Case Studies: Successfully Replacing or Renovating Deficient Science Buildings

Presenter(s): Kenneth G. DeBoer, Earl Walls Associates
Convener: Andrea Lex, University of Washington

Competition for faculty and students demands that academic science programs and facilities continuously evolve. Technology, building codes, a demand for improved quality of life, the expectations of private industry, a desire to retain and benefit from developed intellectual properties, and the evolving nature of science itself all drive this evolution. Institutions must carefully consider all opportunities and costs when considering whether to renovate or replace deficient facilities. Examine a process for comparing the cost of renovation versus replacement of science facilities and explore several successfully executed renovation and replacement projects.
This knowledge resource from SCUP is a vendor presentation presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
