Scope Of Work
Gilbane Building Company constructed Virginia Tech’s (VT) new, four-story Signature Engineering Building. Before completion, Gilbane’s Transition Planning & Management experts were brought in to provide a Transition Planning Assessment. After TPM’s assessment was completed, Virginia Tech awarded Gilbane’s TPM with the implementation of their Activation & Occupancy Planning and Transition Plan.
The four departments occupying the building were Mechanical, Chemical, Education, and Aerospace & Ocean Engineering. The new building consisted of 35 research laboratories with the occupancy of more than 100 faculty and staff members. During the transitional planning stages, all of VT’s supporting departments provided crucial input into the transition plan and schedule. Gilbane successfully managed all relocations during a five-week period at the end of the spring semester, allowing plenty of time for faculty and staff to get settled into their new space prior to the start up of the fall semester.
