PASTORE HALL, URI

Four Teaching Labs
EMERGENCY PROJECT
In March of 2004, staff discovered a massive steam leak that (within one week) generated extensive mold growth on old wood cabinetry. Remediation attempts failed, and the classrooms were required to be completely renovated. The architects donned protective gear to inventory existing conditions. Lamborghini/ Feibelman Ltd. upgraded the layouts to add ADA stations, designed the renovations and led the team of engineers, URI reps and three contractors in fast-tracking the project through the state purchasing process and two construction phases. Two labs were scheduled and completed as summer renovations, and the remaining two labs were renovated over December break.

RESEARCH LAB
An outdated layout with old systems prevented the professor from conducting his research. Lamborghini/ Feibelman Ltd. developed a design to suit the professor's research requirements by integrating systems, casework, equipment and finishes into an efficient new layout. Fume hoods were replaced and, to reduce requirements for make-up air, a dynamic barrier fume hood was specified.
