ESP Facility
The project consisted of complete interior abatement, renovation, and fit out of approximately 27,500 GSF (19,200 SF the 1st floor and 7,500 SF on the lower level) within the existing building. The building contains adult daycare program spaces for patients with dementia, located on the 1st floor of the building, and support spaces on the lower, partially below grade, level. The existing main entry and drop off were not suitable for ESP due to accessibility and elevation grade changes, so Dellbrook | JKS had to construct a new building entry and covered drop off area for van and emergency access.
Two separate enclosed secure outdoor garden area spaces with walking paths and benches were also added for the use of the patients with dementia and guests. Our team replaced the existing mechanical systems and upgraded the facility with all new interior finishes, new window openings, selective exterior facade changes, egress components and site accessibility, limited site improvements and signage. The new ESP Facility is 2-stories, constructed of unreinforced CMU Block with a main 1st floor and a partially below grade lower level, with a mezzanine penthouse for HVAC equipment, and features full height windows in the rotunda and sanctuary. Classroom and office windows are all original. The original building included a large worship and social area, high ceilings as well as office, classroom, and storage space.
