South Coast Improvement Company announced the start of four new projects on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus, continuing their long term working relationship with this globally recognized school. These four projects consist of facility upgrades that will have a significant impact not only on the students and faculty, but on the Institution as a whole. The projects consist of two specialized laboratories, office spaces, and their main campus bookstore.
Building 46 at the Brain and Cognitive Sciences Complex is the largest neuroscience center in the world. It is LEED-Silver certified meaning it has achieved at least 50 points of certification constituted by the Green Building Council. South Coast Improvement will be reconfiguring existing office space to accommodate a greater number of offices. This begins with the installment of new walls and includes all of the finishes that will keep the style, functionality and LEED certification of the building in-tact.
South Coast Improvement will also be constructing a laboratory with expectations to be completed by late fall. The Marelli Lab is being constructed to serve the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department. A conference room will be renovated as a wet lab to satisfy unique requirements for research conduction and include highly specialized systems and equipment.
Additionally, South Coast Improvement will reconfigure a large storage space into a specialized holding room at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT. This sensitive work environment requires that all personnel pass through the existing and operational laboratory space to reach the construction area.
