related prep and supply spaces, plus faculty research spaces, joined to the existing facility by a four-story atrium space. Selective

Th is is the largest academic building on campus and home to the University’s Family and Consumer Sciences, Mathematics, Nursing,
Biology, Chemistry and Food Science, Geography, Physics and Earth Science and Psychology departments; the Food Pilot Plant
Laboratory, the green house and the Child Development Laboratory.

Program
Barr & Barr programmed a seasoned team with multiple years of experience in dealing with a project involving a sensitive environment
of working within and around an occupied environment, ongoing studies, research experiments, accessibility throughout the process
and safety concerns being paramount to all parties with such limited access. Staffi ng was paramount in the team assigned to achieve
those goals and was chosen because of that commitment.

Planning, Logistics & Phasing
Th is was critical since the project was located in the central area of the campus being occupied throughout construction. As such,
the team worked preplanning operations in concert with the school identifying the school’s needs & requirements to operate
throughout the construction period. Coordinated phasing plans were created for the school to utilize in establishing available areas
by semester. In order to accomplish this, the project was broken into sub phases within a each phase for partial occupancies as the
project moved forward and were reviewed in advance with state & local authorities for occupancies. As such, it was built around
fall, winter & summer school schedules to achieve the required turnover of spaces. In total the Advance Work Package, Phase I &
Phase II consisted of 6 total sub phase turnovers during the 30 month cycle of work.
