Project Overview

Located in the heart of UVM’s central campus, the STEM Complex consists of two new five-story buildings totaling nearly 200,000 square feet. The project includes a state-of-the-art laboratory building as well as a modern classroom and teaching building to align UVM and its students, faculty and staff with a new era of STEM programs. The complex features 20 state-of-the-art teaching labs, seven media-rich classrooms, faculty labs, and meeting spaces for student and teacher interaction. The buildings interconnect with a third existing building to house the chemistry, physics, engineering, mathematics and statistics and computer science programs.

The construction process employed extensive 3D BIM coordination to streamline the installation of highly complex MEPF systems.
