2016 Little Red Book - Senior Living

HEALTH & WELLNESS
CENTER + PARKING
DECK
This project consisted of a 3-story, 42,000 SF
Health & Wellness Center with Parking deck,
Pool, Rehabilitaon Center, and Resident
Rooms. The exisng kitchen serves three
meals a day to 350 residents and approximately
250 staff. As kitchen deliveries are made via
the loading dock it must remain operaonal
throughout construcon. Since the new HWC
would restrict access to the loading dock,
APM developed a sequence of construcon
to provide temporary access via the use of
a man li and temporary pla orm, prior to
construcon commencing. APM managed this
complex task to design, permit, schedule, and
physically relocate the ulies in order to meet
schedule requirements. The inial Schemac
construcon cost esmate had a mulmillion
dollar overage. APM developed value
engineering to reduce the construcon cost
without affecng the required programming.
EXISTING TOWER RENOVATIONS
The most challenging aspect of this project was that the exisng facility is
operaonal twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Due to the constrained
site, every part of the construcon process affected the Owner’s
daily operaons, as well as the residents’ lives. Construcon was proposed
to occur around three quarters of the exisng building, the first three floors
would be renovated, and both entrance drives would be torn up and reconstructed
with new ulies. The Owner’s preliminary plan was to construct
the enre project all at once in a twenty-four month period. APM
evaluated this approach and determined that it would be too intrusive on
the daily operaons of the facility. A longer, but phased and sequenced
construcon schedule was developed, which minimized the disrupon to
facility operaons and the residents’ lives by liming the number of reloca-
ons of operaons and exisng residents to the fullest extent possible. This
new phased construcon approach allowed the Owner and Contractor to
cohabitate onsite in harmony.
