Expansion of the Unity College Campus – Unity, ME

JF Scott Construction was contracted last fall as construction manager on a new 70 Bed residence hall at Unity College.  Preconstruction services were provided throughout the concept, schematic, and design development stages of the project.  The project, which was originally scheduled to have an 8 month duration, broke ground in mid-February, but the completion date remained August 20 to be ready for the fall semester.  The shortened duration required a very closely coordinated schedule.  The 17,800 square foot building was divided into 5 distinct areas allowing an overlap of subcontractors making the shortened duration achievable.  The construction took place on an active college campus requiring site logistics to minimize impact to the student body.
