Parkland Health and Hospital System, Ron J. Anderson M.D. Outpatient Clinic

This 227,421 project for Parkland Health and Hospital System is a 5-story, outpatient clinic with 171 exam rooms and 12 treatment room serving Urology, Neurology, ENT, Imaging, Cardiac Rehabilitation, Pre-Anesthesia and Surgical Exam services.  To further support the clinic services there are multiple MRI, CT and X-ray rooms.  Construction included connecting an existing second story pedestrian tunnel.

This project was a joint venture with JEDunn Construction.

CoreLogic – North Texas Operations Office

Part of the Cypress Waters development in Dallas, Texas, this 327,000 SF 4-story shell tilt-wall office and parking garage serves as a new regional headquarters for CoreLogic bringing 1,300 local employees from the existing Westlake and Richardson locations.   The embedded CoreLogic logo on the building was achieved through the use of a fritted glass technique whereby the color is integral of the glass and not a decal or applied sticker.  Rogers-O’Brien documented 49 weather-delay days during the construction of this project. The entire building site was matted to prevent sinking and sandbags used.  Even with significant weather delays the building was delivered on time.  Through buy-out savings Rogers-O’Brien was able to return $640,992 to the owner which they used for tenant-improvement upgrades.

CyrusOne Data Center

Building II started as site retaining walls only for two new building additions adjacent to the current site and then evolved into the entire Building 2 facility including data center ft up complete in 7.5 months. This tilt-wall and precast structure houses a single tenant (Fortune 100 client) with 18 MW of critical load, totaling 188,617 SF. With a 7.5 month schedule, this ground-up project was completed on time from start to a fully commissioned data center with 4 months of around-the-clock construction. To reduce noise to an adjacent residential neighborhood and two separate utility yards, 30’ tall sound barrier walls were installed on the entire west side of the project site. These walls consisted of poured-in-place concrete, tilt panels and precast at various areas of the building  to remain within the sound ordinance levels.

King of Prussia Mall Expansion

Simon Property Group, Inc. selected IMC as the construction manager for the expansion of King of Prussia Mall, the nation’s second largest shopping mall. The ambitious expansion connects the existing independent court and plaza sections of the mall, which were previously divided by parking.

The King of Prussia Mall expansion offers over 70 new retailers in a 155,000-square-foot elevated link that allows shoppers to traverse the entire length of the mall without having to exit the facility. An upscale dining pavilion, customer lounge, and new parking deck are components of the project. The main corridor includes floor-to-ceiling windows, seating areas with device-charging stations, a concierge-level guest services counter, and other amenities. The new parking garage features space-location technology. Construction was undertaken in multiple phases with detailed protection/logistics plans to keep the mall open and operational during the two-year construction period.

The expansion was named the ACE Mentor Program Eastern Pennsylvania 2016 Suburban Project of the Year for its design and construction collaboration and teamwork and a Best Real Estate Deal of 2016 by the Philadelphia Business Journal.

Augusta University Student Housing

The Georgia Board of Regents (BOR) has signed a long-term lease agreement with Corvias to develop, maintain, and operate student housing on multiple campuses across the state over the next 65 years. Augusta University is one of seven campuses receiving student housing in phase one of this public-private-partnership.

The student housing at Augusta University is split into two separate five-story buildings – one for graduate students and another for undergraduate students. The undergraduate building is comprised of 412 beds in 145 suite and semi-suite style units totaling over 97,665 SF, while the graduate building has 312 beds in 305 apartment style units totaling 171,330 SF.

Focusing on the complete student experience, the undergraduate building also includes a large, 2,775-SF multi-function “connect” space. Other amenities in both buildings include common kitchens, lounges, laundry, and study areas. Finishes are typical of an institutional dormitory building utilizing a mix of carpet tile and ceramic tile flooring in the dorm units.

Site construction includes the abatement and demolition of five existing dormitory buildings on the eight acre site. Storm water is funneled into three separate underground detention systems installed across the site. A 301-space asphalt surface parking lot is installed to the south of the dormitories.

Both buildings are Type III wood frame construction supported by conventional shallow/spread footings with a slab-on-grade. The exterior skin of both buildings is comprised primarily of brick masonry with cement panel accents and stucco at the upper floors. Both buildings utilize VTAC mechanical systems with a mix of local water heaters for the graduate apartments and a central hot water boiler system for the undergraduate units.

Halyard Healthcare

Following the spin-off from Kimberly-Clark Clark Corporation, Halyard Health relocates their headquarters office to Kimberly-Clark’s campus in Alpharetta, GA. Four floors within two office buildings are renovated in an extremely fast-paced four-month schedule. Halyard Health is a global healthcare company focused on preventing infection, eliminating pain, and speeding recovery.

Full height glass doors lined with Halyard’s distinct logo allow guests to enter through various other points of entry. Upon entering Halyard’s main lobby, guests are greeted by porcelain Italian tile floors and a fumed Aspen wood reception desk. Halyard’s logo is prominently displayed against custom millwork wall panels. Canted display walls with additional printed vinyl decals create an unmistakable sophistication in elevator lobbies. Elevator lobbies and conference areas are illuminated by 5-foot cylindrical mud-in lighting fixtures. A skyfold partition is installed in the large conference room.

In the six breakrooms throughout the corporate office, Italian porcelain tile backsplash plus custom millwork panels evoke the modern atmosphere felt throughout the entire office. The renovation encourages employee collaboration and engagement. Breakaway rooms made for small conferences include full monitors and backlit LED lighting lining the wall, facilitating mobile conferencing. Comfortable seating plus full internet capabilities allow for a shared work environment in the mobile lounge. Nearly 80% of the sheetrock in the office is covered with writable wall surfaces, enhancing employee teamwork. Scheduling monitors are installed outside all rooms with meeting capabilities to eliminate any scheduling complications. Wellness rooms provide a place for relaxation and healing for new and expectant mothers or employees feeling under the weather.

Central core areas feature custom designed booths complete with Halyard’s distinct colors, full bar-height island, fumed Aspen millwork, and elegant Cambria quartz side panels. Employees can enjoy a sophisticated coffee bar with a high-end espresso maker and monitors. BuzziSpace, a sound-absorbing felt, is installed in common core areas allowing for acoustic deafening. LED lighting throughout these areas have occupancy sensors to allow for energy efficiency. Custom display cabinets are installed outside of core areas, showcasing the company’s products.

One of the largest and most unique areas in this multi-faceted project is the laboratory space. A see-through custom ducted, stainless steel fume hood is installed, allowing employees to view experiments occurring in the lab. As employees enter the lab, all of the printed vinyl decals on the full height glass doors showcase the patent numbers of all of Halyard’s products. Welded chemical resistant vinyl floors and multi-faceted millwork clouds hang above all lab islands, creating the look of a sail. These millwork clouds aid in both lighting and acoustics, absorbing sound created in the laboratory. Each lab island is equipped with epoxy resin tops, medical gases, and completely deionized water systems. Mock-up rooms allow customers to see all of the company’s products in motion, offering true-to-life and fully operational surgery rooms with surgical lighting and medical equipment.

Halyard’s basement contains a machine shop prototype room, installed for new product development. An environmental chamber allows employees to modify the controlled environment, including humidity and temperature, to facilitate product reaction experimentation.

To allow for the sophisticated equipment installed throughout the building, a steel platform is built on the roof housing mechanical equipment and exhaust units. A screen is installed around the equipment, featuring 15-foot Alucobond metal panels and covering 40-by-90-feet, to obscure visibility from the road. A synthetic rubber 60-mil roof is added with a wire platform to support the mechanical equipment and exhaust units.

The Commons at University of North Georgia

The Georgia Board of Regents (BOR) has signed a long-term lease agreement with Corvias to develop, maintain, and operate student housing on multiple campuses across the state over the next 65 years. University of North Georgia is one of seven campuses receiving student housing in phase one of this public-private-partnership.

With enrollment increasing exponentially, the need for student housing has risen at the University of North Georgia. Two student housing buildings totaling 118,268 SF join the compendium of residence life at the University of North Georgia adding 540 beds in 169 suite and semi-suite style dormitory units. The buildings are located on a 2.65 acres site surrounded by the campus on all sides. Common areas include gathering rooms, study lounges, laundry rooms, and a connect room featuring billards, foosball, and a projector screen. Finishes are typical of University of North Georgia’s current dormitory standards, utilizing a mix of carpet tile and luxury vinyl tile flooring in the dorm units.

Four existing duplexes are removed from the site and one existing staff apartment is demolished to make way for the dormitories. With over 60 feet of elevation change from one end to the other on the site, the buildings needed slab-on-grade at five different elevations to accommodate the topography.

Both buildings utilize a partial podium slab configuration for the first level with three and four stories of wood framing above. The exterior skin is comprised primarily of brick masonry with cast stone accents and cement panel siding at upper elevations. Exposed timber canopies accent the building entrances. The roof is an architectural asphalt shingle with IPE decking at the roof terrace for student lounging.

The mechanical system utilizes VTAC units in the dorms and a centralized boiler provides domestic hot water.
