Interdisciplinary Science & Commons Building
Teaching labs, research suites and a student commons, opened between one academic year and the next.
LocationGainesville, FLSchools and universities run on dates that do not move: the first day of term, the start of semester, the first home game. The schedule has to be built backwards from those days, because students and families have already planned around them.
A university’s new science building brought chemistry, biology and physics teaching labs together with research space and a student commons. It was the institution’s largest capital commitment in decades.
Fume hoods, lab casework and dense mechanical systems crowded the back half of the job, and the fall semester did not move.
The whole job, on one line.
Start to finish, as the schedule tells it. For work still in progress, the bar moves with today's date.
Our approach, phase by phase.
The same disciplined sequence we bring to every engagement, shaped around what this project needed most.
The difference we made
Measured the only way that matters: did the project land where we said it would.
Students attended their first labs in the building on the opening day of the fall semester.
Lab trades were sequenced room by room through pull planning, cutting stacking and rework.
Lab moves and fume-hood certification were scheduled around the academic calendar.
What we brought to it
Labor, equipment and cost loading that turns a schedule into a realistic plan for crews, machines and cash.
01.01CPM SchedulingCritical Path Method schedules with complete logic, grounded durations and a critical path you can manage by, report on and defend.
01.18Commissioning & Startup SchedulingSystem-based commissioning and startup schedules that carry facilities from mechanical completion to reliable operation.
01.14Pull PlanningFacilitated pull planning that builds reliable phase plans by working back from milestones with the trades themselves.
