Textile Computational Laboratory

University of Massachusetts Dartmouth

Dartmouth, MA

Civitects was retained by the University to transform existing office spaces into a new Computational Science Lab and conference room on the first floor of the Textile Building. By eliminating the existing office spaces, Civitects was able to develop an open plan for the lab and incorporate new computer workstations and a lounge area. Work included the construction of new partitions, ceiling and floor finishes, an overhead projector, and tackable wall surfaces in the corridor immediately outside the space. Improved security measures were considered and new doors were equipped with access control. Existing electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems were also modified for the new lab.
