Rutgers University – The Yard @ College Avenue

OVERVIEW
Located in the heart of the Rutgers New Brunswick campus, The Yard @ College Avenue is a 14-story, mixed-use dormitory complex providing housing for approximately 450 students. The building’s U-shaped design provides space for a 25,000 SF public courtyard, which includes commercial space, a shore-style boardwalk, and a large video monitor to broadcast sporting events, newscasts, and movies throughout the school year. Langan provided site layout, stormwater management, and utility design; coordinated with local and state agencies; provided permitting support; and prepared a traffic report that identified potential impacts on the college’s main thoroughfare.

MetLife Stadium

OVERVIEW
Home to the New York Giants and Jets, MetLife Stadium is an 82,000-seat, open-air stadium constructed within the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The project was challenged by poor subsurface conditions, numerous existing site utilities, proximity to the existing stadium and racetrack, and the need to construct the proposed stadium while operating the existing Giants Stadium and utility infrastructure that serves the Meadowlands Sports Complex. The expertise of several Langan disciplines was called upon to facilitate design and construction of the stadium and maintain the project schedule. Langan provided geotechnical, site/civil, environmental, traffic engineering, surveying, permitting, and landscape architecture services for MetLife Stadium – working with the owners, design-build contractor, and a diverse team of architects and designers.

Panasonic North American Headquarters

OVERVIEW
This 12-story, 340,000-SF high-end office building occupies a portion of a former below-grade parking structure. Langan's services included site/civil engineering, boundary and topographic surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, natural resources, and geotechnical engineering. A major project challenge was the design of a 400-space parking lot, which required substantial coordination with the existing FBI complex. The building is the first of its kind in Newark, obtaining LEED Gold certification for the core and shell, as well as LEED Platinum certification for the interior.

Riverdale Crossing

OVERVIEW
Riverdale Crossing is a 266,000-SF Walmart-anchored shopping center located in northern New Jersey. Numerous site constraints and conflicts were overcome to turn the otherwise "undevelopable" land into a viable commercial property. Site constraints included topographic relief of over 200-feet across the property. Langan’s multi-discipline project team creatively conceived a conceptual site layout to address and overcome each of the site constraints and provide the owner with development options.

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.

Goya Foods Headquarters

OVERVIEW
The new headquarters consists of an approximately 615,000-SF warehouse on a 40-acre site. Langan provided site/civil, geotechnical, surveying, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, and natural resources permitting services. Our multi-disciplined approach greatly simplified a complex development process, thereby bringing great value to Goya. Additionally, Langan recommended a concrete modulus column subgrade improvement program, which was designed to support a high slab loading with a minimal settlement tolerance. This solution saved approximately $8 million as compared to a standard deep pile foundation.

MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan provided integrated services for the 103,000 SF world-class cancer institute and its rooftop healing garden. Located on an extremely tight urban site, the project required extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies. Our team led permitting efforts, reconfigured vehicular circulation to provide safer access to facilities, and minimized stormwater runoff by reducing the amount of surface parking in favor of a landscaped plaza space. We also designed curved retaining walls to support tree plantings without needing roof penetration, designed the site lighting, and developed site-specific soil beds to minimize rooftop loading for the lush, tranquil healing garden.

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.
