A new HVAC system in the ceiling was completed along with electrical light fixtures and ACT ceiling grid. Challenges on the project included working in an occupied building and fifth-floor construction zone. Noise played a role in the timing of certain trades along with access to the space and liquidated damages on a tight time frame. A highlight of the project is having MYBC work in a higher education space for the first time at NCSU.
