Clement & Wynn was involved in the planning of the new Science Center beginning in 1992 and with the initial programming of the facility requirements in 1994. Following a successful fund-raising program of $22 million, construction began in 1998. The $30 million project (total development budget) consisted of a three -story wing finished in the Fall of 2000, containing 106,000 SF of new undergraduate science laboratories and lab support spaces, classrooms, offices, lecture halls, meeting rooms, computer labs. The renovation of two adjoining buildings containing approximately 35,000 SF followed in the second phase and was completed twelve months later in 2001.

Located on the historic quadrangle of the campus, the Science Center was designed to comply with the contextual characteristics of the surrounding buildings, while remaining true to the technical functions of a twenty-first century science building. Tapley Hall, the former science building, was completely renovated and connected to the new science wing with a new pavilion addition.

Clement & Wynn provided full program management services, including on-site construction administration and awarding of bid packages for furnishings and moveable equipment. Using a team approach, we managed the project through all phases of design and construction documents, with detailed reviews of scope and cost at the completion of each design phase. We managed the bid and award and contract preparation. A new central plant for the science center was commissioned in 2000 and will serve two nearby existing buildings.
