Delays to starting a project and complications with design are fairly typical with construction. However, the end date had zero flexibility as the team needed to deliver the structure for that year’s fall student arrival. The result was a very compressed construction schedule, on a project that had a lot of complicated design issues. The building was a gut renovation of an existing two story building and involved an addition to increase the square footage dramatically. Multiple restaurants, a student cafeteria, a two story ballroom, and multiple retail and function spaces all happened quick. Added to this, the building is the central hub for the major student media organization, including KSLU (radio), SLUTV (cable) and University News (print). Design input came from a vast array of sources and was quickly assimilated into our fast-paced design/build delivery!
