Project Description

Square Footage: 260,000
Budget: $17,000,000
Location: Princeton, NJ

The six-story chemistry building at Princeton University is currently the largest academic building on the Ivy League school’s campus. The new building now houses the University’s entire chemistry department and is the new home for 30 faculty members and staff and 300 graduate students and research staff. The building contains various state-of-the-art labs and equipment. The first floor contains introductory and organic teaching labs. The upper floor has research labs that contain 200 high efficiency fume hoods and the below grade levels contain a 250-seat auditorium, dedicated space for laser tables and a nuclear magnetic resonance equipment lab.

MMC Contractors’ scope of work required us to install all of the plumbing, laboratory gas systems, and water and acid waste piping work for the building. Over 150,000 total linear feet of piping was installed as part of our contract.
