Providing a full suite of wellness amenities to the community.
DonahueFavret Contractors was selected through a CMAR process to construct this 63,000 SF wellness center that includes outpatient medical clinics, cardio and physical rehab, fitness and exercise studios, exercise and lap pools, outpatient mental health, conferencing/meeting areas, coffee bar/café, short-term childcare, and support services.
The project included early release packages for site stripping and surcharge, and building and parking pads in order to accommodate a fast-tracked schedule. Structural steel was released at the design development phase in order to lock-in pricing and schedule early during current market volatility. This process saved roughly 15% on overall steel cost from the design development to construction documents phase and allowed for an on-time delivery of material to keep the project on schedule.
