FAMU Development Research School

A 116,434 square foot educational and educator training institution was constructed on this historical campus. New technological systems, interior/exterior finishes built to tilt wall specifications helped to complete this K-12, six-building complex that houses elementary, middle and high school classroom buildings, an administration building, a cafeteria/auditorium with full commercial kitchen, a media center and a gymnasium. MEP’s include fire and HVAC systems in addition to site and utility development, masonry and furnishings for the compound.

The complex includes energy efficient indirect lighting, life safety technology and smart boards in each classroom. A wireless network system, installed campus wide, also connects to the FAMU campus police. And, the school now boasts a TV production studio.

Services provided included pre-construction, value engineering, site work, vertical construction and commissioning services for the campus. CTG saved the owner more than $1.5 million through value engineering. The project was completed in 19 months.
