Peabody, MA – The Aviv Centers for Living expansion project remains very active and is on schedule for an August 2012 completion date. Koningisor, Luciano & Associates of Framingham is managing the 124,000sf expansion project at 240 Lynnfield Street. KDA Architects of Voorhees, N.J. is the project architect and Pro Con Inc of Manchester, N.H. is the construction manager.
The new $35M building will be called the Waldfogel Health Center and will enable Aviv Centers for Living to support a broad continuum of care and offer centralized healthcare and administration in one location.
“The sheet rocking is complete throughout the building and the punch list items have begun on floors two through four,” stated Pro Con Inc’s project manager. “The landscaping is being installed, the sidewalks are nearly complete and we are preparing the parking lot for the final finish coat. August 2012 is still the scheduled completion date.”
The energy efficient building expansion has been designed and is being built to attain LEED silver. As part of the initial site work, rock ledge at the site was crushed and re-used as structural fill. The building’s sustainable design features will include a white roof and the installation of high efficiency mechanical systems and low-flow plumbing fixtures. The building will feature energy efficient, low-e glass windows and doors and low volatile organic compounds (VOC) products will be used for the interior finishes. The building’s main entrance will feature a port Coche and the site will offer 308 parking spaces. Indigenous plantings that do not need irrigation and require minimal maintenance will be used for the landscaping.
The four-story, health center will have 144 skilled nursing beds. The center will offer skilled nursing for short-term rehabilitation and long term care, assisted living, adult day care, home care and geriatric care management. Highlights of the expansion project include an onsite childcare center, a kosher bistro, a center for lifelong learning and specialty programs in sub-acute care. The center intends to make a significant contribution to the future of healthcare for seniors by providing quality medical services and cultural programming.
