Farleigh Dickinson University
Florham Park and Teaneck, New Jersey

Torcon has completed projects for Fairleigh Dickinson University at both its Florham Park/Madison and Hackensack/Teaneck campuses. Our recent experience includes new dormitories at both sites.
Stadler-Zenner Academic Building
A new two-story, 84,000 square-foot building in Madison hosts academic classrooms and faculty office space. The ground floor also includes a kitchen and dining facilities.
The project was completed under a design/build contract to provide more efficient construction and overall project management for FDU. Brick masonry façade with punched windows featuring accent lintels and sills to match the surrounding buildings. Large stone columns from an older building formerly occupying the site were incorporated into the building design.
Dickinson Hall Renovation
Retrofit of FDU’s 170,000 square-foot dental school, which had been shut down for several years. The five-story building was converted to classroom and office use. New facilities include wet labs for biology and chemistry, dry labs, classroom and lecture halls. The phased demolition and construction allowed for early occupancy of public and office areas.
Three University Plaza Office Building
Construction of a new six-story, 210,500 square-foot office building as part of a corporate office park on university property. Unique masonry design provides 12 corner offices per floor.
New Student Residence—Teaneck
Construction of a new four-story, 80,000 square-foot residence hall to accommodate 300 students in 150 two-student suites with private bathrooms. The building also provides four student apartments and laundry facilities.
New Student Residence—Florham Park
A five-story,. 88,000 square-foot residence hall for 300 students, with five student apartments. Load bearing masonry walls and precast concrete plank flooring. The façade is a brick veneer on masonry backup with a shingle roof over metal trusses.
