SAN DIEGO, CA – McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. (www.mccarthy.com), one of the nation’s leading education facility builders, has begun construction for the new 180,000-square-foot, four-story Math and Science Building (top left photo) in the heart of San Diego Mesa College (middle right rendering), located at 7250 Mesa College Dr. in the Clairemont area of San Diego, Calif.
The new Math and Science Building will occupy the area immediately east of the existing Learning and Resource Building and south of the I-300 Building.
Last November, construction crews began disassembling three older buildings on the campus before performing hard demolition and breaking ground for the new facility. Construction is being carefully monitored and managed to minimize disruption to regular campus activities.
The new $92 million instructional building is being funded by the $1.555 billion Propositions S and N construction bond program, which is providing for new teaching and learning facilities, major renovations and campus infrastructure projects at Mesa, City and Miramar colleges, and six continuing education campuses. Completion is slated for March 2013.
This is the second major project McCarthy has worked on at San Diego Mesa College on behalf of the San Diego Community College District. The company also built the new three-story, 50,000-square-foot Allied Health Building, which was completed in August of 2009.
Designed by Architects | Delawie Wilkes Rodrigues Barker, the new San Diego Mesa College Math and Science Building will house four floors of classrooms, laboratory space and offices for the departments of biology, chemistry, mathematics, and physical sciences. Additionally, several faculty/student interaction areas have been incorporated into the building's design. The new Math and Science Building will be constructed of structural steel with concrete shear walls and an exterior curtain wall.
Project team consultants for the new San Diego Mesa College Math and Science Building include Hope Engineering for structural engineering, and X-nth for mechanical and electrical engineering. The program manager for the Propositions S and N construction program for the San Diego Community College District is Gafcon.
