PSU- Greater Allegheny – Frable Building Office Suite Reno

 Scope:  2,200 S.F

A renovation to a faculty cluster of offices suites into a reimagined combined open office suite which promotes physical, visual and team interaction.  Strategically placing 7 offices near the perimeter along with an 8 person conference room highlighted by a field fabricated demountable partition system of glass, patterned film and wood doors. Support space includes a mail room, two clusters of collaboration tables for adjunct faculty and student near a break out area and kitchenette. 

A shared 8th office provides flexible expansion / growth for either faculty or staff. 2” linear light fixtures create a perpendicular rythym along the ceiling highlighted by the same fixtures becoming a wall accent as the light fixture turns down 4’ on the wall to continue the floor pattern and break up an otherwise long corridor. 

This phase II Project completes the University’s vision for this half of the building’s second floor wing and provides a much needed upgrade for the campus faculty. Construction cost was closely monitored between construction divisions 02 – 12 for cost alignments. Labor and Industry required ADA improvements per state request and interpretation (outside the scope of work) were factored while other construction items were value engineered for improved cost parament alignments. 

Light touches of strategically placed accent wall paints provides for a faculty customized experience within a controlled finish palette.
