Project Description
7) Description and Rationale: Provide a brief project description and rationale (one page

maximum).
This request is for $3,750,000 in state bond funding to pre-design, design, renovate, expand, furnish and equip the facility located in Minnetonka in Hennepin County. St. Davids Center will leverage the state bond funding with $8.5 million in private contributions to double its capacity to help children with developmental needs using its unique multi-disciplinary approach. This project meets five critical public purposes: Early identification: It is well-known that early identification and services that address root causes of developmental and behavioral health needs are key to successful outcomes, yet waiting lists for assessment can be 18 months long. Early Intervention with Children with Developmental Delays and Disabilities: Approximately one in six children in the United States has a developmental disability - ranging from speech and language impairments to intellectual deficiencies and autism. Early Intervention with Autism: Autism is rising at epidemic rates in the United States. One in 88 children was diagnosed with autism in 2008. Continuum of Childrens Mental Health Services: The U.S. Surgeon General reports that nearly one in ten children suffers from a diagnosable mental health issue, yet only 20% are identified and receive services.

 High Quality Early Education: A recent study found that 40% of children entering kindergarten do not have the skills, knowledge and behaviors they need to succeed in school. Children not prepared for school are often not reading by third grade, are more likely to require costly special education services and are at high risk for drop out. Their ability to lead full lives and contribute to their communities is significantly diminished. The renovation and expansion of our Center in Minnetonka meets these critical community needs by: Autism Day Treatment Center Renovation and Expansion: Build a multidisciplinary treatment wing with a unique therapeutic design that addresses the complex developmental needs of young children with autism. Pediatric Therapy Center Renovation and Expansion: Expand and renovate St. David's Center's Pediatric Therapy Wing to meet increased community need, to reflect new research and best practices in the field and to allow for the development of specialties. Establishment of a Childrens Mental Health Clinic: Build a Childrens Mental Health Clinic with assessment, individual child and family therapy and day treatment spaces, all designed to address the complex needs of an increasing number of children with mental health problems. Early Childhood Education Center Renovation: Enlarge and renovate classrooms, kitchens and motor spaces to reflect our research-based philosophy and create calming learning spaces for children of all abilities Campus Safety and Development: Improve safety and traffic flow on our grounds while utilizing the natural features of the site for the Center's educational and therapeutic services. Arrival, Waiting and Way-Finding: Improve functionality of our entry and lobby, build central office for intake and health records, and protect client confidentiality in public spaces within the building.

This project will result in: Positive Child Outcomes: As a result of this project, St. Davids Centers clinical teams will provide multidisciplinary services to young children with developmental needs at our Center and we will launch clinical teams to work at childcare centers and schools throughout the community. St. Davids Centers capacity for early identification and intervention will increase by 94% over the next four years. Construction and Clinical and Other Professional Jobs: The St. David's Center project is scheduled for completion in 2015 and will provide 80 to 100 construction jobs throughout the year of construction as well as thirty new direct service positions annually as a result of our increased capacity. Minnesota Workforce Development: St. David's Center trains nearly 40 graduate students and professionals annually who come to the Center from throughout Minnesota and, after receiving their training, practice in many communities across our state.

8) Square Footage: For new construction projects, identify the new square footage planned. For remodeling, renovation or expansion projects, identify the total square footage of current facilities, the square footage to be renovated, and/or the new square footage to be added.
The current facility is a 90 year old 52,267 square foot school building and it will be fully renovated as an early education, intervention, treatment and training center. The project also includes a 6,350 square foot expansion.

Other Project Information 10) Project schedule. Identify the date (month/year) when construction crews are expected to first arrive on site, and the date (month/year) when construction will be completed with a certificate of occupancy.
This project will be composed of two one-year parts. Part I began summer of 2011 and was completed in the fall of 2012. Part II will begin June of 2014 and will be completed in the spring / summer of 2015.

(For facilities projects, this information will also be used to calculate an inflation cost, using the Building Projects Inflation Schedule posted on the Minnesota Management and Budget website. 11) Predesign. For projects with a total construction cost of $1.5 million or more: Has a project predesign been completed? X Yes No

If so, has the predesign been submitted to the Commissioner of Administration? Yes 12) X No

State operating subsidies. Identify any new or additional state operating dollars that will be requested for this project. (Specify the amount and year, if applicable). NONE Sustainable building guidelines. Discuss how the project meets or exceeds the Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines established under Minnesota Statutes, section 16B.325, which may be found at http://www.msbg.umn.edu/. These are now mandatory for all new buildings or major renovations receiving state bond funding.
The Minnesota Sustainable Building Guidelines will be applied to the building renovation and expansion of St. Davids Center and its surrounding site. Site and water guidelines will be implemented to restore soil and water quality throughout the site which sits adjacent to wetlands and Minnehaha Creek. The quality of storm water runoff will be improved through the use of on-site retention and filtration methods currently not utilized. In addition, energy and atmosphere guidelines will be addressed through the replacement of old mechanical systems. The indoor environment, a critical component of the learning and therapy setting at St. Davids Center will comply with indoor environmental quality guidelines by replacing outdated light fixtures, adding new spaces to the facility that will be filled with natural daylight and implementing the use of low-emitting materials during the construction process to create a healthier environment for children and staff.

Sustainable building designs. Explain the extent to which the project will use sustainable building designs, if applicable.
Through the renovation and new construction at St. Davids Center sustainable design strategies will be implemented. To reduce energy consumption, a combination of a new energyefficient mechanical units, temperature controls and occupancy sensors will replace outdated systems. Efforts to utilize building materials with recycled content and durable materials with a lifecycle of 15+ years will be implemented where appropriate. In addition, regional exterior materials such as stone and masonry will be incorporated. The project will also include implementation of sustainable site design practices including storm water management systems and native plantings.
