are

forced to use a table in the corner of the outer office. The lack of space means all students are not

able to receive help.

Room

Problems: Lack of storage space: there is no storage area for the tutors to keep their belongings.

Room

Problems: Lack of Equipment: there is no computer workstation or online access for the tutors.

Room

Problems:

Location: the make-shift tutoring office is in a completely different building from the Radio Lab,

Editing Lab and Television studio (located in Accokeek Hall) to assist students. This presents

logistic issues as students have to transition between the two locations.

Proposed

Solution:

Provide a tutoring office space to meet the needs of the student and faculty tutors. This space should

be centrally located and close to the proposed TV studio and Editing and Radio labs to be built in

Queen Anne. The tutoring lab should include cabinets or shelves, bookcases, whiteboards, bulletin

boards, and computer workstations.





Building: Queen Anne Room Number: #120 & 120A NASF: 520 & 176 respectively

Current Use of Room: Men’s Dressing and Rest Room – Used as classroom/lab/and rehearsal space, meeting

space, reception area, and student lounge space. Additionally this room and space is used for the storage of

scenery and properties as related to the theatre areas productions, folding table and chairs, and both dry and cold

food storage. Used as a dressing room for the male participants of performances

Room

Problems:

Room has an inadequate number of “make-up” stations with antiquated lighting and electrical needs.

Each station ideally should have an appropriate mirror, station specific lighting with individual

control, counter space, 115v-120v outlet, and shelving for the stowing of personal items

Room

Problems:

Room should be outfitted with closet space and costume storage racks. Currently the room has no

closet space and portable costume storage racks are added during times of production which

consumes square footage thereby limiting the number of persons able to occupy the room.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate IT and Com. Infrastructure. The occupants of a dressing room should be

provided with both audio and visual feeds of the activity taking place on stage. Furthermore the

occupants need to be able to communicate with theatre personnel through theatrical specific

communication systems in order to receive and send instructions/information without the need to

leave the room.

Room

Problems:

Adjacent gender specific bathroom and shower facilities need to be expanded to meet ADA codes

and provide additional fixtures.

Proposed

Solution:

Provide new dressing room spaces which provide better functionality to support theatre art

academics and instruction. The new dressing room and rest room spaces will improve electric,

lighting, equipment, theatre communication tools, provide sufficient storage, and correct ADA

deficiencies. Dressing room spaces will be used to hold make-up classes as part of the Theatre arts

curriculum.





Building: Queen Anne Room Number: #121 & 121A NASF: 520 & 176 respectively

Current Use of Room: Women’s Dressing Room – Used as classroom/lab/and rehearsal space, meeting space,

reception area, and student lounge space. Additionally this room and space is used for the storage of scenery and

properties as related to the theatre areas productions, other uses include costume laundry facilities (washer and

dryer). Used as a dressing room for the female participants of performances

Room

Problems:

Room has an inadequate number of “make-up” stations with antiquated lighting & electrical needs.

Each station ideally should have an appropriate mirror, station specific lighting with individual

control, counter space, 115v-120v outlet, and shelving for the stowing of personal items

Room

Problems:

Room should be outfitted with closet space and costume storage racks. Currently the room has no

closet space and portable costume storage racks are added during times of production which

consumes square footage thereby limiting the number of persons able to occupy the room.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate IT and Com. Infrastructure. The occupants of a dressing room should be

provided with both audio and visual feeds of the activity taking place on stage. Furthermore the

occupants need to be able to communicate with theatre personnel through theatrical specific

communication systems in order to receive and send instructions/information without the need to

leave the room.

Room

Problems:

Adjacent gender specific bathroom and shower facilities need to be expanded to meet ADA Codes.

Room

Problems:

Laundry Facilities are an afterthought to the design and layout of the original specifications. These

facilities need to be relocated and have a dedicated area with proper wet facilities and ventilation for

the cleaning of garments.

Proposed

Solution:

Provide new dressing room spaces which provide better functionality to support theatre art

academics and instruction. The new dressing room and rest room spaces will improve electric,

lighting, equipment, theatre communication tools, provide sufficient storage, and correct ADA

deficiencies.





Building: Queen Anne Room Number: #125, 130, AUD2

(Hallam Theatre) NASF: 12,626

Current Use of Room: Hallam Theatre Stage Deck & House - This area houses the stage deck, fly loft, and

associated rigging, drapery, electrical audio and lighting distribution, and infrastructures related to stage

performance.

Room

Problems: The facility is over fifty years old and the stage deck/flooring is in need of replacement.

Room

Problems:

The facility does not have an integrated Audio Visual and communication control system

infrastructure with respect to appropriate break out/in panels at various key locations throughout the

facility. (Control Booths, Dressing Rooms, Stage Right and Left)

Room

Problems:

The Orchestra pit cover system is manually reconfigurable; therefore, reconfiguration is very labor

intensive and renders the associated trap room and storage space as an underutilized space.

Room

Problems:

Scenery Storage is presently on the second floor without any safe and reliable means to transfer

equipment between the two spaces. (No Elevator)

Room

Problems:

The Proscenium opening is of a letter box configuration. Three times wide as it is tall. This is out

of proportion with the typical live theatre performance space where the opening is in a 2:1 ratio of

width to height.

Room

Problems:

There are not enough properly placed anti-proscenium theatrical lighting positions for the given size

and dimensions of the stage. There is not an integrated video projection system. This is often

requested by facility clients.

Room

Problems:

The existing Audio and Acoustical Systems are not adequately designed or populated with enough

equipment for the intended purpose of the space. Although called the “Hallam Theatre” the space

as original built is a large auditorium, which lacks the design and performance characters of a true

theatre.

Room

Problems:

It lacks properly sized production support spaces for live performance operations. E.g. – Green

room, Scenery Shop, Electrics Shop, Accessible Trap Room, Accessible Costume Shop.

Room

Problems:

The audience and seating portion of the theatre is too large for a majority of the student plays and

performances.

Room

Problems:

Limited instructional usage. Since the Hallam Theatre is the only large lecture space on campus the

space is booked for non-instructional programs as well as outside groups, which limits the time it

can be utilized by academics and instruction.

Proposed

Solution:

Create new blackbox and proscenium instructional and performance spaces to provide better

academic course depth and experience. The spaces will be specifically designed with course

objectives in mind to allow students to immerse themselves fully into theatre art assignments and

gain experience in setting that replicate “real world” conditions. The addition of two new

instructional labs will allow additional class sections, courses, and provide students with enhanced

learning opportunities. The existing Hallam Theatre will then be primarily used for non-

instructional programs and to engage the community.






Current Use of Room: Classroom Space and Scenery/Properties Storage – The room is also used to house faculty

offices for the instructional theatre program, and to store stock scenery and properties as related to the theatre areas

productions.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate egress. The room is located on the 2nd

floor of the Queen Anne building with

only one set of steps to reach the space and no elevator. The space is not only ADA non-accessible,

but is also a fire hazard.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate instructional equipment and facilities. The space was built as a storage area,

but due to lack of classroom space in Queen Anne, the space is now used as the only

classroom/rehearsal space in Queen Anne.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate storage facilities and systems. As much of the space has to be used for

rehearsals and classroom space, available storage space has been reduced.

Room

Problems: Room has inadequate venation/HVAC as it was not designed to be a theatre arts classroom.

Room

Problems: Room has inadequate lighting as it was not designed to be a theatre arts classroom.

Room

Problems: Room has inadequate electrical as it was not designed to be a theatre arts classroom.

Room

Problems:

Room has inadequate sound proofing and acoustics as it was not designed to be a theatre arts

classroom.

Room

Problems:

With a lack of faculty offices in the building, faculty offices currently absorb part of the rehearsal

and instructional space. The building overall has inadequate office space.

Proposed

Solution:

Add new classrooms and theatre instructional labs to provide facilities for academic instruction.

The new blackbox and proscenium instructional and performing spaces will also be utilized to

provide academic instruction and rehearsal space.





Building: CAT 137 Room Number: #137 NASF: 801

Current Use of Room: Instructional classroom

Room

Problems:

Availability: this is a shared computer lab. The Television Radio Film (TRF) curriculum has to

share the scheduling of this room with other courses, both credit and non-credit courses offered by

Workforce Development.

Room

Problems:

Location: the classroom is in a different building from the Radio Lab and Television Studio (which

is located in Accokeek Hall). Classes require students to use and access resources in the Center for

Advanced Technology (CAT) classroom as well as lab and studio in Accokeek Hall. With both

facilities being separated a great portion of time is spent in transition between the two locations

which negatively impacts course instruction.

Proposed

Solution:

Provide a dedicated computer lab for the TRF sequence to use for both audio and video editing. The

space should be flexible to also allow for lab instruction. The lab should be located near the new

Television and Radio labs introduced into Queen Anne.





Building: Accokeek Hall Room Number: #300 NASF: 910

Current Use of Room: Television Studio; Radio News broadcasts

Room

Problems:

Availability: because this is the only television studio space on campus, it serves the needs of both

the television production courses and the Video Systems department. There is a large demand for

this space by both on-campus and outside interests, which limits overall access, and time available

for students to practice techniques outside of classroom hours.

Room

Problems:

Availability: there is a student news broadcast produced once a week as well as an Introduction to

Broadcast News course that utilizes a news set. The scheduling of the student news broadcast has to

compete with other productions scheduled in the studio.

Proposed

Solution:

Build a dedicated studio facility and control room in Queen Anne to be used for academic courses

such as the Introduction to Broadcast News. The space will allow additional class sections and

courses to be offered and allow students access to study and practice in the space outside of class

time.






Current Use of Room: Mac-based computer lab

Room

Problems:

Room Design & Size: Accokeek Hall Room 333 was renovated during the Accokeek Hall

renovation Capital Improvement Project (CIP). The room was designed and constructed to be a

faculty break room and lounge. Due to the need and program demands for a dedicated radio station

lab, and the lack of space on campus, the break room was converted January of 2012 to provide

educational lab space. The room still has break room cabinetry and plumbing fixtures which reduce

the amount of useable lab space.

Room

Problems:

Lack of Electric and Technology: since the room was designed as a break room it does not have

enough data/voice ports and electrical outlets. As a result numerous extension cords are used to

power the computers from wall outlets, which is not only unsightly, but more important it is a

dangerous safety hazard. There is no printer connection so instructors have to print to the Queen

Anne building then run across the campus quad to get back to class. The room does not have an

instructor lectern, projector, or projector screen.

Room

Problems:

Improper Conditioning: the room was not designed to cool the load of a computer lab. During

Spring, Fall and Summer months the space often is too warm, which affects student learning.

Room

Problems: Logistics: the lab is positioned on the 3

rd floor of Accokeek Hall away from Queen Anne.

Proposed

Solution:

Build a dedicated mac-based computer lab in Queen Anne to support the student demand. The room

would be built with necessary data/voice and electric connections and supply the proper amount of

conditioning.






Current Use of Room: Radio Production lab

Room

Problems:

Room Design and Size: Accokeek Hall Room 334 was renovated during the Accokeek Hall

renovation Capital Improvement Project (CIP). The room was designed and constructed to be a

shared faculty office. Due to the need and program demands for a production lab and the lack of

space on campus, faculty members were relocated and the room was converted in January of 2012 to

provide educational lab space. The room is configured in an “L” shape, which makes teaching in

the space difficult due to sight lines and space.

Room

Problems:

Lack of Electric and Technology: since the room was designed as an office it does not have enough

data/voice ports and electrical outlets. As a result extension cords are used to power Whisper Booth

computers. The room does not have an instructor lectern, projector, or projector screen.

Room

Problems:

Improper Conditioning: the room was not designed to cool the heat load of Whisper booths or hold

the quantity of people in the lab space. During Spring, Fall, and Summer months the space often is

too warm, which affects student learning.

Room

Problems: Logistics: the lab is positioned on the 3

rd floor of Accokeek Hall away from Queen Anne.

Proposed

Solution:

Build a radio production lab which can also be used by the Music Department in Queen Anne to

support student demand of both programs. The room would be built following radio/music design

standards and include all necessary equipment, data/voice outlets, and electric connections. The

room would be conditioned to support the use of the room.




Music Department - Current Instructional Space

Building: Marlboro Hall Room Number: #1016 NASF: 1140

Current Use of Room: Multimedia Lab – Used for music technology along with Art lecture and lab courses.

Room

Problems:

Shared space: the room is used for both music and art courses, which limits growth in music

program enrollment, and limits open lab opportunities for students. The music area needs a

dedicated lab for music technology courses and open lab hours.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Acoustics and Soundproofing: the room was not designed for music and high-fidelity

audio playback. The shape of the room, along with the ceiling tiles, and cinder block walls of the

space create uneven sound with frequencies that are either over-emphasized or completely lost. The

room lacks adequate soundproofing, and so sound travels to adjacent hallways and rooms.

Proposed

Solution:

A new, dedicated Music Technology lab, to allow for increased enrollment in music courses, and to

expand educational opportunities in emerging music technologies.






Current Use of Room: Music Theory Room – Used for all music theory courses and several Music 1210 Piano

classes.

Room

Problems:

Limited Space: the room is only 512 NASF and too small to provide needed space for pianos and

student workstations. The room can only fit fifteen piano workstations, arranged in rows that are

inconvenient for students and faculty. The room also includes an upright piano and fifteen standard

classroom desks. Due to the limited space, enrollment in all courses must be capped at fifteen, even

though demand often exceeds twenty.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the room does not have the needed electrical floor boxes to connect to each digital

piano workstation. As a result numerous extension cords are used to power the digital piano

workstations from wall outlets, which is not only unsightly, but more importantly it is dangerous and

a safety hazard.

Room

Problems: Lack of Technology: the room does not include an instructor lectern, needed lab computers or any

smart technology.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Acoustics and Soundproofing: the room was not designed for music. The shape of the

room, along with the ceiling tiles and cinder block walls of the space create uneven sound with

frequencies that are either over-emphasized or completely lost. The room lacks adequate

soundproofing as well so sound travels to adjacent hallway and music rooms making teaching and

practicing difficult.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Climate Control: the room was not designed to provide adequate temperature and

humidity control for music instruments. The upright piano must be in an environment with constant

temperature and humidity levels, to prevent it from being damaged and ultimately rendered

unusable.

Proposed

Solution:

A new, larger lab for Class Piano and Theory courses, with floor-mounted electrical outlets, a

lectern with smart technology, appropriate acoustical treatment, lighting, and climate control.





Building: Marlboro Hall Room Number: #1059, 1061, 1069 NASF: 168, 144, 180 respectively

Current Use of Room: Studios/Offices – Used for vocal and piano studio instruction as well as faculty offices

Room

Problems:

Limited Space: due to the lack of space on campus, rooms in Marlboro Hall formerly used to serve

as studios and practice rooms are currently being used now by other programs and departments. As

a result there is limited availability of practice spaces.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Acoustics and Soundproofing: the rooms were not fully designed for music. The rooms

lack adequate soundproofing and have unacceptable acoustics for music studios. Sound travels

from one studio to the next studio which is disruptive to students practicing, studying, and

performing.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Temperature Control: the rooms were not designed to provide adequate temperature and

humidity control for music studios. Instruments must have stable temperatures and humidity levels

to prevent them from being damaged and ultimately rendered unusable.

Room

Problems:

Lack of Needed Equipment: the room was not designed as a vocal or musical instrument studio so

the room is absent of needed recording and sound equipment necessary in true music studios.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Lighting: the lighting design of the room was not designed for music. The lighting is

poor and makes reading music difficult.

Proposed

Solution:

New studios will be designed and constructed exclusively for Applied Music instruction. The rooms

should have specifically designed acoustic and lighting properties. Some of the rooms should have

double-wide doors to accommodate grand pianos. The rooms should be climate control and provide

faculty office space.





Building: Marlboro Hall Room Number: #1062, 1063, 1064,

1091, 1092, 1094

NASF: 70, 80, 50, 99, 72 and 72

respectively

Current Use of Room: Practice Rooms – Used to allow students the opportunity to practice. Each room has an

upright piano.

Room

Problems:

Limited Space: there are only four practice rooms and when these are all in use, students are not

provided with practice facilities that are standard in any college Applied Music program.

Room

Problems: Limited Space: the rooms are too small.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Acoustics and Soundproofing: The rooms were not designed for music. The rooms lack

adequate soundproofing and have unacceptable acoustics for music practice rooms. Unwanted

sound travels outside into the hallway and adjacent rooms.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Temperature Control: the rooms were not designed to provide adequate temperature and

humidity control for music studios. In addition the rooms are located to close to exterior doors

which expose the pianos to extreme weather conditions. Pianos need stable temperatures and

humidity levels to prevent them from being damaged and ultimately destroyed.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Lighting: the lighting design of the room was not designed for music. The lighting is

poor and makes reading music difficult.

Proposed

Solution:

New, larger Practice Rooms for music students, with appropriate acoustical treatment and lighting,

and climate control.






Current Use of Room: Choir Room – Used for vocal ensemble rehearsals and several other music lecture courses.

The room includes a Baldwin grand piano and an upright piano.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the floor is terraced and the terraces are too narrow for practical use. Choir rooms

ideally should be flat which the ability to include risers if needed.

Room

Problems:

Limited Space: the room is only 1320 NASF which limits the size of vocal ensembles to small

groups of thirty or less.

Room

Problems:

Limited Space: the room lacks adequate space to store temporary chorale risers, choir robes and

jackets, and vocal scores.

Room

Problems:


room, along with the carpet, ceiling tiles, and cinder block walls of the space create uneven sound

with frequencies that are either over-emphasized or completely lost. The room lacks adequate

soundproofing, and so sound travels to adjacent hallways and rooms.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate lighting: the lighting in the room was not designed for music. The lighting is poor and

makes reading music difficult. The room has fluorescent ceiling lights which are either on or off

with no dimming or zone control.

Room

Problems:


humidity control for choral rooms. Pianos must have stable temperature and humidity levels to

prevent them from being damaged and ultimately rendered unusable.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the room is carpeted. A choir room should have a floor surface that allows

equipment to be moved easily.

Room

Problems: Lack of Technology: the room does not include an instructor lectern or smart technology.

Proposed

Solution:

A new, larger Choral Room, with a flat, hard floor, double-height ceiling, appropriate acoustical

treatment, lighting and climate control, lectern with smart technology, and appropriate storage.

Doors must be double-wide, to accommodate a grand piano.






Current Use of Room: Percussion/Instrumental Studio – Used to store most percussion instruments, including

three timpani, three marimbas, gong, bass, drum, drum set, and other instruments. Applied Music courses are

taught in the room and several adjunct instructors use the room as their office.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the room can only be accessed from inside room #1076 or #1070 as there is no direct

access from the hallway. Other classes or rehearsals are disturbed when students and faculty have to

access the room.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the door to adjoining room #1076 is at the top of the stairway, and opens onto the

top terrace in room #1076. This prevents large instruments from being wheeled directly from one

room to another.

Room

Problems:

Lack of Space: due to the lack of office space, adjunct faculty members utilize the room as office

space.

Room

Problems:

Lack of Space: the room does not allow for future growth. The room has no space for additional

instruments or teaching space.

Room

Problems:




Room

Problems:

Lack of Technology: the room does not include an instructor lectern or smart technology. As the

room was not designed originally as an office the room is not equipped with telephone or data drops

for faculty.

Proposed

Solution:

A new Percussion/Instrumental Studio, accessible to the hallway with a double-wide door, and

connected to the Band Room with a double-wide door. This room would have appropriate acoustical

treatment, lighting and climate control, an office desk, telephone, data drops, a computer, and secure

storage.






Current Use of Room: Band Room – Used for instrumental ensemble rehearsals and several other music lecture

courses. The room is also used for weekly student performances. The Band room includes a Baldwin grand piano;

an upright piano; a custom rack of audio equipment; twenty music stands; a conductor's podium; filing cabinets

filled with band scores; and more.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the floor is terraced and the terraces are too narrow making a majority of the room

unusable for band rehearsals. The piano and other large percussion instruments can be placed only

on the ground floor. The terraces, themselves, are too narrow to accommodate a student

instrumentalist with a music stand. Students are squeezed onto a small area on the main floor, while

the terraces sit unused. Students in wheelchairs can only access the limited main floor area. The

terraces greatly limit the use of the room, and dictate to instructors how their ensembles must be

positions. Band rooms ideally should be flat for maximum accessibility and flexibility.

Room

Problems:


room, along with the carpet, ceiling tiles, and cinder block walls of the space create uneven sound

with frequencies that are either over-emphasized or completely lost. The room lacks adequate

soundproofing, and so sound travels to adjacent hallways and music rooms.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate lighting: the lighting design of the room was not designed for music. The lighting is

poor and makes reading music difficult. The room has fluorescent ceiling lights which are either on

or off with no dimming or zone control.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the room is carpeted. A band room should have a floor surface that allows equipment

to be moved easily. Hygienic problems are also more frequent in music rooms with carpeted rooms

versus wood or tiled floors since instruments such as the wind instrument are prone to discharge

hygienic matter that needs to be cleaned by Environmental Services.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: the Band room is oblong in shape, which is not optimal for band rehearsals or

lectures. Ideally the room should be closer to a square allowing maximum accessibility and

flexibility.

Room

Problems:

Room Design: The room’s entrance is on the main floor, between the terraces so that when people

enter they walk directly “onstage”. Entrances should be at the back of the room. The presence of

the terraces force the use of the main floor as the stage area for lectures and performances.

Room

Problems:

Insufficient Storage: The adjoining percussion room (#1055) is used for storing most of the

percussion instruments, but the door room #1055 is on the top terrace. Large percussion

instruments cannot be wheeled from one room to the other because of the terraces. These

instruments must be wheeled through another room, disturbing other classes.

Proposed

Solution:

A new, larger Band Room with a flat, hard floor, double-height ceiling, appropriate acoustical

treatment, lighting, and climate control, lectern with smart technology, and appropriate storage.

This new Band Room would have direct, unobstructed access to the Percussion Room. All doors

must be double-wide, to accommodate grand pianos and other large instruments.






Current Use of Room: Grand Piano Lab/Office – Used as a studio for Applied Music piano lessons and small

recitals, also as storage for grand pianos, and a place for a piano technician to service the grand pianos. This room

is also used as an office for adjunct instructors.

Room

Problems:

Limited Space: due to the lack of space on campus, this room in Marlboro Hall formerly served as a

piano studio and practice room for advanced piano students. Other offices that were formerly used

by music faculty are now used by other departments and programs. As a result instructors now must

use this room as office space, and often interrupt Applied Music courses to access materials.

Room

Problems:

Inappropriate Shape: room has an “L” shape, but should be rectangular. Moving grand pianos in

and out of this room is difficult because of the odd shape. In small recitals settings, some students

have obstructed views.

Room

Problems:

Inadequate Acoustics and Soundproofing: the room was not designed for music. The room lacks

adequate soundproofing and has unacceptable acoustics for a music studio.

Room

Problems:




Proposed

Solution:

New Grand Piano Lab used exclusively for Applied Music courses and secure storage for pianos,

not doubling as offices. This new room would be rectangular, with double-wide doors to

accommodate grand pianos, appropriate acoustical treatment, lighting and climate control, an office

desk, telephone, data drops, and a computer.



SECTION 1C - PROJECT SCOPE

1. Provide floor plans for the building:

(See Subsection 2G.4, Page 316 to 318)

2. Describe each major function or service currently housed in the building. Indicate

whether any of these entities will cease to function or will be permanently moved to

another building as a byproduct of the renovation. Describe any new function or

service that will move into the building, either to replace an existing entity or to

occupy an addition to the building if one is proposed.

The current Queen Anne building has only 22,852 NASF of space and contains only the

Communication and Theatre department. The basement contains 1,616 NASF of space

and is used primarily for costume storage and fitting rooms. Faculty offices are currently

located on the first and second floors of the building. The building does not contain any

formal classrooms and there is only one lab at 699 NASF. The 800 seat Hallam Theatre

and Stage take up 12,626 NASF of the 17,461 NASF first floor total. The remaining first

floor space contains the scene shop, men and women’s dressing rooms, box office and

fourteen faculty office spaces. The second floor contains 3,775 NASF which is

comprised of six faculty offices and theatre storage.

Functions and Services Currently Housed in Queen Anne

The Communication and Theatre Department consists of five degree programs:

Communication, Theatre Performance, Theatre Foundation, Television Radio and Film

(TRF), and Public Relations and Journalism. There are also two certificate programs:

Theatre Entertainment Technology and Media Production.

Communication Program: The Communication program actively prepares students who

plan to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Communication/Speech. The program of study

provides the foundation for upper level classes at four-year institutions. The program

also prepares students for the workplace in dealing with conflict, negotiation, cultural

communication, and mediated communication. Students gain skills in effective

communication in the workplace.

Theatre Performance: The Theatre Performance Track of the Theatre Arts Option

prepares students who plan to pursue a Bachelor’s of Fine Art degree at a four year

college, university, or conservatory program. Student will engage in courses that expand

their skills and knowledge in script analysis, production, technical theatre and

performance. Students will prepare for auditions at area theatres and gain an

understanding of the professional business of performance.

Theatre Foundation: The Theatre Foundation Track of the Theatre Arts Option prepares

students who plan to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Theatre history, Theatre education or

Foundations of Theatre at a four-year college, university, or conservatory. Students will

gain an understanding of production, history, and the foundations of theatre.



Television, Radio and Film (TRF): The Mass Communication Option prepares students

for career positions in film, television, video, radio, and other digital and mass media

industries. Most students who complete this program transfer to four-year colleges and

universities to earn a Bachelor’s degree in one of a wide range of communications and

media programs.

Public Relations and Journalism: The Public Relations and Journalism program

prepares students planning to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in journalism or public

relations. Students will gain the skills necessary to pursue employment in the field by

communicating with diverse audiences, executing public relations plans, and working

with supporting organizations and individuals.

Theatre and Entertainment Technology (TET): The Theatre and Entertainment

Technology Certificate is a cooperative venture between Prince George’s Community

College and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees in Washington,

D.C. The program provides students with specialized skills needed to attain employment

in the entertainment technology field. Those newly trained technicians can work at a

variety of venues in the greater Washington, D.C., area.

Media Production: The Media Production Certificate prepares students to utilize current

technology to produce, shoot, and edit video and multimedia productions. It is geared

toward people who may need to gain production skills for their current position or those

pursuing a career change. Students will gain technical knowledge and training with a

background in mass media history and trends.

3. Identify the non-spatial changes to be made to the existing building. Describe the

condition of the building’s architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and

telecommunication systems. Indicate how each of those systems are to be upgraded.

Evaluate the HVAC system and discuss how it should be made more energy-

efficient. If any addition to the building is proposed, discuss how the building

systems of the old and new structures might be integrated:

The building’s architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, and telecommunication

systems will be upgraded during this renovation and addition. It is anticipated that the

mechanical, electrical, and telecommunication building systems for the renovated section

of the building and the addition will be integrated to provide cohesiveness. The following

upgrades are anticipated in the areas noted:

Architectural/Structural:

The exterior walls of Queen Anne are finished with brick masonry. The soffits and

freestanding vertical columns are clad with an exterior insulation and finish system

(EIFS). The appearance of the exterior EIFS columns are not only outdated, but also

need repair due to impact damage and general wear and tear over the years. Queen Anne



was one of the first buildings constructed at the Largo campus and is currently over forty-

five years of age. During the past forty-five years no major exterior renovation or

improvement work has been completed. Throughout the entire campus EIFS is only used

in the design of Queen Anne, which architecturally negatively isolates Queen Anne from

all buildings on campus.

The proposed plan is to design a new exterior façade that will blend in architecturally

with the surrounding brick buildings such as Bladen Hall and Marlboro Hall as well as

the new and modern metal panel and glass buildings such as the Center for Advanced

Technology and the Center for Health Studies buildings. The existing front entryway and

overhang area of Queen Anne will require a redesign to make better use of this space.

The area around the entire perimeter of the building is very dark at night and presents a

security risk for students and employees. A new design will be required that will more

prominently denote the front entrance to the building and provide creative lighting to

encourage and welcome visitors, students, and faculty into the building.

The exterior brickwork of Queen Anne appears to be structurally sound; however, there

are brick mortar joints which will minimally require repointing. Queen Anne was

originally constructed without brickwork expansion joints to accommodate differential

thermal movements in the masonry as it relates to the support structure.

Structural improvement work will be needed. Structural stability is compromised at the

stage fly gallery walls and areas related to the proscenium arch and mechanical

penthouse. The concrete masonry envelope enclosing the stage house has cracks on all

levels from the basement up to the roof level. Vertical and diagonal cracks are present

along the columns and beams supporting the proscenium arch, the stage fly system, and

mechanical penthouse. Horizontal masonry joint separation exists in the restrooms off

the lobby of the Hallam Theatre. An inspection of the entire exterior brick masonry

structure and interior structural system by a licensed structural engineer will be required

to ensure that the structural integrity of building components has not been comprised

similar to many of the other older buildings on campus.

Electrical:

The existing medium voltage switchboards will require replacement primarily due to

their age. The existing switchgear is approximately forty-five years old, contains Federal

Pacific circuit breakers, which are no longer manufactured and has become unreliable. A

majority of the building’s electrical panels also contain Federal Pacific circuit breakers,

which are no longer available. The current switchgear is being removed as part of the

Upgrade Campus Electrical and Communications Duct Banks project. The replacement

switchgear may possibly be reused to supply power to the newly renovated and expanded

building. Due to the size of the expansion it is expected, however, that the new

switchgear will not possess sufficient capacity to handle the building without adding

additional equipment. The emergency generator which supplies emergency backup

power to the building is located at the Bladen Hall utility yard.



The lighting within the building requires replacement because it is not energy efficient

and will require new fixtures and controls. As discussed, presently the building is

equipped with a combination of T12 fluorescent light fixtures, incandescent fixtures, and

compact fluorescent (CFL) lamps. The Hallam Theatre is equipped with recessed

canister-type lighting and the stage is equipped with “PAR” track-type stage lighting and

lighting controls. The fire alarm system will also require replacement due to its age and

new code requirements. The fire protection system consists of a limited wet-pipe

sprinkler system at the stage, in the communication room #103, and fire hose cabinets in

the corridors, and hose connections in the stairwells. The building must be updated with

a new fire protection system throughout the entire building.

Mechanical:

The Queen Anne building is supplied with steam and chilled water from the central

system plant located at Bladen Hall. Steam supplies the HVAC systems and domestic

water heater. Heating and cooling are controlled by two air-handling units (9,000 &

18,000 CFM) which by the time of proposed construction will have reached or exceeded

their useful life. The mechanical systems are controlled from a building automation

system (BAS) by Siemens. A complete new HVAC system should be designed and

installed specifically for theatre, music, dance, radio and television broadcasts, and mix-

used classroom, lab, office, tutoring, and meeting spaces. HVAC equipment such as new

variable speed, air handling units with variable frequency drives, and VAV boxes with

reheat coils should be considered. In addition, a study should be conducted to determine

if the existing steam and chilled water being fed from the Bladen Hall Central Plant

should be abandoned in order to install a stand-alone HVAC system for Queen Anne.

Telecommunication System:

The existing building data infrastructure utilizes jacks wired to unshielded twisted-pair

(UTP) and fiber optic cable installed over the last twenty-plus years. Data cables are run

to free-standing cabinets that are too small for the number of the electronic devices

needed to support current technologies. These cabinets have been placed in the corners

of occupied office and control booth spaces, which do not provide adequate cooling or

security for the cable terminations or electronics. Infrastructure in the building does not

conform to the AMP NetConnect standard, which is applied to network installations in

other campus buildings. This constrains the bandwidth available for instructional and

performance-related purposes, and it prevents the college from gaining the benefits of the

twenty-five year parts and labor warranty on cabling and connections installed under the

AMP NetConnect certification program. The expansion and renovation of this facility

will greatly facilitate the proper location of spaces for network racks, switches, and

UPS's. It will also allow for the provisioning of wireless technologies and high-

bandwidth data services that are becoming standard for technology-based academic

environments.

Voice communications within the building are carried by digital handsets connected to a

centralized campus PBX. Wiring for telephones is lower-grade UTP or plain telephone

service (POTS) cable. In late 2012 the college will transition to a new VoIP unified

messaging system housed in the new Center for Health Studies building. The existing



Queen Anne telecommunications cabling will not support this advanced IP protocol-

based system. As part of the renovation the telecommunications systems for this building

will be integrated with the centralized VoIP system, using an enhanced CAT6 ethernet

data network. The switches and cable infrastructure will share the same fiber-optic

backbone, fiber connections, switch equipment, and uninterrupted power supply (UPS)

systems as the data network. Expanded messaging services (unified voice, email and

portable communications), tele-presence, and voice/video conferencing capabilities will

be much easier to install, maintain and support as the result of a proper, forward-thinking

infrastructure design and implementation.

The renovated and expanded Queen Anne building will include a significant number of

specialized spaces, including theaters, dance studios, rehearsal rooms, an art gallery, and

various teaching and learning spaces. Each of these spaces has unique and specialized

technology requirements that must be considered to properly instruct today’s students as

well as future students to come.

Systems and services that should be considered for the renovated Queen Anne Fine Arts

building include:

General Technology Upgrades

Controllers and access points for wireless personal computing devices.

High-definition video cameras for security monitoring, video conferencing,

distance learning, and lecture capture.

High-fidelity audio facilities for performance, backstage communications,

conferencing, in-room audio enhancement, distance learning, and lecture capture.

Video-based "smart technology" systems for instructor and student presentations

and interaction.

Touch-screen system control and presentation annotation systems.

Electronic door locks with server-based control and audit capabilities.

Video surveillance systems for physical security monitoring and recording.

Emergency alarm systems for instant security notification of incidents and

accidents.

Specific Performing Arts & Instructional Upgrades

Automated, programmable LED theatrical lighting with LED color changing.

Computer-based DMX 512 lighting control boards with touch panel control

interfaces.



Advance lighting control systems for rehearsal and lobby spaces.

LED video screens and scenic elements used in theatrical performance spaces.

High-definition LCD/LED projection systems designed specifically for highly

luminous on-stage graphics, animation, video, and lighting.

Automated tools and computer applications for theatrical scenery manipulation.

Integrated wireless communications systems for technical staff, talent,

instructional and performance support staff, and facility administration.

Plug-and-play multimedia and audio-visual systems for instructional support and

the public to use all instructional and learning theatrical, rehearsal, classroom, lab,

and meeting spaces.

Digital sound reinforcement and production equipment to support performance and

recording events. Systems should support the recording or enhancement of simple

sound effects, acoustical performances, or large-scale rock concerts.

Support for current and future computer tablet, smartphone, and other wireless

technologies used for the control of theater/performance equipment that

manipulates lighting, sound, and video.

High-definition displays for viewing performances and stage events in the lobby,

dressing rooms, backstage spaces, technical control rooms, and other public areas

in the facility.

Environmental support systems to allow for the safe use of special effects such as

hazers, fog generators, and snow machines.

The infrastructure needed to transmit audio and visual feeds to other on-campus

locations, such as the TV studio, large assembly spaces, lecture halls, meeting

rooms, and digital signage displays.

Hydraulic controls for the configuration and control of orchestra pit platforms,

equipment, and other physical surfaces.

Rigging and fly systems that utilize computer-based assistance systems and

automated controls.

Automated and computer-assisted tools for scene shop, set fabrication, prop and

costume shop production.



The instructional tools and other systems described above rely on the high-bandwidth

infrastructure and devices that cannot be properly installed given existing conditions

within the building.

Data and telecommunications transport services will require the implementation of a

fiber-optic and UTP cable based infrastructure (inside plant), and a connection to the

campus outside plant fiber-optic network. The campus-wide duct bank system delivers

multiple air-blown fiber (ABF) cable bundles into the existing room 113

telecommunications cabinet, which connects this facility to the new campus data center

by two redundant pathways. A new primary Main Telecom Closet will serve as the Main

Distribution Frame (MDF) room for Queen Anne. Two Intermediate Distribution Frame

(IDF) telecom closets will be located on the second and third floors, where network racks

and switch equipment will distribute the inside plant facilities to spaces, devices, and

users on those floors. The NASF for the main MDF closet (HEGIS 715) is

approximately 200. Each of the secondary IDF rooms has an NASF of approximately

125. The MDF and IDF's will require sufficient electrical power and air conditioning to

support multiple racks containing fiber and UTP switches, patch panels, Wi-Fi

controllers, door lock controllers, UPS's, and other network-connected devices.

Given the commonality of equipment used to support the various performance spaces

described, careful attention should be given to the location, proximity, and convenient

access to the MDF and IDF’s from these spaces. The MDF and IDF spaces will have no

full time occupants.

4a. For each of those functions, indicate how many users and staff are to be housed. If

not already provided under the Project Justification, include a five year history of

the number of users and staff and five-year and ten-year projections of those data

elements as they relate to the requested space. Cite the source of the data, whether

historical or future projections, and its methodological basis.

Music Department: Currently the Music area of the Art, Music and Philosophy

department is staffed by two full-time and thirteen part-time employees. This total

number of employees has increased by four from five years ago. Music faculty members

are charged with an unusually complex and diverse set of job duties. In addition to

regular teaching assignments and committee memberships, music faculty plan and

produce numerous public concerts and recitals each semester. Music faculty must

maintain a fleet of pianos and a variety of instruments and equipment, along with

specialized rehearsal rooms and labs. During Prince George’s Community College’s

Commencement Ceremony every May, music faculty duties also include planning and

perform the music for the ceremony.

Currently, the Music area is gravely understaffed, with only two full-time faculty

members. According to the Office of Planning, Assessment and Institutional Research,

enrollment in music courses has grown over the past five years. Semester credit hours in

Music grew from 566 in Fall 2006, to 801 in Fall 2011 (forty-two percent growth). While



adjunct instructors have been hired to increase course offerings, additional full-time

music faculty are necessary to meet the needs of an expanding program.

The Music Option curriculum was recently updated to include new and emerging

technologies. Four music technology courses were created to expand educational

opportunities for students studying music. With the expansion of the curriculum, music

faculty along with technology support services staff, built a music technology lab. While

the program has been expanded, it still has only two full-time faculty. The new Queen

Anne building will not only provide state-of-the-art music spaces, but in addition provide

needed faculty and staff office space.

Communication and Theatre Department: Currently the Theatre Program of the

Communication and Theatre Department is staffed by three full-time and two part-time

employees. These employees also serve the department as a whole by teaching multiple

disciplines when needed. In addition to regular teaching assignments and committee

memberships, theatre faculty design, direct, coach and stage manage four productions

each year. Theatre faculty mentor the student production company (The Hallam Players)

and must maintain the scene shop along with all equipment in the Hallam Theatre,

including lighting, sound, props, and scenery. Staff and faculty members for the Hallam

Theatre work with internal and external clients who rent or schedule the space for various

events. In a year, the staff and Theatre faculty will work nearly three hundred events in

the Hallam Theatre.

The Theatre Program is currently understaffed with only one faculty member completely

teaching theatre courses. Enrollment in theatre courses has increased and there is a need

to provide courses at the extension centers in order for students to have a choice for their

general education arts requirement. Adjunct faculty have been hired to assist with

program needs; however, additional full time theatre faculty are necessary to meet an

expanding program.

Mass Communication: Currently the Mass Communication area is staffed by two full-

time and two part-time employees. These faculty members also teach other disciplines

within the Communication and Theatre Department. The Mass Communication program

has seen tremendous growth in the past five years, yet the number of faculty and staff

devoted to the program has not increased. It has become increasingly difficult to staff

classes with adjuncts who are trained in the latest technological advances in mass

communication. Students are being underserved in this program as much of the

equipment used is outdated and the facilities cannot provide broadcasting range outside

the walls of the building in many cases. Not only are faculty teaching and serving on

committees, but the Student Media Group has been asked to assist with the marketing

efforts on the college’s behalf, by producing, filming, or broadcasting campus events.

With limited resources and only one faculty member teaching exclusively in this

discipline, it is difficult for students to take advantage of all the opportunities for hands

on training that might be available on and off campus.

Courses in Mass Communication are currently not offered at any of the extension centers,

though there have been numerous requests by students to make these courses available to

them. Without faculty and resources, it is impossible to meet the needs of these students.

Communication and Public Relations and Journalism: Currently the Communication

and Public Relations and Journalism area are staffed by thirteen full-time and twenty-two

part-time employees. The Public Relations and Journalism option became a degree

program in spring of 2010. The Communication program has been in existence since the

inception of the College. Though there are thirteen full time employees, only five

actually teach a full fifteen credit load. The other eight are in positions of leadership

and/or responsibility within the department. This has been a problem for the department

in recent years as the population of the College has grown. Finding and retaining

qualified faculty to teach within the Public Relations and Journalism option has been

difficult with the College’s limited facilities and the lack of available office space.

Communication and Public Relations and Journalism is an ever changing field, one that

requires mastery in the technological advances in the field, as well as an understanding of

the ever changing world of social media. This program has grown rapidly in the two

years since it was developed, and much of that has to do with demand for positions—

especially within the DC Metro area.

Operation of Current Instructional Theatre Space is via two full-time employees

(Supervisor of Theatre Operations and Coordinator of Theatre Operations). Due to the

need for instructional space and requirements of proposed course objects, the addition of

dynamic skilled professionals to teach students is critical. The proposed full-time



positions include: four technical directors (one for each theatre instructional space and

one to oversee them), two Assistant Technical Directors, two Scheduling Coordinators

and one assistant (secretary) position. There are also three house manager positions and

an assistant house manager that will be needed part-time.

Various faculty teach in all the disciplines so there is instructor overlap. Historical

information and future projections were obtained from Human Resources and the Liberal

Arts Departments.

4b.Where space is to be altered or added, indicate how much NASF is proposed for

each type of space (e.g., offices, classrooms, patient rooms). Indicate how many units

of each type and size of space are required, and the number of occupants in each

space. Institutions of higher education should list all spaces by HEGIS room use

code.

(Refer to Subsection 2A.2 starting on page 120)

4c. Describe how quantitative data was used to determine the amount of each type of

space. Indicate how the requested number of individual stations (e.g., offices, beds,

classroom seats) was determined, such as the number of people needing office space,

the number of people housed in a detention module, or the number of hours a

laboratory is to be used and the planned percentage of student station utilization. If

the State has space guidelines that apply to these calculations, reference them and

explain any deviations from them in the project.

The amount of each space was determined by first assessing the functions of all units

proposed to occupy the building after the renovation and addition. Each program was

then evaluated versus current and projected growth in enrollment, and specific Liberal

Arts needs. The resultant amount of space presented will position the Liberal Arts

division to meet key strategic goals and mirror the overall mission of the College, which

is to transform student lives. For all classrooms, labs, offices, and meeting spaces the

College evaluated its current and projected spaces versus current and project surpluses

and deficits. The College reviewed surplus and deficits using both the State CIP CC

tables and the College’s actual breakdown and use of spaces, employees, programs, and

services.



With the new Queen Anne Academic Center instructional delivery and design will

change, shifting from general lecture formats to studio and “hands on” labs that will

provide students with an enhanced learning environment.

4d. Indicate how the size of each space or each group of similar spaces was determined.

If the spaces are based on State or other space planning standards, cite the

appropriate source and explain any deviations from them in the project.

Due to the unique nature of many of the spaces in this program, along with Maryland

State space guidelines, consultant expertise and experience was also utilized. One such

consultant source was Wenger’s Version 3.0 planning guide that assisted with various

music and instructional performance spaces. In unison with State and consultant

guidelines the final NASF allocation was proposed based on a needs assessment for each

room and the functions that the room will be used to support.

Classrooms: classrooms were sized to provide approximately 25 NASF per

student. To provide sufficient space for viewing of instructional materials and to

allow space for instructor lecterns and a work desk, classrooms were sized

slightly above the State standard of 20 NASF.

Computer Labs: computer labs were sized to provide approximately 28 NASF per

student. A projector, projection screen, and instructor lectern will be provided in

all computer labs so the space can function as study space and instructional space.

Offices (Non-Music): offices were sized based on faculty/staff positions.

Administrative support offices were sized at 108 NASF, full-time faculty/staff at

125 NASF, Program Director offices at 145 NASF, and Director officers were

sized at 175 NASF.

Offices (Music): music offices or studios used to instruct students were sized

larger to provide room for instruments such as pianos. Music studios were sized

at 225 NASF to provide adequate teaching and instruction space.

Open Adjunct Offices: the open adjunct office was sized at 60 NASF per person

to allow room for storage including filing cabinets and lockers. Additional space

of 20 NASF per person was then added for study/meeting space located in the

room.

Dual Use Offices: dual use offices were sized the same as a full-time faculty/staff

office at 125 NASF per person plus an additional workstation at 70 NASF per

person. If additional furniture such as a meeting table is placed in the room,

additional space is provided.

Conference Rooms: conference rooms were sized at 22 NASF per person.



Workrooms: administrative workrooms provide counter work space for copiers

and fax machines, mail, storage and faculty/staff work space. Workrooms were

sized between 175 NASF and 200 NASF per room depending on the number of

faculty expected to use the space.

Hallam Theatre, Blackbox and Proscenium Performance Labs: 10 NASF/seat,

plus 15 NASF per stage performer.

Art Gallery: 25 NASF per person.

Band and Choral Rooms: rooms designed for choral music are recommended to

have a minimum of 1,800 NASF and 28,800 cubic feet of volume, regardless of

group size. Band rooms are recommended to be minimum of 25,000 NASR and

45,000 cubic feet of volume.

Instruction Lab Sizes for Spaces Including (but not limited to): percussion, dance,

grand piano, make-up, costume, scene, and TET labs all required specific analysis

to identify equipment, furniture, and student use of the space prior to

recommending the proposed space sizes.

Technology spaces for the network and telecommunications infrastructure were

based on the minimum requirements for the types and numbers of pieces of

equipment (data racks, UPS's, fiber/cable terminations) to be installed.

Sizes of all assignable spaces were added together to obtain the total net assignable

square feet (NASF). To obtain the total gross square feet (GSF) of the building various

factors were considered.

According to Appendix B – Building Efficiency Factors of the Facility Program manual

of the State of Maryland, September 2003, the following efficiency factory ranges were

given: 1.75 – 1.95 (Performing Arts), 1.45 -1.60 (Theatre/Concert Hall), 1.65-1.85

(Classroom) and 1.67-1.82 (Office). The proposed Queen Anne Academic Center is a

unique building which contains theatre, performing art, classroom, lab, office and flexible

space. The building was analyzed by the College along with consultants to determine a

gross/net efficiency rate of 1.73 was appropriate.

Non-assignable spaces include:

Mechanical equipment rooms, duct shafts, and plumbing chases

Men’s and Women’s public restrooms on each floor

Electrical closets and service rooms

Vestibules, lobby space, public corridors, secondary circulation paths between

spaces



Elevator and elevator machine rooms

Stairwells

4e. If any part of the building is to be excluded from spatial changes, define the portion

to be excluded precisely and indicate its location on the floor plan:

As part of the renovation work, it is expected that the entire Queen Anne building will be

renovated.

4f. If the project includes a building addition, specify on what side the addition will be

placed and whether the addition will abut the existing building or be connected by

one or more walkways:

It is anticipated the new addition will extend south, west, and southwest of the existing

building. (See Subsection 2G.3 on Page 315 and Refer to the Expansion Plan). The

addition will abut the existing building. The new addition will comply with existing

campus architecture.

5. Describe any features of the project that might make it more expensive than

comparable projects, such as unique items of built-in equipment or non-standard

information technology equipment.

The nature of academic centers dedicated to performing arts require interior finishes,

equipment, acoustics, environmental controls for temperature and humidity, and

additional design elements that result in a higher cost per square foot when compared to

standard office and classroom buildings.

6. Describe any site improvements included in the project, such as grading, roads,

parking, sidewalks, exterior lighting, and landscaping. Quantify to the extent

possible. If parking is involved, state the number of spaces and the justification for

that number:

The operations of the Theatre and Music areas require use of a loading dock for

deliveries. The loading dock and associated service road will need to be accessed off the

College’s inner loop to accommodate full-sized tractor trailers and other deliveries. The

project calls for a substantial addition toward the Center for Health Studies building to

the southwest and parking lot K to the south. Due to the size of the building expansion

parking lot K may or may not be lost to building real estate. New pedestrian and

vehicular egress to the building should be provided. It is anticipated that site civil work

associated with asphalt removal, landscaping removal, excavation, new footers,

sidewalks, and foundations work will be needed. To maintain campus green space and

landscaping, the project should include the addition of landscaping around Queen Anne.

New exterior lighting should also be investigated particularly as it pertains to the loading

dock and building entrances.



7. Describe the presence and condition of utilities on the site. Note whether any

utilities will have to be removed, relocated, or extended to the site. If extension of

any utility is needed, estimate the length involved:

Existing underground utilities on site include fiber optic cables, sanitary sewer, storm

sewer, domestic water, steam piping, chilled water, telephone cables, and electric power

lines. Due to the expansion of Queen Anne additional extension and expansion of

utilities may be required.

8. If intended occupants of the new building are currently housed in space in another

building or buildings, provided the location and description of that space. If the

space is rented, state whether or not the agency will continue to lease it for other

uses, and if so, describe those uses. If the space is State-owned, describe in detail its

intended future use. If the space is to be demolished, so note.

The Music area of Art, Music, and Philosophy department is located on the first floor of

Marlboro Hall (MH). The Music spaces accounts for approximately 7,688 NASF, and

occupy MH rooms 1016, 1055, 1043, 1058/1060, 1059, 1061, 1062, 1063, 1064, 1067,

1068, 1069, 1070, 1075, 1076, 1079, 1091, 1092, and 1094. Marlboro Hall is comprised

largely of Liberal Arts, Social Sciences and Business, and STEM (Science Technology

Engineering and Mathematics) Divisions. With the relocation of the Music area to Queen

Anne, needed space within Marlboro Hall can be given to Liberal Arts Departments such

as Art, which is now divided between Marlboro Hall and Center for Advanced

Technology.

The Radio Station is located on the third floor of Accokeek Hall (AH). The Radio

Station uses Accokeek Hall room 333 as a Mac-based computer classroom, and

Accokeek Hall room 334 as a radio production lab. The total NASF of both rooms is

1177 NASF. Both spaces will be turned back over to existing third floor staff and

faculty.

Backfill/Intended Use of Vacated Spaces

All the spaces vacated as a direct result of functions moving to Queen Anne will be

backfilled. Figure 1C-1 on page 105 illustrates the proposed backfills. Table 1C-7 on

page 106 shows by HEGIS code all spaces on campus that will need to be backfilled as

building occupants relocate to the renovated and expanded Queen Anne Academic

Center.

9. Indicate whether current occupants of the building will remain during renovation

or will be relocated. Provide details, including temporary location during the

project and whether any capital improvements will be needed at that location.

Current occupants must be relocated prior to the start of the renovation and addition due

to the degree of demolition and construction required. As part of the renovation and

addition, it is anticipated that the building occupants will need to relocate to temporary

space while the building is under renovation/construction.

The Communication and Theatre department currently have only one lab space in Queen

Anne, which is the TV Speech Lab. The TV Speech Lab would have to be recreated in

another space temporarily. All classrooms used by Communication and Theatre

department would maintain their current locations scattered around campus in Marlboro

Hall, Bladen Hall, Center for Advanced Technology, Accokeek Hall, and the Continuing

Education Building.

The Theatre Program and instruction of students will be most impacted during the

renovation. The Theatre Program produces three to four productions a year utilizing the

Queen Anne Hallam Theatre stage along with storage space on the second floor. To

support the renovation and addition of Queen Anne, the College has already discussed

options to temporarily adjust courses and programs away from Queen Anne. As an

example, Dinner Theatre productions and small plays using Largo Student Center

Community Rooms, and/or perhaps outdoor plays could be utilized.

Using Largo Student Center would be only short-term, as using Largo while renovating

Queen Anne would require priority scheduling for the Theatre area and put a heavy strain



on scheduling of these spaces. Largo Student Center Community rooms are used both by

the campus community and the community at large during an academic year.

SECTION 1D – PROJECT ALTERATIVES & MISC REQUIRMENTS

Subsection 1D.1 – PROJECT ALTERNATIVES/OPERATING IMPACT/INCLUSION IN

MASTER PLAN

1. Identify alternatives to the proposed projects, both capital and non-capital, and

perform a comparative analysis of each, describing their budgetary impact and the

degree to which they address the previously identified operational and service

deficiencies. Include the proposed project in the analysis.

Proposed Solution: CAPITAL: Renovate 22,852 NASF of space in the Queen Anne

building and add an additional 75,321 NASF of space. The proposed solution will

replace deteriorated building infrastructure components, correct extensive ADA issues,

modernize finishes and equipment, provide for a new Dance major in the Theatre

curriculum, and drastically expand, improve, and transform the curriculums of Music,

Theatre, Speech, and Television, Radio, and Film on campus.

ANALYSIS 1:

Alternative 1): CAPITAL: Demolish or implode Queen Anne and then construct a new

98,173 NASF, 170,000 GSF facility in the current and adjacent space.

Advantages of Alternative 1:

Greater Design Flexibility: Demolishing the building would allow for

maximum design flexibility. The large 800-seat Hallam Theatre could be

relocated or reoriented to provide the design architect greater options in the

overall layout of the building.

Deliverables common to the Proposed Solution

Correct Infrastructure Issues: Alternative 1 would correct ADA issues,

deteriorating infrastructure systems, heating, cooling, humidity, and space

issues caused by a building presently undersized to meet the growing needs

and demands of all performance and communication courses, programs, and

operations.

Increased Student learning experience (due to increased space): Students

would be offered a larger selection of courses and programs due to the overall

expansion and development of curriculums in Music, Dance, Theatre, Speech,

and TRF. The expansion of programs and courses would offer Prince

George’s Community College students needed experience and learning

opportunities. With the depth of course instruction, students would graduate

the College on the right track to success in their chosen profession.



Increased learning experience (due to improved facilities): The new Queen

Anne facility would provide students, the overall campus, and even the

regional community with an appropriate mix of specifically engineered

learning classrooms, labs, and performance spaces that will contribute to the

quality of academic and culture life at the College.

Student study and tutoring space in Queen Anne: The current Queen Anne

building has no study or tutoring space in the building. The new Queen Anne

building would allow students dedicated study and tutoring space needed to

apply their newfound knowledge.

Consolidation of Areas: Consolidation of all programs in Communication

and Theatre and Music (Music, Theatre, Dance, Speech, and TRF) would be

achieved.

Increased Faculty and Staff support: With an increase in faculty and staff

offices, new faculty and staff can be hired to instruct students and provide

needed new sections and courses.

Disadvantages of Alternative 1:

Increased construction cost primarily due to the efforts associated with

demolition of the entire existing structure and increased site and structure

costs over the existing footprint.

ANALYSIS 2:

Alternative 2): CAPITAL: Renovate the current 22,852 NASF Queen Anne building.

The proposed solution would replace deteriorated building infrastructure components,

correct extensive ADA issues, and modernize finishes and equipment.


Less Capital Cost Expense: The use of State of Maryland Capital

Improvement Project (CIP) dollars would be less since design, construction,

furniture, and equipment dollars would only be for 22,852 NASF.

Construction Period: The building would not be required to close for as

long of a construction period (estimated to be eighteen to twenty-four months

for the proposed solution). Instead the building would be closed down for

approximately twelve to fourteen months.


Continued Teaching & Learning Constraints (lack of physical &

specialized space): Without a renovation that adds considerable space to

Queen Anne, current course enrollments will continue to be capped and/or

reduced due to the lack of dedicated classroom and lab space needed. Needed

courses and programs such as Dance, Musical Theatre, and Advanced Radio



Production will not be able to be introduced. As a result, due to limited

course offerings and advanced instructional spaces, the College will continue

to lose students to other community colleges and four-year institutions.

Projected student retention decrease for students in Theatre Arts, TRF,

music and speech: Providing students with learning-centered spaces and one

central location allows them to engage in a multitude of services and programs

and meet their educational goals. Without a renovation courses and programs

would have to remain in locations dispersed around campus continuing to

educate students with an outdated model for success.

Continued lack of study & tutoring space: The current Queen Anne

building does not have any study or tutoring space in the building. Without

significantly expanding the building this issue will continue. As the campus

overall already has a deficit in student study and tutoring space, performance

and communication students will be negatively impacted by having no study

and tutoring space in Queen Anne. Commonly students often times now

study on the Hallam Theatre lobby floors or back hallways adjacent to the

faculty/staff office suite.

Faculty and Staff Freeze: Without additional office spaces to support new

faculty and staff the College cannot proceed with hiring new instructors to

teach and prepare students. If the College is unable to hire staff and faculty,

new courses and programs cannot be offered, which directly impacts student

success as well as retention and completion.

ANALYSIS 3:

Alternative 3): NON-CAPITAL: Change internal policies, practices, and teaching

methods to solve program problems.


No Capital Cost Expense: The use of State of Maryland Capital

Improvement Project (CIP) dollars would be avoided since design,

construction, furniture, and equipment dollars would not be required.

Construction Period: There would not be a major disruption to the current

Theatre Arts program as the building would not undergo a major renovation.


ADA non-compliance: Without a major renovation the building would

remain ADA non-compliant and provide limited to no access for individuals

with physical and/or mental disabilities and challenges. ADA access would

continue to be non-existent to a majority of the building including the stage,

control booth, scene shop, custom shop, dressing and fitting rooms,



classroom/lab, several offices, theatre practice space, and all storage spaces

within the building.

Significant College Expenditures (Infrastructure and Operating

Systems): Significant College operational dollars would need to be expended

to repair deteriorating infrastructure systems and provide adequate

conditioning in spaces without heat or cooling.

Continued Teaching & Learning Constraints (Lack of Physical and

Specialized Space): Without a renovation that adds considerable space to

Queen Anne, current course enrollments will continue to be capped and/or

reduced due to the lack of dedicated classroom and lab space needed. Needed

courses and programs such as Dance, Musical Theatre, and Advanced Radio

Production will not be introduced. As a result, due to limited course offerings

as well as advanced instructional spaces, the College will continue to lose

students to other community colleges and four-year institutions.

Projected Student Retention Decrease for Students in Theatre, TRF,

Music and Speech: Providing students with learning-centered spaces in one

central location allows them to engage in a multitude of services and programs

and meet their educational goals. Without a renovation courses and programs

would have to remain in locations dispersed around campus continuing to

educate students with an outdated model for success. This in turn will restrict

retention and completion.

Continued Lack of Study & Tutoring Space: The current Queen Anne

building does not have any study or tutoring space in the building. Without

significantly expanding the building this issue will continue. As the campus

overall already has a deficit in student study and tutoring space, performance

and communication students will be negatively impacted by having no study

and tutoring space in Queen Anne. Commonly students often times now

study on the Hallam Theatre lobby floors or back hallways adjacent to the

faculty/staff office suite.

Faculty and Staff Freeze: Without additional offices spaces to support new

faculty/staff, the College cannot proceed with hiring new instructors to teach

and prepare students. If the College is unable to hire staff and faculty new

courses and programs cannot be offered, which directly impacts student

success.

Significant College Expenditures (Finishes and Equipment): Significant

College operational dollars would need to be expended to replace and improve

existing finishes and equipment that have reached their useful life.



Summary of Alternatives:

Proposed Solution: Renovate 22,852 NASF of space in the Queen Anne building, and

add an additional 75,321 NASF of space. The proposed solution will replace deteriorated

building infrastructure components, correct extensive ADA issues, modernize finishes

and equipment, provide for a new Dance major in the Theatre curriculum, and drastically

expand, improve, and transform the curriculums of Music, Theatre, Speech, and

Television, Radio, and Film on campus. Transforming the outdated and undersized

Queen Anne building to a state-of-the-art instructional center for performing and

communication arts will create a synergy for students and faculty unprecedented in the

State of Maryland, the District of Columbia, and Northern Virginia.

Alternative 1): As a Capital Project, demolish or Implode Queen Anne and construct a

new 98,173 NASF, 170,000 GSF facility in the current and adjacent space.

Alternative 2): As a Capital Project, renovate the current 22,852 NASF Queen Anne

building only (no expansion).

Alternative 3): As a Non-Capital Project, change internal policies, practices and teaching

methods to solve program problems.

Feasibility Comparison of Alternatives:

Alternate 1: (Demolish and construct new building) is not recommended since the cost

to completely demolish Queen Anne and construct a new 98,173 NASF/170,000 GSF

building is estimated to be higher than renovating and adding on to the building as

proposed in this program.

Alternative 2: (Renovate existing building ONLY) is not feasible as it only corrects

infrastructure and ADA issues along with improving finish and overall building and

space aesthetics. Renovating the building and not increasing square footage fails to

provide increased instructional and functional performing and communication arts space

desperately absent in the building and on campus. Even with a renovation, instructional

delivery, including instructional technology and collaborative learning spaces cannot

advance given the space constrains of the existing building. Without adding extensively

to the existing NASF and providing new, modern, technologically sound learning and

teaching spaces the performing and communication arts programs would have to keep

their existing models for servicing and instructing students. Continuing to operate under

current conditions and remaining status quo would greatly impair the College’s mission

to educate, train and serve the student population. Due to limited course offerings as

well as advanced instructional spaces, retention will continue to suffer and the College

will continue to lose performing/communication art students to other community colleges

and four-year institutions.

Alternate 3: (Change internal policies, practices, and teaching methods to solve program

problems) is not feasible as it fails to correct the problems presented in this program.

There are no internal policies, practices, or teaching methods that can repair long

standing infrastructure problems, ADA issues and building aesthetics. Changing internal

policies, practices and teaching methods also does not solve the space problems and

limitations within Queen Anne, or the challenges faced with servicing students without

sufficient space. Without improving infrastructure, correcting ADA deficiencies and,

drastically improving the amount of space dedicated to the academic programs presented

in this program, changing of internal policies and teaching methods would not provide

learning spaces and resources students need to be successful.

Conclusion: The proposed solution to renovate and expand Queen Anne as listed and

defined throughout this Educational Specification is the recommended and preferred

option.

Proposed/Final Solution: Renovate 22,852 NASF/33,455 GSF of space in the Queen

Anne building, and add an additional 75,321 NASF/136,545 GSF of space. The

proposed solution will replace deteriorated building infrastructure components, correct

extensive ADA issues, modernize finishes and equipment, provide for a new Dance

major in the Theatre curriculum, and drastically expand, improve, and transform the

curriculums of Music, Theatre Arts, Speech, and Television, Radio, and Film on campus.

Transforming the outdated and undersized Queen Anne building to a state-of-the-art

instructional center for performing and communication arts will create a synergy for



students and faculty unprecedented in the State of Maryland, the District of Columbia,

and Northern Virginia.

10. Summarize why the agency believes the proposed project is the best alternative.

The most viable option for meeting the needs of the College is to renovate the existing

facility and build a sizeable Queen Anne addition to support performing and

communication arts. This option could potentially utilize and salvage parts of the

existing Hallam Theatre, keeping construction cost down, while still providing the

necessary new spaces needed. There is no other reasonable alternative to the proposed

project. The condition and age of the building infrastructure systems combined with the

complete lack of ADA access within Queen Anne necessitates a large-scale renovation.

Due to the extent of renovation work needed, it is not plausible for the College to absorb

the responsibility for financing the renovation work without State and County support.

Without directly addressing the insufficient and inadequate space dedicated to the

College’s performing and communication arts, a renovation without an addition would do

little to increase student enrollment, retention, and graduation.

In order to meet President Barack Obama’s and Governor Martin O’Malley’s completion

agenda, it is imperative that the institution re-examine and reconfigure the classes offered

and instruction given to better serve students. Within this document, several factors were

identified and addressed to support the renovation of Queen Anne on the Prince George’s

Community College, Largo Campus. The renovation of this building will add value to

current facility challenges, in addition to allowing the institution to enhance the programs

and services that are offered within the institution.

The renovation and expansion of one of the four original buildings on campus,

constructed back in 1967, will offer the following advantages that could not be attained

by continuing to react to emergency situations. These advantages include the following:

Improving services and programs for credit students who participate in programs that

encourage student engagement and completion.

Improving services and programs for students currently enrolled in Workforce

Development and Continuing Education noncredit programs.

Enhancing the relationship between Prince George’s County Public Schools and the

College by expanding performing and communication arts programs and services.

Eliminating excessive operational and maintenance costs caused by a building past its

useful service life.

Providing for a modern, flexible technical infrastructure that can easily accommodate

the ever-changing requirements of technology in the workplace.

Creating a synergy for students and faculty in performing and communication arts.



11. What is the expected Operating Budget effect due to the renovation.

Increased utility charges (gas, electric, water) as part of the renovation are expected upon

the completion of the renovation and addition. Although more efficient mechanical and

electrical systems are expected as part of the renovation, the College anticipates an

increase in operating maintenance expenses due to the buildings increased size and load

requirements. With the increase in building square footage and equipment, it is

anticipated that additional HVAC, electrical, and environmental services employees

would be required to maintain the building. To respond to the needed expansion, growth,

and development of programs new faculty and staff will also be hired.



Subsection 1D.2 – MISCELLANEOUS REQUIRMENTS

1. Indicate whether the project:

a. Is within a 100-year flood plain:

The project is not located within a 100-year flood plain.

b. Is in a wetlands area:

The project is not located in a wetland.

c. Involves the clearing of forested areas:

The project does not involve the clearing of forested areas.

d. Is within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area:

The project is not located within the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area.

e. Will have an effect on the State’s historical and/or culture resources:

The State’s historical and cultural resources will not be affected.

f. Is consistent with the State’s “Smart Growth” policies:

This project is consistent with “Smart Growth” initiatives.

Since none of the above statements apply to this project there is no requirement/need for

additional agencies to review this proposal. See Maryland Office of Planning

Environment Assessment Form (EAF) for additional considerations.

2. If the project is not included in the current facilities Master Plan for the relevant

agency or location, explain why it is not included and how implementing the project

will affect components of the plan:

The project is included in the current facilities Master Plan dated October 31, 2008.

SECTION 2B – MAINTENANCE & FACILTY INFORMATION

All information presented in the Maintenance & Facility information section is to be verified by

the Design Consultant.

1. Roof and related Elements:

a. Type of structural system: Steel: Bar Joists/Beams & Columns

b. Type of Decking system: Steel

c. Type of insulation and condition: Perlite, Isocyanurate

d. Type of roofing material, age, and condition: There are four sections of the

roof. Section A is approximately 24,350 sqft, Section B is 3,650 sqft, Section C is

1,580, and Section D is 1,580. The roof is 13 years old and is under warranty

until 2019. The roof is finished with a mineral-surfaced cap sheet over a multi-

ply bituminous built-up membrane. The roof in October, 2011 was assessed by

EMG, and Asset Management Consultant and they reported that the roof was in

fair condition.

e. Slope of roof: The four sections of the roof have slopes of ¼.

f. Are drains, gutters, and downspouts present, clear and operable and

adequately spaced? Storm water is drained from the roof by internal roof drains.

A drainage swale runs along the inside of the perimeter edge flashing. Internal

drains are recessed down in wells and have full cast-iron cover baskets. Storm

water is collected by interior piping and discharged to the storm water system.

The roof collects standing water around the perimeter and wet conditions on the

penthouse rooms so resloping is required. All sections should slope to the roof

drains.

g. Provide record of maintenance performed: See Subsection 2E.1 on page 279.

h. Will the parapet walls, flashing etc. need work? The flashing and parapet

walls appear to be adequate; however, they must be checked by the design

consultant as part of the design along with all information and responses

presented in the maintenance section.

i. Any roof equipment? There is no equipment on the roof

j. Describe access to the roof, edge detail and construction: Roof access is via

two roof hatches. One roof hatch is located in a second floor office (room 201A)

and the other roof hatch is located in the third floor mechanical room. The third

floor mechanical room roof ladder opens within approximately 12 inches of the

roof edge and is a potential safety hazard. The access ladder in QA 201A has a

minimum toe clearance to the wall and does not confirm to current OSHA



standards. The edge detail and condition of the roof will be reviewed by the

design consultant.

k. Identify required repairs or replacements to roofs, flashings, lighting

protection, chimney, gutters and downspouts, and pointing requirements:

Roofing systems currently appear to be adequate, but should be looked at by the

design consultant.

l. Roofing Warranty: GAF (Diamond Pledge), Expiration Date (7/15/2019),

Warranty Number (MAGL209292476-00)

m. Roofing Spec: The design consultant shall verify.

n. Flashing Spec: The design consultant shall verify.

2. Asbestos and other Hazardous Materials:

a. Has an asbestos survey been completed: Yes, an asbestos assessment and

abatement cost estimate was completed March 16, 1988.

b. Are any other hazardous materials such as lead present: The original paint is

likely to contain lead compounds.

c. Provide date, name or survey company, and identify presence, location, type,

amount and clarify if proposed work will occur in area where hazardous

materials have been identified. Will the materials be removed or

encapsulated: The asbestos survey was conducted by OMC Analytical

Laboratory in 1988. It is expected that the renovation will remove all asbestos

containing materials as the renovation is expected to remove all areas within the

building. Asbestos Containing materials are summarized below:

Lobby Ceiling near 100-400: Approximately 2592 SF of acoustical ceiling

plaster

Above balcony seating overhang near room 203 & 204: 150 SF of acoustical

ceiling plaster

Mechanical Room 300: elbows, valves and tees

Room 109: elbows, valves and tees



Basement Mechanical Room 098: elbows, valves and tees



Behind stage wall outside room 113: elbows, valves and tees

Vertical up to catwalk: elbows, valves and tees

Floor tile throughout: Approximately 3,500SF of vinyl asbestos tile

The extraction of asbestos will be by a certified asbestos removal company.

d. If the building has one or more hazardous materials storage areas, is each

area code compliant: N/A

3. PCB Transformer:

a. Is a transformer filled with PCB located in the structure to be renovated or

are there any on the site supporting this structure: There are no PCB

transformers located on campus.

b. Provide inspection reports describing size, type and condition: N/A

c. Are there any signs of leakage? If it leaked, has problem been corrected and

contamination properly disposed of, or is it still present: N/A

d. Have plans been initiated for its removal by using an agency or a separate

contract: N/A

4. Electrical:

a. Is present service adequate or does it need load reading: Yes, the present

electrical service is adequate.

b. Is spare capacity available for renovation or addition if appropriate: No,

spare capacity is not available for the renovation

c. Describe present problems: The Switchgear and Transformer are located in the

basement of the building which is prone to flooding. The switchgear and

transformer should be relocated to above grade. The Queen Anne building is

dim. Inefficient T-12 fixtures are installed in offices, shops and can be found

throughout the building.

d. Identify type of existing service, including emergency electrical systems.

Will work be required on these services: The main electric service is 1400Amp,

120/208V, four wire alternating current. Federal Pacific circuit breaker panels are

located throughout the building and in some cases clustered together and surface

mounted in a public hallway in violation of code requirements. Emergency

Generator service is provided from a gas generator that is located at the Bladen

Hall Utility Yard. It would be preferable to have a dedicated emergency



generator installed during the renovation of Queen Anne especially since the

building square footage is being substantially increased.

e. Is service and space location in compliance with current code requirements:

No, the electrical service and space is not in compliance with current code

requirements.

f. Will the life safety features (alarms, exit lights, fire protection, etc) need upgrading or replacement: Life safety features will need to be upgraded. The

vast majority of the building is not equipped with an automatic sprinkler system

for fire suppression. The alarm horns are not equipped with strobe lights and the

current fire alarm system is not capable of indicating addressable devices.

g. Describe the existing lighting systems: The building is equipped with a

combination of T12 fluorescent light fixtures, incandescent fixtures and compact

fluorescent (CFL) lamps. Other building lighting in the auditorium includes

recessed canister type light fixtures and “PAR” track type stage lighting and

lighting controls on the stage. The majority of corridor, classroom and office

spaces are 2’ x 4’ fixtures.

h. Describe the existing power distribution system: A 500 KVA transformer and

1400 amp switchgear are located in the basement. This equipment needs to be

relocated because the area is prone to flooding even though a sump pump is in

place.

i. Describe the proposed renovated buildings: aa. Overhead or underground distribution: The renovated building should

have underground distribution of power to the building similar to all

other buildings on campus.

bb. Emergency power requirements: Exit lights, life safety devices,

overhead lighting in some areas to assist with egress from the building.

cc. Preferred Lighting type: Theater stage and performance lighting should

be installed in Theatre spaces (Hallam, Blackbox, Proscenium) as well as

several labs such as the TET lab. Throughout classrooms, offices and

other building spaces fluorescent T-5 energy saving fixtures, recessed

Compact Fluorescent Lighting, dimmable ballasts and Light-Emitting

Diode (LED) Exit Signs should be installed.

j. Are there any other Electrical items that should be considered in the design and addition of the building? Upgrade of all existing Federal Pacific electrical

devices due to lack of parts availability. Installation of lightning protection should

be included.



5. Heating, Ventilation, Air-Condition (HVAC):

a. Describe in full detail, the type of existing system: Steam and chilled water are

supplied from the Bladen Hall Central Plant and two air handling units located

inside the second and third floor mechanical rooms. The steam piping enters the

building at the basement in the sump pump room through an underground tunnel.

Heating and cooling is provided to the building by two high-capacity air handling

units, equipped with heating and cooling coils. The heating system and domestic

hot water system both utilize one electric and steam 190-gallon water heater with

reheat coils and circulating pumps. Air handling units circulate conditioned air by

insulated ducts concealed above the ceiling. Return air grilles are located adjacent

to the supply ducts. The mechanical systems are controlled from a building

automation system (BAS) by “Siemens” for energy savings and more comfortable

temperature control in the building. The HVAC air compressor and dryer are

located in the second floor mechanical room. Thermostats linked with the BAS

are placed in strategic locations throughout the building. The low-pressure steam

system has one steel tank, controls and two five-HP condensate pumps located in

the sub-basement. Mechanical ventilation is provided in the restrooms, auditorium

shop, and maintenance storage closets by mechanical exhaust fans. Ventilation

fans are located in the mechanical room and are connected by concealed ducts to

each ventilated space.

b. Provide condition, age of equipment, remaining life expectancy of boilers,

chillers, compressors, pumps, etc:

c. Will a maintenance upgrade be adequate or will replacement be a

requirement: A complete replacement will be required as a result of several

factors. The heating, ventilation and air conditioning system must be redesigned

to allow for year around conditioning and control. In addition as the building will

more than triple in size, an extensive redesign of the current system will be

required.



d. What refrigerant is used? N/A

e. What type(s) of new HVAC system should be designed in the building? New

variable speed, air handling units with variable frequency drives, Multi-zone,

VAV boxes with reheat coils. A study should be conducted to determine if the

existing steam and chilled water being fed from the Bladen Hall Central Plant

should be abandoned in order to install a stand-alone HVAC system for Queen

Anne.

f. Identify any special physical plant requirements: Direct Digital Controls.

g. Are there any special considerations that need to be addressed in the design

of the addition/renovation: Noise control HVAC systems with lined ducts used

in Theater designs. Air conditioning should be supplied to the costume storage

and maintenance offices wherever they are located in the renovated building.

While the renovation proposes to install new costume shops on the 1st floor, the

spaces left vacant will need to be renovated and air conditioned depending on

their usage.

6. Plumbing, Water, Sewer and Storm water Utilities:

a. Describe in full detail, the type of existing systems: The plumbing systems

include incoming domestic water service, chilled water piping system, sanitary

sewer system and a partially installed sprinkler system. Domestic hot water is

supplied by the combination steam/electric hot water tank.

b. Provide copy of maintenance reports: Maintenance Reports are found in

Section 2E.

c. Describe types and conditions of fixtures: The building is currently equipped

with lavatories, toilets, urinals, showers, water fountains.

d. List sizes of lines, capacities and expansion needs: 4”, 1” and ¾”

e. What are the current system capacities? The building sanitary system should

be evaluated by an engineer to ascertain whether the existing campus sanitary

system is adequate to take on additional drainage and the storm water

management plan should be reviewed for adequacy.

f. List any water appropriation or treatment requirements: To be evaluated by

engineer.

g. Describe required toilet room modifications for number of fixtures,

handicapped code compliance of entrances as well as fixture compliance: All

toilet rooms need to be remodeled to meet Americans with Disability standards.

The Hallam Theatre restrooms do not have enough fixtures to support the load of

the 800 seat theatre. Currently there is one men’s and one women’s restroom



available for Hallam Theatre use. The Men’s restroom has three urinals and one

toilet stalls. The Women’s restroom has only three toilet stalls. The 2000

International Plumbing Code 403.1 indicates that for a theatre water closets/toilets

shall be provided at no less than 1 per 125 men and 1 per 65 women. On the other

side of the building there is one men’s and one women’s restroom for offices and

classrooms. The men’s restroom has one urinals and one toilet stall. The

women’s restroom has only two toilet stalls. These restrooms fail to meet ADA

code compliance. The men’s entrance into the space is too narrow, and the single

urinal is installed at 23 inches above finished floor, which is higher than the

maximum 17 inches allowed. Both the men’s and women’s restrooms do not

contain the required ADA stall turning radius or dimensions plus various faucets

have push on controls versus paddle type faucets so new ADA hardware would

have to be included. Sinks and mirrors are also mounted higher than ADA

guidelines allow. Both men’s and women’s dressing room restrooms contain

identical ADA issues. Each dressing room contains only one shower. The

shower does not meet ADA code since it lacks the proper turning radius, has only

a 24” opening, and has a 6” curb at the entrance of the shower.

h. Describe the preferred or likely method of sewage disposal: The preferred

method of sewage disposal is through the existing public Washington Suburban

Sanitary Commission (WSSC) system.

i. What are the expected plumbing expansion needs the Architect should

consider to renovate and add on to the building? Additional restroom fixtures

and the possibility of increasing the existing 4” sanitary sewer lines. Additional

sprinkler coverage should also be designed. The existing limited coverage

sprinkler system needs to be upgraded to protect the entire theater and the

proposed new addition.

7. Fire Protection System:

a. Describe the type of existing system: A non-addressable Simplex Fire alarm

system is utilized for fire and smoke detection along with pull stations throughout

the building to manually set off the alarms. A sprinkler system is only installed in

a few selected spaces in the building such as at the stage and telephone room

#103.

b. Identify if upgrade to existing system is required to meet code: The fire

protection system will need to be upgraded with the addition/renovation.

c. Describe any present Fire Protection problems, if applicable: The present Fire

Protection system is obsolete and replacement parts are difficult to obtain. The

present fire alarm does not tie into a central campus-wide fire alarm system.

d. Describe any additional noteworthy Fire Protection System items: As part of

the Queen Anne project, the Fire alarm system will need to tie into the campus

network and then add/upgrade various life safety devices such as control panels



and signaling devices, annunciator panels, alarm pull down stations, elevator

phones, and audible & visual devices within the building.

8. Elevators:

a. Describe in full detail the type of existing elevator, size and compliance to

existing code. Will replacement be required: The current Queen Anne

building does not have an elevator.

9. Termites:

a. Provide a copy of the current Termite Inspection Report: The College is

currently treating for termites at Queen Anne. Western Pest Control located at

202 Perry Parkway in Gaithersburg, MD 20877 was contracted to complete

termite eradication work. See Subsection 2E.2 on page 291 for a copy of the

Termite report. Prior to new construction, the building should be treated to

protect against future infestation.

10. Site Condition:

a. Walks, steps and paving – Describe conditions and work requirements to

meet handicapped code and acceptable use requirements: The amount of

work required to meet handicap code will depend on the final design. The design

contractor will be expected to design and engineer to ensure 100 percent code

compliance. Presently, walkway paving on the south and north side of the

building are in poor condition. Sections of concrete paving at the grade level

sidewalk and elevated sidewalk at the building perimeter will require replacement

in areas since they present tripping hazards due to vertical displacement, cracking

and spalling.

b. Exterior lighting – Describe condition and acceptability in terms of location,

spacing and degree of illumination: Exterior building illumination is provided

by surface mounted cylindrical light fixtures mounted on the high soffits. The

fixtures are old and do not provide sufficient illumination. As part of the

renovation the intent is to remove all outdated building lights. Currently there are

lighting levels measured around Queen Anne as low as 0.0 FC and on average

below 0.6 FC so the degree of illumination has to increase. The lack of light and

proper illumination presents security and personal safety issue that must be

addressed. Campus security cameras need lighting levels of 1.0 – 1.5 FC to

record images.

c. Is signage adequate and in good repair: Signage mounted directly on the

façade of the building is in fair condition, but should be replaced to project a more

modern look and feel to compliment the next exterior building facade. In March

2010 the College started a Campus Wide Wayfaring project to brand the exterior

signs on campus (excluding the existing channel letters on the side of building).

As part of the renovation the College embarked on a mission to install new

marquee, secondary entrance, vehicular and pedestrian directional, campus maps,

parking lot ground and pole identification and building directory signage. As part



of this project, two new Queen Anne directories were installed. As part of the

Queen Anne renovation the signs shall be protected and reinstalled. Wayfaring

and informational signage is lacking throughout the interior of the building. As

part of the renovation a complete interior signage package would have to be

installed.

d. Are there any site excavation, demolition, removal or restoration

considerations: Due to new building limits as part of the addition, there will be

excavation, demolition, removal and restoration work needed for the project

e. What exterior lighting improvements should occur as part of the renovation:

There are low-light areas where little to no light is present along the perimeter of

buildings so as part of the Capital Improvement Circulation and Roadways

project (currently under Design) new light poles are being added around Queen

Anne Fine Arts. As part of the Queen Anne Fine Arts renovation and addition

lighting changes necessitated by the proposed addition will need to be addressed.

11. Other Structural Elements:

a. Describe conditions of windows, need for replacement of work required, such

as painting, caulking and glass replacement: There are no exterior Queen

Anne windows.

b. Describe composition and condition of flooring and ceilings: The majority of

office and classrooms ceilings contain 2 x 4 feet standard tile in poor condition.

The ceiling tile is worn and has discolored overtime to a yellow tint. Some

asbestos abatement above the ceilings will be required. Auditorium, basement,

restroom, and theatre lobby spaces contain sheetrock ceilings which need to be

refinished. The interior flooring finishes are over fifteen years old and need to be

replaced at the present time. See Table 2B-2 on page 250 for a summary of the

interior finishes.

Several spaces in the building contain damaged or missing floor tile or carpet.

Due to the age and wear over time the tiles have cracked and continue to be

patched as part of the regular maintenance of the building. The ceramic tiles in

various places provide tripping hazards and must be replaced. The theatre has

various carpet areas patched with tape as makeshift protection. Floor tile in the

property storage area, theater studio classroom, and scenery shop are asbestos

containing tile and have significant damage.

c. Are entrance doors in compliance with code, including glazing type,

caulking, etc: Lobby entrance and west end entrance doors are metal framed

doors with vision panels set in metal frames. Exterior service doors are hollow

metal. Building caulking are located between dissimilar materials, at joints and

around door openings and expansion joints. The entrance doors appear to be in

fair condition and in compliance with local code, but must be further investigated.

d. Are present partitions re-usable, and in compliance with current code

requirements: The design consultant will assess which partitions are to be re-

used.

e. Will any existing masonry walls need re-pointing, replacement or

waterproofing: Exterior walls need re-pointing

f. Describe exterior wall construction and insulation values: The exterior walls

are finished with brick masonry. The soffits and freestanding vertical columns

are clad with an exterior insulation and finished system (EIFS). The EIFS

material is showing signs of damage and wear at various locations around the

building. The intent of the renovation is to change the exterior building façade to

a finish that better blends the newer look and feel of buildings such as CAT and

CHS with the older, traditional buildings such as Bladen or Kent Hall. Insulation

value to be determined by Consultant.

g. Specify the history of the structure, including the date of original

construction, and any structural renovations: The building was constructed in

1967. Since the building was constructed there have been no major structural

renovations.

h. Are there any special considerations that need to be addressed in the design

of the addition/renovation: The roof structure should be evaluated by the design

consultant to ensure the roof is designed to support any equipment that may be

located on the roof. As the building expands special attention should be given to

new parking provisions and pedestrian walkways to the building. The orientation

of the building should be re-examined and oriented in a way to maximize building

exposure.



12. Supplemental Question

a. Specify the scope of limits of the work requested. Provide a print or sketch

designating the work area: (See Subsection 2G.3 on page 315 and Refer to the

Expansion Plan which indentifies the anticipated scope of limits)



SECTION 2C – DESIGN OVERVIEW

The intent of the new Queen Anne building is to create a functional, flexible, maintainable, and

attractive facility that will serve Prince George’s Community College for decades to come.

Design solutions for this project must be based on the dual criteria of function and environmental

considerations. A number of general design considerations or criteria which pertain to this

project are described below.

The primary criterion governing design shall be one that produces an optimal solution to the

stated requirements within budgetary limitations. A functional, pleasing, and economical facility

is desired. The facility should be economic not only in terms of initial cost but also in terms of

short and long-term costs of operation and maintenance.

The spaces that are created from the design effort must serve well the functions that will take

place in the specific areas and must also present an attractive and inviting atmosphere. The

design solutions must be based upon the building function, the building environment, energy

conservation, and life-cycle-cost.

Technology Improvements and Overall design: To stay current with the communications, data

network, and audio/visual technologies typically employed in instructional environments, the

renovated spaces will require a combination of wired and wireless infrastructure with the

bandwidth and reliability needed to deliver high-definition content and connectivity to and from

both campus and off-site sources. Instructional and meeting spaces will have high-definition

displays for viewing recorded, streaming, and live video sources, and classrooms will be

configured with the devices necessary for the recording of performances, lecture capture, and the

viewing of distance learning sources.

To support this technology, the telecommunications infrastructure must be flexible and easily

updated as communications and data transport technologies evolve. The main

telecommunications room, where outside plant telecommunications and network facilities also

connect the building to the rest of the campus, will require a first floor equipment room of at

least 200 square feet. This space will house the distribution and termination cabinets and

equipment racks for the communications network infrastructure used to connect this facility with

the campus data center, internet, CATV, security systems and other outside services. Smaller

spaces on each floor will be required for housing the inside plant fiber optic cable terminations,

data switches, patch panels, and uninterruptible power supplies. The minimum room size needed

to house the data racks and electronic equipment on the second and third floors of this facility is

125 square feet. All of these spaces will require additional cooling for the electronics and

electrical power supplied by emergency circuits (connected to a backup generator) in the event of

a power outage. Telecommunications closets generate heat loads that exceed those of

conventional office or classroom spaces due to the amount of electronic equipment and the

power supply devices housed in them. Whereas these spaces are relatively small and are not

typically staffed or occupied, they will require monitoring systems to prevent un-noticed

fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Sensors should be designed to notify off-site

maintenance staff if conditions in these spaces exceed acceptable values.



The telecommunications closets should be accessible from common areas, and in close proximity

to electrical service and other building system maintenance panels. Maintenance staff should be

able to access these spaces with minimum disruption to educational or other meeting spaces.

There should be no overhead water pipes in closets, and the room should not be adjacent to any

source of water, like restrooms or kitchens. The room should not be carpeted.

As voice and data communications technology evolves, the infrastructure to support advanced

communications, display, video capture, presentation, audio enhancement, and other multi-media

systems must be flexible and readily accessible to technology contractors and staff. Spaces

requiring higher bandwidth connections should be provisioned with fiber-optic cabling

terminated in Multi-User Telecommunications Outlet Assemblies (MUTOA's). These provide

fixed pre-terminated connections to the nearest telecommunications closet, and are strategically

placed to serve multiple users in specific or anticipated furniture arrangements. Cable pathway

designs that facilitate open access to the telecommunications infrastructure are important to

ability to add, modify, and upgrade technology systems in a dynamic educational facility.

There are several spaces needed to accommodate connectivity to the College data network and

telecommunications (VoIP) systems. However, the functions that will occupy this facility do not

include a major data processing operation. The proposed telecom closets will connect

technology equipment (computers, displays, AV equipment, security systems, door lock control

systems, and building environmental control systems) to the central data center in the Center for

Health Studies. An IEEE 803.11/N wireless networking (Wi-Fi) system will also provide

pervasive wireless access to campus network and Internet resources. Wireless access points will

be installed throughout the building to provide the coverage and signal density required for the

number of wireless devices used in specific areas.

The voice and data telecommunications systems will include high speed fiber-optic cable

transmission systems that will provide the transport facilities for Gigabit Ethernet, 10Gigabit

Ethernet, Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone services, video and audio teleconferencing, lecture

capture, distance learning, streaming video, high-definition displays, sound systems, security

cameras, door lock controls, CCTV, CATV, and other multi-media capabilities. The building

infrastructure will be designed for voice and data communications over solid CAT6 or higher

grade UTP and fiber-optic cable. All spaces will have VoIP handsets, with a number of analog

sets being configured to operate in a power-fail situation. When installed, all cabling, jack

colors, faceplate layouts, and labeling shall conform to then-current College standards for voice

and data technologies.

All classrooms and select public spaces will be equipped with high-definition display

technologies, either projected or presented on high-definition flat-panel (LED/LCD) displays.

Displays will be connected via CAT6 or higher grade unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable to

various content sources (PCs, Internet, DVD, Blu-Ray DVD, lecture capture servers, etc.).

Sources and destinations will be controlled by multi-media switching equipment, typically

housed in an instructor lectern with a push-button control panel. Some non-instructional spaces

will have separate electronics equipment cabinets for housing presentation and control

electronics. Classrooms will contain touch-sensitive annotation and control system, such as

smart whiteboards or desktop tablet displays with annotation capabilities. Lecture capture



systems will be installed in classrooms for the recording and replay of audio, video, and

computer-delivered content stored on a centralized storage, cataloging, and distribution system.

High bandwidth Internet connectivity will be crucial to the research, distance learning, online

interaction, and content distribution needs of the College and the arts programs that will occupy

this facility.

The consultant shall provide a TV distribution system in the building following input and

coordination with the College to determine whether the TV distribution system should be

provided via digital satellite system, satellite dish, cable or another technology option.

An integrated electronic key-card door access and video surveillance system will be

implemented in the renovated and expanded Queen Anne Fine Arts Center. This integrated

security system will provide the capability to monitor and manage key-card based door access

for all interior and exterior doors, including the creation, assignment, modification and deletion

of key-card privileges. Further, the integrated system will include the software and digital

recording systems necessary to allow for the simultaneous viewing, controlling, and recording of

high-definition surveillance camera video. This system will be compatible with new systems

recently installed in the new Center for Health Studies building and will be expanded to include

additional buildings on campus, thus continuing the College's use of start-of-the-art campus

security monitoring and access control systems.

The use of a networked and remotely managed electronic key-card access system provides the

College a number of benefits over conventional door locks. Key-cards are issued to individuals

whose access privileges are managed by a centralized database. The system administrator can

issue and remove access privileges for individual rooms; for groups of rooms by location, type or

department; and by defining schedules that limit access by day of the week, date ranges, and

time-of-day. Privileges can be removed totally or in part using the control system database -

without having to retrieve the physical key-card from an employee. This is particularly useful in

an environment with the significant turn-over that accompanies the large number of part-time

and adjunct faculty at the College. Special purpose key-cards can also be issued with pre-

programmed expiration dates to short-term employees, contractors and students. Lost key-cards

can be immediately and permanently deactivated to prevent unauthorized access if they are

found. Key-cards will be the proximity card type - the same as currently used and managed with

the College's Stanley Security and Best Access B.A.S.I.S.™ security access system.

Telecom closets will have the same proximity card electronic door locks, with access authorized

only to specific IT, Facilities and Campus Police staff. The flooring used in the Telecom Closet

spaces should be vinyl tile for easy cleanup and be resistant to static buildup.

The Queen Anne Fine Arts Center shall have a state-of-the-art audio-visual system throughout

the building. Particular attention should be paid to integrating the system without unsightly

cabling, wiring, speakers or equipment showing. The audio-visual system should be integrated

in architecture, millwork, and blend into all installed areas. The audio-visual system must

include all systems and supporting infrastructure for the sound amplification and visual display

systems needed when performance or learning spaces are used for meetings, lectures, classroom

purposes, performing arts, film/video presentations, public forums, and other college and



community events. Systems designed shall support these uses, facilitate the easy and effective

use of the facility by participants, and enhance the audience experience.

LEED Certification: The consultant shall design to identify and implement practical and

measureable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions. The

design solution shall include elements to obtain at a minimum LEED Gold certification.

Section of Materials: The new architectural elements and materials employed in construction

shall be proven, low-maintenance systems with a service expectancy of at least forty years. The

exterior expression of the building should be found in dependable tested materials and

construction details compatible with the campus and the surrounding areas in general.

Selection of building materials and finishes is critical in the completion of this facility. Materials

and finishes, both interior and exterior, shall be selected to meet the following criteria: aesthetic

considerations, durability, acoustical requirements, ease of maintenance, and conservation of

energy. All materials, including design details, shall be analyzed for their effect on durability and

ease of maintenance, and attention shall be given to areas of high traffic such as corridors,

restroom facilities, or other special use spaces. Particular care shall be taken at building entrances

to provide for the removal of dirt and sand. Acoustical ceiling shall be of the lay-in type;

exceptions will be considered for special cases.

Architectural finishes are critically important in this facility, and should be designed with

maintainability and durability in mind. In addition, surfaces must be selected to provide a

monolithic, scrubable surface, free of cracks or ridges. Floor-wall joints must be designed to

allow easy cleaning. Doors shall be sealed against pests and venin, and all penetrations of pipe,

conduit, etc. shall be sealed. If some form of cavity wall is selected, special attention must be

paid for prevention of infestation in the cavity.

The building materials shall be selected to minimized contaminant sources and not contribute to

degradation of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).

As the nature of the facility ensures a certain amount of abuse from usage, traffic flow, and

movement of equipment, measures should be taken to protect the building from unnecessary

damage. The consultant must work closely with the college's maintenance staff to benefit from

their knowledge and experience in the maintainability of various surfaces and systems. Care in

the design of the building will insure significant life cycle cost savings.

The consultant must be aware of potential maintenance problems and must take special notice of

requirements for change in texture of floor surface where potential dangers to the visually

disabled exist. The consultant shall develop detailed product and installation specifications and

coordinate the review of these with the college prior to adoption. The minimum specifications

for any carpet used shall include performance requirements for static protection, Radiant Panel

and Aminco Smoke Chamber Test passage, Steiner Tunnel Test (ASTM84) passage, light

fastness, tuft bind, delamination, abrasion resistance, compression resistance, and acoustical

qualities. Floor surface materials, binders and glues shall be specified to minimize the out-

gassing of contaminants that cause IAQ complaints. No asbestos containing materials may be



used in the building.

Roof Work and Coordination: The roofscape, including not only the location of elements but

also their color and shape, shall be given design attention throughout all stages of the project to

assure an orderly and attractive appearance as well as comply with the Department of General

Services roof design criteria. The consultant should integrate and coordinate all aspects of design

associated with the roof. The roof materials shall be selected to provide a long life, high

insulation value, high wind-lifting rating, and a minimum guarantee of 25+ years for the entire

roofing system including all flashing, sheet metal, and roofing materials. For all equipment on

the roof, the roof shall have walkways and pads for ease of travel and access. Access to the roof

shall be from a stairway or door to avoid ladders and roof hatches. No equipment on the roof

may be visible from the ground. The consultant shall perform a lightning protection analysis.

The consultant shall design a lighting protection system around the perimeter of the roof(s).

Architectural Elements: The architectural elements of the building shall be coordinated to

minimize energy consumption and optimize the use of natural daylight. The design shall meet

the requirements of the established Energy Design Guidelines. Any new entries shall be either at

or a few feet above grade with a primary entrance ramp designed for use by individuals with

disabilities as well as services deliveries and other general traffic. Weather protection for entry

areas shall be provided by overhangs, canopies, or recessed doorways. Adequately sized

vestibules shall be provided at each major entrance.

All spaces modified or created shall be aesthetically pleasing yet provide for future adaptation

and change -all within a total framework of cost effectiveness. The internal appearance of the

facilities shall present an environment that reflects the highest quality possible. Space,

configuration, materials, etc. should be selected to achieve these ends. The materials selected

shall not become contaminant sources and contribute to the degradation of Indoor Air Quality

(IAQ).

The design of the building must accentuate the facility’s prominent visibility to both existing

traffic on the inner-loop and adjacent parking lots, but also connect with the newer and older

buildings on campus. The consultant should design the look and feel of the exterior facade to

create a unique building that blends the glass and metal panel look of buildings such as CAT and

CHS, with the traditional look of buildings such as Bladen Hall.

Environmental Conditioning: A new heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system

must be designed for the building. All mechanical and HVAC equipment must be easily

assessable for maintenance. Given the year-round use of Queen Anne, it is imperative that the

facility is designed for full environmental considerations within the context of energy efficiency.

Environmental considerations” refers to all aspects of conditioning the air including heating,

cooling, ventilation, air exchange, and humidity control. The primary objective of providing an

optimal thermal environmental is to control under and overheating and to maintain a minimum

variation of temperature year around. Particular attention should be focused on providing an

integrated thermal and humidity control system for the print and supply rooms to ensure

environmental conditions are consistent with facility and equipment requirements. The primary

objective of providing an optimal thermal environment is to control under and overheating as



well as humidity levels so there are minimal variations or temperature and humidity year around.

The building should be designed with an Energy Management Control System (EMCS). The

EMCS shall be a standalone Direct Digital Control (DDC) and ASHRAE BACNet compatible

system. The system shall consist of DDC terminal devices networked to a Graphical User

Interface (GUI) terminal through a network of intermediate control units. The GUI shall provide

a real time display of all HVAC and mechanical systems, contain all of the standard DDC

control programming, and provide secure operator access. Remote operator access to specified

buildings such as the Facilities Management Building and Bladen Hall must be included.

Lighting: Interior lighting shall be designed using point-by-point lighting analysis to minimize

energy consumption and maximize occupant comfort in accordance with Energy Design

Guidelines. Quality of light is as important as quantity of light. The design of lighting systems

shall include detailed consideration of the normal tasks performed in the room, lighting

properties of all surfaces, special lighting effects required, normal sight lines, and zone control of

larger areas. The consultant shall optimize the use of natural daylight and provide appropriate

lighting controls. Occupancy sensors shall be provided in areas and spaces that make sense.

The consultant shall also consider the use of automatic lighting controls, and exterior and interior

time controls. Unique ergonomic circumstances in spaces where computer monitors are used

extensively require special analyses and provision for appropriate lighting quality. In addition,

the interior design of the building must provide future flexibility/capability to erect or rearrange

partitions and space without the need to redesign HVAC systems. It is difficult to predict the

physical requirements that the future programs may impose on the building structure. Advances

in technology or changes in activity interest may demand profound spatial adaptation. Hence, the

design solution should address adaptation of spaces within the limits of the existing building.

Exterior lighting must also be addressed to ensure sufficient lighting levels around the building.

With the changes in the building such as the addition, enclosed porch, and added loading dock

sufficient light around the building is essential.

Window treatment to provide blackout capability should be recommended as appropriate on all

exterior windows. Window treatments should also be reviewed, evaluated and addressed in any

interior areas or spaces that require or dictate privacy. Window treatments should be

aesthetically pleasing, durable, and easy to maintain.

Utilities: Adequate utility services shall be provided throughout the facility. The consultant

should identify all utilities and services feeding the building and in the construction work areas.

Any new or extension in a utility service needed to carry out the College’s goals should be

included. New and existing demands on utilities in the building are to be assessed by the

consultant. The consultant shall coordinate with all utility owners to assure service connection

and capacity for the new building. The consultant is responsible for the complete system design

of all utility connections (storm water, domestic water, electric, lighting, gas, sanitary sewer,

telecom and data, etc.) from the points of the connection with existing systems to the renovated

site to establish the precise location and size of all underground utilities and/or services in the

construction area. Furthermore, the consultant is responsible for a thorough investigation of all

existing utility services including capability for expansion. If deficiencies are present, an

upgrade of the insufficient utility systems is to be included in the project. This is understood to



include an evaluation of all on-site utilities and also any demand which may be incurred on

“down-stream” utility lines. As part of the design an emergency generator should be supplied.

The consultant shall submit all necessary plans and specifications to the proper authorities. As

an example, the consultant shall submit plans for storm water management (or submit an

application for a storm water management waiver) and sediment and erosion control for approval

to the Maryland Department of Environment, Sediment and Storm Water Administration. All

desk stations in offices and classrooms require electrical outlets and data-capable telephone

service. Work spaces require wiring for computers and the ability to access the network.

Meeting spaces and learning spaces should also be equipped with sufficient electrical and data

connections and service.

Circulation: Circulation patterns within the building must provide for ease and shall be

appropriately sized. In the overall design, careful attention shall be given to the circulation

patterns for staff, students, and visitors. In addition, the relative sizes of the horizontal circulation

elements (lobbies and corridors) shall be appropriate to those areas directly served and to the

movement of persons from one area to another. Those elements shall be designed with due

consideration to the ration of net assignable square feet to gross square feet. Parameter furniture

located in the lobby should be considered for casual seating. Circulation spaces should serve

double duty as a means to promote spontaneous social interaction, and therefore, encourage the

exchange of ideas and information. This also insures great surveillance of public spaces by the

staff, discouraging theft and vandalism. Long, narrow corridors which serve no function but to

travel from point to point are to be avoided. Consideration shall be given to the number of

entrances into the building, and access to the Theatres and performance spaces. The main

entrances shall convey a sense of the building and its activities to those who enter. There should

be a clear separation and designation of space so that public and private space is clearly defined.

The main entrance to the building must immediately convey a sense of the building and its

activities to those who enter, be they first time visitors, or persons well acquainted with the

building. The space must be warm and inviting and should impact a sense of direction to various

spaces. The primary occupant traffic entrances to the building shall have airlock vestibules.

All exterior doors that re designated as “Exit Only” should be installed without hardware on the

door exterior. In addition, emergency exits required by code should be supplied without exterior

hardware and should be supplied with an automatic door closer as well as alarmed panic device

with local and remote annunciating capability. Mechanical and electrical spaces must be

accessible from public corridors and not require access though private spaces.

Non-program defined Study and Learning Spaces: In the design of the building particular

attention shall be paid to creating individual open spaces (beyond listed spaces presented in this

program) where students can study and plug into devices. These spaces should include areas

where students could sit down, congregate and work, as well as areas where computer stations

could be introduced to facilitate student learning.

Acoustical Properties: Consideration must be given to the acoustical properties of each

functional space in the project. Each space in this project shall be designed to provide optimal

hearing conditions within the space, with consideration given to the preclusion of unwanted



sounds from entering the space. Spaces that will contain noise generating sources (such as music

practice rooms or theaters) shall be designed away from spaces requiring quiet, or shall be

adequately isolated acoustically. Consideration shall be given to the transmission of sound

through a ceiling, or through the mechanical system, or over a partition that does not extend to

the structure.

Meeting and gathering spaces require special care, particularly considering reverberation.

Consideration shall be given to sculptured ceilings, acoustical flooring, non-parallel walls that

cover in the direction of the source of sound and other techniques that will avoid the necessity of

adding sound absorbing materials after the facility is completed. Room should have appropriate

acoustical treatment (sound absorbing panels, carpet or fabric) to absorb echoes and

reverberations. Walls should be constructed of and contain materials to minimize the intrusion of

sound from outside the room. Design of theaters, performance space, offices, and classrooms

shall prevent all noise from entering into adjacent spaces unless the space specifically calls for

passage of noise or sound. Specific attention shall be provided to reduce or eliminate noise and

sound caused by mechanical units, distribution of air, background noise, and miscellaneous

equipment. Designs shall incorporate all needed insulation and methods to ensure proper sound

volumes and levels in all spaces.

The consultant is responsible for determining anticipated noise levels that will be generated by

equipment and occupants of the building and specifying sound transmission coefficients (STC's)

of walls, floors, and other elements of enclosure needed to maintain acceptable noise levels. The

consultant shall provide all sound analyses, acoustics calculations, design work, and material

selections.

The noise levels within a space should not exceed 20dB for offices, and 15dB for classrooms.

The minimum STC levels must be 50 STC between offices, and 50 STC between meeting space

and all other spaces. Mechanical equipment spaces shall be designed to be acoustically isolated

from the rest of the building.

For all performance, gallery, gathering, teaching and learning spaces the consultant must provide

a report showing the designed sound levels. The design levels must be approved by the College.

Common and Special Use Spaces: Location of toilets, custodial closets, vending, drinking

fountains, trash receptacles, public phones, etc. must be convenient. The various comfort and

convenience functions must be accommodated in locations that depend on the design scheme and

code requirements. Toilet facilities for men and women (including facilities to accommodate the

disabled) shall be accessible in each area of the facility, and chilled water drinking fountains

should be located conveniently in corridors. A minimum of one custodial closet per floor shall

be provided, and shall be sized to accommodate the equipment required for the space served.

Custodial closets shall have easily cleaned surfaces and have a floor-mounted service sink, mop

hooks, shelves for supplies, and other items as may be required. Custodial closet requirements

shall be coordinated with PGCC's Environmental Services.

In public spaces, provide functional as well as aesthetically compatible trash receptacles. In

addition provide trash receptacles in all classrooms, office areas, lounges, and meeting spaces.



Trash receptacles should follow the College’s standard.

The provision of adequate public restroom facilities both in terms of quantity of restrooms and

size of the restrooms is key. Restrooms shall be provided on each floor in areas that make the

most sense. The total number of fixtures and restrooms must be in accordance with applicable

building codes. The consultant should coordinate in the design all college restroom accessory

standards, and provide recommendations for any accessory or part that is not a college standard.

The mechanical engineer must design the restrooms with proper ventilation and incorporate

exhaust fans for adequate air replacement. Occupancy sensors should be installed in each

restroom.

Consideration is to be given to how many janitorial closets there should be and where they

should be located. Janitorial closets must contain cold and hot water, floor mounted mop sinks,

self-priming drains, shelving, space to store equipment such as floor buffers, vacuum cleaners,

custodial carts, and cleaning supplies. The custodial space must also contain mop hooks, an

exhaust fan with an appropriate control, and easily maintained surfaces and finishes.

The Queen Anne building shall be equipped with a sufficient number of elevators to provide full

coverage of the building and all associated spaces. The elevators must comply with ADA

guidelines and all pertinent state, federal and local regulatory standards. The consultant shall

recommend to the College the number of elevators needed, the location of each elevator, the

weight capacity, cab size, elevator type, freight requirements, and height requirements.

Elevators should be located at various ends of the building to ensure convenient spacing and

access to elevators. A freight elevator must be provided to allow large equipment and

instruments to be moved from the loading dock to all floors within the building. Finishes of the

elevator should be durable and vandal resistant. Public passenger elevators should be designed

to travel to all three floors without having to transfer or get off. Elevator telephone service

should be provided and be compatible to the College’s fire and life safety systems.

To provide storage to music students, lockers specifically designed to hold various musical

instruments should be located in the music wing of Queen Anne. A sufficient quantity of lockers

should be located in designated hallways and spaces. Locker sizes should vary to support

multiple uses and instruments. Corridors and spaces with lockers should be designed wider to

allow for lockers and easy of traffic and egress. The consultant shall work with the College to

specific final sizes and quantities of lockers.

Loading Dock and Trash Provisions: The need for delivery of materials and the removal of

wastes from the building dictates the designation of a delivery and loading dock entrance,

separate and removed from the principal access of the building, and for the location of dumpster

where it can be readily connected. Space should also be provided for the collection and storage

of recycled waste such as aluminum cans, plastics, and paper. The trash container enclosure must

be accessible directly from the receiving area. Trash trucks will require a straight-line approach

to the trash container enclosure. This area must be visually screened. The consultant shall

indentify all spaces that require adjacency to a loading dock or elevator. Spaces that demand

access to the loading dock such as Hallam Theatre, the Proscenium Theatre, and the Blackbox

Theatre should be designed as such.



Site Design Elements: Design of site elements must respect the site’s community context and

exploit the site’s location opportunities while providing circulation efficiency. The following

items must be considered: Efficient utilization of land resources; Providing exterior lighting that

is compatible with existing campus standards, providing sidewalk materials consistent with

campus surroundings; providing landscaping that is pleasing at all times of the year and requires

minimum maintenance; and completing roadway design work up to and around the building. It

is expected that the Queen Anne expansion will be towards Novak Field House, the Center for

Health Studies and Lot K. The consultant will be responsible for managing any loss in Lot K

parking spaces, and if feasible adding back displaced parking spaces adjacent or near Queen

Anne. If trees and green space need to be displaced, the Consultant should make provision to

add green space and trees back in other locations around the building. Similar to the Prince

George’s Community College 2008 Master Plan the introduction of a prominent roundabout to

drop off patrons at the Theatres should be investigated. Clear emergency routes and access for

Campus Police, Facilities management and the Fire Department must be maintained. Site design

shall include ways to engage all students, visitors, faculty and staff to participate in the “Arts”

and encourage campus use in and around the building. Consideration shall be given in the

design to incorporating plazas, streetscapes, planting areas, exterior learning areas, sidewalks,

screen walls, seating, and site furnishing.

Utility and Site equipment should be hidden to prevent detracting from the architectural presence

of the building and site. All utility services are to be routed underground and all exterior and

electrical service equipment and/or utility service containers that must be located on-grade are to

be visually and acoustically screened to the satisfaction of the College.

Storm water management must be designed and approved by Maryland Department of the

Environment (MDE). The consultant shall submit plans for sediment and erosion control and

storm water management (or submit an application for a storm water management waiver) for

approval to Maryland Department of the Environment. Quantitative and qualitative storm water

management, as required by MDE shall be included in the site drainage design.

Item Coordination: The consultant shall coordinate with the college for specific types of data.

Items, such as door hardware, toilet fixtures and accessories, telecommunication types and

devices, and mechanical equipment, are part of an overall campus standard. The consultant shall

make certain that all items specified comply with current or projected standards as set forth by

the College. A master clock system compatible with the current campus master clock system

shall be specified in the design. Master clocks are to be included in classrooms, offices and other

key areas.

ADA Considerations: The design shall provide for the convenient usage of the facility by

individuals with disabilities. Design pertaining to use of the facilities by individuals with

disabilities shall conform to the ADA regulations. Elevators, restrooms, entrances, doorways,

connecting corridors, and all other aspects of the building, including furniture and equipment for

meeting and gathering spaces, classrooms, theater or performance space use, and offices must

provide for convenient use by the disabled. Site work shall include the provision of curb cuts,

elimination of excessive grades, handrails, and the construction of parking within ADA design

regulation guidelines for accessibility.



Signage: Communication of building information through signage and graphics is essential. It is

the Consultant's responsibility to design an identification and directional system to communicate

information essential to the operation of the facility. The interior/exterior graphic system is to

assist individuals moving to and within the facility. In accordance with ADA requirements,

particular attention must be given to the needs of individuals with disabilities to access the

building from parking areas and walkways and to move freely throughout the building. The

graphic system that can be reconfigured must include:

1. Exterior building identification signs at the main entrance consistent with PGCC standards

for exterior and way-finding signage

2. Interior signage that conveys needed information and compliments the interior finishes of the

building. The room numbering system shall conform to the HEGIS system and final

construction drawings shall reflect this standard.

3. Interior building directories at the main entrance and on each floor as required.

4. Room number identification for all rooms

5. Room number and interchangeable name identification plates for all departmental offices and

all support areas including toilets and mechanical/electrical rooms

6. Room name signs of large, specialized spaces such as “Hallam Theatre, the Proscenium

Theatre, Blackbox Theatre, and the Music Recital Hall.

7. Special donors and sponsors signs

8. Identification signs for all hazardous areas, evacuation procedures, and means of egress in

accordance with the fire and building codes.

9. Interior directional signage within the building.

10. Boards, display cases, and electric messaging signage in public and departmental areas as

required.

The consultant shall detail any relocation needed for the two exterior building directories that

were installed January 2011. They should be stored and reinstalled after the renovation is

complete. If additional building directories are needed due to the redesign, the consultant shall

specify the location and specification of the new sign. If so desired by the College, adequate

space shall be provided for attractive bulletin boards and/or exhibits. Provisions shall be made at

the entrance of the building for display of a building floor plan. In addition, bulletin and

announcement (change letter type) boards for college announcements as well as provisions for

the display or hanging of pictures and paintings, with appropriate lighting shall be provided in an

attractive and secure manner.

Fire and Life Safety: Fire and life safety issues are major design and considerations. The

Consultant is directed to investigate all potential fire and life safety problem areas, including

those that may be generated by the program requirements. Below is a partial list of requirements:

1. All fire equipment is to be clearly visible and graphically designated.



2. All materials used in the building are to be selected with regard to flammability and the types

of gasses produced by combustion.

3. Emergency access and egress routes are to be clearly identified and physically apparent to the

building occupants.

4. Ventilation systems are to comply with the ASHRAE standards and all other applicable

codes and standards.

5. The Consultant shall design all fire and life safety alarm systems to be Direct Digital Control

(DDC) and ASHRAE BACNet comparable with other DDC systems on the Prince George's

Community College campus.

Furniture Coordination: Furniture and equipment layouts shall be used to illustrate the

function of each space. The spaces in this project are described in terms of NASF required for

the function. Linear dimensions are not generally given to avoid undue restrictions on

architectural design. It must be recognized however, that the shape of a given space will

obviously influence the way in which it can be used. Therefore, the consultant shall show all

furniture equipment at the design development phase to insure that the design shape provides for

the function of the space. The College will select movable furniture and equipment and the

consultant will provide the layouts to demonstrate space functionality. The consultant will be

responsible for including and showing furniture throughout the design period and permitted

construction drawings. The College will assist the consultant in preparing a final list of

equipment and furniture requirements. The requirements will include Fixed equipment and

Movable equipment.

Assignable Space & HEGIS codes: Lists of estimated assignable space per HEGIS code

required to support this project are outlined in Section 2A of this Facility Program. These lists

are provided within the individual space sheets. Space sheets detail the overall requirements of

each spatial element of the facility. The Design Consultant should use these sheets as a guide

only. It is expected that the consultant will validate sizes of spaces, how spaces integrate with

each other, equipment and material listed, and present various options and designs as to best

execute the College’s overall vision. The consultant will be required to expound upon all

information presented in this program.

The consultant is required to provide floor plans that illustrate how all of this equipment will be

accommodated and how and where utilities will be provided to it. Items identified as "built-in"

are items which the consultant is to include in the contract documents and the consultant is to

specify manufacturer, style, sizes, finishes, color and location of this equipment and require that

the construction contractor provides this equipment as part of their contract. The consultant shall

consider ergonomic factors in the selection of furniture and development of equipment layouts.

For each space, the consultant shall label design drawings with the net assignable square feet

designed and the net assignable square feet programmed. Below the label of each space

designation on the drawings, the Consultant shall indicate the net assignable square feet designed

and assignable square feet programmed. In addition, the consultant shall provide a summary

comparison of programmed and provided spaces, separately from the drawings. These figures

shall be carried through the approval of Design Development. The consultant shall add to the



summaries approved with design development a listing of spaces in the Construction Documents,

in order that a comparison can be made of the area of each programmed space through each stage

of design. The consultant shall also provide to the College an Excel summary listing for each

space/room by HEGIS code. The summary listing at a minimum shall display the HEGIS code,

room number, room description, room size with dimensions, room capacity, and total NASF and

GSF. Each item shall be listed in a separate Excel column. Room dimensions shall be listed in

feet and inches.

The net assignable square feet in the design of the facility should generally not exceed the total

net assignable square feet (NASF) specified in the program. The aggregate net assignable square

footage of the spaces identified in this program represents the maximum space allocation

permitted for this facility. The consultant must make every attempt to execute a design solution

within this limitation. Exceptions to this requirement are allowed only when approved by Prince

George’s Community College.

Structural Systems: The consultant is responsible for investigating the soil, its type, suitability

and stability at the project site. A geotechnical survey shall be performed to provide information

needed for determining an appropriate foundation system for the building and specifically for the

addition. The consultant will be expected to indentify the specific foundation system to be

utilized during design.

The structural systems of the building must be reviewed to determine what can be reused. The

consultant is required to determine the live load and provide it uniformly in all areas of the

building. In areas requiring special attention to floor loading, the consultant is required to

investigate the specific support requirements of these areas and design for these spaces

accordingly. In no event shall the design live load be less than what is required by the applicable

codes.
