LOS ANGELES – (July 24, 2013) – Cumming, an international project management and cost consulting firm, announced today it will be providing construction management services for the new 90,000-square-foot Glendale Community College Lab College Services Building. The estimated $39 Million project is expected to be finished within 24 months after commencement of construction, with anticipated student occupancy in Fall 2015. The project, designed to achieve LEED Silver certification, also includes the demolition of the nearby Los Robles Building, reconfiguring the adjacent parking lot and the development of a new student plaza.
“The new Lab College Services Building will centralize student services departments including Admissions and Records, Counseling, and Financial Aid offices and address the growing needs of the campus,” said Lisa Sachs, Managing Principal at Cumming.
The new three-story Lab College Services Building will contain lecture classrooms, speech and writing labs, computer labs and an anthropology lab. The building will also house the Culinary Arts Food Service Program and provide additional space for faculty offices and student services. Cumming’s Karl Aldridge will serve as the on-the-ground project manager overseeing the day-today project development through occupancy. Aldridge will be supported by Cumming’s Los Angeles corporate office. Glendora-based NTD is the project’s designer.
“We are delighted to work with Cumming on the development of the new Lab College Services Building,” said Nelson Oliveira, Jr., Director of Facilities and Construction at Glendale Community College. “The team is very responsive and consistently delivers project assignments, promptly and accurately.”
Cumming has been providing program, project, and construction management services for California education clients for nearly 20 years, during which time the firm has worked on more than 600 public and private community college and university projects. Currently, Cumming is serving as College Project Manager for bond programs at Los Angeles Community College District’s L.A. Southwest College and West L.A. College – totaling more than $800 million in combined value. Cumming also managed the $36 million LEED platinum student housing facility project for Pitzer College, one of seven Claremont area colleges, which was completed on time and within budget. This project later won the Sustainability Award from the City of Claremont.
