At the core of The Renaissance Project lies the Central Utility Plant (CUP), which provides the energy necessary to maintain a fully functional medical center, making it an essential part of The Renaissance Project. The task for this project was to design and construct the new CUP while keeping the existing medical center operational, making the design coordination crucial to avoid any surprises during construction.

Gabriel's involvement in the project's construction was his first experience in construction administration. This pivotal experience contributed significantly to his holistic approach to designing and documenting architectural details.
