Science Building at Purchase College
State University of New York
Project description
The renovation of this project entails renovating approximately 107,675 SF of space within the Natural Science building at SUNY Purchase, Core Campus. This building currently houses various departments including Chemistry, Psychology, Biology, Physics, Environmental Science, Mathematics, and Computer Science. DM Engineers will develop plumbing and fire protection designs for Phase I of construction. The renovation will occur in three sequential phases starting from the Ground floor, then the first floor, followed by the combination of the second and third floors along with roof replacement in Phase III. This phased approach aims to manage noise, vibrations, and disruptions during construction. Coordination and planning will facilitate the transition from old Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, and Fire Protection systems to new systems as the building’s rehabilitation progresses.
