Opportunity: LIBRARY RENOVATIONS

The U. S. Geological Survey, Wetland and Aquatic Research Center (WARC) has requirement to repurpose/redesign of the library to meet space utilization goals. The current space for this project has been utilized as the center library.

The existing carpet will be pulled and new high traffic one square foot designed carpet installed (color TBD). Wall will be painted (color TBD). New communications data cables will be installed along west wall (conduits) and other data drops will be installed along North and East ceilings.
