Current Projects

The Renovate Science Laboratories, Phase II project at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL)

Renovation of the primary physics (Building 510) and chemistry (Building 555) laboratory buildings was completed within budget and on schedule. The project achieved CD-4, Approve Project Completion, on June 4, 2014. Beneficial Occupancy of the renovated portions of Building 555 was achieved on November 20, 2013 and Beneficial Occupancy of the renovated portions of Building 510 was achieved on February 28, 2014. The project scope included the design, selective demolition, construction, and start-up testing of building systems for the renovated areas of each building. The completed project significantly upgraded and rehabilitated existing, obsolete, and inadequate physics and chemistry research labs into modern, efficient research environments commensurate with world-class scientific research. The project is on track to earn two Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certifications, one for Building 510 (physics) and one for Building 555 (chemistry).

The Seismic Life-Safety, Modernization, and Replacement of General Purpose Buildings, Phase II project at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL)

Renovation and new construction of this project was completed within budget and ahead of schedule. The renovation of Building 74 was completed on September 25, 2012, with approval of CD-4A/B, Approve Start of Construction for Phase B. Seismic strengthening of Building 85 rectified seismic deficiencies and provided modern general purpose laboratory space used for research in energy and the environment, and was completed in July 2013. The issuance of the Beneficial Occupancy of the General Purpose Laboratory (GPL) building was the document that allowed for the CD-4C to be awarded on August 5, 2014. This project was completed nearly a year ahead of schedule and under budget while it managed to achieve its threshold key performance parameters. Notably, a LEED Gold certification for the GPL will be awarded, and a LEED Platinum certification for the Building 74 renovation has already been awarded.

The Research Support Building and Infrastructure Modernization project at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC)

Construction was completed on the Research Support Building (B052) on May 31, 2013. The project replaced more than a twelve 35-year old trailers and achieved LEED Gold certification. CD-3B, Approve Start of Construction, which includes the modernization of Building 41, was approved on June 28, 2013. This project will provide administrative and support space to integrate the accelerator science and technology communities across programmatic boundaries at SLAC.

The Energy Sciences Building project at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL)

Construction of this laboratory was completed within budget and ahead of schedule. Beneficial Occupancy of the new 173,000-square foot main building was achieved on May 21, 2013 and of a laboratory module extension on May 20, 2014. The project achieved CD-4, Approve Project Completion, on August 6, 2014. The building was designed to encourage collaboration among some of the country’s leading scientists in chemistry, materials sciences, and condensed matter physics research and will accommodate over 240 research and support staff. This new building establishes a new consolidated campus for the energy sciences at ANL. The project is on track to earn LEED Gold certification for the new building.

The Science and User Support Building at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC)

Preliminary construction work, including the demolition of an existing cafeteria, commenced in September 2013. The project is progressing ahead of schedule and within budget. Construction of foundations was completed in June 2014 and erection of the steel frame structure began in July 2014.
