DESCRIPTION
This is the
largest CMC project of its type in South Florida.
The $40 million,
800,000-square-foot project included 11 auditoriums with
distance-learning video conferencing and computer hook-up
capabilities; a full medical library; wet laboratory teaching
classrooms; a teaching clinic component; areas for administration,
food service, student services, a museum, nurses and custodial
services; its own physical plant; and a connected parking garage for
1,500 spaces.
ACAI’s design of
the Health Professions Division Campus at Nova Southeastern
University, considered to be an architectural cornerstone of what is
now one of the 10 largest independent universities in the United
States, is an excellent example of an architect putting in the
homework on the front end; carefully listening to a client’s needs,
expectations and aspirations from design and functionality
standpoints; and connecting the pieces to offer an ultra-efficient
and extremely high-tech environment for its users.
The project was
delivered two weeks ahead of schedule in Construction
Manager-as-Constructor Fast-Track method.
Full-time
Construction Engineering Inspections were provided by ACAI and
contractor/vendor/sub coordination meetings were conducted on a
weekly basis -- in addition to a weekly on-site Owner’s meetings. |
