THIS IS OUR PROPOSAL:
(above, from left) Kevin Boyer, a project
designer and associate principal with the
architectural engineering firm, Holabird & Root,
shows a model of their vision for the $100
million Mark Jefferson Science Complex
during a campus presentation Oct. 26 in
201 Welch. James Baird, a design principal
for the Chicago firm, hosted the presentation.
Lord, Aeck, Sargent; and Harley Ellis Deveraux
are the other firms competing for the project
that also made presentations that day.
The Mark Jefferson Architectural Engineering
Advisory Committee will make the final
choice of an architectural engineering
firm for the project, said Scott Storrar,
manager, facilities planning and construction,
EMU Physical Plant. Construction is expected
to be complete sometime in 2011, he said.
