Highlighted Projects
Google’s renovation of its café and cafeteria spaces in buildings 40 and 43 included a four-week renovation of the café during the December slowdown, plus a total of six months of replacing and retrofitting new kitchen equipment, painting and interior design details. The total cost for this project was around $1 million.
Synaptics’ corporate campus remodel required bringing 161,000 square feet of space across three buildings developed in the 1980s up to LEED Silver standards and state-of-the-art technological and environmental capabilities. The project included a new fitness center, café, development laboratories and eleven charging stations for electric vehicles, at a cost of $21 million over a seven-month period.
USF’s Harney building needed additional office and laboratory space, which necessitated demolishing existing offices, classrooms and a cold room in order to create eight new offices in 1000 square feet of space. The project also added a new 1,200 square-foot laboratory and was accomplished over the university’s summer shutdown under a tight deadline within the project budget.
Fujitsu’s 10,000 square foot data center brought unique project specifications and challenges, including seismic anchoring and dynamic cooling systems for the server cabinets and backup and standard power supplies run under the floor. In addition, the project required overhead cable organization, card-managed access control and modifications to the clean agent gas system.
These projects highlight the diversity and broad capabilities of MAI Construction to engineer, plan and implement solutions for even the most challenging projects, deadlines and requirements.
