101 S Chester Road Façade Replacement and MEP Upgrades

Swarthmore College

Swarthmore, PA

Swarthmore College modernized its 1960s-era administrative building with a comprehensive curtainwall and façade replacement, along with critical MEP upgrades.

LF Driscoll managed the construction of a new curtainwall system, LED lighting upgrades, six new heat pumps, roof resurfacing, and acoustical improvements. During preconstruction, our engineering team collaborated with the design team and trade partners through a design-assist process, using exploratory work and laser scanning to verify existing conditions and proactively address potential challenges. During construction, temporary weather walls and protective barriers safeguarded the building’s interior while close coordination helped the team efficiently address field conditions and maintain progress.
