McGrath begins Construction of New Elevator Bank at Barnes-Jewish Hospital Center for Advanced Medicine

Published on
/

McGrath & Associates has begun construction on two new glass hydraulic elevators in the atrium of the Center for Advanced Medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.  McGrath is serving as the design/build construction manager and general contractor on the $1.6 million project.  Ottolino Winters Huebner (OWH) is the architect and KAI Design & Build is the mechanical, engineering and plumbing (MEP) engineer.  OES, Inc. is the structural engineer.

The hydraulic glass elevators will improve patient and visitor circulation between the new Barnes-Jewish Parkview Tower and the Center for Advanced Medicine, while maintaining the open aesthetics of the building’s central atrium. The new elevators will navigate from the first through the fourth floors.  To support the elevator, McGrath will cut through the first floor and install structural steel into the lower level and the subbasement.

Because the space will be used by the public throughout construction, McGrath is implementing strict safety measures by building a temporary partition measuring 70′ tall x 30′ wide x 15′ deep, to enclose the construction. The project is scheduled for completion in May 2018.

McGrath & Associates is a 100 percent employee-owned general contractor and construction management firm specializing in commercial, health care, industrial, institutional and pharmaceutical construction projects since 1983.

U.S. Paint, a developer and manufacturer of high-quality customized automotive and industrial paints and coatings, has contracted McGrath & Associates to design/build a new $5 million warehouse at their facility in downtown St. Louis.

During phase one, McGrath will erect a new pre-engineered metal building to provide new office space, a maintenance shop, a battery charging area and storage for raw materials. A connecting link will tie the new building into an existing manufacturing building to allow covered access for forklift truck traffic.

During phase two, the existing raw materials warehouse will be demolished and a new building erected to provide space for a quality control lab and liquid materials storage.

U.S. Paint, which employs 70 people, was the first company in the U.S. to sell urethane coatings and has developed new technologies for resins and multi-coat application. The company was acquired last year by the Japanese company Kansai Paint.

Mcgrath Completes Construction On $1.25 Million Montgomery Bank Branch Renovation With AT&T Retail Store

Published on

McGrath & Associates has completed a $1.25 million renovation of Montgomery Bank in Bridgeton, Missouri, including a complete redesign of the branch and the addition of an AT&T retail store. The design-build project highlights a new trend in the banking industry to reduce branch size while incorporating a retail tenant into the original building footprint. Verve Design Studio was the architect.

“With the popularity of online banking, fewer customers are visiting brick-and-mortar branches, yet banks need a physical location to provide personal, local service and advice,” said Kenneth Witbrodt Jr., CEO of Montgomery Bank. “This is a win-win design solution that helps both the bank and our tenant attract each other’s customers.”

McGrath’s renovation of the 5,100-square-foot facility included exterior finishes and ACM panels, modern interior finishes, drive-thru lanes and canopy, new HVAC air handlers and utility services. McGrath completed the project on time and within budget in a short, six-month schedule, from design to construction completion.
