Dickinson College
New Science Center
Carlisle, PA

The project is a sustainable “green” science teaching and research laboratory facility which earned the prestigious LEED Gold Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.  The first phase of the project included the construction of an 80,000 gsf facility located adjacent to the Tome Scientific Building.  The new science facility houses Biology, Chemistry and Psychology and includes spaces such as a new main lobby for the science complex, an 80- seat lecture hall, classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, office space, an animal laboratory facility, and a greenhouse.

SBS provided comprehensive Building Commissioning services. In this capacity, SBS was directly responsible for multiple reviews of the design documentation, the development of commissioning specifications, construction checklists and performance test procedures, reviews of project submittals, and verification of construction installations and performance/oversight of the functional performance testing process.  SBS performed near-end warranty reviews and developed a comprehensive re-commissioning manual (systems manual).  SBS was responsible for producing all of the related LEED documentation to achieve the Commissioning Prerequisite 1 and the Additional Commissioning credit point.
