4'76 D. 4. Additions to Existing Buildings a. Small scale, incremental additions: Small scale additions to existing buildings may be possible and in some cases, desirable, to meet specific program requirements and all:tor floor space need increases. Usually, such additions should be kept to approximately 107. of existing floor area in order to make use of existing electrical and mechanical systems' reserve capacities. Costs for small scale additions which do not require major re- visions to existing systems can be kept as low as $20.00/sq. ft. Minor additions can be useful in providing improved facilities for specific programs and therefore extend overall usefulness of an existing building. In the case of the Multipurpose Center building, 1000 sq. ft could easily be added in this manner. Estimated cost - $20,000.00 The Cafeteria building could be expanded more substantially (more than 107.) because the present system is inoperable and new heating, cooling, plumbing and electrical systems will be needed in any case to make that structure habitable. Site limitations (e.g. ex- . isting oil tanks and underground electric service) confine the possible addition to approximately 1400 sq. ft of one story space. Cost would be higher (est. $25.00/sq. ft). Existing or planned parking would be adequate to serve minor additions. Such small additions would not measurably reduce the permitted floor areas of proposed new development. The principal requirement in considering incremental additions is that the existing buildings must also be upgraded and rehabilitated. Ideally, remodeling and additions should be carried out at the same time for better results. b. Large scale additions: Large scale additions to existing buildings would be limited by site conditions, program requirements and costs. Costs for large scale additions- would be the same as for new con- struction, and such floor areas would require the same numbers of parking spaces as new development. p. 9 of 12 p.
