October
Since September 2, Gensler received authorization to initiate the process for drafting the Working Drawings after the state approved the preliminary drawings. The Work Draings set consists of a detailed technical plan or set of diagrams that will give the future general contractor and supporting firms the roadmap to construct the New Horticulture/Lab School/STEM Lab.
The Design Team completed the Design Development (DD) set that lays the groundwork for the Construction Documents. The Campus Project Team reviewed the DD set with the Building User Group and Facilities, Maintenance and Operations department for their agreement; once achieved, the Design Team may commence work on the Construction Documents. A DSA submittal is expected to be made in the coming months for agency consideration.
