<br />2023 Building Inspection Page 1 <br /> <br />General Description <br />The building consists of 2 floors over a basement. Gross Square footage is the following: <br /> Lower level (Basement) Level 1 Level 2 GSF <br /> 12,050 sf 12,050 sf 8,250 sf 32,350 sf <br />Originally built as the Emerson H Smith Grade School in 1930, the building was renamed after the Fargo <br />Park District acquired the property in 1996. <br />The lower level wall construction is cast in place concrete, with upper walls built of solid masonry approx. <br />10”-12” thick finished with ¾” plaster. Intermediate floors are a cast in place concrete pan joist system <br />approx. 12”-16” deep with concrete columns and beams. The roof structure consists steel bar joists with <br />a metal lath and concrete topping deck supported by steel beams and columns. Original interior walls are <br />primarily non-bearing pyrobar (gypsum) blocks or clay block with a plaster finish. See photos A57-A63. <br />Newer walls are either wood or metal studs with gypsum wallboard. Remodeling within the existing <br />classrooms has been fairly minor (just adding dividing walls) as evident of the presence of the original <br />built-in casework and chalkboards that are still found in many of the spaces. <br /> Robert D Johnson Building Inspection <br />Fargo, North Dakota <br /> <br /> Building Data <br /> Year Built: 1930 <br /> Total Floor Area: Approx 32,000 SF Total, 3 floor levels <br /> <br /> Number of Stairs: 2 (one each at common areas of main hallways) <br /> Elevator: 1 unit near north entry <br /> IBC Classification B Occupancy <br />Non-Sprinklered <br /> Zoning SR-2 <br />Current commercial use is conditional based on zoning designation.
