Biotrial North American Headquarters

OVERVIEW
Langan provided geotechnical, civil, environmental, traffic, and landscape architecture services to this France-based biotechnology and pharmaceutical company. The first phase of the project consisted of a five-story, 70,000-SF glass building, which features metal panels that rise on two sides of the building, symbolizing the nature of Biotrial's pharmaceutical testing mission. Phased site design construction plans include a screened-in service and parking area with underground stormwater storage, a public plaza at the front of the building that will carry the building pattern toward the public sidewalk, and a private volunteer garden that will provide a green resting area for building users.

Novartis Pharmaceuticals – East Campus

OVERVIEW
The East Hanover Campus of Novartis Pharmaceuticals is made up of office buildings, laboratories, storage facilities, dining facilities and recreational facilities. Over the past 5 years Novartis has redeveloped the eastern portion of their campus. Improvements include new office buildings, a parking garage, landscaping of a promenade and environmental remediation. Langan provided services throughout this redevelopment process in association with the construction of two 29,430-SF office buildings and a 61,700-SF parking garage, including site/civil, geotechnical, and environmental engineering. Langan site/civil engineering services included site demolition, grading, drainage, erosion and sediment, utilities and construction details to support the building projects and the east campus landscape enhancement project. Geotechnical services included conducting subsurface investigations including borings and test pits, a geotechnical report and design support for the preparation of foundation documents for three new buildings and site improvement.

Mount Sinai Center for Science and Medicine

OVERVIEW
The Mount Sinai Research Center, in the Upper East Side section of Manhattan, is a 1.5-acre parcel occupying about three-quarters of a city block along Madison Avenue. The site is comprised of an 11-story building with a four cellars. A tunnel, approximately 250-feet east of Fifth Avenue, connects the proposed Research Center to Mount Sinai’s Guggenheim Pavilion to the south. Langan’s role on this project included site/civil, surveying and geotechnical engineering services. Challenging aspects included the ongoing infrastructure work to accommodate a tunnel beneath a congested New York City street.

Bristol-Myers Squibb

OVERVIEW
Langan is providing landscape architecture design services to support overall design efforts associated with the developments of a new 3,100-SF building addition for Bristol-Myers Squibb’s Biologics Development Relocation Project on the New Brunswick campus. The planned addition will primarily be comprised of conference rooms, collaborative space and a 4-story atrium space designed to provide transparency between office and lab areas in the building and will provide generous views of the exterior from multiple positions within the building.

Thorlabs

OVERVIEW
Thorlabs, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of photonic tools and systems, constructed their new corporate headquarters that includes a new three-story 121,277-SF building. The 6-acre site is part of the Town of Newton-Sparta Avenue Redevelopment Plan. The long-abandoned former industrial site provided environmental constraints, which were managed by Langan’s Licensed Site Remediation Professionals. Natural resources and permitting services included obtaining freshwater wetland permits to fill an isolated wetland.

University of Miami – Converge Miami

OVERVIEW
The research and development park provides office and laboratory space for companies to collaborate with UM researchers, making it easier to turn scientific discoveries into commercial products. The 1.4-million SF research and development complex includes multiple mid-rise buildings and associated parking structures. Langan prepared paving, grading, and drainage plans to expand the surface parking field and obtained a “Drainage Connection Permit” from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), which was required because the project abuts an FDOT-operated roadway. We also performed a geotechnical exploration to evaluate the subsurface conditions, spearheaded the pile load test program, and conducted earthwork monitoring and testing, which was complicated by environmental impacts in the soil and groundwater. Our detailed evaluation of excavated materials allowed for the reuse of materials as structural fill and pavement base course. This avoided the need for imported fill, resulting in considerable cost savings.
