Academic projects incorporate a delivery path that starts with a board, mission, or donor initiative and progresses through a programming process with faculty and key senior operations staff. A new building is ultimately guided to reality through the facilities staff who enable the site to accept it and tie it to the rest of the campus infrastructure. Leggat McCall Properties supports each phase of the process from concept to reality. The case studies here describe initiatives of various scope, size, function, and complexity:
A 100,000 sf science building, including shared space for research, collaboration, and academics, which required extensive ledge blasting adjacent to occupied lab buildings, and a major utility enabling component requiring rerouting of campus infrastructure systems
A campus infrastructure renewal project, encompassing residence hall fire safety upgrades, steam, electric, water systems upgrades, roads and pedestrian walkway safety improvements, and an energy reduction program
Development of a highest and best use study for an urban university to monetize commercial land at the campus edge
Construction of a world-class dining facility in the lower level of a fully-operational historic building in the center of an urban campus
The addition of 10 floors to an existing operational teaching facility in a city setting
A residential complex including 3 buildings and 184 beds in apartment-style housing, designed with sustainable features such as locally manufactured materials, extensive natural light, energy-efficient lighting and appliances, and use of stormwater runoff and recharge chambers to reuse rainwater
