Hume Hall Dormitory Demolition

GLE has served as the primary asbestos consultant for the University of Florida (UF) since 1997. Since then, we have successfully performed over 624 projects with services in the areas of asbestos and lead-based paint (LBP) consulting, including contract administration, facility surveys, asbestos and LBP abatement design and asbestos/LBP project monitoring. Our services have also included radon testing, industrial hygiene sampling, indoor air quality building commissioning and environmental site assessments. Under our continuing contract, we provide services in the areas of asbestos consulting, including contract administration, facility surveys, asbestos abatement design and monitoring. These services have been performed for the University of Florida Physical Plant’s Architecture/Engineering Department, the University Health Center, UF Housing, UF Institute of Food and Agricultural Services (IFAS), and UF Campus Planning and Construction Management.

GLE has recently provided professional consulting services for the “deconstruction,” demolition design and hazardous materials abatement of the 150,000 gross square foot (gsf) Hume Hall, centrally located on the Gainesville campus. This unique project included requirements for the salvage and/or recycling of approximately 14,000 cubic yards (CY) of concrete and block, 400 tons of scrap iron and rebar, approximately 300 CY of brick and the removal and replanting of 30 trees from the site. In addition, the project included the asbestos abatement of approximately 120,000 SF of floor tile and mastic, 2,000 linear feet of thermal system insulation and roof flashing material.  

GLE has also provided demolition and hazardous material abatement design services for the 12,000 gsf Auditorium and Band/Chorus Buildings at the UF/P.K. Yonge Developmental School. We have provided asbestos consulting services for over 300 projects over the past seven years, ranging from asbestos surveys to abatement design and monitoring.
