Gessner Engineering provided construction materials testing services for the two new physics buildings. The Mitchell Physics Buildings, joined by a crosswalk, provide almost 200,000 square feet of space for the physics department and include a 468-seat lecture hall as well as a 180-seat auditorium. Construction materials testing services included soil and concrete testing. This project was unique because the buildings were designed to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) silver standards - a national rating scale developed by the United States Green Building Council to encourage more sustainable buildings. Gessner Engineering adjusted to the requirements by designing several special concrete mixes for this project including high-strength and fly ash content mixes. Gessner Engineering provided standard testing on these concrete mixes and early strength breaks to facilitate an accelerated construction schedule.
