The University of Rhode Island (URI) has a rapidly growing Chemistry Department. Over 6,000 students take chemistry each year and nearly 40% of all degree programs require at least one chemistry class. To accommodate this growth, URI has constructed a new $70 million, 134,623 square foot Chemistry Building. After having been selected as the commissioning agent for the new Hillside Residence Hall and Student Wellness Center, Hallam-ICS was chosen to be the commissioning agent for this highly visible and important project.
We all know the importance of time management. Ineffective use of valuable time can turn a project into an un-profitable drain on a company’s budget. So why don’t commissioning professionals just manage their time effectively and make every project a winner?
With so many members on every commissioning project who all have varying agendas, the best solution is to communicate at every possible opportunity. This builds stronger relationships, saves time and produces more successful and profitable commissioning projects.
The Krishna P. Singh Center for Nanotechnology (CFN) is the region’s premier facility for advanced research, education and innovative public private partnerships in nanotechnology. The building has been recognized nationally and internationally with 2013 American and International Architecture Awards. The facility consists of four floors. Major science program components include a 10,000 GSF Characterization Suite with numerous large scanning and transmission electron microscopes (TEM), a 10,000 GSF cleanroom Fabrication Suite, and ten laboratory modules for optics and chemistry research.
