Central Connecticut State University
Gallaudet Hall
New Britain, CT

The Gallaudet Hall project included  renovations to the pre-existing seven-story 57,000 square-foot residence hall.  The construction scope of work included a complete interior renovation, a new entry vestibule and the replacement of the existing flat roof with a trussed copper standing seam roof.  A comprehensive hazardous materials abatement was required to be completed prior to the reconstruction work.  Gallaudet Hall is located in the center of campus on a residential housing quadrangle.  Site logistics were complicated by the fact that the building is surrounded on three sides by occupied residence halls and on the fourth side is a steep embankment.

SBS was engaged to provide comprehensive Project Management as the Construction Administrator, and Building Commissioning related services. During construction SBS acted as the Connecticut Department of Public Works project representative.  SBS was responsible for monitoring the construction process including schedule, budget and construction quality and providing oversight and management of the construction project closeout.   Upon building system completion, SBS was responsible for developing and implementing HVAC system functional performance testing to verify HVAC system performance.
