This document summarizes observations from the construction site of the Millennium Science Complex on the Penn State University campus. It describes the activities observed such as waste removal, material transportation, and concrete decking formwork. It also discusses the manpower and equipment used, including a telescopic forklift, mini excavator, concrete pump truck and two cranes. In addition, it covers construction management issues, safety considerations, and research on the topic of concrete, which is being used for the slab on grade, foundation walls, and concrete decking of the new complex.

Editor's Notes
- #3: With this project, we hope to inspire a higher level of interest in the construction and construction management process in addition to a better understanding of the responsibilities of individuals in the construction management field.
- #14: Fast-tracking Construction started in July 2008, plans finalized in September 2008Both contracting company (Whiting-Turner Construction Company) and general contractor (Leonard S. Fiore, General Contractor) on site.Whiting-Turner Construction Company specializes in Construction Management projects, including CM at Risk. CM at Risk used for the construction of current Life Science building
