Learning Resource Center
You’ll recognize a true leader, when their feet are to the fire
When BRJ was brought on board at the Learning Resource Center, outside funding was in jeopardy. BRJ quickly pushed the project through the scope and bid process to secure funding. Anticipating issues during construction due to the status of the plans at bid time, BRJ worked with the Construction Managers to implement a system that resolved design and cost issues effectively and efficiently. BRJ’s quick acting decisions, foresight, and experience proved to be the rescuer to this almost lost project.
Description
Replaces a 50-year-old library facility and consolidates outdated learning labs from various areas of the existing campus. The building features a dramatic reading room with a soaring, vaulted glass roof. The completed project, placed at the central quad, will provide a symbolic focal point for the learning environment of the campus.
