Notice of Hearing
Pursuant to K.S.A. 75-37,143(d), the State Building Advisory Commission will conduct a public hearing at 9:00 a.m. June 12, 2024, in Suite 1200, 12th Floor, Eisenhower State Office Building, 700 SW Harrison St., Topeka, Kansas. The purpose of the hearing is for the public to have an opportunity to comment on a request from Wichita State University for Henrion HVAC Improvements – Phase 3 and 4. Construction costs are estimated at $3,250,000.
Over the past three years, Wichita State University has invested just under $2 million in two separate projects to improve the health and safety of Henrion Hall by improving ventilation and dust collection in the ceramics, sculpture, and foundry areas in the building. This project includes the scope of work required to provide central heating, air conditioning, and ventilation to the remainder of the building (approximately 29,000 square feet) to address the additional deferred maintenance HVAC items. Phase 3 would be contained to the west portion of the building and include addition of a chilled water plant, paving modifications to the south drive to accommodate a fire lane, heating water boiler plant, HVAC system to serving the west gym, and electrical infrastructure upgrades to support the proposed Phase 3 and Phase 4 HVAC equipment. Phase 4 would encompass the remainder of the non-central air-conditioned spaces including airside HVAC upgrades, dust collectors and make up air units at east end of building, electrical scope to support the HVAC upgrades, and the removal and replacement of ceilings required to support the HVAC and Electrical work.
