Architectural, Engineering, & Construction (Virtual) Forum - 201110

"From Cradle to Grave in 2,190 days. The Life of a Government Capital Building Construction Project"
presented by Jennifer Bracewell, PMP, MPA/ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

The PMI Atlanta AEC Forum is a focus group that hosts regular events with ranging topics in the architectural, engineering, and construction fields. We will show the importance of solid project management in these related fields of study.

Presentation Details

Government Capital building projects have a life of their own. They are comprised of very specific administrative elements regarding scope, schedule and budget even before the Architects, Engineers and Construction managers come on board. This presentation will walk through the life of two of the most recent and most complex construction projects in CDC history with combined budgets totaling over $550M, the Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory and the East Campus Laboratory Consolidation Project.
