Our firm was selected to provide construction management services for a multiphase modernization program that will result in upgraded facilities for the School of Dentistry at this prestigious university. When complete, the School of Dentistry will have 216,000 sf of space dedicated to instruction, research and academic/research support. This long-term assignment encompasses new construction and renovation/expansion.
The new construction component of the project requires decommissioning and demolition of the existing on-campus dental office and dental research buildings, which have a combined area of 54,000 sf. Included in this phase is construction of a pedestrian bridge to connect the all-new Dental Sciences replacement facilities with the adjacent Bowles Center for Alcohol Studies, part of the University's School of Medicine.
As our firm entered the preconstruction phase of the Dental Sciences Building assignment, we completed a comprehensive renovation of 1960s-vintage Brauer Hall, home to the original School of Dentistry. This assignment entailed renovating a total of 103,800 sf on five floors to house new labs, classrooms, student areas, administration offices and a common area. The project included a new fire protection system throughout the entire building as well complete window replacement.
The School of Dentistry is the cornerstone for dental education, research, and service for the people of North Carolina. As the state's only dental school, it has been the primary supplier of North Carolina dentists since 1954.
