The Integrated Sciences Building addition provides an increased teaching and learning capacity to the Science Mall area of Kent Statue University. The open-design building houses classrooms, instructional labs, research lab space and faculty offices for the departments of Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences and Physics.
The scope of work focused on replacement of older infrastructure and systems, and the reorganization of the program spaces within the building’s general layout. The infrastructure and system work included upgrades to air handling equipment, heating and plumbing piping replacement, HVAC controls, fire suppression systems, electrical systems, and telecommunications, and a new fire alarm system.
The Sciences building was part of a larger scope of work that included renovations to Smith Hall, Cunningham Hall, and Williams Hall.
