Originally completed 1934; it has seven office floors, attic, basement, partial sub-basement, five interior courtyards; covers most of its 3.6 hectare (8.9) acre) site and has approximate gross floor area of 114,917 square meters (1,237.000 square feet). It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Renovations are primarily for major mechanical and electrical modernization; plumbing replacements; historic elevator cab, hoist way door and historic light fixtures replication; life safety improvements; barrier free access requirements and hazardous materials removal (primarily asbestos and lead paint). Work will be completed in three phases, each including selective demolition, construction, renovations and restoration. Approximately one third of the building will be vacated and renovated in each phase. Portions of the facility will remain occupied and fully operational throughout renovation. In addition to overall renovations, the first two phases have some major unique aspects. Phase One includes installation of new chillers, restructuring of attic to install new cooling towers and primary electrical work. These elements will service the entire facility and must be installed prior to removal of the existing systems.
