This project involved selective demolition, custom laser rack reconfiguration, and finish upgrades within an existing laser lab space. Work was performed under tight logistical constraints, including limited access, restricted staging areas, and coordination within an occupied academic facility.
The scope required precision, cleanliness, and coordination with multiple stakeholders to ensure the lab remained functional and compliant throughout the process.
- 01Selective demolition of casework, millwork, wall base, and overhead utility rack
- 02Removal and relocation of cylinder wall and floor brackets
- 03Modification and elevation of overhead utility racks to new specified height
- 04Wall repair, including replacement of water-damaged drywall at laser curtain locations
- 05Full interior paint of lab and adjacent lounge areas
- 06Painting of metal door frames (field-selected finish)
- 07Removal and reinstallation of laser curtain system, including new connection panels
- 08Ceiling grid and clean room tile removal/reinstallation to access mechanical and rack systems
- 09Installation of specialized custom door sweeps per specification
Operating within a live campus environment drove the approach to this project. While there were no classes ongoing in this particular lab during the project, the building had students active in other classrooms.
The project delivered a clean, updated lab environment aligned with functional requirements, while maintaining continuity of surrounding campus operations. All specialty systems were reinstalled, tested, and operational at project closeout.
