Century College Science Learning Resource Center
Mahtomedi, MN

Larson Engineering provided civil engineering site design services for the construction of the 72,000 square foot Science and Learning Resource Center on the campus of Century College.

The project scope included phasing construction activities to minimize the disruption to students. The existing parking lot was removed in phases to allow for construction of the building while maximizing available parking spaces on campus. Once other on-campus parking areas became available, the north parking lot for the facility was constructed and completed. The southern parking lot was opened two years later at the same time as the building. Larson Engineering also provided the design, bidding, construction administration and inspection services.

This project incorporated several bio-filtration basins and porous bituminous pavements within the north parking lot to provide the necessary stormwater management to protect the neighboring wetlands. The project was designed for approval by the City of Mahtomedi, Valley Branch Watershed District and the Ramsey Conservation District.
