Convention center expansion facilitates multiple, simultaneous events with unrivaled experience
Gilbane, partnering with C.D. Smith, provided construction management at-risk services for the Baird Center Expansion project. The expansion is a cutting-edge project setting new industry standards. Its dynamic design elements are unique in the convention industry, its environmental requirements meet stringent criteria, and its contractors’ qualifications are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion practices that benefit the local economy.
Project Overview
- Use of prefabricated modular construction tools reduced fit-out time of patient rooms by 25%
- Workflow was improved, and time saved through use of QR codes that linked project data via Procore
- Four months of schedule savings due to use of RediCore Modular Systems
- Prefabricated modular bathrooms reduced onsite labor to 10 trade hours per unit
Our team’s value engineering efforts for the right field improvements began at the conceptual stage of the project and incorporated several strategies to benefit the overall project budget and schedule.
