It's incredible to look back and see the monumental effort and collaboration that went into this project. With Sellen Construction, over 1,000 talented craftspeople, engineers, architects, and other team members, including our Cochran team, came together to create something truly special.
Today, we're looking back at one of the largest projects in Sellen's 80-year history: the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Campus! Construction began in 2008 and continued until early 2011. More than 1,000 craftspeople, engineers, architects, and other team members helped bring this incredible project to life. Check out these photos from the construction process! 🏗 The 12-acre site includes two large office buildings, a visitor center, and a parking garage. The campus was also Sellen's first LEED Platinum project, with half an acre of green roofs and the capacity to recycle up to 2.5 million gallons of rain water each year.
Reducing DAS Risk Every Day
1moI was honored to design and work on the DAS (distributed antenna system) for this project, great people and excellent community focus by being one of the first organizations in the country to put in emergency responder two-way radio communications without a code requirement by the Fire department! This made certain all first responders were able to communicate with their radios along with the building occupants via their cell phones where they would not have worked without the system installed. Safety First! Communications are critical.
