Colgate University’s Olin Hall: Providing Value by Design
Publication: IFCEE 2024
ABSTRACT
Through a design-assist to design-build process, Nicholson Construction Company provided alternative permanent support of excavation solutions to Construction Manager LeChase Construction Company of Rochester, New York, for a new addition at Colgate University’s Olin Hall in Hamilton, New York. The alternative designs better met the project needs than the originally proposed permanent support of excavation solution, which limited usable space in the planned addition and included inherent risks from the construction methods of installation. The design and construction teams’ engagement led to a unique solution specifically tailored to the project needs and constraints.
