We have entered into a preferred vendor relationship with Smith & Schaefer via the exclusive provider of lab casework for scientific and laboratory projects on the University of Pittsburgh campus.
We have a series of lab renovations underway across the breadth of the natural sciences field in the school of arts and sciences and we have used our new relationship with Smith & Schaefer to expedite the time required for converting faculty dreams and expectations, into new labs in which they can fulfill their scientific aspirations.
By incorporating Smith & Schaefer as a partner in the design process, we can actually have shop drawings prepared prior to the award of construction bids or construction contracts. Previously we had to wait until the successful bidder had been designated before we could take casework design to bid and subsequent shop drawing stage.~Dick Howe, University of Pittsburgh, Associate Dean for Administration and Planning |
