Case Study: Concordia University

Design/Build Services

CSS was contracted by Concordia University to provide design/build and installation services for a new Residence Life Center at their Saint Paul campus. Construction of the new state-of-the-art hall began in 2007, and it opened for student occupancy in the fall of 2008. The new four-story, 300 bed apartment-style residence replaced three older buildings (built in the late 1950’s).

Before demolition could be completed and construction of the new building could start, existing cable feeding East Campus buildings needed to be redistributed.

To locate specific wireless access points above the suspended ceiling, CSS devised an innovative solution to identify those access points. This solution will save considerable time (and money) whenever subsequent modifications, servicing or maintenance are needed for these systems.

Services Completed:

	Structured cabling
	Wireless access point installation
	Camera surveillance
	Emergency intercom call station
	Fiber and copper backbone cabling to Campus Data Center
	Redistribution of underground cabling systems to feed East Campus buildings
