A September ground breaking at Wayne State University in Detroit puts the school’s A. Paul Schaap Chemistry Building and Lecture Hall on track for a December 2010 completion. The $37 million, 96,000-sf facility is the second phase of a two-phase project to expand and renovate the existing chemistry building. The project includes a new four-story glass atrium entrance, a 150-seat auditorium, a lecture hall, additional research stations and collaborative work areas, administrative offices, and a sloped green roof. Designed by Harley Ellis Devereaux with DeMaria Building Co. as GC, the project is targeting LEED Silver.
