Description: My role as a client’s representative in charge of managing all aspects of the construction process was to ensure the laboratories met strict technical specifications and building code. Another particular aspect of this project was to address the logistics of a construction in a building while it is still in operation, in this case, thousands of students circulating in and out of classrooms and hallways.
