Project highlights
Their challenge
When the college decided to build a new Life Sciences Center, they turned to Salas O’Brien’s commissioning team to ensure the structure would be safe and compliant.
Our solution
Salas O’Brien performed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) complete commissioning services for all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and laboratory systems in the new three-story education center.
The results
The completed Life Sciences Center achieved LEED Gold certification and has enabled an expansion of the school’s health science program offerings. The building includes specialized science and wet labs, general classrooms, large lecture halls, faculty offices, stock and equipment rooms, and common areas for students—all of which service the school’s nursing, medical assisting, bioscience, gerontology, and health and wellness programs.
