Getting it Done . . . Together

A Case Study – Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School Joseph Avenue Expansion Project 


presented by Steve Rebholz


AIA Credits: 1.5 LU HSW Credits


Overview


Great projects don’t just happen. They are the result of the collaboration of a diverse group of teams and individuals. Owner, Contractor, A/E and Suppliers – all working together to achieve a common goal. The EMHCS Joseph Avenue Expansion Project is an example of how complex design and construction problems are better solved as a team. 


This presentation will use a case study of the EMHCS Joseph Avenue to show:


  1. How the existing site, existing buildings, the Codes, and the Owner’s program informed the design solution
  2. How the Design-Build project delivery method amplified the ability of all teams to add value to the project


Learning Objectives


  1. Understand the key factors that informed the design solution of the Case Study project
  2. Understand how the NYSUFPBC was applied to this project
  3. Understand how the Owner, Contractor, A/E and Supplier teams each added value to this project  
  4. Understand why the Design-Build project delivery method was determined to be the best way to get this project done
