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.
A model for best-practices in design-build delivery, partnering and lean methodology, this massive naval hospital was delivered six months early and $100 million under budget. Located on a 67-acre campus, the hospital features medical facilities for emergency, primary, intensive and specialty care. It also boasts numerous sustainable features and was designed to meet California’s stringent seismic regulations.
Design-build delivery played an instrumental role in realizing the project’s ambitious goals. As a part of this approach, the design team fully integrated with the construction personnel, including key subcontractors. From early design phases through project completion, they collaborated on each design submittal and package to ensure constructability, expedite work and control quality and costs. The design-build project team overcame many challenges — giving their all to further the Navy’s goal of delivering world-class healthcare to the region's military and their families.
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.
