Team Taps Structural Steel for University of Maine Project
Abstract
The Ferland Engineering Education and Design Center is nearing completion for a three-story, 108,000-sq-ft facility in Maine. The $78 million center will have a more than 100,000 sq-ft-long,000 square-square-foot building. The team worked closely with the faculty to develop specially configured lab furniture systems that provided a high degree of flexibility. In early construction, interconnecting the Ferland center to University of Maine’s Boardman Hall with a second-floor bridge was challenging on multiple fronts. The team had to make those connections on several fronts. “To’ve made those connections we had to survey some of the elevations. ‘To make those openings ‘to make these connections we’re sure they’ll be rated as different type of fire fire.’
