PROJECT MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Matt Wintjes Assistant Project Manager
Welcome back to another edition of Building Together! Another finish line has been reached for the construction team during the month of April. The McMullen Wellness and Aquatic Center hosted its grand opening on April 17th welcoming residents, staff, family and friends into United Methodist Retirement Communities’ newest addition to the campus. At a glance, the McMullen Wellness and Aquatic Center offers a walking track, fitness area with exercise equipment, a swimming pool with a current river, a spa with a waterfall, a sauna and locker rooms with a steam shower. If you were in attendance, you would’ve heard about all the “opportunities” this project presented throughout the course of construction. If you ask any member of the construction team they will tell you that this was a challenging building to construct, but what they will also tell you is that it was well worth it. A thank you to Architects Design Group, Innerspace Design Inc., UMRC Construction Operations and all of our trade contractors for their hard work, perseverance and collaboration throughout the project; it was a pleasure to be a part of the vision and an honor to work alongside you all. The construction continues around the campus as Phase 1 of the Kresge renovations is moving full steam ahead. The finishes on the first and second floors have begun, including ceiling grids, flooring prep, carpeting, paint and wall coverings. All of our trade contractors have been working together effectively and efficiently in the small footprint they are confined to. As we roll into warmer weather, the construction team will be completing the asphalt paving and fine tuning any grading onsite that may have been disturbed during the freeze and thawing of the changing seasons.
