Merritt College Student Services (One-Stop) Center Renovation
Oakland, CA

Major Renovation - Delivered with Success!
Vanir's construction management services delivered the One-Stop Center Renovation project within budget and on time; students were able to use the new facility at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year.

The scope of work in Building R included renovations to meet programmatic space needs for the Kitchen and Dining Areas, Bookstore, Career Center, Health Services, Computer Lab, Counseling and several other departments.

The modernization in Building P provided one large classroom, three standard size classrooms, men's and women's restrooms, four offices, and large custodial space.

The project also included new operable windows, lighting, electrical and mechanical system upgrades with new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC).

Leadership of the Vanir Team
"The college has experienced several difficult and complex issues during the course of construction...these difficulties were overcome in great measure because of the leadership of the Vanir team and the focus on getting Building "R" finished and ready for classes. I believe that it is due to their efforts and their focus on client needs that has resulted in a positive experience and excellent facility."
