Pomona College -
Seaver South Science Building

Project Type: Complete Renovation

Project Architect: Brett A. Stone

Contractor/Builder: The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company

Project Description: This project consisted of the complete renovation of an existing 50 year old concrete building that needed all systems upgraded to accommodate new technologies, and a seismic upgrade for safety. The building was gutted to an empty shell while temporary systems kept the existing adjacent buildings’ systems functional for use during the one-year of construction. The programming included a new Vivarium, Introductory Classrooms, Teaching Labs, Computer Labs, Advanced Neuroscience Teaching Lab Classrooms, Research Lab, Lab Instrument and Preparation Rooms, Faculty Offices, and Faculty Lounge. The site surrounding the building was sculpted to visually link the adjacent Biology Building and Chemistry Building as well as provide pedestrian flow between all three of these science buildings.  

Completion Date: January 2009
