HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, NJ-- DMR Architects has been selected to design a new academic building at Middlesex County College in Edison, NJ. The building will be prominently located on Blue Colt Drive at one of the college's two main entrances.
The building will be two-stories with 36,000 sf of academic space, including classrooms, computer labs, administrative offices, a culinary demonstration lab, kitchen facilities and meeting rooms. The college is seeking Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for the new structure. LEED certification is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
Because of the building's location, special detail has to be paid to every side of the structure. The building will have a main entrance facing Blue Colt Drive, but also in the rear, where there is a parking lot.
The project will cost approximately $11 million and is scheduled to go out to bid in June. Construction is expected to begin in August. It's the first project DMR Architects has undertaken for the college.
DMR recently completed design work for a new $12 million academic building at Ocean County College in Toms River, N.J. That project is currently under construction. The firm has also completed design work for several other educational institutions, including Rutgers University, University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, County College of Morris, Raritan Valley Community College and Bergen Community College.
