Project Details:
The Science and Engineering Quad (SEQ) consists of three major focal points, the Electrical Engineering Building, the McCullough Annex and the Connective Elements all designed by Pei Cobb Freed of New York.

The Electrical Engineering Building, totaling 109,427 s.f. acts as an office building with research labs on the basement level. From the 18-foot foundation walls and massive interior sheer walls to the French imported limestone skin, "EE" combines very sophisticated structural design and construction with classic and timeless architecture.

The McCullough Annex, 40,000 s.f., has an H7 occupancy rating and provides laboratories for the Stanford Physics department to perform their research and studies. In completing this project, the most challenging task was coordinating the central utilities such as the LN2, DI water, processed chilled water, and compressed air.

Tying these two focal points of the Stanford campus together is the design element known as the Connective Elements. Limestone walkways, fabric covered arcades, and a marvelous landscape, including the European touch of olive trees, provide for one of the most beautiful quads you'll find on any campus.

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

“…under the previous construction manager, our costs were out of control and there was no means of tracking or managing the project costs. We did not know when the job would complete and there were many outstanding contractor and subcontractor claims. Within a short timeframe of taking charge, you were able to forecast our final costs, make professional and cost effective decisions in the field, settle outstanding claims, and negotiate an acceptable project completion date. Your monthly reporting has been very effective in keeping us informed on the project. We are very thankful and you should feel fortunate to have such an effective individual as Keith DeBrine within your organization. His construction expertise, professionalism, and affable personality make him a pleasure to work with….”
