JWTA Research Facility Experience

SELECTED PROJECTS

Chevron Oilfield Research Center, La Habra, California: Project management of all design, engineering, and construction services for the construction of a new 40,000 SF research facility. The scope of work included a computer center, seismic acoustics laboratory, photogrammetry and aerial mapping laboratory, production darkroom facilities, technical library, multimedia conference and meeting rooms and staff offices.

Hoyt Science Center, Westminster College, Edinboro, Pa.: Project Coordination of all design, engineering and quality control services for the 15000 SF expansion of an existing Chemistry and Physics laboratory and classroom facility. The scope of work included a new computer center, library, classrooms, and faculty offices with individual research laboratories.

Hoyt Science Center, Westminster College, Edinboro, Pa.: Designer for the construction of a new 30,000 SF Chemistry and Physics laboratory and classroom facility. The scope of work included lecture rooms, classrooms, graduate and undergraduate laboratories, and faculty offices with individual research laboratories.

Hiram College Biology Research Center, Hiram, Ohio: Project Coordination of the design, engineering and quality control services for the conversion of an existing 30,000 SF general classroom and lecture room building into a Biology laboratory with classrooms, and animal housing facility. The 80 year old building had historical value for the college campus so the exterior shell was restored to the original design of the campus architect. The age of the building also required a complete upgrade of all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

Hooker Chemical Research Center, Niagara Falls, NY.: Project Coordination of the design, engineering and quality control services for the construction of a new 20,000 SF chemistry research laboratory. The scope of work included flexible modular laboratories capable of being converted to a variety of configurations dependent upon the research program. Each lab module included office and computer facilities for lead researchers and support staff. The facility also included conference and meeting spaces equipped for multimedia presentations.

Goodrich Aviation Flight Simulator Facilities, Akron, Ohio: Designer for a prototype 10,000 SF jet aircraft flight simulator building. The facility served as a test bed for a new generation of computer operated flight simulators being developed by the U.S. Navy. The facility included space for the flight simulators, simulator control room, computer equipment rooms, along with classroom and office support areas.

Westinghouse High Voltage Test Center, Waltz Mills, Pa.: Designer for a large scale test chamber used to test the performance of electrical components when subjected to lightning in a saltwater mist atmosphere. The scope of work included a four story lighting test chamber, control room, computer equipment room, offices, and a corporate conference center.

Ohio Brass Company Resistor Test Laboratory, Aurora, Ohio: Designer for a small scale test chamber used to test the performance of electrical components when subjected to lightning in a saltwater mist atmosphere. The scope of work included a two story lighting test chamber, test equipment fabrication shop, control room, computer equipment room, offices, and a corporate conference center.
