Project Details:
The "Tech Center" was designed and built for complete flexibility. At the time, Applied had not yet defined the user group that would occupy this world class facility. Consequently, the main ballroom was built to achieve cleanliness of a class 100 clean room environment. Occupancy ratings included H2 - H7.

A separate structure to house the massive chillers and intensive waste treatment system was a requirement of the project.

A partnership between Graber Simmons & Cowen, an Austin Texas based architect. Obayashi Corporation, and Hathaway Dinwiddie formed the design build entity called GHO, which Applied Contracted with for the project.

As a result of the large dollar amount, Applied's finance and facilities departments required constant reporting of cash flow analysis and forecasts of projected project costs.

Managing the security, data cabling, signage, and ever changing infrastructure needs of the then protégé 300MM wafer machine, were also part of the scope.

While with a previous employer, Keith DeBrine was the project manager on this project

"...Keith was very proactive in managing the client's ever changing needs.
He helped push them to get the design team the answers we needed in order
to keep things progressing on schedule."
