1) Replacement of antiquated buildings systems including lighting, electrical, and IT systems that are inefficient, noncompliant, and/or insecure.
2) Replacement of deteriorating building materials including carpeting, ceiling tiles, and paint.
3) Improvement of space allocation. Some public-facing services will be relocated from upper floors to the first floor. Space vacated by the 2012 departure of the police department will be reallocated to alleviate overcrowding.
