Academy Village

Lloyd Construction partnered with the architect and a developer in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship on the design and construction of The Academy Village at the Arizona Senior Academy in Vail, south of Tucson.   The Arizona Senior Academy is a unique community that offers living and working opportunities for retired academicians and professionals.

Phase I, a 20,500 square foot complex, includes an 11,000 SF community building which houses dining rooms, activity centers, and a gathering room; the 7,000 SF Academy building housing a library, seminar rooms, and administration; and ancillary facilities including an outdoor heated pool and a regulation tennis court.

Full site development was completed on the 258-acre site which was developed for 250 future homes and three commercial buildings.  The campus was master planned for additional facilities to be built in the future, including a teleconferencing facility, an auditorium, a central plant, and a wellness center.  To expedite the project, Lloyd Construction completed the earthwork and site development work while the design and permitting of the buildings were being completed.

First Magnus Financial Corporation

Lloyd Construction partnered with a designer/developer and two owners in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to build a new office complex on a fast-track schedule.

A 64,000 square foot building was built for First Magnus Financial Corporation and served as their new national headquarters. 

The project included two clean rooms for the corporation’s computers and over 6 miles of data cabling; a high tech security system including retina scanners and proximity readers.  All doors have recordable access controls.  Several of the rooms have electronically controlled black-out glass.

Other features include a 30-foot interior water fall with three 50” plasma screens incorporated into the waterfall; complete sound, light, and video including plasma screens hidden in custom millwork which are remote controlled to appear only when needed.

The building is part of the Wilmot Corporate Center, which also includes a 41,500 SF building for Radiology Limited. Complete site development was part of the scope, including both covered and air-conditioned enclosed parking. 

Golden Eagle Distributors

Lloyd Construction partnered with the owner and an architect in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to design and build the new Golden Eagle Distributors offices and distribution plant in Buckeye in Central Arizona.  This plant serves as a major transfer hub and is critical to the Golden Eagle distribution network. 

Initial construction budgets were completed over 16 months before the project began based on discussions with and square footage requirements of the Owner.  During the Design Development phase, updated budgets were completed and a Guaranteed Maximum Price was established, which was 2% under the original conceptual estimates.

During the Construction Documents phase, Lloyd began surveys and earthwork, and final value engineering concepts were implemented prior to obtaining construction permits.  Once permits were approved, the entire team including all subcontractors were able to move immediately forward with construction with a thorough understanding of the project gained during our intimate participation during the design phase. 

Lloyd Construction previously completed major renovations to Golden Eagle’s Tucson distribution facility.

Ina Corporate Center

Lloyd Construction partnered with a developer and an architect in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to build Ina Corporate Center in northwest Tucson.  The park is a 16-building office condominium complex totaling over 90,000 SF.  Each of the buildings was completed over a two year period as they were sold or leased.

The building itself is a play on scale using varying wall heights and stucco joints to create an illusion of depth and perspective as one approaches the building. A massive oversized door is the final part of the visitor’s transition from human scale to miniature scale as they enter the museum. Inside the museum, the collection is divided into three main sections: antique pieces, contemporary pieces, and fantasy pieces. Each section is themed to reflect the pieces within including a tree, oversized murals, and historical residential woodwork.

Our pre-construction services included providing construction estimates and assistance in selection of building materials and methods that would allow the owner to build the facilities they needed within the prescribed budget.  Once this was complete, construction of Phase I which included eight classrooms and a media center/bible study building was completed on a fast-track schedule.

Earthwork, utilities and foundations were completed while further design was being completed and permits obtained.  Design was ultimately completed at the same time that foundations were finished, and construction continued to completion.
