Longwood
at Oakmont is one of Western Pennsylvania's largest full-service
continuing care retirement communities. After completing an award-winning
Alzheimer care unit several years ago, Mistick Construction recently
returned to the campus to build phase three: a new 75-unit independent
living building, a 30-unit assisted living building, and a renovated
health care center. The $17 million project included extensive
site development and major improvements to fully functioning common
areas and dining facilities.
Mistick gave
top priority to communications and strict safety policies in order
to minimize the impact of the 20-month construction on current
residents. Mistick's project management staff and safety director
worked hand-in-hand with site administrators and the project architect
to protect residents and keep them informed during each phase
of construction.
The project
successfully increased the variety of available units and seamlessly
integrated new construction and interior renovations into the
community.
The new
three-story independent living building features a 100-car garage
built under landscaped terraces as well as a library, chapel,
meeting space and computer room among other amenities.
Improvements
to common areas included a renovated grille room, which Mistick
completed in only 30 days, and an updated kitchen, which the company
kept in full operation serving residents during construction.
