Synovus Commerce & Technology Building

Columbus State University’s (CSU’s) Synovus Commerce and Technology Building (SCCT) is a four-story, 94,000-square-foot building constructed in 2002. The SCCT is a primary instructional building on CSU’s main campus and houses the administrative functions of the Turner College of Business and Technology as well as CSU’s primary data center and core network routing.

Despite being built only 21 years ago, the SCCT has experienced persistent water and air infiltration due to building envelope issues. The project scope includes renewal and restoration required to alleviate these issues, along with limited interior work necessary to restore full space function. The building remains operational during normal business hours during project implementation.

Marx|Okubo is providing program management services throughout the programming, planning, design, and pre-GMP construction phase of the project to ensure that all elements of the work meet the required quality, design standards, budget, and construction schedule. It is anticipated that program management services will continue into construction administration once the contractor’s GMP change order is approved.
