- FireplacesThe Burcham Hills project was a 10,000 square foot addition to their Health and Rehabilitation Center. The first floor of the three-story addition included a new Physical Therapy Suite to help rehabilitate patients recovering from injuries. This includes using real world elements, such as stairs or ramps, floor transitions, and retrieving items from shelves; all to prepare patients to return to independent living. As part of the physical therapy, an apartment was created to help the patients readjust to daily tasks such as making the bed, opening the curtains, using the stove and sink, and maneuvering around home furnishings. The second and third floors contain identical spaces of new expansive living and dining rooms. Each living and dining area has floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of the incredible views of the landscape, woods and hills that surround Burcham Hills. Each living and dining room also contains a fireplace and woodwork to provide the residents with the feel and amenities of home. The dining rooms are supported by serving kitchens to allow servers to provide diners quick, personal service. The walkout patio and balcony allows residents and visitors to enjoy beautiful spring and summer days in a more natural setting.
- New Construction
- MasonryThe Cooley Center is the result of a complete reconfiguration of the Commerce Center, a fourteen story office building constructed in 1970. To accommodate the interior design and systems needs of the Owner, the building was structurally transformed into a ten-story facility by removing 8 of the 14 floors and building 4 new floors in the resulting voids; all remaining floors were reinforced for higher structural loading. The glass exterior of the original building was completely removed and replaced with a reinforced masonry wall system featuring brick and limestone accented by two-story expanses of glass curtain wall. The 222,000 square foot Cooley Center houses the law school’s administrative, faculty and student services offices.
