LSUHSC Clinical Science Research Building Addition
With a meticulous focus on quality, safety, and operational excellence; Woodward delivers this major addition and renovation project to the bustling LSU Health Sciences campus in downtown New Orleans.
The project team sequenced the project by first starting with the interior renovations on the Clinical Science Research Building (CSRB) and Medical Education Building (MEB), and construction of the new generator building. The generator building is a 2-story building made of slab on grade structural steel with poured concrete decks. The team focused on the generator construction delivery in the beginning of the project as it houses the new critical MEP equipment that powers the entire campus.
While completing renovations, the team executed the new animal transportation bridge that ties into two existing areas connecting the CSRB and MEB. The steel framed connector bridge sits on two concrete bridge piers and connects MEB to CSRB.
The CSRB building addition is an 8-story poured in place concrete deck and walls, with CMU walls, and a glass curtainwall system. Additional scope included flood-proofing on the MEB and installing bridge toppers on the existing pedestrian bridges.
