This multi-phase campus improvement program enhances resident experience through a 5,000-SF amenity space, a 15,000-SF lobby renovation, exterior connectivity improvements, and vital infrastructure upgrades, all delivered on an active and occupied senior living campus. Through careful planning, technical precision, and close coordination with campus staff, the project positions the community for future growth while minimizing disruption to residents.

Exterior Connectivity and Campus Identity

The first phase focused on exteriors, introducing a covered corridor that connects three buildings and significantly improves all-weather access for residents and staff. Aging balconies were replaced with durable timber and stone elements. At the request of the residents, openings were created between adjacent balconies to facilitate communication between neighbors. The result is a cohesive community that supports mobility and comfort in all seasons.

Infrastructure Upgrade: Chiller & Power Resiliency

A critical central plant phase replaced an aging chiller and reworked power distribution serving three residential buildings and one amenity space. The team navigated 30-year-old drawings to locate existing lines, relocated a transformer, and rerouted power under tight seasonal constraints. Work was executed during a summer heat wave, with temporary generator power maintaining cooling and essential services while final connections were completed. The transition from temporary to permanent power was flawless, ensuring uninterrupted comfort and securing the community’s power and cooling capacity for years to come.
