Developed as a joint enterprise between Dallas College and the Construction Education Foundation, the $26.3-million Construction Sciences Building was designed to inspire future technical college and construction programs and to meet LEED Silver standards. Among the 96,355-sq-ft facility’s unique features are its exposed building systems—plumbing, wiring and mechanical—to allow students access to the inner working of these systems.
To make the project a reality, the Dallas College and CEF partnership initiated a capital campaign with sponsorship and in-kind donation opportunities. Joeris and its team of trade partners coordinated and incorporated more than $2.5 million in monetary and in-kind donations from fellow construction industry partners.
