Library Spirit Shop Renovation

The College of New Jersey is renovating the Library Spirit Shop located in the R. Barbara Gitenstein Library. The contract calls for a general‑contractor‑level renovation that includes demolition of existing fixtures, installation of new partition walls, ceiling and lighting upgrades, floor finishes, doors, fire‑alarm and fire‑protection updates, HVAC modifications, and telecom/data work. The project must be performed while the library remains operational, with strict noise‑control requirements and several campus shutdown windows in late May and early June. An allowance of $50,000 is set aside for unforeseen conditions, and the contractor will be responsible for temporary facilities (porta‑potty, dumpster) and final cleaning. • Demolition, removal, and off‑site disposal of existing furniture, partitions, and fixtures. • Installation of new metal‑stud partitions, acoustic ceiling tiles, upgraded lighting (junction boxes for future A1 & P1 fixtures), VCT/Rubber‑base/LVT flooring, and fire‑alarm system coordination (Honeywell). • Mechanical‑HVAC updates (new VAV units, diffusers, transfer duct, finned‑tube radiators) and telecom/data drop installations, all while maintaining library operations and adhering to campus shutdown constraints.
