A seismic retrofit on one of St. Louis’ largest office buildings, McCarthy completed the project for the General Services Administration (GSA) while the building remained 100 percent occupied.
Structural seismic renovations typically include either all concrete or all steel sheer walls throughout the building. In order to complete both the seismic retrofit and other non-structural components of the project within the budget, the McCarthy design-build team developed an innovative and less invasive solution that included a combination of concrete shear walls and a seismic damper system. The solution reduced the number of shear walls required, reduced installation time and made the installations less disruptive for occupants.
The design-build team added 5,280 tons of weight to the building without using any cranes. View the full case study to find out how.
In construction the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Mortenson | McCarthy Joint Venture led a team of more than 100 firms to complete one of the country’s largest design-build projects under budget and on time, despite a demanding 32-month construction schedule.
The seven-acre ethylene tetrafluoroethylene roof is suspended 195 feet in the air by 100 lightweight stainless-steel cables to create an outdoor feel in a temperature-controlled facility. To erect the 24-ton system, contractors spread the 800-foot cables across the stadium’s lower bowl and hoisted them into place.
The Allegiant Stadium project schedule was developed in concert with trade partners and updated weekly with actual progress reports and fragments resulting from the week’s activities. The schedule was a 4D model, which was updated monthly.
Currently under construction, the Applied Research Building (ARB) is a very specialized, one-of-a-kind research facility designed specifically for UA applied research programs. This three-story building has a variety of programmed spaces, including high bay payload assembly areas, a large scale thermal vacuum chamber, unique research / customized laboratories, clean rooms, faculty offices, collaboration spaces, and conference rooms.
The ARB is a design-build project integrating University of Arizona Research Innovation and Impact, Planning, Design & Construction, and the McCarthy/SmithGroup team. Collaboration with the project partners was an essential part of the design-build process and will allow the team to truly bring this one of kind building to life.
The Emory Johns Creek Parking Deck is a design-build parking structure that provides an additional 640 spaces to support the needs of the Emory Johns Creek Hospital campus. With the existing parking being a single surface lot, the introduction of a new parking structure needed to be complementary to the existing hospital building architecture. Use of a similar materials pallet comprised of brick, cast stone, and metal panel cladding helped ensure a familiar aesthetic was maintained.
Utilizing the design-build delivery method allowed the project team to build a fully functional parking structure as quickly as possible and allowed for strong coordination amongst the owner, program manager, architect, contractor and consultants. The team developed and implemented an integrated project schedule where all design and construction milestone dates were achieved, and the project team finished two weeks ahead of schedule. The high-quality design was realized and documented within the budget, and the project was completed with only one change order.
The 160,000-square-foot, 8-story interdisciplinary science building houses teaching laboratories, research laboratories, and laboratory support areas for the Biology and Chemistry departments, administrative space, instructional areas, conference rooms, high performance computing areas and student collaborative spaces. This project is a primary driver in elevating the university’s science programs, with goals including setting the new design standard for the campus and to be the most technologically advanced building on campus.
As industry leaders in collaborative delivery and planning, McCarthy+Flad are pushing the boundaries of project delivery innovation and collaboration, developing an understanding that the foundation for effectiveness with an Integrated Delivery Team is the formation and utilization of Functional Teams to promote speed and advance team effectiveness.
The new 97-acre, $1.7 billion western headquarters of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will provide safe, secure, and efficient facilities that will meet the agency's long-term requirements and vision for Geospatial-Intelligence. With more than 200 team members nationwide, the design-build team’s collaborative strategy was based on a four-tier governance structure comprised of project delivery teams, project leadership team, executive leadership team and senior executive board.
Upon completion, the project will accommodate new technologies and processes that will generate beneficial synergies through integration, collaboration, and geospatial data immersion. The 'purpose-built' facility will provide an open flexible work environment that is scalable, reconfigurable, and adaptive to changing mission requirements and the associated changes in workflow and data sharing methodologies.
