MJ Daly is finishing installing the fire protection system for UConn’s new three-story STEM Research Center building. Located on the main campus in Storrs, CT, the sprinkler piping runs throughout each building floor to provide fire protection for 198,000 sqft, including labs, offices, an auditorium, and much more. BIM coordination efforts played a crucial part in the project due to the tight space and the significant mechanicals required to serve the labs.
