The Schiller Coastal Studies involved development of a 7 acre campus for Bowdoin College. The six buildings totaling nearly 20,000 sf of new construction included a new dry lab, a collaboration building with commercial kitchen, and 4 residential buildings to house students and professors all designed to meet passive house standards. The 13 month project was completed in the summer of 2020 ahead of schedule while navigating the impacts of the COVID shutdowns.

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.

JF Scott Construction Company provided preconstruction and construction management services on this project, with preconstruction starting in the summer and construction starting in October 2016.  Throughout preconstruction, JF Scott Construction evaluated and advised on several potential designs, with the goal of meeting the University’s cost-per-bed goals.  Design and construction kept the future phases in consideration in order to eliminate duplicated work in those phases. This project was started on November 14, 2016 and completed on July 31, 2017.

The LEED Certified Whittier Locker Room project had a fixed completion date to be ready for the Lacrosse team to occupy for the Spring semester of 2019. JFSCC provided extensive preconstruction services to aid in material selection and constructability review to maximize efficiency in order to shorten construction duration. State and local permitting caused a 10 week delay to the building start. This was a fast track construction project, but the team pulled together and project was finished on time and under budget.

In 2019, Bowdoin College hired JF Scott Construction to provide comprehensive preconstruction services on a complete renovation of Sills Hall on the Brunswick Campus. The project consisted of major structure modifications and a complete gut and fitout of the 1950 masonry academic Building. Construction commenced in January of 2024 and is scheduled for occupancy in the spring of 2025.
