Piedmont State University approached us to renovate an aging academic building, modernizing classrooms, teaching labs, and shared spaces while adjacent buildings remained in active use throughout the semester.
Our team phased construction around the university’s academic calendar, upgrading infrastructure and finishes so the renovated wing was fully ready — and fully compliant — before the next semester began.
The university required the renovated wing ready for the next semester while adjacent buildings remained in active use.
We isolated the construction zone with dedicated access and sequenced the loudest work to align with the university's semester break.
Existing lab spaces lacked the power and ventilation capacity needed for updated teaching equipment.
We upgraded electrical and HVAC infrastructure in the lab wing ahead of finish work, avoiding rework once new equipment arrived.
The renovation had to bring the entire wing up to current ADA accessibility standards, including restrooms and entryways.
We coordinated with the university's accessibility office early in design to confirm compliant layouts before construction began.
The renovated wing opened on schedule for the start of the semester, with fully upgraded labs and classrooms. Piedmont State University has since engaged our team for a second academic building renovation.
Let's talk through your scope, timeline, and budget — and see how it could look in our portfolio next.
