Barstow Community College Facilities Master Plan // Background & Existing Conditions Summary projects anticipated in the Five Year Plan, were reported to be in generally good condition. Deficiencies noted addressed primarily routine maintenance issues. Mechanical Systems The space conditioning requirements of the array of campus buildings are served in a variety of ways. Buildings Interior With the exception of the Student Services Building (Building No. 02) and the Learning Resource Center (Building No. 10), Building Interiors appear to be essentially as they were originally constructed. Some of these spaces date back 50 years, and, while in serviceable condition, would not be considered technologically “up to date”. It should be noted that, when comparing the projections for Storage space against 2011 Educational Master Plan projections, there is an abundance of Storage space throughout the campus. However, those spaces that were observed were not necessarily efficiently planned or equipped in terms of adequate shelving, lockers, filing systems, etc. Roofs The roofs of all of the existing buildings are “flat” roofs with built-up roofing. All of the roofs were field surveyed in 2011 and, with the exception of roofing The following buildings are served by the Central Plant: •§ A Building (Building No. 01) (cooling only) •§ C Building (Building No. 02) •§ S Building (Building No. 03) •§ F Building (Building No. 04) •§ T Building (Building No. 06) •§ G Building (Building No. 07) •§ B Building (Building No. 08) •§ K Building (Building No. 09) •§ Wellness Center (Building No. 13) The following buildings are served by dedicated chiller/boiler systems: •§ L Building (Building No. 10) •§ Performing Arts Center (Building No. 12) The following buildings are served by package cooling/heating systems: •§ W Building (Building No. 05) •§ D Building (Building No. 06) •§ CTE Building (Building No. 14) The Central Plant is fitted with a new chiller and boiler which are in turn supplemented by the old chiller and boiler which serves as backup and provides redundancy. The dedicated chiller/boiler systems are either new or well within the parameters of their serviceable life. The package units are determined to be in the 10 – 15 year range in age. While they are routinely maintained, they can be expected to reach the end of their serviceable life within the next 5 – 10 years. Additionally, these units are not as energy efficient as new equipment. // 8
Barstow Community College Facilities Master Plan // Background & Existing Conditions Summary Electrical Systems The newer (post 1996) buildings have electrical systems that are current with the code requirements of Title 24 of the California Administrative Code (State Building Code). The older buildings have functional, serviceable electrical systems that, in all probability, need updating to meet current code requirements. As these facilities are modernized, the attendant electrical systems should be brought into code compliance. Plumbing Systems The plumbing systems appear to be in functional, serviceable condition throughout the campus. Many of the toilet facilities have been upgraded over time to meet the requirements of Title 24 of the C.A.C. and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Fire Protection The following buildings are not equipped with an Automatic Fire Sprinkler (AFS) system: •§ Administration Building (A Building, Building No. 01) •§ Classroom Building (S Building, Building No. 3) •§ Fitness Center (F Building, Building No. 04) •§ Warehouse (W Building, Building No. 05) •§ Classroom Building (T Building, Building No. 6) •§ Gymnasium (G Building, Building No. 07) •§ Classroom Building (B Building, Building No. 8) •§ Performing Arts Building (K Building, Building No. 09) •§ Classroom Building (D Building, Building No. 11) There exists a campus-wide Fire Alarm System that has been recently upgraded and is presently centrally monitored; however does not fully meet accessibility requirements. Information Technology The Data Center is located in the Administration Building. The campus is served by a fiber optic loop that is presently adequate to service the campus and accommodate future expansion for the foreseeable future. The campus wireless system has nodes that require upgrade, but is considered to be capable of being managed with current budgets. Growth of wireless access is considered slow. Communication The telephone system core has been recently upgraded and capable of handling campus needs for the foreseeable future. Security The campus security system has been recently upgraded. Consideration is being given to expanding the card access. Signage and Wayfinding As a general statement, signage throughout the campus does not meet accessibility requirements. There are two campus directories located in the vicinity of the Learning Center. There is no signage along the various pathways indicating either accessible paths of travel or offering direction to campus facilities. Accessibility The 2011 Facilities Program discusses a campus-wide survey of Accessibility issues on a macro level as well as delineating a program to implement an Accessibility Transition Plan. // 9
