| The Laboratory Science Building
was a 40,000 Sq. Ft., 4 story building and Mechanical
Penthouse. The structure was constructed of reinforced
concrete, concrete beams, steel and encased with decorative
brick, stone and wood to match the existing campus. The
facility was placed between two existing buildings with
a tunnel connecting the existing facilities. The building
consists of laboratories, lecture halls and study areas.
The installation of the building involved excavating
and removing an existing parking lot to three stories
down. Steel and wood shoring was used to provide support
for the surrounding earth walls before installation
of concrete footings and foundation could take place.
The laboratories and lecture halls are all equipped
with state of the art electronics, audio and visual
displays and computer equipment.
AFRAM Corporation duties were to provide a full time
field manager to execute the day-to-day project management
for the construction of the facility. In addition mechanical
and electrical engineers were provided to perform weekly
inspections on mechanical, electrical, plumbing and
fire protection equipment and systems. |
