Effective Design-Build in Higher Education: A Tale of Two Projects

Thursday, November 8, 2018 at 10:00 a.m.

Session overview:

Our intent is to compare and contrast the use of the Design-Build delivery process on two higher education projects – Augsburg University’s Hagfors Center (classroom, lab, and office building) and Carleton College’s Music and Performance Commons (performing arts building). For both projects, the Owner selected the Design-Build delivery process based on relationships previously developed with McGough. We will discuss how the benefits of Design-Build were maximized during the delivery of each of these projects.

Presented by:

  • Rebecca Celis, Principal, HGA
  • Bake Baker, Executive Vice President, McGough Construction Co.
  • Thomas Hannasch, Sr. Project Manager, McGough Construction Co.
  • Steve Richardson, Puzak Family Director of the Arts, Carleton College
  • Leif Anderson, Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Augsburg University
