View Photos |
90,500 SF, Northrup Hall,
San Antonio, TX
Owner: Trinity University
Architect: Robert A.M. Stern
Method of Delivery: NEG/CM-at-Risk
Start/Completion: 7/02 - 03/04
Trinity University's Northrup Hall is an Administration
and Academic Building that was completed in March 2004. It is the centerpiece of the 117-acre campus, providing
a modern 90,000 SF structure for classrooms and academic
and administrative offices. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern Architects,
the building creates a new "front porch" to the Trinity
campus. Construction of Northrup Hall dramatically modified
the entrance to campus, creating a stronger sense of arrival
and an immediately recognizable symbol that joins with the University's
Murchison Tower and the Margarite B. Parker Chapel as the primary
architectural focal points of the campus.The compact, four-story
building contains two wings (East and West) connected by a central
lobby on each floor and a glass-enclosed grand staircase that
runs through the entire building.
The building houses several
of the University's administrative offices, including the Office
of the President, the academic departments of English and Modern
Languages and Literatures, several classrooms, and a 99-seat
lecture hall. This project also took place on an occupied operational
campus. |

Priority Plan
Prairie View A&M University |
Priority Plan
Owner: Texas A&M University System
Architect: VLK
Method of Delivery: CSP
Completion: 07/04 - 12/05
The Prairie View A&M University - Priority Plan project
consists of a campus wide MEP infrastructure rehabilitation
and upgrade. Specific scopes of work include the addition of
an 1,100 ton chiller, boiler upgrades, the excavation and replacement
of significant amounts of chilled water and steam piping, as
well as the replacement of light fixtures throughout 20 existing
campus buildings.
All of the work was performed on an occupied and active
university campus. Because the work was spread out across the
entire campus, careful attention was paid to student, faculty
and visitor safety and maintaining adequate barricades and construction
isolation barriers. Throughout the construction process, we continually communicated and coordinated with campus operations
and physical plant staff so that existing services and utility
locations were maintained. Because this was an active campus
that operates 24/7/365, necessary utility outages were planned
for after hours and weekends when usage is at an absolute minimum. |

Kyle Field North End Zone Expansion
Texas A&M University |
382,000 SF, North End Zone Expansion
Owner: Texas A&M University System
Architect: Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc.
Method of Delivery: CSP
Completed: 02/00
Constructed at the north end of Kyle Field, the Kyle Field North
End Zone Expansion increased possible seating at Texas A&M
University football games from 68,000 to over 80,000 12th Man
Aggie Fans. "The Zone" replaced the existing 70 year
old, single level horseshoe that contained seating for only
10,000 fans; with a new 5-level, 22,000 seat, and luxury suite
facility. "The Zone" project consisted of a 5-level,
stadium expansion, with capacity for 22,000 seats, 20 luxury
suites, and Club facilities. The structure included cast-in-place
concrete raker beams, which support the precast concrete seating
risers on the upper deck, including a cantilevered section,
which extends 32 feet beyond the north building line. The cantilevered
beams located 158 feet above grade were formed with Symons plate
girder forms supported only by two (2) concrete columns. Bartlett
Cocke General Contractors self-performed all of the concrete
work on this project.
This project was originally bid under the traditional delivery
methods, but all bids came in over budget. The project was then
put back on the street for Competitive Sealed Proposal under
the new alternate delivery methods allowed by the passing of
Senate Bill One. Again, all of the price proposals exceeded
the budget established by the University. Texas A&M University
then selected Bartlett Cocke General Contractors as the most
qualified proposer and began negotiations with our firm that
included post award value engineering. We identified several
value engineering ideas that allowed for sufficient cost savings
to bring the project back into the University's budget. And
even with the front end delays caused by the budget problems,
Bartlett Cocke General Contractors provided all of the lower
level and club level seating as originally scheduled.
