PROJECT SCOPE
The proposed scope of work includes: Existing Building Condition Assessment Phase 1 Environmental Assessment (provided as a separate 200 page report entitled, Environmental Due Diligence Audit 02-02-2013) Code Evaluation Space Programming, Planning and Concept Design Evaluation of Existing Building Systems Logistical Planning and Scheduling Evaluation of Existing Fixtures, Furniture and Equipment Conceptual Project Budget Summaries of: o Design-Build o Project Labor Agreements o Construction Management at Risk The proposed scope of work includes rehabilitation and alterations, and a building entry addition to Sophie Finn Elementary School to accommodate SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center (BRC). Per semester, the BRC provides credited collegiate courses to nearly 600 in-county and out of county residents, and noncredited courses to another 1000+ students. Additionally, the BRC is the home of the certified SUNY Ulster Police Basic Training Program which provides full-time pre-employment police basic training to students in preparation to appointment in law enforcement.
SECTION 1
Minor reorganization of existing space is being proposed to address program needs, improve efficiency of current spaces, and improve overall aesthetics to create a collegiate environment. The alterations will correct noted code, life safety and ADA deficiencies as required, and replace outdated building systems with modern energy-efficient systems and equipment. Site improvements are being considered to accommodate current and projected student enrollment, staff and faculty. A proposed new main building entrance and parking area at the second story will accommodate 115 student parking spaces and provide a clear sense of arrival. A generous, welcoming entry lobby will telegraph student and faculty activity upon entry. In total, the site has the capacity to accommodate nearly 170 parking spaces, 55 of which will be located at the existing parking area on the lower level for faculty and staff. Police Academy Cadets could utilize the Kingston High School lower lot adjacent to the tennis courts, on the south side of Sophie Finn. The Kingston High School lower parking level on the north side of the building could be utilized for additional spill over parking. The proposed design schemes take advantage of the abundant naturally day-lit spaces and the overall open feel of the existing building. The new main entrance at the second floor brings visitors and students to the heart of the building upon arrival. The new entry lobby is situated between the two existing building wings with views looking out to the Catskills and south over the town of Kingston. The light filled space sits across from the main open stair and new building elevator providing direct access to the first floor. A detailed scope of work is further described in Sections 4 and 5.

SECTION 2
SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center currently resides in an Ulster County owned building on One Development Court, Kingston, NY. The one story office facility was once occupied by IBM until the mid 1990s when IBM closed its operations in Kingston. The building sits on a main thoroughfare and houses both Ulster County offices such as, County Office of Employment and Training, County Child Support Enforcement and Social Services. SUNY Ulsters BRC, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and several community programs run under the BRC are also housed at One Development Court. Though the building is of no architectural significance, its location has benefited enrollment as its located in the shopping district and along several bus lines. The BRC occupies nearly 20,000 SF of floor space. Spaces consist of classrooms ranging from approximately 600 SF to 950 SF, offices of 140 SF to 200 SF, a Continuing Education and Registrar Suite, and a Reception/Lobby space that is part of the buildings general reception and manned by a Security Guard. There is no true sense of Entry as a Security Guard acts as the greeter to all guests, and directional signage is lacking. The overall feel of the space suggests neither a place of higher educational learning nor a professional inspiring environment. Daylight is scarce and artificial lighting is poor. The organization of spaces seems to be based upon space availability throughout the building, and therefore, the BRC lacks identity.

SECTION 4
Sophie Finn Elementary School, owned by the Kingston City School district, is a two story steel framed and bearing wall building with brick veneer constructed in 1962. Designed by Perkins and Will Architects, the buildings appearance is consistent with many elementary schools of its time. Sophie Finn is approximately 29,000 gross square feet and currently houses students from pre-k through grade 5. The basement floor occupies a small portion of the building and consists of the boiler room, an electrical room, storage and a custodial room totaling approximately1500 SF. Direct access to the exterior is available from all but one space, the electrical room. A spiral stair from a central core provides access to the basement from the interior. The remainder of the building is simply configured with two main single loaded corridors on both the first and second floors. A specials core which includes the Playroom, Library and Cafeteria, as well as the Main Office, sits at the crux of the two main wings and is linked by a central open stair. Daylight filters through the first and second floors from a two story glass wall system at the central stair. All classrooms are situated in building wings with abundant direct and indirect daylight. Classrooms are generally separated from the corridors with masonry walls and a vision panel between top of the wall and the ceiling providing a means of indirect daylight and a sense of openness. The understated Main Entrance is situated on the first floor off of Marys Avenue, across from St. Benedictine Hospital. A small parking lot serves faculty and staff at this location and provides a bus loop and student drop off drive. The Main Offices are situated directly off of the Main Entrance. The first floor of Sophie Finn houses mainly Pre-K and Kindergarten classrooms, the Cafeteria and the Main Offices, while the second floor provides classrooms for the remaining grade levels, the Library and the Playroom. The Playroom is flanked by Toilet Rooms, Locker Rooms and Showers that have been out of operation for some time. Though the building has not seen a major renovation project since its construction, it is generally in good condition. The most significant exterior component requiring improvements is the exterior window system which is single pane and original. Replacing the window system would provide an increase in the buildings energy performance; the payback period exceeds 15 years. The majority of architectural renovation and upgrades is needed in the building interiors on both the first second floors. While the building looks and feels like an elementary school, the simplistic layout and organization provides great opportunity to transform the building into a state of the art higher education facility. Renovations will include new ceiling systems and lighting, interior masonry wall treatment, new interior glass wall systems, wall paint and base, new flooring, new and existing doors, and a combination of new and relocated furniture. Toilet Rooms on each floor will be renovated to comply with ADA Standards for Accessible Design. New lavatories, water closets and urinals will be provided, and existing finishes including wall tile and floor tiles will be replaced. Components such as, hand dryer's, paper towel dispensers and mirrors will also be replaced. In general, Toilet Rooms will be refurbished to be ADA compliant, comfortable, and up to date. The design intent for entire facility, particularly the classrooms and main student spaces, includes clean, forward thinking spaces that promote interaction between students and faculty, and stimulate the desire to learn. Registrar, computer rooms and the student lounge/cafe will become more visible and welcoming engaging students and prompting them to utilize the spaces and services. Corridor walls will be resurfaced
SECTION 4
and/or rebuilt to provide an academic feel and allow for informal student/faculty meeting along the length of the corridor. To provide a larger, more accessible entrance and lobby, a proposed one story addition will be located on the second floor. A main parking lot will accompany the new entrance and provide parking for nearly 115 students, while the lower existing lot will provide 55 parking spaces for faculty and staff. The new transparent glass entrance addition will offer a more collegiate atmosphere. Upon entry, students will be presented with an open lobby with lounge seating to encourage informal meeting and discussion amongst students, faculty and staff. Through aptly appointed renovations, we strive to provide the BRC with a healthy and stimulating learning environment, and to achieve greater interest and engagement from students, staff, faculty and visitors. Consequently, through improving the overall environment and endowing a collegiate setting, proposed plans will strengthen the BRCs ability to positively impact students and attract perspective students whom may be considering continuing education.

Power for HVAC and Plumbing System: A. Coordination with mechanical and plumbing engineers will determine equipment to be disconnected for removal by electrical contractor. B. Preliminary coordination with mechanical scope indicates that significant mechanical equipment load (approx. 130KW) will be added to the building. Proper circuit breakers, feeders, disconnect and other necessary control devices shall be indicated in the drawings. Emergency Power for Fire Safety System: A. No existing emergency power generator is present in the facility. Currently the building does not include a fire protection system in which an electric fire pump would be required. An existing sprinkler system exist at the facility, however, it only covers a small area of the facility. B. A fire protection system including an electric fire pump is a viable option for this facility. If this approach is approved, an emergency generator will be required. The generator will be approximately 100-kW (400-Amps @ 208/120-Volt, 3-Phase) diesel or natural gas generator. This size generator will meet the fire pump requirement as well as provide some emergency power for the facility. The generator would consist of a dedicated feed to the electric fire pump, one feeder for life safety power (emergency lighting) and one feeder for standby power. Lighting: A. System Description: 1. The existing building lighting was recently retrofitted with surface mounted T5 fluorescent fixtures and motion detection in classrooms and corridors. High bay 5-lamp T5 fluorescent fixtures are present in the gym area. Switching in the facility is currently single switch with alb bi-fixture switching in classrooms. The retrofitted fixtures in the corridor are 1x4 surface mounted fixtures with prismatic lenses. The ceilings in most areas will be removed for architectural and mechanical work; hence fixtures will require to be replaced with efficient fixtures that also add to the esthetics of the space. 2. The new fixtures will be required to satisfy the new space requirements. i. All new lighting shall be fluorescent T8 or T5 depending on the application. ii. New fixtures shall meet IESNA recommended levels and controls. The interior luminaires shall utilize predominantly 120 volt high performance T8 program start electronic ballast with less than 10% harmonic distortion. iii. Central Hudson will be contacted to review if incentives are available as part of the lighting renovations and/or additions. Utility incentives tend to yield higher rebated than NYSERDA and shall be pursued first. iv. Initial interior illumination levels in foot candles (FC), will be aimed to be as follows: 1. Corridors: 10FC 2. Toilet Rooms: 10FC 3. Offices: 30FC 4. Class rooms: 40FC
III.
IV.
3. In general, lighting controls will be required and arranged according to new rooms and spaces.
SECTION 5
4. Existing emergency lighting is provided by wall mounted batter pack units which cover all means of egress. These battery packs appear to be older. Replacement with LED type emergency lighting units will prove more reliable. 5. Existing exit signs appear to have proper coverage and do not appear to require replacements. 6. Exterior Lighting System Description: Existing exterior lighting is very minimal. There exist two (2) wall pack units at the front of the school and one (1) on the back. It is proposed that additional LED exterior wall mount fixtures are added to improve the school perimeter lighting. In the new upper level parking lot, new exterior lighting will be required. The parking lot lighting shall utilize LED pole lighting to minimize energy use and maintenance costs while promoting pedestrian safety. In addition to base energy savings, another potential advantage to using LED system is that the system can optionally dim during periods of inactivity and increase upon motion detection to augment energy cost savings. If costs do not allow for the use of LED, pulse start metal halide would be used. In order to keep a secure area, building perimeter lighting shall be added to provide a lighting level of 1-2 foot candles (maintained). Basis of design is suggested as 20-foot poles for parking spaced at 70-feet centers and 15-foot building mounted lighting, spaced at 60-feet centers, Phillips Gardco GL18 (PSMH) and GL18-LED (LED). Building mounted lighting will be provided on all sides for security purposes. Separate emergency lights will be provided at all exterior egresses to meet Code. V. Fire Alarm A. System Description 1. The existing building is covered by a SAFECO ALARMS SYSTEMS Zone Fire Alarm panel located in the electric room. Smoke detector, fire alarm visual strobes and horn coverage throughout the school appears to be adequate for the school usage, but a more sophisticated system is required for an increased occupation. 2. It was requested during the time of the field visit, that a new Addressable Fire and LifeSafety System is provided at the facility. This system will incorporate fire alarm with audio notifications during not only fire emergencies, but any other emergency via a PA system. In addition to the audio notification capabilities, the panel will also include smoke detection, new entrance lobby fire alarm annunciator panel, and fire annunciation devices. Further investigation and coordination with the new facilitys staff will assist in selecting the proper panel for the facility. 3. Tamper and flow switches as required per code will be provided. 4. All fire alarm wiring will be plenum rated. 5. All devices will be designed to be located where they will meet ADA guidelines. Telecommunications A. System Description 1. Telephone and fiber optic cables enter the building in the basement. The service is located in the electrical room where the main distribution panel is located. Coordination with the
VI.
SECTION 5
colleges network department will determine exact locations of all new data and telephone locations. 2. Existing tel/data outlets will be removed as required in the renovated areas. New tel/data boxes will be provided as required to accommodate the renovation. 3. It is anticipated that box and conduit will be provided by electrical contractor while the college provides all necessary cables and connections. If the construction project requires that all data/telephone boxes, cabling and raceway to be provided, then, cabling system shall have a raceway system consisting of conduit in concealed inaccessible spaces and Jhooks for open wiring in accessible spaces for routing of the communications cabling from individual outlets leading to the local distribution frame per all EIA/TIA Standards. VII. Code Summary A. Preliminary building survey did not reveal any electrical code deficiencies that would require correction under this project. All new electrical work will be installed per all required codes and standards.

FF&E Evaluations
SECTION 7
The design team visited the BRCs current location on One Development Court several times to evaluate existing fixtures, furniture and equipment. All spaces including but not limited to, lecture rooms, computer rooms and offices were surveyed to assess the current condition of FF&E based upon age, wear, useful life and visible appearance. Nearly 90% of the desks, tables and chairs utilized by the BRC are original IBM furniture from the late 1950s. There are several different types of chairs throughout the space; original task arm chairs on casters with and without arm rests, newer task chairs with and without casters, tablet chairs, and several types of wood veneer desks and computer stations. Though there is some consistency in style and type, the fabric colors vary within rooms, (see attached photos). The furniture is comprised mainly of metal rather than plastic, and is in fair condition. However, the furniture is showing signs of wear and age; wood veneer tables are chipped at edges and chair fabrics are stained. Our recommendation is that the college replace as much of the existing furniture as possible, including lecture rooms, classroom, computer rooms and office room furniture. There are several rooms, for example, Computer Rooms 501, 206 and 204 and Office 409 whose chairs could be relocated and reused in offices, conference rooms or break out rooms. Should the college decide to reuse some furniture, we suggest that those pieces be located in rooms that are not of high visibility. Re-use of fixtures and equipment such as, computers, projectors and such will be of the discretion of SUNY Ulster. However, the Fire Arms Simulator and Driving Simulator will be relocated to the new facility. The cost to fully equip and furnish the BRC at 94 Marys Ave. with new furniture as recommended is as follows: New Entry Lounge/Cafe Classroom/Lecture Rm Furniture $12,000 x 11 Computer Room Furniture $15,000 x 5 Office Furniture $3,000 x 18 = $20,000 = $132,000 = $75,000 (includes SCLC) = $54,000 (includes conference rooms)

The schematic project estimate on the following page is based on two design layouts, a base layout and alternate layout. Each layout considers the program requirements to allow the BRC to function at its current capacity and beyond. A dollar amount of $160.00/SF and 60.00$/SF were used to calculate costs of major and minor renovations respectively. Minor Renovations include new flooring, ceilings and lighting systems, painted walls and ceiling soffits, and additional data and outlets as required. Spaces in this category remain mostly intact with upgrades and improvements to surfaces. Major Renovations, in addition to surface improvements, include demolishing and rebuilding walls to reconfigure space. Floor Plans illustrating these distinct areas follow the schematic estimate. The schematic estimate illustrates three costs shown in columns 1, 2 and 3. Columns 1 and 3 relate to the base layout and alternate layout, respectively. Column 2 is a combination of the base layout and alternate layout. This cost reflects the alternate layout with the maximum parking spaces, the larger entrance addition from the base layout, new windows, showers in the changing rooms and new furniture.

SECTION 9
We understand that SUNY Ulster wants to occupy the building in January of 2014. In order to meet this schedule, the County of Ulster and SUNY Ulster need to act quickly and proceed with design. Upon the design phase, a site logistics plan, a construction phasing plan for the renovations and building addition, and a scheduling plan will be developed. The site logistics plan will indicate construction areas, works areas, lay-down areas for staging, site access for construction and the restoration of the site post construction. The desired occupancy date will be affected by long lead items. Windows, doors, and particular mechanical equipment will be identified and selected early to ensure timely delivery. Some of these items may require pre-ordering prior to bid or specifying alternative materials that are more readily available. Throughout this process, a conscious effort will be made in the design, the selection of materials and construction methods so to not delay the construction schedule.
SECTION 10
A project labor agreement, or PLA, is a pre-hire collective bargaining agreement between a contractor and a bona fide building and construction trade labor organization establishing the labor organization as the collective bargaining representative for all persons who will perform work on a public work project, and which provides that only contractors and subcontractors who sign a pre-negotiated agreement with the labor organization can perform project work. This form of labor agreement is utilized in large scale public and private projects to control the quality of labor, wages, strikes, etc. But the establishment of PLAs with multiple trades involved is cumbersome and expensive. Formation and administration of a PLA requires a comprehensive study and eventually requires labor attorneys from both sides to agree on the substance of the agreement. For that reason, projects of the size of the Business Center relocation seldom have their own PLA in effect. Design-Build is gaining popularity in the US because it is generally a less expensive and quicker form of project delivery. Under this process, a builder is teamed with a design team early in the process and the team works for the owner toward common goals from the start. A guaranteed maximum price is generally provided to the owner prior to construction. This price is generally 10 to 15 percent lower than traditional design-bid-build with WICKs law. While this method of building will surely be available in the future, with a few exceptions, NYS law does not allow the option for design-build when public funds are involved. The State University Construction Fund can and does use design-build, however; the County of Ulster is not permitted to use design-build. Therefore, this project cannot utilize designbuild without State legislative approval.

Meeting Minutes January 23, 2013 SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center Sophie Finn Relocation Project Page 2
ITEM
DISCUSSION Business Resource Center (BRC) currently occupies and therefore, SUNY Ulster began looking for space to relocate. Approximately 10 months ago, the College considered locating the BRC in the vicinity of TECH City but found it was too costly. SUNY Ulster became aware of Kingston CSDs plan to close Sophie Finn Elementary School. Several pros and cons for this location were discussed. Cons: o Setting is somewhat isolated as compared to the current location. o Lack of parking o Fear of cost of upgrades to convert from elementary to collegiate facility. Pros: o Located between KCSD High School and Benedictine Hospital o Possibility to be perceived as an extension of High School to increase enrollment. o Collaboration with SUNY IT / nursing program. o Adjacent bus line. Project Budget $4.4M is available to fund this project. A 2010 Facilities Report of Sophie Finn estimates $6M in upgrades. Chris White mentioned that the County is looking at other funding sources, including, NYSERDA, and that the final report will dictate how much additional funds are needed to support the project. All parties made clear that a $10M project is not possible. The Report will act as a model for other similar type school conversion projects. This project may be considered in two phases, however a second phase is unlikely: Phase 1 - Building Occupancy by January 2013 Phase 2 Classroom Additions County/ City School District/SUNY logistics SUNY Ulster and the City School District have not yet come to an agreement on the means by which the BRC will occupy Sophie Finn. A lease to buy may be considered however, an agreement will not be determined until the findings of the Report are made public. The County will be the lead agent for SEQRA however the City of Kingston will be involved. Jeff Bodrow discussed the following site/water management issue: Grading to access a new parking area at the back of the building can be achieved. A comfortable slope between 7% and 10% will be accommodated. The existing site is mainly bed rock. The design team will explore means of retaining water before it is released. Pervious pavement was discussed the project team is very interested in sustainable approaches that minimize water run-off. Kingston CSD is currently pursuing water management systems. The design team will coordinate with Kingston CSD to avoid redundancy. Bryan Manning reviewed the project schedule; see attachment. In addition to site visits and meetings, a weekly conference call will be held to keep all teams members up to date and to keep the planning process moving along.

ITEM
DISCUSSION CSArch will initiate an FTP site to be utilized by the project team. The following design issues were discussed: Sophie Finn is wired for networking and wireless. There are network drops in every classroom. The server is located at the high school. LEED Silver is a goal depending on costs, however, certification may not be sought. Project team is interested in pursuing green technologies the client team visited a LEED Platinum building in Staatsburgh. This building was also an elementary school conversion project. CSArch plans to tour the facility. Renovations should modernize the facility, create a more collegiate feel, and provide a new visible/open entry. The Final Report shall include: Energy standard/s basis of design, i.e., CHIPS, LEED, and /or GBC An evaluation of different labor agreements. A description and analysis of systems including life cycle cost and initial cost: o Air conditioning o Elevator o Storm water o Window system o Sprinkler system o Exterior night lighting o Emergency communication system Miscellaneous Classes generally begin at 5:30 pm. Vehicular traffic picks up at 5:00pm. City of Kingston is generally concerned with the impact on neighbors, storm water and vehicular traffic.

DISCUSSION o Guest chairs required. (1) Registrar Area for (2-3) people o Registrar takes student information. o Must be secure and welcoming, ideally situated near student entry o Current configuration incorporates a pass through windows student and registrar are separated by wall and glass window. This layout is not welcoming or personal, and there is not seating area for a student/potential student. Reception area could have multiple functions, i.e., work study students use. The current BRC has one faculty room with mail boxes. It is not a comfortable space for faculty. Consider a space for faculty to secure personal belongings. Chris White discussed the importance of having the faculty feeling comfortable and conveying an exciting vision. Consider design solutions that improve their working environment and create engagement, such as; Outdoor teaching/lounge space. Increased natural daylight. Collegiate environment. Marianne asked that CSArch meet with Wayne Freer, Director of Safety and Security, and the City of Kingston. Thursday, January 31.

Meeting Minutes January 31, 2013 SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center Sophie Finn Relocation Project Page 3 ITEM 5 Police Academy Considerations: Ideally, PA spaces should be located on an exterior wall so that a private entry is possible. Direct access to the exterior is also desirable for outdoor training. Access to water from the exterior is required to support outdoor training. Isolation is important because of noise Classes are held both day and night. Of the calendar year, there are only 3 weeks free of courses. Enrollment is made up of 5 counties. Police Academy Space Requirements: (1) large classroom to accommodate 40 officers in training. (1) large lecture classroom for 50 this space could also accommodate smaller lectures 35-40 students. (1) Fire Arm Simulation Room for 30 (observation area in simulator room with 30 seats) could also accommodate driving simulator which requires space for 12. This space must be alarmed. Separate male and female locker rooms with showers. o 50 lockers total approximately 70% male, 30% female o Eight showers (1) Office space for (2) current office is 288 SF. (1) Additional office space if possible. Lounge space could be shared with BRC or separate. Storage for uniforms and equipment. The group discussed the idea of compiling a focus group or perhaps surveying students at the BRC to ask; what currently works and what does not work Miscellaneous Items: SUNY IT is looking at providing their Nursing Program on line and therefore, they Nursing would not be housed at the BRC. Will this facility impact the Cancer Support facility located nearby? Need to balance a secure facility with an open community environment. ACTION

Meeting Minutes January 31, 2013 SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center Sophie Finn Relocation Project Page 4 ITEM 3:00 PM MEETING Chris Marx gave a brief introduction see Item 1 from 1:30 PM Meeting. The concern about parking was discussed. There are a large amount of cars getting in and out of the facility in a short time period. Current access must be evaluated and revised to accommodate traffic. Proximity of Sophie Finn to Kingston High School is important. High School students take placement tests at BRC. Proximity allows for testing to occur as early as 3:30pm at Sophie Finn. SMART classroom technology, and sound isolation and privacy are important throughout the facility. Podium Rooms Fully equipped space with computer and screen Projector Rooms No computer but connection for laptop sound is problematic in these rooms. Space Requirements and Needs: (3) Tutoring spaces for 1 on 1 tutoring and smaller groups with a computer or wireless capability. (2) Office spaces shared offices for faculty could have dual function, i.e. tutoring space Faculty Space within the Continuing Educations Department for storing personal belongings Faculty Copy Room (1) Large Gathering Space for 100 (1) Smaller Fitness Area Cooled Server Area Wireless equipment Professional counseling area SBDC could move to kindergarten area Commons Area: o Near Student Services Remote reference librarian Remote tutoring o Near Food Service/Caf o Consider dispersed spaces for small group gathering. Conference Rooms to accommodate: o 1 large, 1 small o Board Room simulation for high school students. o General Meetings o Consider Video Conferencing Mini-library for only a hand full of books situated near the Commons or a small Resource Room. One male and one female bathroom on each wing. Caf Server Room Consider Food Truck Area for washing coffee cups, near large conference room. Wayne Freer, Director of Safety and Security, discussed the following: An all-call system that speaks to the entire campus. Lobby should be equipped with microphone or portable system. Blue light system shall be installed on campus grounds. CSArch suggested key card entry and guard at secure back door.

Meeting Minutes January 31, 2013 SUNY Ulster Business Resource Center Sophie Finn Relocation Project Page 5 Typical Requirements include: o Pull Stations, CO2 Detectors in each occupied space, and compliance with ADA. Exterior/Site Lighting upgrades will be required. County will issue the building permit yet the New York State building code is applicable. Miscellaneous Items: Student-child drop off was discussed with the intent of providing a place where enrolled students could leave their children while a course is in session. W.Freer stated that he would look into the implications of this type of service. Lighting Upgrades are required. Main Entrance should be staffed by a guard. Existing furniture at BRC will be evaluated for re-use. B. Manning discussed the likeliness of all the original Vinyl Tile to be asbestos tile and as a result would require abatement if removed. A cost savings measure could be to leave the tile in place in selective low traffic areas and to install carpet directly over. SUNY Ulster however, would prefer abating as much as possible. TBD
