Addressing Utility & Infrastructure Needs

BVH has performed many civil/site engineering services for Yale University, including the following projects:

BVH designed the underground site utilities that serve Branford and Saybrook Colleges and connect to the campus’ utility network. Our design includes underground steam, water, electrical, and data/telecommunications distribution, as well as separation of sanitary and storm systems. Site drainage included courtyards and moat areas. The specific challenges of this project were coordinating all utilities in the horizontal and vertical dimensions while preserving the campus’ historical character throughout the upgrade, and maintaining operation of existing utilities throughout construction.
Renovation of Pierson College included utility upgrades and comprehensive life cycle renovations to this 140,000-SF residential college.
Jonathan Edwards College, a 150,000-SF renovation and courtyard addition, included underground steam, water, electrical, and data/telecommunications distribution, as well as separation of sanitary and storm systems for kitchens. Site drainage included courtyards and moat areas.
13,000 SF of renovations and a 17,000-SF addition for Yale’s Anthropology Building. The project provided new high-tech mechanical and electrical systems, upgraded central utilities, and included site improvements to the historic, three-story academic building.
