20、 Kimball Art Center is to evolve a transformation strategy that opti-mizesthe ability tomove from old to new withefficiency, economy, andresilientidentity.From these perspectives, we recommend the following variations of your proposed three phase construction/move- in cycle.1 Begin construction in t

21、he early summer building cycle on the empty eastern portion of the site.2 Perform initial site preparation, demolition of exterior decks and eastern 14 of original building, whilerevising the exiting circulation. This early intervention into the original would allow for construction of the new eleva

22、tor core to proceed in timely and efficiently.3 Proceed with foundation work and erection of structural steel for the addition within the initial eightmonths of construction.4 Following the completion of the January Sundance events, close the original KAC for the demolition ofthe existing interior a

23、nd roof structure, excavate for the proposed lecture screening hall and lowered the basement floor to match the new Main Street floor level and allow for more appropriately scaled studio spaces.5 Proceed for a unified singular celebratory opening.Notwithstanding the merits of the above strategy, oth

24、er considerations may result in measureable long-term benefits. The tight urban site is inherentwithchallenging constructioncoordination issues and potential unknown costs. Our experience with such projects suggests that the sooner KAC is able to give uptheentire building site toconstruction, thegre

25、ater the potential is for loweringconstructioncosts. While this approach involves a temporary relocation, the cost savings of this approach could well pay for thecost of thistemporaryrelocation, aswell asminimizing multiple on site moves during construction. In the end, the ability to open and occup

26、y the newly transformed KAC in one coordinated and celebratory effort will have the most powerful impact of first impression and accomplishment.Within the sealed schedule envelope our team has provided, per your request, we have analyzed threedifferent proposal schedules in detail. Schedule 1 is bas

27、ed on full KAC occupancy during construction of phase 1 asyou have proposed in yourrequest. Schedule 2 is for the approach identified above, and schedule 3 is based on KAC moving out prior to the start of any construction.KAC An Authentically Sustainable Approach.Every aspect of our concept for the
