With a construction schedule developed around the Endicott College’ academic calendar, detailed coordination and meticulous schedule management were critical on the $44.5-million Samuel C. Wax Academic Center. When feasibility studies revealed that the original locations and phasing for the project’s two planned buildings would push work over budget and not align with the calendar, Windover Construction and its design-build partner Bergmeyer Associates had to act fast.

根据原始计划，该团队将不得不执行校园公用事业的昂贵搬迁，该工具面临着冗长的设计和实施过程，冒着延迟工作的风险。取而代之的是，该团队将第一座建筑物搬到了最初计划为将来的第三座建筑物计划的网站区域。该建筑物的新位置还将最大程度地减少对校园的中断，尤其是相邻图书馆，停车结构和第二阶段的学术建筑。

With the new phasing plan for the project in place, Windover was able to complete blasting and removal of 29,035 cu yd of ledge over the college’s seven-week summer break—maintaining the original schedule.

Blasting started before schematic design for the relocated building was complete. “It takes a lot of trust to go ahead and spend money on blasting without a full design in place,” says Stuart Meurer, president and CEO of Windover. “Between us, our client, our design partners and our trade partners, that was the epitome of good collaboration.”

For the remainder of the project, the team stayed focused on maintaining a construction schedule that aligned with Endicott’s calendar. One critical milestone met by Windover delivered the Phase 1 building in time for students to use it before finals started. This allowed the abatement process for Phase 2 to get underway, eventually enabling its demolition to finish before students returned for the fall semester.

在整个项目中，陷阱利用创新技术来帮助实现其目标。该公司与Autodesk和Nextera机器人技术合作开发了“ Oliver”，这是第一个执行自动激光扫描和直接从BIM数据的墙壁和实用程序的机器人的机器人。该策略最终节省了时间，并提高了激光扫描和布局过程的效率。

Windove还使用了Microsoft的Hololens，因此现场团队，建筑师和客户可以在身临其境的混合现实体验中参观该建筑物。事实证明，这对于加深对其外观和功能和管理变化的理解至关重要。陷阱还使用激光扫描来在设计模型和施工进度数据之间执行常规的QA/QC叠加层，包括无人机映射以捕获土方和壁架工作进度。

两个建筑学术中心按时完成并在预算下完成，该中心设有学校的艺术和科学，教育，传播和酒店部门以及研究生院课程。它设有35个教室，13个学术部门，合作空间，演讲厅，电视工作室，咖啡馆和预制停车结构。在15万个工作时间内，该项目没有损失的时间或OSHA记录的事件。
