Portfolio - Historic Renovations
Arizona State Museum
Lloyd Construction worked as a Construction Manager at Risk to renovate this historic building to accommodate the new Southwest Ceramic Preservation Project laboratory.
Previously, Lloyd completed another extensive renovation of this historic museum building on The University of Arizona campus. That work included life safety upgrades and a new central plant.
Brandi Fenton Memorial Park
Lloyd Construction worked with Pima County in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to complete a new 57 acre park located in a the Binghampton Rural Historic Landscape district, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Work will include renovation of several historic homes on the property. The project was developed by a public-private partnership between Pima County and the Brandi Michelle Fenton Foundation, Inc. Extensive coordination was provided between donors to the foundation and the overall project. Lloyd coordinated with a road contractor who worked on the realignment of River Road, which bisects the park property. Both projects were built simultaneously.
BWS Architects
Lloyd Construction worked with BWS Architects to renovate a historic building for their offices. The building was an adobe structure which required substantial repair, plus new woodwork, doors and windows, adobe plastering, and a new roof.
Carrillo Intermediate School
Lloyd Construction completed extensive renovations and a major addition to this historic elementary school. Work included raising the entire two-story building off its foundation in order to build caissons underneath the structure. The entire interior was "gutted" and rebuilt. Completely new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems were installed, as well as new windows, doors, and finishes throughout the entire structure.
The Historic Depot
Lloyd Construction completed a major renovation of this historic train depot in Downtown Tucson which was brought back to life as The Historic Depot. The 1907 depot was acquired by the City to serve as the cornerstone of the revitalization of the eastern portion of downtown. The depot was returned to its Spanish Colonial Revival character acquired in a 1941 remodeling. Most of the 1941-era floor plan and interior spaces were restored or recreated.
Residence Life Renewal
Working as a Construction Manager at Risk with The University of Arizona, Lloyd Construction will renovate nine UA dormitories during each of the summer breaks from 2004 to 2008. Each summer we will complete approximately $7 million in interior infrastructure upgrades to the dormitories, five of which are historic. Phase 1, comprising $7 million of work in three dormitories, was completed during the 2004 summer break in just 70 days, in time for the arrival of students for the fall semester.
Tucson High Magnet School
Lloyd Construction worked with Tucson Unified School District on a major renovation of the historic Vocational Building at Tucson High Magnet School. Built in 1948 in the Streamline Moderne Style, the building is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Work included replacement of mechanical systems with air conditioning, new elevator, interior architectural upgrades, and asbestos abatement.
Tucson Origins Heritage Park
Lloyd Construction is working as a Construction Manager at Risk with the City of Tucson and an architectural team to restore the birthplace of Tucson at the foot of Sentinal Peak in central Tucson. The result will be the $52 million Tucson Origins Heritage Park.
A team of archaeologists has found evidence that native people occupied this site 4,000 years ago, creating a settled agricultural economy based on the Santa Cruz River and a system of irrigation ditches. Excavations reveal a series of cultures on the site, layered with sediment from periodic flooding and ash from catastrophic fires. The Spanish arrived in the 1700s to pacify and convert the native population, constructing a mission in their village, and building a chapel, convento and garden. The area continued to be farmed after the mission system fell into disrepair, but during the 1900s it was mined for clay, used as a landfill and utility corridor, and then neglected.
After years of planning and community acceptance of the Rio Nuevo Redevelopment Plan, Lloyd Construction was selected through a competitive qualifications-based selection process to serve as the Construction Manager at Risk. Work includes rebuilding the historic Mission San Agustin with Chapel and Convento, the Carrillo House, and the Mission Gardens.
Based on as-built drawings and photography, the Carrillo House and Convento qualify as reconstructions under the Secretary of the Interior’s standards; the chapel is much more speculative, and is considered an interpretive recreation. The interpretation of the park will inform the visitor of what we know and how we know it, so not to mislead visitors on the authenticity of the park. Designed in collaboration with archaeological and historical advisers, the Mission Garden incorporates reconstructions of small Territorial-period adobe structures, an Operations Building for use by Arizona State Museum and the Parks and Recreation Department, and flood-irrigated basins with heritage fruit trees.
The project is pursuing LEED® Silver Certification from the US Green Building Council.
