Parmly Billings Library Feasibility Study ii

Billings, Montana
Executive Summary:
At the request of Bill Cochran of Billings Parmly Library, CTA performed a feasibility
study to relocate the Parmly Billings Library into the existing downtown Gainan’s
building. The extents of the feasibility study included creating a new library program,
building assessment of the existing Gainan’s building, preliminary plans, 3D massing
model, and cost estimate. Because Gainan’s wishes to maintain a downtown presence on
the same site, CTA also included a program and cost estimate of their needs in the study.
This feasibility study is intended to help determine if relocating the existing Parmly
Billings Library to the existing downtown Gainan’s building is both feasible and
beneficial for all parties involved. This study will provide useful information to both
parties to help facilitate discussions for this potential project.
*Vision notes from Parmly Billings Library Board Meeting held March 12, 2009 are
located in the Appendix at the end of this study.
Parmly Billings Library Feasibility Study 1

Billings, Montana
Program:
Library -
Programming meetings with the Library included reviewing previous studies conducted
for the Library and meeting with key staff members to discuss specific needs. Possible
future Library branches were also discussed and taken into account in the final program.
Once finalized, the new Libraries program showed that the size of the existing Gainan’s
building would be inadequate without expansion. The current Gainan’s building has
approximately 33,500 sf of space including the greenhouse located on the South side of
the building. An addition of approximately 27,000 sf would be required to fulfill the
libraries programmatic needs. This addition would be added to the North side of the
existing building and would include expanding the basement, main and second floor.
This new addition would also require redesigning the North end of the site to provide
access and parking.
Gainan’s -
Programming meetings were also held with Gainan’s. Early discussions with Gainan’s
revealed the need to explore two separate options of where the Gainan’s retail space
would be located. The first option provides retail space for Gainan’s within the extents of
the Library. The second option provides a separate building to the North of the Library.
Gainan’s program needs for either option remained the same along with their need to
have a distinct identity to set it apart from the Library.

Building Assessment:
A building assessment of the existing Gainan’s building was done in order to understand
the extents of the work needed for the change in building function.
The existing building is wood construction and structurally designed for floor loading of
100 lbs/sf. This is a higher floor loading capacity than standard office buildings but is
not adequate for high stack loading. Book stacks located in the existing building would
be limited in height to remain under the design load capacity. The proposed addition’s
structure would be steel with concrete floors to allow for the additional floor load
required for library stacks.
The existing mechanical and electrical systems are not adequate for the size of the new
building and would need to be replaced with the exception of a few electrical panels. The
proposed new mechanical system would be a VAV system with a rooftop air-handler
contained within a penthouse on the roof. A new electrical transformer would be needed
for the power requirement of the new building along with new light fixtures and layout to
better accommodate the new building layout.
The existing site will need to be modified in order to accommodate the new building
function and layout. The Southern portion of the site will be able to stay primarily intact
with the majority of the major site work being done on the North side of the existing
building.

Billings, Montana
Preliminary Design:
Library -
The preliminary design of the new Library was back and forth effort between the Library
and CTA. One larger factor in the design was loading and storage of the Bookmobile.
One option was to have the Bookmobile be stored off site and loaded on the South side of
the building using an inflatable rail seal for protection from the elements. The other
option utilized a garage on the North side of the building for both loading and storage of
the Bookmobile.
The greenhouse space was given careful consideration given its existing use. Early on,
Chuck Gainan expressed his concern that the greenhouse space may need to be addressed
mechanically to maintain a comfortable temperature level. A large component of the
greenhouse’s environmental quality is its roof structure. After looking at several options,
it was decided that in order to provide a comfortable space with still maintaining the
openness of the greenhouse, the existing greenhouse roof would need to be replaced. The
new roof would implement a ridge skylight down the entire length of the roof. This
would allow large amounts of natural light to penetrate into the space while better
controlling heat gain and allowing for better light control in the large meeting space on
the West end of the greenhouse. Replacing the greenhouse roof is also the least
expensive alternative to address drift loading which was not required to be addressed
when this building was originally designed.
The floor layouts for the programmed Library spaces were determined from various
meetings with the Library.
The Main Floor would consist of spaces such as the A/V Collection and New Release
which are high traffic spaces, Large Type which needs to be easily located by the visually
impaired and Youth Services which holds numerous public programs. The main
Circulation Desk would be located adjacent to the main entrance to control pedestrian
flow and overall building security. A large Reading Space would be located just inside
the greenhouse with “Friends” Retail and a potential coffee space. A Large Public
Meeting Room would be located at the West end of the greenhouse with public toilets
serving the entire greenhouse space to allow for use during off Library hours.
The Basement would house a large portion of the Non-Public spaces such as Access
Services, Reference Services & Offices, Mending & Technical Services, Custodial
Supply/Work Area and the “Friends” Work Space. The main Mechanical and Electrical
Rooms would be located in the basement as well. Adult Fiction, Reading Space and a
smaller public Conference Room would account for the public areas located in the
Basement.
The Second Floor would primarily accommodate the research portion of the Library
program. Spaces such as Non-Fiction, Newspaper/Magazine, and the Montana &
Genealogy Room would make up a large portion of the second floor public space along
with the majority of the computer services such as the Computer Lab and Computer
Teaching Area. The Young Adult Area is located on this floor to allow separation

Billings, Montana
between the teen and youth areas and would be designed to allow for public exposure
while providing a sense of privacy. The Library Staff Offices would be located on the
second floor as well as an Administrative Workspace, a small Circulation Desk and
additional Reading Space.
All floors are connected by an open staircase which allows natural daylight to penetrate
into each floor. This staircase would be the main circulation of the building with a new
elevator located just North of the staircase. Public restrooms would also be located on
each floor along with Public Access Catalog Computers and General Public Seating.
Gainan’s -
The Gainan’s layout was done as two separate options.
The first option has Gainan’s located within the Library shell with Library space
extending above and below. Gainan’s would be located on the North side of the building
extending towards 6th Street which would allow for more design opportunity for creating
it’s own identity while also allowing for prominent public exposure. The greenhouse
space would extend off the North side further defining Gainan’s presence on the site.
The main entrance and parking would be off the East side with delivery access off the
alley to the West. Gainan’s mechanical service would be fed off the Library’s
mechanical system served by individual zones. Electrical service could be separately
metered and billed.
The second option is a freestanding Gainan’s building located on the North side of the
site. This option would allow Gainan’s design to be completely independent of the
Library including its mechanical and electrical systems. The main entrance and parking
would be located on the South side of the building with delivery access off the alley to
the West. The greenhouse space is shown directly connected to the main entrance on the
North side creating a natural separation between public and non-public space while also
drawing attention due to its prominent exposure to the street.

Cost Estimate:
The cost estimate for this feasibility study is divided into two separate options with those
options being separated into four individual pieces. The four pieces of each option
included construction of the New Addition Shell and Site, Infrastructure Upgrades to
Existing Gainan’s Building, Library Tenant Improvements and either Gainan’s Tenant
Improvements or Gainan’s Building & Site depending on the option.
Research for the cost estimate information for this project was a combination of methods.
Information from Means building cost square foot number, past project cost and pricing
information from a local contractor all played a role in determining our final square
footage costs. Taking all this information into account, we derived division square
footage costs which were then used to help compose the cost of each piece of the option.
The cost for each piece is broken down on a separate sheet showing the square foot
numbers used along with any lump sum amounts needed for items specific to that piece.
In both the New Addition Shell and the Infrastructure Upgrades to Existing Building it
was assumed that the space would be finished to leasable shell standards. Because
specific information as to which party would be financing the cost of the infrastructure
upgrades to the existing building, these costs were broken out separate. The cost to
upgrade the infrastructure remains the same in both options as the total square footage
remains the same.
The Library Tenant Improvements is the cost for the Library to fit out both the existing
building and new addition to fit its needs. This number remains the same in both options
as the total square footage of Library space remains the same.
Option 1 includes the Gainan’s building within the Library building shell. Costs for the
New Addition Shell and Site was slightly more in this option due to the additional square
footage of exterior wall needed to include Gainan’s within the shell of the building.
Since this option includes Gainan’s within the building shell, the Gainan’s Tenant
Improvements is the cost for Gainan’s to fit out their space to fit their needs.
Option 2 separates Gainan’s into their own building on the North end of the site. Costs
for the New Addition and Shell are slightly less in this option since only the Library is
contained within the addition shell. All construction costs for the separate Gainan’s
building and associated site are included in the Gainan’s Building & Site number.

Preliminary Project Schedule:
A preliminary project schedule was created for this project to illustrate the difference
between a Fast Track project schedule and a Conventional project schedule.
The Fast Track schedule assumes construction of the New Shell to start approximately a
year prior to Gainan’s vacating the existing building. The Conventional schedule
assumes construction of the New Shell to start possibly a month before Gainan’s vacating
the existing building. While the Fast Track schedule has the project being completed
approximately five months earlier than the Conventional, it’s overall construction time is
approximately four months longer which means additional costs for General Conditions
for the contractor. It would also add costs due to the contractor having to work around
the existing mechanical space located on the NW side of the existing building.
Discussions with a local contractor confirmed that doing the project in the Conventional
manner would be much cleaner, easier and more cost effective for everyone.
*All cost estimates illustrated in this study have assumed the Conventional
approach to this project.
