The scope of work involves an Advanced Planning Study including full floor concept plans for the renovation of Kenan Laboratories as described below as well as the planning of a major systems renovation in support of activities on floors Ground through 4. Built in 1968 and located off South Road, Kenan Laboratories is a ten story, 140,410 sf teaching laboratory facility for the Chemistry and Applied Physical Sciences Departments. An earlier project, completed in 2019, renovated approximately 23,000 sf of laboratory and office space located on the 7th and 8th floors. Significant infrastructure upgrades were also completed at that time.
