Abstract:
Boston University’s Physical Plant and the Office of Space Planning recommended that the engineering department library be moved from the 2nd floor of the existing building to the basement to provide needed space for a new research laboratory. Preliminaries included the evaluation of existing conditions and a subsurface soil investigation. Different options were studied and a final plan was implemented.
