University of Delaware
Multiple Building Renovations & Improvements
Multi-Disciplined Architecture & Engineering Expertise Inspires Confidence for Multiple University Projects
Problem
The University of Delaware is constantly evolving its campus to meet the needs of its academic programs. The university maximizes value of buildings through renovation projects that make space more student-centered, energy efficient, and spacious.
The university has many complex renovation projects that require integrating old architecture and old mechanical systems with new architectural updates and efficient systems. The university’s projects are also challenged by tight timelines as they don’t like updates to affect academic schedules.
Solution
StudioJAED has been the chosen architecture & engineering firm to complete many complex renovations at the University of Delaware. Multi-disciplined expertise enabled our team to handle complex renovations that involve engineering, architecture, mechanical, plumbing, and design challenges. Because we keep this expertise in-house, we are able to stick to tight timelines and budgets.
We have partnered with the University of Delaware to complete many renovation projects. Our services have included:
- Building Envelope Replacements
- Roof Replacements
- 2 Elevator Improvement Projects
- Classroom Renovations
- HVAC and Mechanical System Updates
- Architecture Design Services
We’ve made these updates to multiple buildings across campus, including McKinly Lab, Sharp Lab, Smith Hall, Pearson Hall, and Graham Hall.
To keep projects on the university’s tight schedule, StudioJAED relies on our diligent project management experience and new technologies. We have relied heavily on use of Virtual Reality to clearly communicate design plans to university administrators. Virtual reality helps gain design consensus and approval early, facilitate accurate estimations, and move projects to the construction phase sooner.
Impact
StudioJAED’s multi-disciplined expertise and proven approach has made us a trusted architecture and engineering partner for the University of Delaware. The university knows that complex projects that require a combination of architecture design and engineering updates on an accelerated timeline can be successfully completed using StudioJAED’s approach.
Responsible innovation is a key component of StudioJAED’s approach. We are able to find efficient solutions that fit into the university’s budget while maximizing the space for present and future use.
