Academic
Campus work means working around the academic calendar, student housing, research continuity, and institutional review. Select has removed an 800,000 SF science building at UMass Boston and gutted laboratory floors at Yale while adjacent buildings stayed in use.
The environment
What governs the work
- Occupied residence halls, classrooms, and laboratories adjacent to work
- Summer and break-period schedule windows
- Building separation from structures that remain
- Institutional sustainability and diversion reporting
Our practice
How Select responds
- Phasing aligned to the academic calendar
- Engineered shoring where plazas and garages cannot carry loads
- On-site crushing of brick, concrete, and CMU for reuse as backfill
