- 4,781 ASF lecture hall
- 6,763 ASF laboratory
- 1,265 ASF office
- 970 ASF audio visual room
- 1,007 ASF data processing and meeting room spaces
This project also included the removal of two portable classrooms, totaling an additional 9,680 square feet.
Vanir’s scope of services included contract administration; the establishment and implementation of the required procedures between the District, architect, and contractor; management of jobsite meetings; scheduling reviews; recording documents; and reviewing and providing recommendations on cost changes/estimating.
Demonstrating superior leadership and industry experience
Impressed by Vanir’s project director, and after an unfortunate and unexpected early retirement, the KCCD director requested that Vanir manage the college’s 17 projects until the in-house position is filled. This is a true testament of our abilities to manage and provide best practices as well as our team’s great management skills.
