BASF Engagement Center
The BASF Engagement Center Project consisted of 5,400 SF of demoed space where we removed old furniture, lab casework, and equipment. The finished Engagement Center went back together with new lighting consisting of 3’ pendant lights and wall sconces, Armstrong LVT floors, fresh paint throughout the center, and new millwork in the corridor. We rerouted the mechanical systems and added a VAV to accommodate the new needs of the exhibition space. The walk-off mat and wood siding at the vestibule that wrapped the inside and outside of the entrance was replaced. The client added a new AV system in the space that would allow groups to enjoy the newly renovated space. The landscape, patio, and sidewalks were updated to include a water feature and sitting area outside the center.
Pairwise Golden Belt Project
This was a unique project that included the transformation of 31,809 SF of a historic tobacco warehouse with exposed wood columns, beams, and floors into a complete plant science lab with a chef’s kitchen. The new lab space supported the complete life cycle of plant science from media/seed to the plate. Lab space included research lab, freezer farm, tissue culture lab with BSL2 room, and growth chambers. We coordinated and supervised the installation of 2 owner supplied growth chambers. We also installed a new generator to back all lab space and, due to grade changes, we installed a retaining wall to create a level platform.
The Woodburn Condominiums
Reconstruction and expansion of 3 new condominium buildings with a total of 32-units totaling 24,580 SF. Work included new utilities, fire protection, and MEP systems. Architectural finishes included #2 oak hardwood floors, marble tile, ceramic tile showers, French casements windows, custom cabinets with quartzite countertops, and a painted brick veneer. The sitework package consisted of a new storm drain system, utilities, concrete sidewalk, parking lot, and landscaping.
NCSU Poe Hall
2500 SF of classroom and office up-fit. Work consisted of demo and abatement of finishes including framing, Sheetrock, and flooring. Install consisted of new interior framing, Sheetrock, window units, paint, and flooring. New doors and frames with hardware installed. A new HVAC system in the ceiling was completed along with electrical light fixtures and ACT ceiling grid. Challenges on the project included working in an occupied building and fifth-floor construction zone. Noise played a role in the timing of certain trades along with access to the space and liquidated damages on a tight time frame. A highlight of the project is having MYBC work in a higher education space for the first time at NCSU.
Spaces
First–generation office build-out to include collaborative and shared working environments. Much of the construction was glass assemblies to share natural light between spaces but suites also included more private conference and collaboration rooms. Finished adjacent spaces will allow for multiple tenants to share amenities such as a large coffee station, reception areas, restrooms, larger meeting areas, private phone rooms, and administrative/copy areas.
GSA United States Attorneys’ Office
This project, located on floors 20, 21 & 22 located in the Wells Fargo building downtown Raleigh, started with the demolition of 3 existing laws offices back to shell condition. From there construction began re-programming the 48,000 SF space for the needs of the new Eastern District of the United States Attorneys’ Office. This project included atypical design features such as security walls, ballistic walls & STC-rated walls. Interior finishes included new mahogany millwork, chair rail and wainscoting, custom printed broadloom carpet, 3M Designtex wall coverings, custom hollow metal, and aluminum door and window frame systems. Construction of this government space was completed in just over 5 months with existing tenants both above and below the new space.
Ernst & Young
The Ernst & Young Raleigh Headquarters project was a complete build-out of new office construction. The space started as shell space in an occupied building. The design called for a modern office style with several collaboration rooms and administrative spaces on the interior, with an open footprint for a variety of “benching” style systems furniture on the perimeter. The interior consisted of high-end finishes with construction integrated with technology—furniture, IT, digital signage, security, and audio-visual components.
GSA USDA
The multi-phased project consisted of demolition of four floors back to shell condition and reconstructed to meet USDA/APHIS/GSA requirements. The work consisted of new walls, glass storefront, doors and hardware, security hardware, operable partitions, new and reworked MEP, Fire Alarm, and Fire Protection. Each floor was 28,000 SF and was constructed in three phases.
Barnes and Thornburg
Renovation of existing office space for new Raleigh office. Work included minor demolition, new wall installation, ceiling rework, and upgraded finishes. The project was completed on the eleventh floor of an occupied multi-story building with shared loading dock access. Means and methods for coordination with other tenant deliveries and landlord requirements were key factors in the successful completion of this project.
