In the largest expansion in Stevens Institute’s history, AECOM Tishman served as CM for this 400,000 SF, two-tower dormitory with a university center in its podium, on the edge of the school’s notorious bluff.
In addition to navigating the site’s demanding landscape, devising the project’s logistics was an exacting task, given the building’s location in the middle of a busy campus. Our team created a dual-hoist complex at the roadway beneath the bluff to help carry material across to the site and built a retaining wall along the top of the bluff to accommodate the building’s foundations and the hoist’s footings. Above the 70,000 SF podium, a two-story skybridge connects the 16- and 18-story reinforced concrete towers, which add a striking profile to the Hudson River skyline.
