TDX Construction Corporation provided construction management services during the preconstruction and construction phases of this minority set-aside, multiple contract project. The new Theater/Auditorium, Physical Education Facility and athletic fields were situated on 3 five-acre sites adjacent to the existing Academic Core Building that housed the central cooling and heating plant and main electric service. The new facilities required the extension of new infrastructure services from the Academic Core. Extensive storm drainage piping was required at each site
for drainage of new parking facilities and athletic fields (tennis, track, soccer/football). A maintenance facility was also developed as part of the project. TDX developed and prepared over 30 bid packages for the new buildings and site work, the majority of which were set-aside for M/WBE contractors. The Health and Physical Education Building is 77,000 GSF in size with a construction cost of $13.4 million. The facility includes a gymnasium, indoor running track, swimming pool (diving), weight room, locker rooms and offices.
