Conceptual Rendering of The New Science Center at HVCC

U.W. Marx is working closely with project designer Mosaic Associates of Troy on HVCC's $54 million New Science Center at HVCC, an interdisciplinary science facility that will house the school's Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Radiological Technology and Mortuary Sciences departments, as well as technical support for the building's tenants.

As Program and Construction Manager, U.W. Marx is overseeing a scope of work that includes preconstruction and construction services for 100,000 SF of new construction in addition to complete renovation of 60,000 SF of existing space.

The New Science Center, registered with the U.S. Green Building Council and pursuing Silver-level certification under the USGBC's LEED ratings program, is scheduled for completion in 2013. The project is being completed as part of HVCC's 2009-2013 Master Facilities Plan. U.W. Marx is providing Program Management Services for the $190M construction program, which includes new construction, renovations and additions to more than six buildings on the school's Troy campus.

...and the 'Quad' on August 19, 2009.

U.W. Marx team is completing construction for this expansion project at the Hamlin-Powers dorms. Clarkson alumni on the U.W. Marx project team include Sr. Project Manager Chris Hewison, PMP, LEED(R) AP (Clarkson '95), Assistant Project Manager Dan Tuttle (Clarkson '09) and Project Engineer Mike Willemsen (Clarkson '09).

The project is very similar to last summer's aggressively-scheduled at Clarkson that added an additional floor to each of the 'Quad Dormitories. The Hamlin-Powers project will allow the college to add 76 beds, and is renovating space for more than 285 beds in the 'H-P' dorms.

U.W. Marx is again working closely with architectural firm Perkins + Will of Boston, Massachusetts. The project team is on track to complete all construction operations within a 101-day construction duration, allowing students into the residence halls prior to the start of the 2010 fall semester.
