Birck Hall of Science

Frederick Quinn Corporation (FQC) was retained by Benedictine University to provide Design and At-Risk Construction Management Services for the first phase of their “BU 2000” campus renovation. FQC accepted full responsibility for the design and construction of Kindlon Hall of Learning Library Complex and Birck Hall of Science. These facilities collectively encompass 151,000 SF and are situated at the heart of the Benedictine University campus. Sequencing the concurrent construction of these facilities without interrupting campus life was paramount to the client. FQC met this criteria successfully, delivering each component of the initiative before the scheduled completion dates. The features of the buildings include:

• Birck Hall of Science – 70,000 square feet
• Two multi level auditoriums with integrated sound and technology systems
• Integrated laboratory and classroom spaces designed and constructed to support the specific - disciplines of each course of study
• Isolated HVAC exhaust systems to ensure building air quality is uncompromised by research activities
