Project Overview:
Fahs Construction Group served as General Contractor for the reconstruction of high-traffic campus walkways and plaza areas, modernizing pedestrian infrastructure, stormwater systems, emergency access, lighting, and public space while maintaining continuous campus operations.
Self-Performed Scope
Fahs executed key civil and site trades in-house, improving schedule control, quality, and cost certainty in a live campus environment:
Concrete seat walls and structural concrete
Sitework, grading, cuts/fills, and subbase preparation
Drainage systems, storm piping, and structures
Demolition and removals
Asphalt paving
Maintenance and protection of traffic (MPT)
Self-perform execution reduced subcontractor handoffs, accelerated sequencing, and enabled rapid field decision-making.
Key Challenges & Solutions:
Work was performed in an active, high-density campus environment that required uninterrupted pedestrian circulation and continuous emergency access. Fahs implemented a carefully managed 10-phase construction sequence adjacent to critical academic facilities to minimize disruption to students, faculty, and operations. The team also addressed complex stormwater, grading, and plaza deck drainage constraints to ensure long-term performance, surface stability, and reliable water management.
Results Delivered | Owner Value:
Improved ADA accessibility and pedestrian safety
Resolved drainage and stormwater performance deficiencies
Enhanced emergency circulation and campus resilience
Increased durability and lifecycle performance
Reduced long-term maintenance and winter operations burden
Elevated campus aesthetics, lighting, and public-space experience
