Howell Science Building North Comprehensive Renovation

The original 1969 complex consists of three separate towers with connectors for a total of approximately 127,794 square feet. The complex is composed of classrooms and offices, but it functions primarily as a laboratory building. The lab spaces are isolated and cannot sufficiently support open collaborative lab research. Howell's utility systems are near the end of their useful life. This project is intended to address deferred maintenance throughout including building systems, life safety, accessibility, code compliance and abatement. The construction must be completed in multiple phases as two of the towers will always be occupied during construction requiring continuous MEP and network service throughout the project. This project's renovation in the North tower will require sequencing/coordination to prevent adversely affecting occupancy in other areas with an 18-month construction duration. The scope of this project will also include flood proofing the South tower lower level.
