Upon completion, the Firestone Medical Research Building will provide flexible research lab space, lab support, write-up and office spaces, core spaces for circulation, conference rooms, and kitchenettes.<\/p>\n<p>To date, 60 cubic yards of existing concrete was removed and recycled locally during demolition; 2,800 cubic yards of locally manufactured concrete foundations and slabs have been placed; and 400 tons of structural steel with 88% recycled steel content have been erected. More than 90% of the work is being completed by Vermont construction labor.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, rough-in continues for mechanical, electrical and plumbing and interior framing is complete on two of the four floors with drywall installation underway. Installation of the large triple-glazed curtainwall windows will finish up this month and exterior brick masonry will begin in the next week.<\/p>\n<p>The building was designed with sustainability at the forefront, with the expectation of achieving LEED Silver certification. Supporting that effort, over 75% of construction and demolition waste will be diverted from the landfill.<\/p>\n<p>The PC Construction team, many of whom (including myself!) are UVM graduates, are excited to be part of this groundbreaking project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday the University of Vermont celebrated the construction progress on the Firestone Medical Research Building with a ceremonial groundbreaking.
