Brandi Fenton Memorial Park
Lloyd Construction partnered with Pima County Natural Resources, Parks & Recreation and the private Brandi Michelle Fenton Foundation, Inc. in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship on this unique park project. The Foundation was formed by the Fenton family to raise funds for this unique project, which memorializes the Fentons’ daughter Brandi, who died in 2003.
Brandi Fenton Memorial Park is a new 56.7 acre District Park developed as part of the Pima County parks system. It was built within the Binghampton Rural Historic Landscape District which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Three historic homes were renovated for use by the new park. Two of these homes were adobe, with the oldest being over 100 years old. Other historic renovations included an Air Force barracks built during World War II as well as a hay barn and horse stable.
Work on the historic homes including adobe infill and repair, new adobe wall construction, historic lime plaster work to match existing, replacing windows with historic double-hung all wood windows, interior wood paneling, exposed beam ceilings, electrical upgrades, resurfacing of wood floors, new glazing in steel casement windows, cedar shingle roofs, and asbestos abatement. Lloyd worked closely with the Pima County Cultural Resources and Historic Preservation Office. The plans were reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office. Work complied with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Treatment of Historic Buildings.
Construction activities included the installation of utilities, construction of roads, parking areas, trails, an equestrian center, a classroom building and a greenhouse, extensive landscaping, and renovation of several historic buildings.
As the selected Construction Manager at Risk for this unique project, Lloyd Construction was also responsible for coordinating extensive donations of materials and services made by a variety of companies. Some of the donors were subcontractors and vendors who have relationships with the Fenton family. Others were donors solicited by Lloyd Construction during the bidding process.
The construction site was bisected by the realignment of River Road. Park construction was completed during the road construction project, making coordination between the two projects critical.
City of Tucson Evidence Storage Facility
Lloyd Construction partnered with the City of Tucson and the architect in a Construction Manager at Risk relationship to build a large evidence storage facility for the City of Tucson Police Department.

The Historic Depot
Lloyd Construction completed a major historic renovation of the train depot in Downtown Tucson and brought it back to life as the new Historic Depot.
The depot was originally built in 1907, replacing the first train depot, built when the railroad first came to Tucson in the 1880s. The Southern Pacific Railroad expanded and renovated the depot in 1941 and it served well into the later years of the century.
The City of Tucson acquired the depot in 1998 with the intent of using this historically significant structure as the cornerstone of the revitalization of the eastern portion of downtown Tucson. This major renovation restored the depot to its 1941 Spanish Colonial Revival appearance. Most of the 1941-era floor plan and interior spaces were restored or recreated.
