Murray State University Science Complex

Murray, Kentucky – Calloway County

Phase I – Biology Building:

For the Murray State University (MSU) Science Complex’ Biology Building, Bacon Farmer Workman (BFW) provided the complete civil engineering construction documents including technical specifications for the site construction of parking facilities and a “Great Lawn” area for the new Biology Building-Phase I of the new Science Complex at Murray State University. The project included:

  • Demolition of an existing parking area
  • Earthwork
  • Construction of pedestrian walkways
  • Construction of a new parking lot

In addition, BFW was retained for the topographic surveying of the property, planning, and design of all site related work, including utility relocations and extensions and road closure through the City of Murray. Working with the Landscape Architects and Murray State University personnel, BFW worked to maximize land use to provide the optimal pedestrian circulation, vehicular access, and aesthetic campus appeal. The design included:

 

  • Utility relocations and extensions
  • Grading and drainage of the site including stormwater management
  • Asphalt surfacing design and construction detailing

Phase II – Chemistry Building:

BFW started Phase II which consisted of a new chemistry building for the New MSU Science Complex. The new chemistry building and expansion, a connecting tower at the second floor to the Biology Building, are approximately 60,000 gross square feet. Many new facilities are included in the new building and expansion such as:

 

  • Teaching labs
  • Research labs
  • Faculty offices
  • Classrooms

Phase III – Engineering & Physics Building:

For Phase III, Bacon Farmer Workman (BFW) and Marcum Engineering provided the civil, site, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design and engineering services for MSU Science Complex’s Engineering & Physics Building. The new, nearly 80,000 square feet facility includes:

  • Classrooms
  • Lecture halls
  • Administrative space
  • Library
  • Astronomy labs
  • Chemistry labs
  • More labs
  • Elevated connector bridge from Engineering & Physics Building to Chemistry Building

BFW and Marcum are proud to have provided the services to expand Murray State University Science Complex’s capabilities and facilities which will allow for more classes, research, and opportunities for their students, community, and staff.
