The schematic design phase has been completed. Gensler issued a package of full-size schematic design drawings and a design narrative for review by ACC departments, Benchmark Development, and Flintco, the construction manager at risk. The package currently is being reviewed for comment, with a deadline in the middle of the month.

Flintco is developing the first conceptual budget estimate for the project. ACC, Gensler, and Flintco will meet over the next few weeks to rectify the estimate and to make design adjustments that align with new budget estimate.

We have scheduled an Internal Steering Committee Meeting and External Committee meeting the third week of January to present the complete schematic design of the building to both groups.

We will be showing the final floor plans as approved by ACC departments, the exterior elevations, a site plan and 3-D renderings of the building on the site. Draft Rendering: ACC From SE corner

We are now embarking on the next phase of design, which is called design development. This phase will last approximately three months. During this phase, the mechanical. electrical, plumbing, data cabling, security, fire alarm, and emergency power infrastructure systems of the building will be developed.

A detailed set of construction drawings will be assembled for use by Flintco to perform another pricing exercise before the initial guaranteed maximum price (iGMP) is crafted at the completion of this phase.

We will continue to schedule meetings with ACC departments as warranted to gather information to develop the drawings.
