Minnesota State Colleges & Universities Anoka Technical College - Manufacturing Hub, Auto Tech Lab renovation

2014 STATE APPROPRIATION REQUEST: $1,500,000 AGENCY PROJECT PRIORITY: 18 of 25 PRIOR YEAR CAPITAL APPROPRIATIONS: None Project at a Glance Design, renovate, furnish, and equip space to meet workforce training needs Renovation of 10,070 GSF (Automotive Technology) Renovation of 31,955 GSF (Manufacturing Technology Hub) Each project cost is $750,000 and a construction schedule of less than 18 months. Number of classrooms/labs impacted: 9 Reduce deferred maintenance in the colleges labs and classrooms, and bring to current building codes Removal of obsolete spaces to respond to workforce demands Project Description Automotive: Renovation will update classrooms and equipment in order to accommodate the increased demand in the program and update curriculum to stay ahead of industry demand. This ever-changing industry demands updates including new diagnostic equipment. Mechanical infrastructure needs improvement to protect occupant health. Install carbon monoxide detectors and provide exhaust hose reels rather than existing in-floor/in-door ports to fix ventilation needs. Original in-floor vehicle hoists are broken, where parts are no longer available, and replaced with awkward overhead vehicle lifts that impede access and group instruction. Three new in-floor vehicle hoists would improve instructional access and group observation without interfering posts. Additional training space becomes available by converting an unused alcove and duplicate hallway into automotive bays. This reclaims two bays for college instruction, offsetting the two work bays used by high school students participating in training through STEP (Secondary Technical Education Program). The project additionally addresses environmental concerns by removing existing hoists and contaminated oil.

Project Narrative

Manufacturing: Creates a workspace conducive to collaboration between Anoka Techs Machine Trades, Welding and Mechanical Drafting and Design Technology programs. The proposed renovation will provide a collaborative environment where Design and Manufacturing students will interact while building on each others abilities and skills. This will provide real world skills in team work, design and manufacturing. The collaborative environment additionally exposes prospective students to related programs. These combined programs incorporate Engineering, Math and Technology aspects of S.T.E.M. for college students as well as high school students in nearby communities participating in these training opportunities through STEP (Secondary Technical Education Program). Project Rationale and Relationship to Agency Strategic Framework Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Strategic Framework: Ensure access to an extraordinary education for all Minnesotans: Automotive: The Automotive program has experienced a 62% increase from 2007-2011. The department needs safety and energy updates in addition to equipment and technology updates in order to meet the increasing demand. The project includes acquisition of new equipment and installation of current equipment in order to create a competitive learning environment. Proposal will update the current automotive shop to mirror industry, attracting and retaining students. Request will update safety measures including air quality measures for carbon monoxide detection and exhaust and improving sight lines in the classrooms. Manufacturing: The collaborative learning environment created by this project will closely reflect industry, better preparing students for employment. The project will provide an opportunity to facilitate capstone and combined capstone program for students. The three programs will have the opportunity to share up-to-date equipment, such as 3-Dimensional print, between several programs in an easily accessible location. The Hub creates a synergistic and innovative environment for students to develop multiple technical skills directly transferable to manufacturing trades. Be the partner of choice to meet Minnesotas workforce and community needs: Automotive: Renovation would provide the needed and advanced space to adequately train students in advanced automotive technologies and skills in response to increased workforce needs. Skilled automotive technicians and

workers continue to be needed in a variety of areas within the state. Anoka Tech meets business and industry need by partnering with area business and providing well-trained employees with highly developed skills. Automotive Technology Renovation will allow students to utilize newer and more advanced equipment to better serve the industry need and allow for teaching advanced skills through shared support. Updating the automotive lab will allow students to be trained in a real-world setting with the new automotive diagnostic equipment and repair technologies currently being used in the industry. Manufacturing: Provides needed space to departments in response to increased industry need. The average age of the students in this program is 29. This is reflective of non-traditional students retraining for placement in the workforce. Moving these spaces provides added opportunity for current and future expansion of the Manufacturing department. The project provides an area to accommodate high school students enrolled in the Secondary Technical Education Program (STEP) program. Deliver to students, employers, communities and taxpayers the highest value/most affordable option: Automotive: Renovation would allow for more advance cooperation and efficient use of space for both STEP and Anoka Tech while also supporting the existing infrastructure through a more advanced and flexible work/classroom environment. To do so would better serve all students and maximize space while providing an opportunity to address needed maintenance that currently limits program growth and operations. The project will keep the automotive program current and will provide lighting and HVAC controls to improve energy efficiency. Manufacturing: Bring programs together in one collaborative and interactive space at the college. Aligning Machine Trades, Mechanical Design and Welding to better serve students and maximize courses and create space efficiencies while providing a multidisciplinary learning environment. Repurposing the existing computer lab and classroom space for both Machine Trades and Mechanical Design will increase efficiency in classroom scheduling as well as providing access to similar technology for a more diverse group of students. A common Computer Lab that will facilitate both Machine Trades and Mechanical Design students further maximizes space and efficiently provides curriculum to multiple programs.

Project Narrative

Institution Master Plans and Regional Collaborations: The Automotive project further strengthens Anoka Techs relationship with Anoka-Hennepin school district by providing space for students to interact with one another and faculty while further building upon abilities and skills. The students enrolled in the Secondary Technical Education Program (STEP) program currently occupy this space. The project would allow the opportunity to better provide for the needs of these students, reducing scheduling conflict with shared equipment and strengthening the STEP partnership by ensuring a seamless transition from the STEP program to the Anoka Tech automotive program. For the Manufacturing Hub, the mechanical upgrade fits with the mechanical Master Plan conversion of the facility from a steam-system to a hot-water system, which helps reduce energy costs with lower temperature water and boilers. Exploration/Implementation of Alternatives and Partnerships for Funding and/or Equipment: Exploring the possible use of Repair and Replacement funding for potential hazardous materials survey as well as replacement of mechanical equipment/noisy, old, overhead air handling units.

Deferred Maintenance Backlog removed: The ventilation in the Automotive Technology is currently not tied to carbon monoxide sensors, and the original vehicle exhaust hook ups are inconvenient and insufficient for the usage. The sensors and hose reel exhaust hook ups will provide a health and safety improvement for the occupants of the space. The Manufacturing Hub includes the removal of aged and difficult to access overhead mechanical systems, including one unit that has been abandoned, with a replacement mechanical room for better access. Two of the five of these air handling units have recently been replaced and this would help update the remainder of the air handling units in the space.

Rightsizing and Space Utilization Improvement: The Automotive project will allow the conversion of an unused alcove and a duplicated common corridor into usable space for training students. The Manufacturing Hub would allow the currently underutilized space from the suspended Plumbing Program to help fill the overflow need by the other combined already successful programs. This may enable potential enrollment of additional students that have been on waiting lists for these programs. The Manufacturing Technology utilizes and rightsizes existing spaces to design collaborative workspace used by several programs. This project additionally proposes to utilize spaces currently underutilized due to suspension of the plumbing program which provide a growth opportunity to expand Machine Trades and Sheet Metal, and integrate the other programs. Energy efficiency and/or other Sustainability Improvements: Improved indoor air quality is a sustainability improvement for the health of the occupants in the space. In the Manufacturing Hub, the implementation of a part of the mechanical Master Plan conversion, from steam- to hot water- mechanical units, allows lower temperature fluid to condition the space, with less energy spent at the boilers to generate the lower temperature. Impact On Agency Operatiing Budgets (Facilities Notes) Capacity of Current Utility Infrastructure: Current infrastructure is not impacted by this project. The roads, driveways, parking lots and drainage remain largely unaffected. In the Manufacturing Hub, the jib crane by the loading dock may require specific alignment of the flatbed truck for unloading stock material. Building Operations Expenses: Energy reductions should be realized if the make-up air unit has been running in excess of what the sensors control and by allowing the doors to remain closed when engines are running during colder weather. Removing the abandoned mechanical unit over the faculty office as well as the original 1960s era, noisy mechanical unit over the ceiling of the computer lab and replacing with a newer, properly sized unit will dampen noise

transmission into lecture spaces as well as reduce electrical energy consumption and thus operating expenses. Operating Space being repurposed, operating costs will remain neutral. The replacement of HVAC equipment provides a modest savings in energy consumption. Renewal spending @ $1/SF: $750,000 requested. Other Considerations Consequences of Delayed Funding The alcove and hallway space sit vacant while the program has a waiting list of students that needs to be turned away. In addition, the indoor air quality remains a concern, without carbon monoxide sensors tied to makeup air to ventilate vehicle exhaust in the enclosed garage space, primarily during the heating season from September through May. If delayed, the area of the suspended Plumbing Program sits empty, underutilized, while the programs proposed to fill the space have waiting lists of students that may decide to go elsewhere for education.
