We
were presented with a two part challenge at Lamson library at
Plymouth State College. The first was to save money on the projected
$8 M building construction budget while maintaining full function
and creating a facility with character. The second challenge was to
meld three generations of construction into one cohesive 88,000 s.f.
whole that would house the state’s largest library collection for
the next twenty years.
The cost of construction was reduced by more than $2 M to slightly
under $6 M. Teamed with Engleberth Construction, the project was
delivered on schedule and in a manner that President Wharton
described as “ the smoothest running project the college had ever
experienced.”
