SAM ALLEY T

here are many ways that construction is like life: Sometimes you have to tear the old down to make way for something new. Careful planning can save a world of headaches. Collaboration is key; safety is paramount. The foundation you build from makes all the difference. And a consistent, genuine recognition that it’s all about people will distinguish you from the pack.

This is what sets VCC apart—I believe that every one of us truly cares. Across the board, individuals in our company build from this foundation of commitment to care for our clients, our fellow employees, and the communities that we work in. We are an important part of people’s lives, and we take this responsibility seriously.

It shows in our talent development and our embrace of technology, in our determination to listen to each other and constantly improve our

processes, and in our commitment to diversity.

It’s clear in our history of giving back and helping those in need, our culture of family, fun, and teamwork, and the respect we show our clients and our colleagues. It shines in our can-do spirit and our values of quality, safety, integrity, and accountability.

All of this ensures that we are able to truly deliver Excellence in Construction, which means more than just building—it means accomplishing something extraordinary together. This would not be possible without the remarkable efforts of every person in the company. So as we celebrate our 30th year in the business, we should all be proud of how far we have come and excited about all that lies ahead. Whatever challenges and triumphs come our way, I am confident that we will experience them as a team—working, living, and giving our all, together.

VCC Headquarters 216 Louisiana St Little Rock, AR 72201

O

n March 17, 1987 in Little Rock, Arkansas, Sam Alley, Gus Vratsinas and Ed DeMoss signed the final papers to start VCC Construction.

While they started with just a few chairs, three small desks and a phone, they had a dream to grow VCC into a leading construction company in the nation.

They were deeply committed to building projects smarter and better than had ever been done before and brought their years of experience in

the industry, along with hard work and a vision, to make it all happen. Quickly, VCC outgrew its small office and moved to 216 Louisiana Street in Little Rock, still our headquarters today. The halls of this very office tell the story of VCC, a company which is deeply committed to their clients and will always go above and beyond to deliver excellence in construction.

hen we started, VCC was just a small construction company with big dreams to be a leader in the industry. Within a few short years we were building projects across various product sectors, working for some of the oldest and most well established clients in the real estate industry, and were recognized in ENR’s top 400 contractors. Today it can be hard to recall that simpler time, 30 long years ago.

Here are a few VCC firsts from our early days: First Project with Simon University Mall (1988) Little Rock, Arkansas First Job Out of State Crossroads Parking Deck (1988) Omaha, Nebraska First Project with GGP SEARS (1990) Pine Bluff, Arkansas First Residence Hall University of Central Arkansas (1992) Conway, Arkansas First Theater United Artist at Santa Rosa Mall (1994) Mary Esther, Florida ENR Top 400 Contractors Went from being ranked #370 to #205 by the end of the first decade.

T

he Fashion Mall was VCC’s first large project that really put us on the map as a large-scale construction company. At the time, mixed-use was a new product in construction and The Fashion Mall included retail, office, hotel and parking. It was our chance to show that we could really handle any size or scope put

in front of us. With retail space over 900,000 square feet, six-story office building, 252-suite hotel, and multiple parking decks with more than 4,000 spaces, our team worked closely with the Simon Property Group to deliver the project to the highest quality, on-time and on-budget.

Even before we expanded to have offices all across the country, giving back to our home in Little Rock, AR became a part of our culture as a company. Early on we had the opportunity to do that with The Hope Lodge. We completed all new construction on this 18,000 square

foot facility. Our scope of work included construction of the living and communal spaces, sitting rooms, kitchens and dining rooms. With over 1 million people diagnosed with cancer each year, the Lodge takes in financially needy patients to live and be supported while they receive treatment. Still today The Hope Lodge continues to serve those in need in Little Rock.

early diversification

MEDICAL PROJECTS E

arly on in our history, VCC expanded its scope of work into various product sectors. This included the healthcare sector. From medical office buildings to academic and research facilities, we started to make our mark in healthcare construction. The first medical project we completed was a Dialysis Center in Little Rock in 1989.

Throughout the first decade we built over 20 projects in the medical field and many of those were for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences school (UAMS). In the late 1800s, eight physicians invested $5,000 to start the first medical school in Arkansas. UAMS was transformed from a small medical school with a charity hospital into an academic health and research center. UAMS now employs over 10,000 people.

In the early 1990s UAMS continued to expand its services and was in need of a heliport and major parking deck expansion.

We completed both of these projects in 1993 and continued to work for UAMS in Little Rock as well as its Northwest Arkansas campus.

rom day one, VCC has had a large footprint in retail construction. It is one of the most detail-oriented and scheduledriven sectors in our industry. Each retail client has specialized needs depending on its brand, tenant coordination, renovations during business operations, and so much more. It takes a construction company who will be your true partner during all phases to make these projects a success. VCC understands the intricacies of

retail construction from the close coordination with local and national account vendors to synchronization of installation schedules, all to best deliver the tenant’s specific vision. For more than three decades, many of the nation’s top retailers and developers have relied on VCC for their retail construction needs. It is what has landed us consistently as the #1 retail contractor in the nation. Here is a closer look at some of our retail projects all across the country.

NORTHFIELD AT STAPLETON First LEED Project Denver, Colorado

his decade was filled with some major milestones for our company.

One in particular was our first Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design LEED (LEED) project, Northfield at Stapleton, in Denver, Colorado. This project was an open-air, 1.2 million square foot town center with shops, restaurants and entertainment. From solar panels that generate electricity, high efficiency plumbing fixtures, an evaporative cooling system and reflective roofs to lower roof temperatures and so much more, Northfield at Stapleton was a prime example of what sustainability was all about.

Nowadays it is hard to think back to when “going green” wasn’t the standard. The U.S. Green Building Council was founded in 1993 with the mission to promote sustainability-focused practices in the construction industry. It wasn’t until 2000 that the USGBC unveiled the LEED rating system that has now become the international standard for environmentally sound buildings.

Northfield at Stapleton was not only VCC’s first LEED project but it was the first green-certified main street project in the country to receive LEED Silver certification. The project was also the first ever to enroll in the Xcel Design Assistance Program (XDAP), a program that offered cash incentives to building owners who follow green building recommendations.

ROOSEVELT FIELD MALL Garden City, New York

A

t more than two million square feet, the historic and trendy Roosevelt Field Mall is one of the largest malls in the United States. With a signature glass and steel roof structure, the renovations to Roosevelt Field take this mall to the next level. In Garden City, New York on Long Island, the mall is located on the airfield that Lindbergh took off from for his flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. The mall includes a Tesla dealership and Macy’s as the anchor department store.

The vision for the renovations of Roosevelt Field Mall included a new Dining District concept, new retail opportunities and a design that would

56

touch all areas of the property and completely transform Roosevelt Field for the 21st century.

VCC renovations included interior and exterior upgrades, renovation and expansion of parking, and a complete food court overhaul. The new food court has an ultra modern flare with a dramatic, sweeping skylight structure overhead.

Our team built a new parking garage next to the existing garages. Due to the proximity of the garage structures, significant efforts were needed to plan project phasing of the sitework and the parking garage structures so that the mall had enough parking available at any time throughout the course of the construction.

wo new retail buildings were added to the existing St. John’s Town Center located in Jacksonville, Florida. At 20-years old, this was the fourth expansion that capped off the luxury wing of the retail destination center. The architectural style was contemporary and high-end. This new project was located on what was an existing parking lot. The exterior hardscaping was elaborately designed while new parking and signage were added to accommodate the expansion.

Accessing the small staging area along with coordinating public safety were challenges that our team worked closely with the owner and architect teams to overcome. The retail center remained open during construction.

his project included the renovation and expansion of the existing 4 story, 60,000 square foot mall. Renovations to the common area included replacement of all finishes from tile, railing and lighting to columns and vertical transportation. Several other custom features were added including two new, fourstory custom glass elevators and a three-story stone “picture frame� to provide visible impact to the newly renovated food court. The mall expansion included the addition of a new twostory, 60,000 sf building and main mall entry.

62

There were many special challenges associated with this project including high levels of pedestrian traffic both during the day and after typical mall hours; limited to no access and storage on site; extreme accessibility challenges that required a custom scaffolding system; extensive unmarked utilities discovered during underground work; and the main entrance to the mall had to be maintained during the construction of the expansion. This was accomplished using tunnels and widespread safety and directional signage.

COLLECTION

RIVERPARK T

he Collection at Riverpark is an outdoor family lifestyle center located along Highway 101 in West Ventura County that includes a wide LEED variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues designed for active shopping and entertainment use both day and night.

VCC’s portion of construction work includes the majority of the site work for over 62 acres, a 16-plex Century Theatres building and the construction of a half a million square feet of retail shell buildings.

The long rows of retail space have varied facade designs amongst 11 connected buildings consisting of metal framing, mechanically-attached clad stone, plaster, fiber cement siding, trellises, sunshades and metal paneling. A special mixture of glass aggregate paving of varied colors decorates the majority of pedestrian walkways. Elaborately designed monumental signage and a few fountains are a part of the impressive hardscaping areas.

Coordinating materials and varied facade designs amongst multiple buildings is an important architectural feature of this lifestyle retail center. The sitework and construction schedule presented a few challenges due to de-watering the site and specific regulations requested for the sum of the construction work. Coordination of a large retail center within a tight schedule was key on this project.

The Collection at Riverpark is a certified LEED project by the USGBC.

n this project, VCC essentially built a city above a garage. At the time, the parking garage was the largest in the country with 8,000 spaces and 38-acres. Unlike most open-air retail and residential projects which have the bulk of their parking above ground, this parking was three-levels beneath the entire development. With 16 color-coded stairwells, the design of the garage took into careful consideration a patron’s ability to find their way throughout the mixed-use center and get people to where they want to go.

VCC organized communications and schedules with multiple developers and government agencies for this project and the entire development included two years of pre-construction.

Atlantic Station holds over 300 special events, and over nine million visitors come here each year. The parking deck is essential in handling the capacity at Atlantic Station.

A

t VCC, we understand that no one succeeds alone—every completed project is the result of intense collaboration between a variety of committed individuals working as a team. Each person brings a different perspective and area of expertise, and together no project is too large or too difficult, no challenge insurmountable.

Nowhere is this clearer than in VCC’s history of trade partners. These skilled professionals bring invaluable experience and knowledge to the project, and VCC’s history of achievements would not have been possible without their contributions.

“Our trade partners have worked hand-in-hand with us to deliver world-class projects over our many years,” Sam Alley says. “We are immensely proud of their ability, performance, and trustworthiness.”

Bill McPherson, COO, adds, “Our trade partners have the resources, know-how, and financial stability to perform to our level of excellence.”

VCC’s trade partners are chosen carefully for every project, matching the project’s unique needs with the strengths and resources offered by each trade partner.

Many of these trade partners have developed long relationships with VCC over the course of multiple projects. The teams work hard together through the entire project to ensure superior construction services and customer care. Mutual trust and responsibility are the key factors; not only do the trade partners reflect the same level of quality that VCC is known for, but the partners are supported and valued.

“Our systems allow our trade partners to become more efficient,” says Jerry Horani, CTO. “That’s what a true partnership accomplishes.”

Derek Alley, Managing Director, echoes these sentiments and puts it succinctly: “Our trade partners are the backbone of our company.”

The bare minimum is to deliver to completion, but you have to go beyond that. To achieve real excellence, you have to take ownership of the project and commit to it fully, heart and soul, in order to truly meet the clients’ needs. Their success is our success.

Biggest IKEA in the Country

IKEA

Burbank, California

CC has completed the largest IKEA to date in the United States. Founded in Sweden in 1943, IKEA is the world’s largest furniture retailer specializing in ready-to-assemble furniture and home accessories. The Burbank location was the first IKEA store in California when it opened in 1990. Our work consisted of approximately 550,000 square feet of demolition. The demolition on the project specifically included removal of 27 existing build-

172

ings while coordinating with open businesses.

Following demolition was the new construction of 470,000 sf of retail space, on a 23-acre site.

Our expansion of this IKEA location allows the store to have a larger quantity of nearly 10,000 exclusively designed items, 50 room settings, three model home interiors, a supervised children’s play area, and a larger restaurant serving Swedish specialties.

his Dick’s Sporting Goods store located within the trendy Palms at Town & Country in Miami, Florida is just one of the many Dick’s our team has completed across the country. The exterior finish materials include traditional and synthetic stucco with a clay tile roof. The store is located on the first floor with offices on the mezzanine. The interior is large enough for patrons to practice golf swings and to try out bows at an archery range. The building has an open ceiling structure and vinyl flooring. Minor demolition work and added structural support was done to the shared wall between the wine shop and the new Dick’s Sporting Goods.

The existing, exterior stucco wall was then furred out and covered with fresh gypsum board. Site utilities were constructed to join the store’s utility lines. During the course of the project, there were heavy rains for 25 consecutive days; still the project was completed on-schedule despite its weather challenges.

signature hunting and fishing retail venue, Bass Pro Shops opened up a new store in a suburban area of Little Rock, Arkansas. The front of the store is marked by a fishing pond that has a bridge over it leading directly into the front door of the store. The 10,000 gallon, fish-stocked aquarium inside is impressively grand with a 40-foot tall faux-rock structure and a cascading waterfall.

Site utilities and the building’s foundation pad were set prior to the start of construction. The building’s structure consists of tilt-up concrete panels with a combined flat and pitched, shingled roof. The exterior finishes include a skim-coated stucco on the concrete panels, wood and stone siding, and large log structures for the entrance and exit. The extent of the sitework included curbs, gutters and asphalt paving.

Natural sunlight floods into the interior space by a clerestory that runs down the middle of the building at approximately 50 feet high. Many of the store’s materials were salvaged and repurposed into custom-looking, rustic elements.

VCC turned over the project to Bass Pro Shops for merchandise stocking four weeks ahead of schedule and the project punch list was completed prior to the building being opened to the public.

This project received a 2015 Excellence in Construction Award from ABC Arkansas!

BECKLEY

INTERMODAL G A T E WAY

T

he Beckley Intermodal Gateway is an avant-garde civic center. Made possible with federal funding, the center replaced a banal asphalt parking lot with a 351-space parking garage that serves many civic functions and provides an increase in centralized downtown parking. The top level of the structure is an outdoor plaza that is utilized for concerts, farmers' markets and other similar civic activities.

Over 16,000 yards of mass rock were removed through rock blasting and extraction. Gaining site access was difficult due to the amount of central downtown vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Developing the site and building on a rocky, steep terrain even through the snowy, frozen winter months was a key challenge to overcome on this project. The project achieved LEED Silver certification with environmentally friendly strategies such as bioswales for stormwater retention and native landscaping for reducing the need for irrigation.

The long, two-story stucco and brick building has an elegant facade that consists of repetitive arched windows and brick inlay patterns. Higher-end interior finishes include fabric wall paneling, acoustical floating ceiling clouds, and decorative iron railings. Installing intricate medical technologies for the classrooms and hospital rooms while following strict LEED regulations and its associated paperwork were keys to this project’s construction success.

Demolition & New Construction

WASHINGTON COUNTY COURTHOUSE PARKING DECK Fayetteville, Arkansas

I

n downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas, Washington County commissioned the removal of an existing parking garage and its replacement with a new updated double parking deck for the County Courthouse.

Adjacent to the Courthouse, the new parking deck provided 303 new spaces. The structural piers were designed to support the first two levels as well as two additional levels planned for a future construction phase.

198

The downtown construction site and staging area are both constrained on three sides by the Courthouse, an attorney’s office and a church building. Protective materials were used for pedestrian safety. While digging for the new foundations and pier supports, the construction team discovered extensive amounts of rock as dense as 26 PSI. Quickly addressing the extra time for rock excavation while keeping on schedule was key on this project.

o support superior performance, VCC values and invests in technological advances. A prime example is VCC’s use of three types of software: BIM, Primavera, and VCC’s own home-grown software, Endeavour. VCC’s teams have successfully integrated all three types for the benefit of customers; this is an important selling tool for prospective clients, and the integration of these types of software means that VCC is able to carefully examine issues that might surface in the future. This risk mitigation means heading off potential problems before they even come to pass.

Customers can be shown Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is a process that allows for the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of places. These digital models also provide valuable information to guide decision-making for construction projects, from the earliest conceptual phase onward. The representations can even be experienced through virtual reality or augmented reality, which is the blended experience of virtual reality with real human interaction.

VCC utilizes Endeavour, a complete construction management solution program. This comprehensive software offers the control and flexibility to make business and workflow changes without limitations. Totally customizable, it can also be integrated with Primavera, and the software’s artificial intelligence can utilize predictive analysis to determine unforeseen issues to serve project planning and risk management.

This all contributes to VCC’s mission. As Jerry Horani, CTO, explains, “We value change, innovation, and efficiency and see it as a path to further success.”

VCC always comes to the table with a solution, has the best people, and we work harder than anybody else.

The Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center (ACNC) added a new floor with four large laboratory spaces, office and conference areas, and renovated other floors to accommodate new functions, and created a separate facility for the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI).

This renovation created highly specialized laboratory spaces, with such features as shielded, soundproof recording rooms for neurological research, airtight door closures, and special epoxy coatings on all surfaces. To complicate an already difficult project, all medical gases and ventilation systems were connected to the existing systems while in operation; because of ongoing research and procedures, it was impossible to shut down during construction.

As well as interior remodeling, the Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute was tied into the existing Research facility, and into the new floor of the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center. All this was completed in the overcrowded, tight quarters of a working hospital.

We wanted to make this 30th year of VCC special by participating in a number events that speak to us as a company and our values. For one, each of our nine offices

held local get-togethers for our clients and trade partners in their region in March, our anniversary month. This gave us an opportunity to say “THANK YOU” to the people who give us the opportunity to be in this business. And we didn’t stop here— throughout the year we were committed to using our social media platform to call attention to our successes throughout our 30 years in the business, and take a walk down memory lane to share how our company has grown, and continues to grow.

We also launched our "30 Acts of Kindness Campaign” where each of our offices pledged to give back and volunteer in their communities throughout the year. By the end of the year, we participated in 30+ charitable events. Giving back is the core of our company and our employees embraced this challenge and delivered.
