Sundt is preparing to renovate the San José State University’s historic Spartan Complex, a group of buildings totaling 176,062 square feet that house the school’s athletic facilities, kinesiology department and natatorium (indoor aquatic center).
The $39 million university construction project – part of a statewide effort to bring older buildings in the California State University system up to seismic code – involves renovations to existing classrooms and offices as well as upgrades within the complex’s gymnasium, natatorium, dance and judo studios, weight and locker rooms, and mechanical spaces. Plans also call for the addition of a 191-seat auditorium-style classroom, lobby and two-story office wing, which will expand the complex by 5,600 square feet.
Sustainability features also have been incorporated into the project with LEED Silver certification in mind. Completion of the project is set for December 2014.
