Scope Of Work

The Stanford ChEM-H and SNI Building is a 235,000 SF research laboratory building that collocates the Stanford Neurosciences Institute (SN) and Chemistry, Engineering Medicine and Human Health (ChEM-H). The research complex brings together chemists, biologists, engineers and clinicians to provide space for groundbreaking research in biochemistry and neuroscience. The facility includes Animal research facility and vivarium » Wet and dry laboratories Computational/theory research laboratories Maker spaces » Large multi-purpose meeting space » Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers » Magnetic resonance imaging Common/recreation space Elliptical courtyard »Principal investigator offices » Pub/café This project used design-assist techniques to partner with several major subcontractors early within the design process. This early collaboration effort was further developed utilizing an extensive BIMNDC model for coordination and construction purposes, and utimately allowed the use of off-site construction techniques for several complex MEP systems for an expedited installation.
