President Gail O. Mellow College Statement and Statistics At LaGuardia Community College, students, faculty, and staff demonstrate the courage to question, the drive to experiment and the will to change, inside and outside the classroom. Students come from 162 countries and speak 126 languages natively. LaGuardia offers 56 associate degree programs in the liberal arts and sciences, business and computer science, and four certificate programs. LaGuardia graduates transfer to four-year colleges at double the national rate, and family income increases an average of 17 percent upon graduation. LaGuardia is a leader in post-secondary education with a national and international reputation for teaching excellence. LaGuardia is a federally designated Hispanic-serving institution that was recognized in 2009 by Excelencia in Education for its exemplary leadership in serving the needs of Latino and non-traditional students.

However, because each appropriates funds independently, a project's funding received may not be equally matched. The following projects have appropriations in unequal amounts from the State and City: Center 3 Façade, Ph.

III This will complete the replacement of the seriously deteriorated terra-cotta facade of Center 3 with a facade that will provide thermal and moisture-prevention controls and energy-efficient windows. The facade must be replaced if the building is to be preserved. The project will be designed in Phase I; Phase III will implement the construction on the east elevation. Completion will bring the building into compliance with New York City's Local Law 11 requirements. Anticipated Completion: July 2018 $39,000 $8,000 $31,000 Note: (B) = Major Bonded Project, (R) = Minor Rehabilitation Project A = Acquisition, D = Design, C = Construction, E = Equipment
(B) Center 3 Eighth Floor and Infrastructure This project will begin implementation of infrastructure upgrades as a part of the phased renovation of this nine-story, 883,000-GSF, 100-year old former industrial building. Upgrades will include new fire alarm systems, installation of vertical risers for electrical and air ducts, and installation of vertical circulation to support the renovation of the vacant eighth floor. The renovated floor will house the English and Communications Skills Departments and a multi-purpose conference center. Included will be the construction of 17 state-of-the-art classrooms to help address the college's pressing need for additional instructional space. New, open lounge spaces with natural light and views of Manhattan will encourage student and faculty interaction. Anticipated Completion: July 2017 (B) Center 3 Boiler and Joseph Shenker Hall Chiller Upgrades This project will replace the two old inefficient boilers in Center 3 and one chiller in Joseph Shenker Hall. The boilers have exceeded their useful lifespans and should be replaced with more efficient ones. The chiller in Joseph Shenker Hall is more than 50 years old, far exceeding its expected useful lifespan of 20 years, and will be replaced with a more energy-efficient one. Anticipated Completion: January 2015 (B) E Building and Joseph Shenker Hall Building Facades This project will address New York City's Local Law 11 issues on the facades of E Building and Joseph Shenker Hall. The facades are exhibiting signs of stress through fissure cracks, spalling, cracking at window jambs and visible efflorescence. The control joints have exceeded their useful lifespans and are separating from the brick masonry. The masonry, sealant and joints require removal/replacement and cleaning. Timely facade repairs are critical to maintaining the integrity of the buildings. Anticipated Completion: April 2017 $50,000 $17,386 $32,614 $5,000 $1,500 $3,500 Note: (B) = Major Bonded Project, (R) = Minor Rehabilitation Project A = Acquisition, D = Design, C = Construction, E = Equipment
City Reso-A Requests FY 2013 (City Council and Borough Presidents) (Costs in thousands) Center 3 Facade This project will replace the seriously deteriorated terra-cotta facade of Center 3 with one that will provide thermal and moisture-prevention controls and energy-efficient windows. The facade must be replaced if the building is to be preserved. Phase I will design the entire facade and construct the new facade on the west side of the building. Completion will bring the building into compliance with New York City's Local Law 11 requirements. C $4,000 Anticipated Completion: July 2014 Renovate Space for Humanities Department This project will construct 40 offices for the Humanities Department on the seventh floor of the Center 3 Building. The department is on the second floor of the E Building in an area that has been designated for the expansion of the college library. In addition to relocating offices, the renovation will increase the number of Department of Humanities faculty offices to accommodate new, full-time faculty. If the department remains in the E Building, the new faculty will not have offices adjacent to their colleagues. DCE $2,000 Anticipated Completion: August 2014 Replacement of Chiller in Joseph Shenker Hall This project will replace the 325-ton chiller located in Joseph Shenker Hall. The chiller was installed in the early 1970s. It has exceeded its useful life and is prone to mechanical failures. The chiller uses R11 refrigerant, which is no longer available. The equipment will be replaced by a new, energy-efficient variable refrigerant flow chiller. This project also will enable the college to use environmentally friendly refrigerant. DC $550 Anticipated Completion: December 2013 Replacement of Cooling Towers in E and C Buildings This project will replace two single-cell 600-ton cooling towers on the E Building roof and one two-cell 625 ton cooling tower on the Center 3 Building roof with higher-efficiency variable-speed drive towers. The cooling towers are critical components of the HVAC systems needed to maintain environmental and comfort control of the facilities. The college population will benefit from the replacement of the towers.
