Rowan College of South Jersey Economic Development Center

Rowan College of South Jersey hired GREYHAWK to provide construction management services for a new workforce development center, later renamed the Economic Development Center. Designed to be occupied by both county and state organizations, and to support job training and career opportunities, the building houses the Gloucester County Department of Economic Development, Gloucester County Workforce Development Board, American Job Center of Gloucester County, and Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce. The one-story, 16,000-sf building contains staff offices, conference rooms, training rooms, interview rooms, and a waiting area. The project began in Spring 2019 and was complicated by the Covid-19 pandemic, including partial work stoppages and shutdowns, reduced manpower on site, and supply chain delays.

GREYHAWK’s pre-construction phase involvement focused on developing and adhering to budget, developing and meeting a design schedule, participating in meetings, professional objective advice and representation, quality construction documents, logistics planning, design review for constructability, and guidance throughout the bid and award process.

During the construction phase, GREYHAWK was involved daily in the field to provide oversight, conduct project meetings, monitor the schedule, maintain the project budget, review and approve payment applications, address sensitive issues, and work with the design and construction team to ensure that key issues were resolved and the project completed on time.
