Horton Building--UNDERWAY
A contract was awarded May 2010 to Robertson Construction Services of Heath for construction of a combination office and clean room building totaling 43,461 sf. The design, by architect Wachtell & McAnally of Newark, consists of a two story brick structure and will include an 8,200 sf space for installation of up to five state-of-the-art clean rooms. The building has been designed to meet LEED standards for Shell and Core and is expected to be the first new commercial office building of its type in Central Licking County.
Construction is underway and looking to occupancy by second quarter 2011. Follow progress online at Facebook.com/HortonBuilding.
Radiac Lab Fence Replacement--UNDERWAY
A&B Fence of Newark is replacing three gates and the west and southwest portions of the fence around the Bionetics' Radiac Lab. The project replaces aging systems and includes removal of barbed wire atop the fence, a provision no longer required. Work began August 16, 2010.
Water Tower Decommissioning--UNDERWAY
With the opening of a new water tower in Heath, the COATC tower will no longer be needed. The first of a series of moves which heads toward eventual removal has begun. Kel-Par Company of Newark is underway with a plan to relocate a pump station inside Building 4 and will time valving off the water tower to the start-up of the new Heath water tower which is expected to come on-line in mid-to-late August.
When the new tower comes online, water pressure improvements should be most notable in the Metrology Building and buildings outside of Building 4.
Utility Extension--UNDERWAY
A project has been awarded to Steve Salyer Electric to provide a route for electrical and telecommunications lines to enter the West side of Aerospace Center base campus. Upon project completion, conduit will be in place for AEP to bring service directly to the new Horton building and future building sites. The most visible aspects of this project will be seen parallel to the walking path on the South side of the Base.
