The Woodland Retirement Community in Farmville, VA held a ‘Ground Breaking Ceremony’ for the new therapy facility and 30 bed addition on March 19, 2010. Members of the Board of Trustees, administrative staff, architectural and engineering consultants, and the general contractor participated in the event.
Hurt & Proffitt completed all the surveying, civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, and environmental permitting required for the project. The design consists of a large parking lot of a proposed building addition, which will eliminate an existing 76-space parking lot. We are working with the building’s architect to design site improvements associated with the proposed addition.
The project has two phases. The first phase consists of the advanced site package and includes construction of a new 153-space parking lot, service drive, utility relocation, management of stormwater quantity and quality, relocation of an existing nursing school building, and other related work.
The second phase consists of site work associated with the building addition, an additional 37-space parking lot, utility connections, relocation of a back-up generator and electrical transformer, and management of stormwater quality and quantity. Despite the harsh winter in Farmville, the project is close to being on schedule for completion by the end of 2010.
