The Wentworth Institute of Technology’s (WIT) Douglas D. Schumann Library & Learning Center offers a dynamic, technology-drive space for students and faculty to collaborate and learn.
STV, as the owner’s project manager, partnered with WIT for the expansive renovation of the library, including selective demolition and abatement, as well as the replacement of all mechanical and electrical systems, and windows throughout the facility. The renovated library also received lighting, acoustical, and American Disabilities Act upgrades, along with a new compact shelving system.
STV’s team assisted WIT in selecting the designer and contractor, and worked closely with the library director, faculty, students, and senior administration on decisions related to the program’s budget, schedule, and building operations. Work was completed even as the building was partially occupied.
Additionally, STV coordinated the relocation and safeguarding of the library’s collection and managed the temporary relocation of the library to a dormitory and the ensuing procurement of the building’s new furniture, from delivery to installation.
