Watauga High School

This project included a new, three-story 302,000 sf high school situated on 92 acres. Design features included a radius roof dominant massing element, curtain walls and a central commons area. The high school is designed as “Designed to Earn the ENERGY STAR” and is LEED silver registered and will achieve 38% in energy reduction in comparison to their previous facility. LEED/ sustainable materials and methods employed consist of water harvesting cisterns, gray water domestic plumbing, solar tubes and daylighting, waste management, light fixture control, no VOC emitting materials as well as a geo-thermal HVAC system powering the entire facility. Along with the main structure, the project included a football stadium, soccer stadium, field house and concession areas as well as tennis courts, baseball and softball fields and outbuildings. This project was a joint venture.

Mauzy-Phillips Center

The 35,000 sf Mauzy-Phillips Center was built on unsuitable soils and required heavy undercut work and reconstruction in order to achieve a workable building pad. The site was an old mine waste pit which included mine extract and poor soils. Because of this the building pad had to be undercut 12’ and new good soil along with additional stone was required to be backfilled and compacted so that foundation work could begin. The MOB site was located in the rear of the Blue Ridge Regional Hospital Campus and required new utilities to be brought to the building site. In order to do this we had to coordinate with the hospital lane closures and parking lot shutdowns to keep the Hospital operations ongoing and unaffected, which we did successfully. In addition to the retaining wall we encountered 25 lost days of work due to bad weather and still met our original finish date for the core and shell of May 1, 2015. We were able to overlap the core and shell and upfit construction in order to turn the upfit work over to Mission Health one month after the core and shell was completed. In order to do this it required a lot of planning and work upfront to provide temporary environmental control inside the building without having the exterior completed. The facility consisted of an Xray, Ortho Clinic, and Laboratory Services on the first floor including physicians practice areas and exam rooms and the second floor included and Endoscopy Suite with procedure rooms and holding bays along with exam rooms and physicians practice areas.

Haywood Medical Office Building

The new, 34,000 sf state-of-the-art Haywood Medical Office Building will be readily accessible and build upon strong traditional clinical care with an added focus on health and wellness. The site will include dedicated physicians and clinical staff, as well as, significant telemedicine capabilities that will help avoid the need to travel to Asheville for even some of the most complex care. In addition to primary care, the facility also offers rotating specialty services including wound care, orthopedics, and physical therapy. The Mission Health Complex, listed under the MyCare Plus brand, went from groundbreaking to grand opening in less than nine months and has plenty of room to grow on its 23-acre site. The goal for Mission is to move away from a very hospital-centric model to a very at-your-side model of care for the community.

SCC Administrative Building

Completed by Vannoy Construction in 2012, the 38,000 sf, three-story glass curtain wall and brick veneer building features two glass atriums and a 3rd floor pedestrian bridge which connects to the main campus. The facility has 48 geothermal wells, which supply the HVAC system and reduce the total lifecycle cost of the building. This new building includes a bookstore, classrooms, and office suites, and has become a flagship landmark for Southwestern Community College.
