The focus of this project was to renovate and modernize two 1960’s era general science and chemistry labs in the Dorothy Rider Pool Science Center at Cedar Crest College. In addition to all new casework, finishes, lighting and technology, the project included a new vacuum system and reverse osmosis water system as well. The project opens up the lab environment to improve student/instructor interaction and safety. Lobbies, lounges and corridors in the Science Center were upgraded with new floor finishes, wood paneling, display areas and digital displays.
To meet the aggressive schedule of a summer project and have the renovations completed in time for the fall semester, the project was executed as a design-build project with Breslin Architects working closely with the contractor to ensure a successful project on time and on budget.
