The University of Texas System 

The 7 story, 290,000-square-foot Norman Hackerman Experimental Science Building houses state-of-the-art classrooms, teaching and research laboratories, and administrative offices. The building replaced the original Experimental Sciences Building, which itself was a center of science research when it originally opened in 1952. Innovative design and engineering approaches met both project energy savings and LEED Silver certification targets. 

University of Massachusetts Amherst 

The Central Heating Plant was designed to satisfy the campus’ electric base load and all of its steam for over 200 buildings and nearly 10 million square feet of building space. It has the latest pollution control technologies including advanced combustion turbine low NOx burners, Selective Catalytic Reduction and Oxidation Catalyst to significantly reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases and will meet the most stringent air quality permit requirements for a combustion turbine facility of its size in the country. Sebesta Blomberg served as the owner’s independent engineer and the commissioning agent for the new central heating plant and cogeneration facility. 

University of Minnesota 

Designed for a 50-year life expectancy, the renovation of the Moos Tower Surgical Research and Cancer Laboratories at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis involved the 11th floor being demolished and transformed through design. A critical element of the project involved moving circulation from the windowed perimeter to the interior, bringing light deep into the lab and work spaces. The new space, including BSL-2 level labs, features an efficient design that expands research space by nearly 30 percent, for a total of 12,730 useable square feet. The University partnered with Sebesta Blomberg to perform engineering design services for the renovations. The successful renovation provided their internationally-renowned faculty with secure, state-of-the-art facilities.
