Granger Construction was selected as the Construction Management partner on the new Michigan Technological University H-STEM Engineering and Health Technologies Complex.
The new H-STEM Complex was designed to support Michigan Tech’s integrated educational programs in health-related and human-centered technological innovations. It was also envisioned to address what MTU recognized to be a critical need: industry-relevant, STEM-based educational and research programs in health and human-centered engineering.
The goal behind this project was to permit teams of researchers and students from Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Computer Science and Kinesiology and Integrative Physiology to work together in collaborative spaces with shared equipment to contribute to economic prosperity through development of technologies and preparation of the future technological workforce.
This project involved construction of a 62,000 SF addition to the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Building.
The newly constructed shared and flexible laboratory spaces are co-located with renovated classrooms and learning spaces within the existing facility, meeting industry standards for safe operation.
The new structure was build to LEED Gold sustainability targets according to specifications set by the U.S. Green Building Council.
