Building Information

H Wing renovation

This project will renovate the Bateman Physical Sciences Center H wing, originally constructed in 1991, to meet the current and future demands of the university’s academic and research programs. The project scope includes the comprehensive renovation of the existing wet and dry laboratories for research and instruction, classrooms, and office spaces, while maintaining the same general space types within the building.

Among the renovations are 17 wet labs, 15 dry labs and 24 office spaces. This work is essential to increase the facility’s research capabilities, extend the building’s useful life and create a more efficient and flexible learning and research environment.

The renovation will address significant building infrastructure needs, including the demolition and improvement of interior spaces, upgrades and/or full replacements of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, exterior envelope improvements and enhancements to accessibility and life-safety systems. These critical upgrades will significantly improve the reliability and capacity of building utilities, enabling the support of research initiatives.
