JOHN P. BARBER, CPA | OWNER for WHITE OAK MANAGEMENT, INC.
GME RESIDENCY
GREER, SC | CM AT-RISK
Harper was selected to provide preconstruction and construction services for the new medical office facility located in Greer, SC. The facility is a two-story design and consists of approximately 35,000 SF. The facility includes examination rooms, waiting rooms, break rooms, offices, and a lobby. There are three separate practices within the building; Prisma Health Center for Family Medicine, Prisma Health Center for Neurology, and Center for Psychiatry. This building includes training rooms and an x-ray room for the practices. One challenge of the project included truss design that was not done with MEP systems in mind. We spent a lot of time working in BIM to route ductwork and plumbing piping through the trusses so we did not have to lower ceiling heights. Also, roofing insulation system lead times kept pushing back from manufacture. We installed temporary ice and water shield over the metal decking so the interior finishes could continue per the original schedule.
PRISMA HEALTH AT VERDAE
GREENVILLE, SC | CM AT-RISK
This project is a 60,000 SF medical office building on a 6.5 acre site. The scope included construction of interior improvements for six practices: MD 360, Bariatric, ATI Physical Therapy, OBGYN, Pre-Assessment, and Gastroenterology. Additionally, there are shared break rooms, staff support space, and meeting areas in the building to add additional efficiencies in the program. The building was designed with traditional steel, cast stone, and brick veneer. In addition, the building utilizes DOW Thermax Xarmor (ci) and DOW Liquid Armour envelope system. Fabrication-level BIM coordination process was utilized on this project.
NEW HORIZON FAMILY HEALTH SERVICES
GREENVILLE, SC | DESIGN-BUILD
Harper partnered with Greenville Health System and New Horizon Family Health Services to build this affordable healthcare facility in downtown Greenville, SC. Located across the street from Greenville Memorial Hospital, the New Horizon facility featured a 64,000 SF state-ofthe-art medical facility, parking spaces, and significant site improvements. This design-build project allowed for collaboration among the owners and project team to address community needs, as well as challenging site and infrastructure questions. Due to a complex site with an adjacent, existing “blue stream” tributary to the Reedy River, Harper utilized an 8-phase site development plan in conjunction with supplemental storm water control barriers, built a 15’ retaining wall and an onsite, underground storm water detention system, to produce an effective and attractive landscape. As a result of these efforts, no site sediment loss occurred during 14 months of construction activities. Harper assisted with the project design, preconstruction budgeting, value engineering, and full-service construction phase services. Harper also offered additional assistance to the owner with start-up and operational needs.

The building was constructed using a concrete slab, wood framing, and brick veneer. Millwork was used in common areas like treatment rooms, therapy rooms, kitchens, dining areas, bistro or café, and nurses’ stations. The millwork also included wood crown molding, wood base, and other wood trim details. Some specialties installed were handrails, crash rails, corner guards, and a sprinkler system throughout the building.
