Results of the Housing Building Condition Evaluation Survey at the University of Georgia.
Casey, John M.
A complete campus building condition evaluation survey was conducted at the University of Georgia in 1989 and results for the housing department were analyzed. The survey design was based on a model developed by Harlan Bareither at the University of Illinois that separates building deficiencies into seven general headings. Data were collected at weekly meetings held for 3 hours each over several months. The dollar value of all necessary capital renewal and deferred maintenance work was estimated on a building by building basis. The total analysis of housing department buildings covered 47 buildings comprising over 2 million square feet. The estimate for each building was compared to the total replacement value of the building and the resultant percentage deficiency recorded. The final analysis found that: (1) roof and window replacements totaled almost $3 million; (2) new fixed equipment and elevators totaled almost $5 million; (3) plumbing and fire protection waste piping and sprinkler systems totaled almost $4.5 million; (4) replacement of heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems equipment and controls required over $18 million; and (5) new wiring and fire alarms needs were estimated to require $3 million. A conclusion notes that other colleges and universities may expect deficiency percentages similar to these and that the Bareither model was very thorough. (Contains 45 references.) (JB)
