PROJECT MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Matt Wintjes Assistant Project Manager
Over the past month construction has rapidly progressed. The Kresge Addition is moving along and even though there has been a slight delay with the exterior finish of the building, all of the crews have continued to rough-in the interior of the building. All of the new resident rooms have been framed and the mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-ins are nearing completion. It’s exciting to see that drywall is being hung and prime and first coat of paint is on the schedule for the beginning of September. The McMullen Wellness Center has been making giant strides in the productivity department with all of the block walls being erected with exterior brick following closely behind. In preparation for the pool construction, Baruzzini Contracting, the pool contractor, has been working closely with Wilbur Plumbing laying out all of the underground piping as designed. Working in the tight building footprint has required effective communication to ensure that the two piping systems are installed at their correct elevations to alleviate any interferences. Once all of the pipes are stubbed out in their correct locations the excavation and installation of the pool shell will commence. The overall site has begun to see a face-lift with the completion of the Triplett Building demolition and fine grading underway. In the upcoming month, the exterior concrete, including sidewalks and curbs, will be installed and the base course of asphalt will be following shortly thereafter.
