The works include providing all required civil, architectural, specialties, fire protection sprinkler system, electrical and fire detection & alarm system, plumbing works, elevator upgrade, generator, lightning protection, and underground electrical distribution system to renovate and upgrade Spellman Hall, consisting of the Academy� s computer center and office wing with five floors.

All works have been accomplished within occupied and 24/7 operational computer area, workshop area and office wing while the academy personnel were facilitating the buildings. Works have been phased in four sections to allow the installation of new HVAC, roofing sprinkler and fire alarm system and switching from existing systems without any power, HVAC and fire protection and alarm. Successful phasing and scheduling was a crucial part of the project as this building is the �brain� of the academy containing all electronic data and classified information. Collette Contracting has performed the construction operations simultaneously in all areas and phases in a very professional manner without disturbing the building occupants without a single complaint. As always, Collette has paid special attention to dust and noise protection and such operations have been performed by close coordination with Fire Department, building occupants and maintenance department. In spite of various revisions and additions, the project is currently scheduled to be completed earlier than contractual completion date.

There was no accident or loss time since the project commencement. Collette Contracting�s performance has surpassed all contract requirements and exceeded many to the government�s benefit.
