Students, faculty and staff at California State University Channel Islands are eagerly anticipating the completion of a state-of-the-art classroom and lab building at the heart of their historic campus in Camarillo, California. Work is progressing smoothly and the project is on track to be complete in time for the start of the 2015 fall semester.
The scope of Sundt’s $32 million university construction project includes demolition and abatement of the original West Hall, courtyard walls, and a small outbuilding. The main project awarded separately includes construction of the three-story, 66,500-gross-square-foot classroom and laboratory building, which will house state-of-the-art labs, offices, lecture halls, and related support spaces to accommodate growth in the departments of computer science, environmental science, geography, geology, psychology and physics.
The structure consists of steel and CMU construction with high end interior woodwork, laboratory classroom finishes and exposed ground and polished concrete floors. The focal point of the building is a second level “green roof” planted like a garden.
