Managed construction process.

The University of San Francisco commissioned CMA to manage the redesign and construction process for a residential facility that had previously been designed at a cost significantly in excess of the University’s budget.

The Jesuit Residence was designed to provide housing and related facilities for 24 Jesuit faculty members. The facility included a chapel, library, kitchens and dining spaces, business offices, parking and a private garden. Working with the original team of architects, engineers, and consultants, CMA conceived and implemented a redesign strategy that employed a highly cost-efficient planning and construction approach, as well as cost effective building materials and telecommunication equipment. For example, the original, single-loaded corridor was redesigned as a double-loaded corridor, and the size of the building was reduced while responding to all of the University’s programmatic criteria. The redesign was also accomplished within the constraints of the previously obtained Conditional Use Permit.
