Carnegie Mellon University has focused on creating housing communities in and around campus. Mosites helped achieve this goal by providing programming support, conceptual cost estimating, schematic design support, and preconstruction/construction management services for the project. Nine months before the new Forbes and Beeler dormitory began construction, Mosites demolished an old dormitory on CMU’s active campus, surrounded by a neighborhood with strict noise limitations. Work included terminating and/or tapping utilities for future use, demolishing the building, and managing the abatement contractor. Mosites recycled the concrete debris and utilized it as the subbase for the future project. Our team operated misting machines to keep the dust down, and all neighbors were kept aware of the project’s progress to avoid disruptions. The new 120,000 SF, four-story residence hall provides 366 beds in 37 apartments, which includes six to eight single rooms surrounding a shared kitchen, common space, and bathroom. During the preconstruction phase, Mosites researched and developed logistical noise mitigation plans to protect the adjacent residential neighborhoods. Mosites has worked closely with Carnegie Mellon University and the design team to provide a construction approach geared toward safety on an active campus while engaging the community.
