University of Pittsburgh Greensburg Life Sciences Building

The lowest of six competitive bidders, and in compliance with the Prevailing Wage Act, Rycon built this new 32,000 sq. ft. life sciences building. The steel-framed two-story structure is constructed of a combination of brick and insulated metal panels on either a metal stud or CMU backup system, depending on the relationship to grade and loadbearing or shear walls. The scope included demolition of a lyceum. The building is connected to Smith Hall creating a unified Life Sciences Complex.
