A. Martini & Co was selected to be the Construction Manager/General Contractor partner with ArTech for the Independence Health System’s new, ground-up Medical Office building located in Connellsville, PA. This 17,000+ square foot space was built on a prepared site, however due to the history of mining in the area drilling was necessary to form piling for foundations. Our role in the site work included the installation of new storm management system and site utilities. The project scope included a large parking lot, extensive landscaping, and site lighting. The new medical office building was designed to have 4 quadrants:
- Primary Care,
- Quick Draw – including mammography, Xray machine, ultrasound
- Specialist offices and exam rooms
- Orthopedic Center including a Xray machine
The building includes 23 exam rooms, numerous toilet rooms for staff and patients as well as lobby restrooms. The lobby features a 2-story, windowed entrance and with a large, cantilevered entrance canopy that required foundations of 25feet long, 30inches thick and 8feet wide. A. Martini & Co completed the construction work 2 ½ months ahead of schedule, however due to supply chain issues the pre-purchased switch gear and the roof top air handling units arrived significant later than previously committed … but in the end A. Martini & Co met the expected completion date.
