Novant Health - Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital
October 10, 2017 In

Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital

The new Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital is sandwiched on a tight site between the existing Ortho Hospital and OrthoCarolina. Vannoy provided preconstruction and construction services for the new 3-story, 90,000 sf addition, as well as the 12,000 sf renovation. The facility includes 32 Patient Rooms, state-of-the-art Operating Rooms, Central Processing Department, PACU, Imaging Department, an expansion of their existing Central Energy Plant, Connector Bridge, and Educational Classrooms.

Construction began late in 2015 on this 7-phased project, all of which were managed to limit the impact on hospital operations. The first phase of construction involved relocating the main entrance of the hospital so that construction of the tower could begin. The project also involved relocating all of the main hospital utility services, and included major utility shutdowns and tie-ins. The project was performed with very tight working conditions and limited construction laydown.

WCU Brown Hall

The WCU Brown Hall Renovation and Addition was a NC State Construction Management at Risk project. Brown Hall was composed of over 38,000 sf of renovation and 26,000 sf of addition and also included revamping WCU’s central energy plant. As the CM at Risk, Vannoy delivered over eight months of preconstruction services, which included constructability review, design coordination, budgeting, bid scope development, bid advertisement, public bidding, and a comprehensive Value Engineering from Schematic Design through 100% Contract Documents. Brown Hall was bid in three phases to help mitigate schedule impacts due to design development, while assisting with contract procurement and allowing the project to accommodate non-concurrent activities and shorten the critical path.

Brown Hall provides the university a strategic pivot point between the original campus, student housing, and the College of Art and Sciences, while providing new campus dining options along with an integral Steak-n-Shake and outparcel Starbucks. Additionally, the 2nd Level provides new offices for Student Support Services.

The WCU Steam plant Renovation was funded as an emergency project and Vannoy was able to help ensure the project was a competitive bid, while capturing the economies of scale associated with the concurrent activities of Brown Hall by bidding the project as an alternate. The project required continuous coordination with university maintenance and facilities staff as the major demo and renovation were being completed while the facility remained 100% operational.

Samaritans Purse Warehouse

The Samaritan’s Purse Warehouse, located on 21 acres in North Wilkesboro, included 180,000 sf tilt-up warehouse with an additional 20,000 sf of two-story office space located on the front of the building. 18 bays are located at the back of the warehouse which are used to load medical equipment onto trucks to be taken to ports and shipped all over the world. The building houses inventory from World Medical Mission, the organization’s medical arm, and international disaster relief supplies, including an emergency field hospital and office space. Since there is a tributary on the eastern side of the property, the building sits slightly above ground level to comply with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain standards.
