Challenge
This project's intended use demanded that the building be aesthetically pleasing, as well as functional with the 55+ year-old end-user in mind. To achieve the right look, a vaulted ceiling was chosen as a design element. This created a space problem for mechanical system placement. However, we coordinated with all trade vendors to creatively reposition mechanicals under the slab and in the high ceiling. We chose floor finishes specifically to minimize trip hazards while maintaining durability. Additionally, lighting was needed that could accommodate various activities while considering older adult vision issues.
Solution
Viox served as the Construction Manager on this 17,300-square-foot community center for older adults. The unique community-based wellness center serves as a public meeting place for older adults to socialize, exercise and learn.
Result
"Working with Viox Services on the Sycamore Senior Center was a pleasure. Their professional work shows in the quality workmanship of the project, while keeping the needs of the older adults in the forefront of this project. The members are using and enjoying our new facility immensely. We appreciate Viox and the contractors who completed this project in a timely manner."
