State Employees’ Credit Union

McDonald York has been a partner of North Carolina State Employees’ Credit Union since 2015. From complete renovations to their existing office space to work inside secure mission critical spaces, McDonald York has been trusted with working at their office and branch facilities while remaining operational. We have completed over 150,000 SF of renovations for them. Additionally, we were entrusted to manage the process of running a facility assessment program for multiple branches across the entirety of North Carolina. This effort involved generating an RFP to identify design partners, managing the design partners in their reviews of each individual branch, generating scopes of work for each branch and managing the construction work. This work took place over 15 months and involved 11 branches.

We also have done several projects at the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Facility and managed the construction without impacting plant operations.

Finally, McDonald York has completed several roof renovations to ensure that Duke Energy’s Assets are maintained and in good working order.

The new PEMB building consisted of 16,000 SF of office & lab space and 15,325 SF of warehouse & production spaces. The exterior PEMB package consisted of both brick, decorative metal panels and a radius steel building addition off the office space with insulated metal wall panels. Two loading areas were built in the rear of the building with large coiling doors and (7) other coiling doors were installed throughout the warehouse and production spaces. Multiple growth chambers were installed throughout the production areas. A 500 KW generator was installed to back up the labs, warehouse & production areas.

McDonald York was brought in early to assist with preconstruction services and budgeting as the project was being developed. This helped keep the project within budget while still providing everything the client needed.
