Smart Communities & Innovation Building Electrical Vehicle Facility

The Smart Communities and Innovation Building project will entail renovating the former 1-North building on Peter Bryce Campus and will become the new home of The Alabama Transportation Institute (ATI), the Alabama Department of Transportations (ALDOT) West Central Regions Transportation Systems Management Operations and other strategic partners to develop and open a regional transportation management center and collaborative research center located on the UA campus. The Project will entail a total renovation of the approximately 66,500 gross square foot three (3) story building. The renovation will include the installation of all new building systems including life safety, HVAC, elevator, electrical, information technology, security and access control, and other systems as required to bring the facility in line with University enterprise systems and current code and to meet the functional needs of the programs. A building envelope assessment will be performed, and issues addressed as appropriate. The roof will be replaced as part of the Project. The structure and single column bay layout of the building is ideally suited to open office format. This format provides for flexible future program and space use and yields a lower cost of construction. The Project also includes approximately 3,000 gross square feet of addition for an enhanced lobby space and vertical circulation. The Project will be bid with alternates to fit out portions of the 3rd floor. Site enhancements will include creating a distinct entrance with a covered drop off and a designated parking area for visitors and accessible spaces for the building in the area immediately northwest of the building along with providing drive access to the loading dock and service area for the building. The site will be landscaped to University standards, all service areas will be appropriately screened, and appropriate pedestrian connectivity and lighting will be included. The facility will also include significant network infrastructure and connectivity to support research and operational needs including the regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) Center.
