May 18, 2018 Mr. Donnie Mefford University of Kentucky Joe Craft Center 338 Lexington Avenue Lexington, KY 40506 RE: UK Memorial Coliseum – New Video Boards 201 Avenue of Champions Lexington, KY 40506 Project No. 18104 Mr. Mefford: Pursuant to your request, we have reviewed the original construction drawings you provided for the referenced project. The purpose of our review was to evaluate the ability of the existing structure to safely support the proposed display boards. Our calculations show that the existing framing can safely support the proposed loading. The calculations are based strictly on the information found in the existing construction documents and on the following assumptions: General

- The existing structural framing is in good condition with no detrimental modifications, corrosion, or other damage.

- All existing framing connections and detailing are in conformance with standard engineering practices at the time of installation.

South wall video display

- The current construction and framing configurations match the 1946 drawings. Based on the documentation that has been provided, we did not identify any renovation work performed in this area.

- No significant loading (e.g. heavy MEP equipment) other than nominal allowances from original design have been added that are supported by the four columns centered in the south end wall. See attachment for clarification of column locations.

- The new video display will be centered on the wall in plan. The 66’± display board option is supported by all four columns and the shorter display board option is supported by the two center columns.

- The total service weight of the video board and associated mounting brackets/framing does not exceed 16,500 lbs with no more than 5,000 lbs added at any of the existing column locations.

- The video board will be supported on brackets that mount directly to the existing steel columns and not to the masonry wall.

- Multiple gravity mounting points will be provided vertically at each column to distribute the loads.

North wall ribbon board

- The current construction of the existing framing and wall matches the 1989 renovation drawings.

- The total service weight of the ribbon board and associated mounting brackets/framing does not exceed 5,300 lbs.

- The weight of the ribbon board is supported directly by the existing steel beams at the level 2 observation deck floor and/or the steel columns. The existing wall construction above the windows appears to be multiple layers of gypsum board over 2 ½” metal studs fastened to the steel beams. Due to uncertainty of the various wall connections to the structure, we recommend detailing the ribbon display to be mounted directly to the steel framing or to new steel hangers fastened to the steel framing.

If any of this information or if you have reason to believe our assumptions are inaccurate, please contact our office for further guidance.

Plan locations for proposed displays For the installation of the new video displays, vendors should also consider the costs associated with the following:

- Field measuring and verification of existing steel framing prior to fabrication of display support framing.

- Removal and replacement of existing finishes and wall constructions for installation of support brackets.

- Potential relocation of MEP items (e.g. conduits and wiring) that may be uncovered and in conflict with display support framing.

- Fire safety precautions to protect existing facilities during field welding operations. Once a vendor is selected, we will review their assemblies and attachment/support details to verify that they have followed our recommendations. We are glad to assist with the connection design and/or and sub-framing design upon request. If you have any questions or need any further assistance, please call. Best regards,
