Project Description

Quandel was selected as construction manager for the Phase I portion of the new Commonwealth Medical College located in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

The project included fast track renovations to the existing Lackawanna Junior College, which will serve as a temporary facility for classrooms, lecture areas, and administrative areas until the new facility is completed.

A state-of-the-art gross anatomy lab was constructed as part of the renovation project. Specific requirements for this type of laboratory included separate HVAC, MEP, and electrical systems. In addition, an extensive technology infrastructure was incorporated into the existing building to provide the medical college with the latest in computer learning technology.

Quandel renovated space that formerly housed undergraduate students. The new space now contains a state-of-the-art gross anatomy lab, clinical skills center, and classrooms, which will be used to educate medical students during their first two years of medical school. The project finished on schedule and under budget. I was very pleased with Quandel -- they were professional and valued problem solvers throughout the entire project. Due to the successful outcome, I am pleased to announce that Quandel has been retained to manage and construct our new $115 million Medical Sciences Building.
