Executive Summary:At the request of Bill Cochran of Billings Parmly Library, CTA performed a feasibility

study to relocate the Parmly Billings Library into the existing downtown Gainans

building. The extents of the feasibility study included creating a new library program,

building assessment of the existing Gainans building, preliminary plans, 3D massing

model, and cost estimate. Because Gainans wishes to maintain a downtown presence on

the same site, CTA also included a program and cost estimate of their needs in the study.

This feasibility study is intended to help determine if relocating the existing Parmly

Billings Library to the existing downtown Gainans building is both feasible and

beneficial for all parties involved. This study will provide useful information to both

parties to help facilitate discussions for this potential project.

*Vision notes from Parmly Billings Library Board Meeting held March 12, 2009 are

located in the Appendix at the end of this study.

Program:

Library -Programming meetings with the Library included reviewing previous studies conducted

for the Library and meeting with key staff members to discuss specific needs. Possible

future Library branches were also discussed and taken into account in the final program.

Once finalized, the new Libraries program showed that the size of the existing Gainansbuilding would be inadequate without expansion. The current Gainans building has

approximately 33,500 sf of space including the greenhouse located on the South side of

the building. An addition of approximately 27,000 sf would be required to fulfill the

libraries programmatic needs. This addition would be added to the North side of theexisting building and would include expanding the basement, main and second floor.

This new addition would also require redesigning the North end of the site to provideaccess and parking.

Gainans -Programming meetings were also held with Gainans. Early discussions with Gainans

revealed the need to explore two separate options of where the Gainans retail space

would be located. The first option provides retail space for Gainans within the extents ofthe Library. The second option provides a separate building to the North of the Library.

Gainans program needs for either option remained the same along with their need to

have a distinct identity to set it apart from the Library.

Building Assessment:A building assessment of the existing Gainans building was done in order to understand

the extents of the work needed for the change in building function.

The existing building is wood construction and structurally designed for floor loading of

100 lbs/sf. This is a higher floor loading capacity than standard office buildings but is

not adequate for high stack loading. Book stacks located in the existing building would

be limited in height to remain under the design load capacity. The proposed additions

structure would be steel with concrete floors to allow for the additional floor load

required for library stacks.

The existing mechanical and electrical systems are not adequate for the size of the new

building and would need to be replaced with the exception of a few electrical panels. The

proposed new mechanical system would be a VAV system with a rooftop air-handler

contained within a penthouse on the roof. A new electrical transformer would be needed

for the power requirement of the new building along with new light fixtures and layout to

better accommodate the new building layout.

The existing site will need to be modified in order to accommodate the new building

function and layout. The Southern portion of the site will be able to stay primarily intact

with the majority of the major site work being done on the North side of the existing

building.


10/40

Preliminary Design:

Library -The preliminary design of the new Library was back and forth effort between the Library

and CTA. One larger factor in the design was loading and storage of the Bookmobile.

One option was to have the Bookmobile be stored off site and loaded on the South side of

the building using an inflatable rail seal for protection from the elements. The other

option utilized a garage on the North side of the building for both loading and storage of

the Bookmobile.

The greenhouse space was given careful consideration given its existing use. Early on,Chuck Gainan expressed his concern that the greenhouse space may need to be addressed

mechanically to maintain a comfortable temperature level. A large component of the

greenhouses environmental quality is its roof structure. After looking at several options,

it was decided that in order to provide a comfortable space with still maintaining the

openness of the greenhouse, the existing greenhouse roof would need to be replaced. The

new roof would implement a ridge skylight down the entire length of the roof. This

would allow large amounts of natural light to penetrate into the space while better

controlling heat gain and allowing for better light control in the large meeting space onthe West end of the greenhouse. Replacing the greenhouse roof is also the least

expensive alternative to address drift loading which was not required to be addressed

when this building was originally designed.

The floor layouts for the programmed Library spaces were determined from various

meetings with the Library.

The Main Floor would consist of spaces such as the A/V Collection and New Releasewhich are high traffic spaces, Large Type which needs to be easily located by the visually

impaired and Youth Services which holds numerous public programs. The main

Circulation Desk would be located adjacent to the main entrance to control pedestrian

flow and overall building security. A large Reading Space would be located just inside

the greenhouse with Friends Retail and a potential coffee space. A Large Public

Meeting Room would be located at the West end of the greenhouse with public toilets

serving the entire greenhouse space to allow for use during off Library hours.

The Basement would house a large portion of the Non-Public spaces such as Access

Services, Reference Services & Offices, Mending & Technical Services, Custodial

Supply/Work Area and the Friends Work Space. The main Mechanical and Electrical

Rooms would be located in the basement as well. Adult Fiction, Reading Space and a

smaller public Conference Room would account for the public areas located in the


11/40

between the teen and youth areas and would be designed to allow for public exposure

while providing a sense of privacy. The Library Staff Offices would be located on the

second floor as well as an Administrative Workspace, a small Circulation Desk andadditional Reading Space.

All floors are connected by an open staircase which allows natural daylight to penetrate

into each floor. This staircase would be the main circulation of the building with a new

elevator located just North of the staircase. Public restrooms would also be located on

each floor along with Public Access Catalog Computers and General Public Seating.

Gainans -The Gainans layout was done as two separate options.

The first option has Gainans located within the Library shell with Library space

extending above and below. Gainans would be located on the North side of the building

extending towards 6th

Street which would allow for more design opportunity for creating

its own identity while also allowing for prominent public exposure. The greenhouse

space would extend off the North side further defining Gainans presence on the site.

The main entrance and parking would be off the East side with delivery access off the

alley to the West. Gainans mechanical service would be fed off the Librarys

mechanical system served by individual zones. Electrical service could be separately

metered and billed.

The second option is a freestanding Gainans building located on the North side of the

site. This option would allow Gainans design to be completely independent of the

Library including its mechanical and electrical systems. The main entrance and parkingwould be located on the South side of the building with delivery access off the alley to

the West. The greenhouse space is shown directly connected to the main entrance on the

North side creating a natural separation between public and non-public space while also

drawing attention due to its prominent exposure to the street.

Cost Estimate:

The cost estimate for this feasibility study is divided into two separate options with those

options being separated into four individual pieces. The four pieces of each optionincluded construction of the New Addition Shell and Site, Infrastructure Upgrades to

Existing Gainans Building, Library Tenant Improvements and either Gainans Tenant

Improvements or Gainans Building & Site depending on the option.

Research for the cost estimate information for this project was a combination of methods.

Information from Means building cost square foot number, past project cost and pricing

information from a local contractor all played a role in determining our final square

footage costs. Taking all this information into account, we derived division squarefootage costs which were then used to help compose the cost of each piece of the option.

The cost for each piece is broken down on a separate sheet showing the square foot

numbers used along with any lump sum amounts needed for items specific to that piece.

In both the New Addition Shell and the Infrastructure Upgrades to Existing Building it

was assumed that the space would be finished to leasable shell standards. Because

specific information as to which party would be financing the cost of the infrastructure

upgrades to the existing building, these costs were broken out separate. The cost toupgrade the infrastructure remains the same in both options as the total square footage

remains the same.

The Library Tenant Improvements is the cost for the Library to fit out both the existing

building and new addition to fit its needs. This number remains the same in both options

as the total square footage of Library space remains the same.

Option 1 includes the Gainans building within the Library building shell. Costs for the

New Addition Shell and Site was slightly more in this option due to the additional square

footage of exterior wall needed to include Gainans within the shell of the building.

Since this option includes Gainans within the building shell, the Gainans Tenant

Improvements is the cost for Gainans to fit out their space to fit their needs.

Option 2 separates Gainans into their own building on the North end of the site. Costs

for the New Addition and Shell are slightly less in this option since only the Library is

contained within the addition shell. All construction costs for the separate Gainans

building and associated site are included in the Gainans Building & Site number.

Preliminary Project Schedule:A preliminary project schedule was created for this project to illustrate the difference

between a Fast Track project schedule and a Conventional project schedule.

The Fast Track schedule assumes construction of the New Shell to start approximately a

year prior to Gainans vacating the existing building. The Conventional schedule

assumes construction of the New Shell to start possibly a month before Gainans vacating

the existing building. While the Fast Track schedule has the project being completed

approximately five months earlier than the Conventional, its overall construction time is

approximately four months longer which means additional costs for General Conditions

for the contractor. It would also add costs due to the contractor having to work aroundthe existing mechanical space located on the NW side of the existing building.

Discussions with a local contractor confirmed that doing the project in the Conventional

manner would be much cleaner, easier and more cost effective for everyone.

*All cost estimates illustrated in this study have assumed the Conventional

approach to this project.
