Throughout the last several years Lewis has constructed numerous projects for Kaiser as part of our prequalification agreement. Work has included tenant improvements at multiple health care facilities in support of Kaiser’s Total Health Environment initiative, the construction of a new lab and pharmacy at their Sunnyside location, wayfinding signage and a complete upgrade to the mechanical system at their corporate headquarters in Downtown Portland.
The Downtown Campus is a landmark project, which has greatly contributed to the vitality of downtown Eugene. Housing 250 beds, the residential building is targeting LEED Gold while the 90,000 square foot academic building was built for LEED Platinum certification and includes state-of-the-art classrooms, lecture halls, and an energy management lab. The buildings are expected to achieve an energy performance of 50% better than Oregon code and showcase heating, cooling, and ventilation systems which create a “living laboratory”
This “spirit library” features more than 1,500 bottles of quality liquor from around the world. Finishes include reclaimed oak flooring and a custom oak paneled bar with an old fashioned leather top. The Library is set in 2,200 square feet with 25-foot high ceilings, brick walls, aged wood and skylights featuring ornamental stained glass. The space also includes a private tasting room that can be rented for meetings or private tastings.
Housing more than 30,000 square feet of strategic research clusters related to the human brain, molecular biology, nanotechnology, and solar energy, LISB was constructed to allow for collaboration between varying disciplines of science a progressive and pioneering concept in science. In addition to the extensive research space, 46 faculty offices, 10 collaborative spaces, an imaging center that includes an fMRI, a basement and penthouse comprise this four-story LEED Platinum certified building.
In two phases, Lewis built a new baseball park for University of Oregon and the Eugene Emeralds. Phase I consisted of the demolition of a segment of Autzen Stadium’s parking lot, excavation and grading of the baseball field, FieldTurf installation, bullpens, perimeter walls, light and video board structures and temporary dugouts. Phase II construction included the main seating bowl with over 2,500 individual seats, entry plaza and architectural pylons, locker rooms, a team clubhouse, premium seating suites, exposed wood roof canopy, concessions areas, and large public restrooms.
Lewis has performed more than 14 years of ongoing projects at Seattle’s top “lifestyle” retail center. Currently, Lewis is building a new four-story building for a single confidential retailer. The largest projects have involved major new parking garages that each include multi-level retail along one frontage. Other work has included smaller new buildings and remodels, plus tenant improvements such as J.Crew, Blue C Sushi, Eileen Fisher, Tommy Bahama, Fiorini Sports, Bartell Drug, Mud Bay Granary, Mailboxes, Etc., Storables, Pottery Barn Kids, Mercer, Market Optical, and Bright Horizons.
Lewis built a new 280,000 square foot office building with four levels of below-grade parking with 400 spaces. The difficult historic shoreline site included old foundations, debris from the Great Seattle Fire, and a high water table, which the team addressed with an innovative Cutter Soil Mix (CSM) shoring wall. Lewis completed the project two months ahead of schedule, while working between two historic buildings in Pioneer Square. In other Starbucks work, Lewis has built out approximately 700,000 square feet of the company’s headquarters at historic Starbucks Center.
This historic 11-story Downtown building was converted into 92 high-end apartments. Each home includes granite kitchen counters with oak cabinets and stainless appliances. Cherry bathroom vanities feature stainless pedestal legs and custom-beveled mirrors. Sliding “barn doors” separate living rooms from bedrooms. An addition in the back of the building added floor area and formed a spine for the seismic upgrade. Lewis renovated a ground floor bank in advance of the main project, which remained open during construction.
Lewis extensively restored and updated this high school, a Seattle landmark since 1923. Work at the main school building included restoration of the existing historic fade, seismic upgrades, and a reconfigured interior. New construction included an athletic and performing arts center with the addition of the 597 seat Quincy Jones Auditorium. This project has won several awards including the AGC of Washington’s Grand Award in 2009 and NAIOP of Washington’s “Public Project of the Year”.
This 28-story, 520,000 rentable square foot office tower achieved LEED CS Gold (quickly, with no follow-up questions, aided by 13 credits Lewis helped find). The building is structural steel with a concrete core, and features 480 parking spaces both below-grade and on floors 2 and 3. Core construction set a record for cycle time for a Peri system, often just three days per cycle on floors 14-28.
