Opportunities to Do Business with the Universities

The electrical system, upstream of the main switchgear, was recently replaced. The scope of this project is to completely replace and modernize the electrical system, downstream of the switchgear. Opened in 1892, Foust is on the national register of historic places and is built of stone, masonry, timber beams, wood joists, plaster and lathe. Numerous partial renovations have provided a mix of more modern partitions and wall surfaces. Internal electrical system is a mixture of very old and somewhat newer circuit panels, wire types and wiring pathways. The historic nature of Foust is expected be fully honored in the design of electrical work details and installation instructions. Challenges will include a carefully planned phasing of construction sequences that accommodates occupancy during construction, multiple diverse academic and administrative departments and some classroom spaces. Designer will be expected to follow any state required regulations, processes and submissions necessary for a historically registered building.
