California
Institute of Technology
Pasadena, California
Project Description
LCS is currently performing
a design-build renovation for the California Institute of Technology.
The new research laboratory facility is being built for Professor
Keith Schwab and is located in the sub-basement of the existing
Kellogg Laboratory Building which was built in the 1930’s.
LCS
is creating the 3,100 square foot research lab which requires
two 5’ x
7’ x 12’ deep pits where Professor Schwab can
install two large vessels where extremely low temperature experiments
will be conducted.
LCS is facing many complexities with this
project as site logistics are a major challenge. Since the
lab is located in the sub-basement, there is no freight elevator;
therefore most excavation must be done by hand and there is
approximately 100 cubic yards of dirt that will be removed
from the site. Additional
project challenges include routing the make-up air and the
exhaust air duct work due to the physical location of the project
Start Date: First Quarter 2010
Expected Completion Date: Third Quarter 2010

Texas
Children’s Hospital
Houston, Texas
Project Description
LCS has a strategic alliance
with Tellepsen Builders, LP to build out 4 floors of the new
13 story Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute
at Texas Children’s
Hospital located in the Medical Center Houston, Texas.
LCS is
providing and installing all of the laboratory casework, tops,
fume hoods and mechanical and electrical fixtures for 4 floors
which are dedicated to research laboratories. The project includes
the 3rd floor which is a Vivarium Level and the 11th, 12th
and 13th floors which house the research areas that bring together
researchers from genetics, bioinformatics, biology, physics,
chemistry and neurology in order to study the unique issues
of a child’s brain
structure, development patterns and related diseases. This
first of its kind institute has the potential to accelerate
the process of discovery into new treatments for children and
potentially adults suffering from neurological disorders.
The
architect for the building is Perkins + Will. The
building shell and core is complete and the interior build
out is ongoing and is scheduled to be complete in the fall
of 2010.
