 
VCU Brandt Hall
Brandt Hall is a seventeen-story cast-in-place concrete tower at Virginia Commonwealth University. The 160,000 square foot residence hall has six suites per floor, each with four bedrooms, two baths, and a living room. The first floor contains a student lounge, laundry facilities, and study labs. The lobby serves both the new building and the adjacent existing dormitory, Rhoads Hall, which remained occupied during construction. W. M. Jordan Company was Construction Manager at risk for this project. As such, the firm provided preconstruction phase services including document review, value analysis, constructability analysis, and cost estimating services. The project included demolition of a three-story structure and construction of the new tower on a very tight site with limited access and room to maneuver. Mid-Atlantic Construction magazine selected VCU Brandt Hall as Best Higher Education Project in their Best of 2005 awards program. This program awards projects that promote teamwork and partnering among industry professionals. This is W. M. Jordan Company's third project for Virginia Commonwealth University. Previous projects included The School of Engineering and renovations to Sanger Hall.
