20946.01Final Stanley Consultants i
Executive Summary
Background
Antioch College has been in existence for over 150 years. In its rich history which started in
Yellow Springs, Ohio in 1852, there have been many changes including the number and location
of its campuses and obviously in its administration, faculty and student population. What has not
changed is its dedication to a very involved student body, independent study and independent
thinking in the pursuit of providing an exceptional education to its students. Like many
universities, the focus is and should be on education of its students. What has become a common
theme for many universities has to deal with the task of efficiently managing their facilities,
including the use and costs of utilities, while effectively providing for the needs of the campus to
sustain the learning environment.
With aging campuses, increasing utility costs, increasing budget constraints, and growing
deferred maintenance lists, the focus on planning and activities to provide budget savings and
external funding support is critical to the campuses success. The reality of campus operating
costs, whether it is for unexpected repairs or prioritizing projects such as deferred maintenance
issues, existing facilities renovation, or new construction is to understand the existing condition
of the campus.
Stanley Consultants Inc. was contracted by Antioch College to assess and document the physical
condition of twenty-nine (29) buildings in a detailed report. The condition, life expectancy,
capacity, and efficiency of the systems and subsystems are documented and reported noting
recommended options and potential cost effective solutions to improve and extend the overall life
of the buildings and systems.
The primary objective of this study was to prepare an assessment report that documents the
following:
20946.01Final Stanley Consultants ii
· Identification of issues to comply with the State Building Code/Local Building Codes.
· Identification of issues related to Ventilation and Indoor Air Quality, if any.
· Identify required repairs for deteriorated or damaged exterior envelope, roof, and interior
finishes.
· Identification of issues to comply with ADA and Life Safety standards.
· Identify architectural modifications required for identified renovations to the HVAC,
electrical, plumbing, data, and communication systems.
· Evaluation of existing building services including mechanical and electrical systems.
Specifically, the evaluation will cover the plumbing, HVAC, boilers, fire protection,
electrical service, electrical distribution, security, and lighting.
· Evaluation of Facilities or Building Management System, and related Sequences of
Operations
· Evaluation of site civil and building structural to determine any issues that need to be
addressed.
· Evaluation of site utilities including electrical and steam piping/tunnels.
· Investigate condition of parking lots, roads, sidewalks, and landscaping.
· Conceptual cost estimates for implementing recommendations, based on the issues
identified during the assessment.
· Historical Significance – utilize the previous survey work for the Getty Campus Heritage
Grant to identify historical importance.
The physical assessments were based on the followings:
· Structural Condition
· Roof Condition
· Exterior Envelope
· Life Safety Systems
· ADA Accessibility
· Electrical System
· Mechanical System
· Historical Significance, collected from the Campus Strategic Plan

Assessment Summary
Stanley Consultants focused on six (6) tasks in the performance of the condition assessment. Key
to the success was to review the scope of work for the assessment study and confirm format,
criteria, and goals for the study. We met with Antioch staff, gathered documentation, and began
planning the site assessments. Multiple site assessment visits were performed consisting of
physically inspecting, observing, and evaluating the facilities, their major systems, capacities, and
the associated distribution system components.
Stanley Consultants performed life cycle cost analysis where a clear decision of renovate/repair
versus replacement was not able to be made solely based on observation and inspection. Where
life cycle cost analysis was not required, Stanley Consultants developed cost estimates for repair
and replacement of existing systems in accordance with recommendations for needed facility
improvements. The cost estimates are conceptual, rough order of magnitude cost estimates. The
estimates will be separated by building and will include building and building services
improvements, site improvements, material costs, contractor overhead and profit, contingency,
administration, and engineering costs.
Facility needs lists were prioritized based on the critical nature of the facility, system, life
expectancy, and energy efficiency. The information is provided in two parts; a brief summary of
each building is presented; and at the end a table is summarizes the findings. The table will
identify the replacement cost, renovation cost, and the Facility Cost Index (FCI) for each
building. The FCI is the required renovation cost divided by the replacement cost for the facility.
Detailed deficiencies related to each building are identified under individual section in this report.
Based on the assessment summary Stanley Consultants recommends the following options:
· Reduce the number of operating buildings by consolidating overall activities. This will
save operating cost for Antioch College.
· Drain the water lines prior to temporarily shutting down any building. This will prevent
water lines from freezing under extreme water conditions.
· Buildings with wet fire sprinkler system will be modified to dry sprinkler system. Flow
and tamper switches will be installed to activate the fire sprinkler system in the event of
fire.
· Stand alone building heating system will be a feasible option if total number of operating
building is reduced by 50% or higher. Stand alone building heating system will consists
of high efficiency condensing or modulating boiler(s), pump(s), and boiler management
system. This option will allow the College to shut down the existing heating plant,
which will result in operating cost reduction. Operating the existing heating plant under
reduced occupied building scenario is not cost effective.

Mechanical:
This building has two (2) DX split system for cooling, two (2) fan coil units with steam coil, and
chill water coil for heating and cooling. Perimeter heat is provided by fin tubes along the exterior
walls. The DX system and the fan coil units have out lived their useful life. The DX system and
the fan coil units need to be replaced.
The HVAC System do not provide outside air or ventilation air, which is a health and safety
concern and doesn’t satisfy the code requirements.
The overall condition of the mechanical system is poor, and has out lived its useful life. The
existing HVAC System should be replaced with a much more energy efficient system and
controlled by Direct Digital Control. The overall energy consumption can be reduced
significantly by replacing the existing mechanical system and improvement of the building
envelope. Refer to the attached building scan images for heat loss profile.
The plumbing system is in poor condition and in need of replacement due to several leaks.
Domestic water has been turned off due to numerous leaks in the water pipe. The domestic water
pipes are original galvanized and sanitary waste is cast iron. The plumbing system must be
upgraded to satisfy the local and state code requirements.
Unit Dorms:
Architectural:
Built in 1988, the two (2) story masonry building is in good condition. There is a two (2) story
common area with individual rooms at the perimeter. Some lintels need to be replaced and the
building entrance is not accessible.
Electrical:
Total Hazardous / Code Violation / Safety Condition – It is recommended to test all emergency
and exit lighting to verify that it meets NPFA 101 section 7 and all other relevant codes.
Poor Condition – Requires Immediate Correction – ENT conduit is currently being used for power
cables, which is a violation of NEC article 362.
Energy Savings – The overall condition of lighting is that there are incandescent and fluorescent
fixtures installed. It is recommended to install fluorescent T8 lamps with efficient electronic
ballasts, compact fluorescent bulbs, and LED lighting; where possible. Occupancy sensors and
dimmers can also be installed to reduce energy consumption.

Art Building:
Zone: 4
The building was built in 1960, and renovated in 1972. This building is approximately 10,850 sq.
ft., two (2) storied and concrete block/steel beam construction.
Overall building condition is poor. Refer to the attached table in this section for building specific
deficiencies noted during Stanley Consultants visit and related cost.
Architectural:
The large area of sloped glass is very energy inefficient and has many cracked glass panes. A
long term plan should include looking at alternative ways to improve the energy efficiency of the
building. The plan should also include what to do with the series of overhead doors along the
length of the building. The flat roof should also be replaced. The exterior bridge that extends from
the main building to the foundry area is a concrete bridge supported by open web steel joists, a
metal deck and poured concrete. The steel is rusting out, the edge of the concrete is breaking off
and the steel handrail is rusted. This whole bridge should be replaced.
Electrical:
Total Hazardous / Code Violation / Safety Condition – The light levels are low in many areas. It
is recommended to adjust light levels to match IESNA and local code requirements.
There is no backup power to exit lights. It is recommended to update and install all emergency
and exit lighting to meet NPFA 101 section 7 and all other relevant codes.
There is no ADA compliance. It is recommended that all outlets, switches, lighting, and means of
egress be installed per ADA guidelines.
Poor Condition – Requires Immediate Correction – The existing electrical distribution system is
outdated and needs to be replaced.
There is an existing communication system; however the system is not throughout the entire
building. It is recommended to update and expand the communication system.
Energy Savings – The overall condition of lighting is that there are incandescent and fluorescent
fixtures installed. It is recommended to install fluorescent T8 lamps with efficient electronic
ballasts, compact fluorescent bulbs, and LED lighting; where possible. Occupancy sensors and
dimmers can also be installed to reduce energy consumption.
