Fast-tracked CMAR schedule delivers innovative STEM facility.

DonahueFavret was selected as CMAR after a competitive qualifications-based selection process to begin an approximate 300-day-long preconstruction process with the owner and design team. This project consists of demolition of Caddo Hall and the construction of new 72,000 SF multi-story classroom and administrative building at Northwestern State University. The building will consist of multi-purpose classrooms, teaching labs, simulation clinics, administrative offices, student collaboration spaces, and support areas. Teaching labs include a nursing skills lab with 10 beds. The simulation/clinic area will include a birthing suite, pediatric suite, and med surg suite, as well as an anesthesiology sim lab and a social work clinic.

The pre-existing building on site, Caddo Hall, was demolished prior to construction. The project underwent a lengthy preconstruction process to established the GMP, having successfully navigated through current inflation issues, delivery challenges, and labor shortages.
