PROJECT MANAGEMENT UPDATE
Matt Wintjes Assistant Project Manager
Over the past month, the construction onsite has continued to progress and all the trade contractors are putting in the manhours to keep up with the demands. The site has been graded and each trade is consolidating their materials in order to start paving the site. Jon Hegwer, Pat Roussey and Solomon Lamb have coordinated extensively with the trades to ensure they have adequate access to each building as the majority of the site will be designated to asphalt paving and site concrete in the interim. The McMullen Wellness Center is moving along steadily as Jon has the trades focusing the work on the walking track. The construction team has set a goal to complete the upper level by the end of October in order to have all of the trades shift their focus to the lower level at that time. Once the pool construction is complete, trades can begin retrofitting the space with the finer details, including the suspended mechanical, electrical and plumbing finishes and the setting tile and flooring finishes. The Kresge Addition is heading in the right direction as all of the miscellaneous odds and ends are nearing completion. The exterior masonry work is almost complete and all of the window frames and glass are being installed to allow the building to become weather tight. As the inside of the building becomes acclimated, drywall finishing and painting will be at the forefront of activities to complete in preparation for mechanical, electrical and plumbing finishes as well as casework and flooring install. In the next few weeks the construction team will be coordinating the tie in to the existing south wing of the Kresge building, which once complete will serve as the connection to the new addition.
