Workforce-focused higher education facilities present commissioning challenges that go beyond standard classroom buildings. The Advanced Manufacturing Center at St. Louis Community College brings 96,000 SF of hands-on training space online in Ferguson, with specialized instructional labs, equipment-intensive training bays, and supporting program areas all carrying distinct system demands.

G&W’s MEPFP commissioning scope ran from design through occupancy, with design reviews, submittal evaluations, system inspections, and functional performance testing verifying that mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems performed in accordance with design intent. The result is a documented baseline for long-term operations across a teaching facility built to support advanced manufacturing workforce development.
