University College of the Caribbean

Project Name: University College of the Caribbean
Project Size: 38,400sq.ft.
Project Value: $507,000,000.00 JMD
Building System: Structural Steel Frame and Precast Concrete
4GEN’s Role: Construction Manager

4GEN’s principals both played critical roles in putting together this building kit of parts. I refer to it as a building kit of parts because this structure was assembled as precast wall panels to face a structural steel frame. All wall panels were poured off-site and transported to the location and installed with heavy equipment. This system reduced the labour requirements compared to traditional block and steel.
