Donley’s provided concrete services for University of Virginia’s Alderman Library Renewal project for Skanska. The project built a new 130,000-square-foot addition on roughly the same footprint of today’s stacks and renovated 100,000 square feet of the historic building. The renovated library includes open shelving for extensive holdings, study areas, reading rooms, staff work areas and spaces for scholarly research and preservation of books. The project enhanced circulation to central grounds with a new entrance facing University Avenue.

Our scope included:

• 6 levels of cast-in-place slabs for the new addition
• A new shear wall in the existing building
• Foundations, foundation walls, columns, and framed slabs.
