Barton Malow has consistently had the opportunity and privilege to provide construction services to a long list of repeat clients. Our ongoing work with Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) is a key example of how the Barton Malow team goes above and beyond the call of duty. Our first project began in 2010 and it has been the relationship with our team that has kept us on their campus in Batavia, Illinois for multiple projects, ever since.

A division of the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermilab is located in Batavia, Illinois, on a expansive 6,800-acre site. The work of Fermilab is home to premier particle physics research – hosting thousands of scientists from more than 34 countries worldwide. Discoveries at Fermilab include enabling the development of MRI machines to building the first proton accelerator for cancer treatment. Fermilab’s 6,800 acres are home to tallgrass prairies and wildlife – including birds, butterflies, and the herds of Bison that have been living and thriving there since the late 1960’s. The site speaks to the focus on conservation and environmental protection that Fermilab maintains as an extension of their mission.

NEW MUON LABORATORY EXPANSIONIn 2010, Barton Malow was selected to expand the Muon laboratory facility, funding was provided in part by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The expansion was largely focused on the majority of the work being completed underground. A 100-foot tunnel section connecting to an electrical building for future experiments and ending in an absorber with a removable roof for lowering equipment into the enclosure was a major part of the project’s construction.

Adding to complexities – a portion of the existing laboratory wall was required to be cut out while maintaining existing lab operations; precast concrete panels weighing 27,300 pounds were removed and reused; a loading dock was removed and a new one built in an existing building location; 256 tons of rebar were installed in the structural slabs and walls with some slabs as think as nine feet. Noise, dust, and vibration control were all critically important elements of the Barton Malow team’s approach to minimize disruptions to operations.

In August of 2010, Barton Malow was recognized by Fermilab for Safety Excellence on this project for over 10,000 work hours completed without a safety incident.

CRYOMODULE TEST FACILITYAs a result of innovative ideas in project delivery coordination and safety, the Barton Malow team was asked to construct the Cryomodule Test Facility project, while we were still completing work at the Muon laboratory. Adjacent to the Muon lab, the Cryomodule Test Facility, totaling 33,000 square feet, is comprised of a testing area and compressor area, with a connecting link between the two buildings. Construction also included the installation of a 20-ton overhead bridge crane.

ILLINOIS ACCELERATOR RESEARCH CENTER (IARC)Wrapping up construction at Fermilab is the IARC facility – a new, 47,000 square foot, 3-story office, technical, and educational facility, that will be used by Fermilab and private industry. Unique features of this project include the construction of a relocated bike path; a green roof and extensive geothermal systems, which are a part of plans to seek LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council – the first project at Fermilab to seek LEED certification; and it is the largest facility completed on campus since the 1970s.

ABOVE AND BEYONDBarton Malow was awarded the IARC project as a general contractor – a contract structure that by its basic definition, does not call for extensive preconstruction services. Despite the contract structure, our team recognized that the unique qualities of the IARC project would benefit from the implementation and use of 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) to identify potential mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination and clash issues before construction began. Also, through collaboration and our expertise, we were able to propose creative solutions that significantly reduced project costs.

SELF PERFORM AT LAKE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

by Bruce Bare, LEED AP

Over the years, Barton Malow has made a consistent commitment to self-performing work. At Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana, we hold a $20 million prime general trades package. The major addition and expansion project, encompassing an 850,000 SF high school, is the largest ongoing school construction project in Northwest Indiana and Barton Malow’s largest self-perform project to date in the Chicago area.

Barton Malow’s contract, spanning three years, includes all interior build-out consisting of dry wall, door frames and hardware, ceilings, floor finishes, painting, interior casework/millwork, lockers and specialties. The project includes two phases. Phase one, completed in 2013, included a new pool and support space and a 3-story 200,000 SF classroom wing. Phase two, slated for completion in December 2015, includes a new gym, auditorium, fine arts band area, media center and school district administration area.

A unique aspect of the project is the multi-prime contractor setting. All prime contractors, including Barton Malow, hold contracts directly with the school

district. This requires extensive coordination and open communication among the various prime contractors and with the Construction Manager, joint venture of Turner Construction Company and Powers and Sons, as well as close monitoring of the project schedule.

Working near a large, occupied high school was a significant project challenge. Students were located in the north half of the school during construction of the new classroom wing. They have since transitioned to the newly constructed wing and the north half was demolished in preparation for the second phase of the project.

Planning and communication with the Owner, Turner/Powers and other contractors is essential to minimize interruption to the surrounding occupied areas. The team is constantly sensitive to safety coordination as well as the surrounding learning environment and cognizant of construction noise levels. Construction activities are coordinated with noise levels in mind, with activities creating heavy noise completed early in the morning prior to classes beginning. Work that required tie-ins and shut downs of existing systems was completed during winter and spring breaks.

RENOVATION OF A NATIONAL LANDMARK

by Tim Webster, PE, LEED AP

Barton Malow is providing preconstruction and construction management services for the renovation of the Natural History Building at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). The project calls for extensive and very challenging modifications to the existing facility, which was originally constructed for the UIUC in 1892. In 1986, the Natural History Building was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building currently serves the School of Earth Science and Environment (SESE), the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology (MCB) and the School of Integrative Biology (SIB).

The “patchwork” of building additions and renovations spanning over 100 years (1908, 1910 and 1920) in itself creates substantial challenges for the scope of work. Barton Malow will renovate and reconfigure spaces within the building considering occupant circulation and student, staff and faculty needs that will

help the UIUC realize the most efficient use of the building. Significant elements of the project include preservation of the existing façade, preservation of the 1920 museum space, which is located above a major lecture hall and new mechanical systems. Nearby buildings will be used for swing space and temporary relocation of departmental personnel during construction.

EARLY SOLUTIONSGiven only a conceptual project report, the Barton Malow project team reviewed the original scope of work. Through this evaluation, particularly focused on structural concerns, the team was able to identify several creative alternate approaches that would enable the University to maintain as much historical integrity of the building as possible, while still achieving significant savings to the project. This solution driven approach and commitment was a key reason that Barton Malow was ultimately selected by the University.

COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITYBarton Malow is committed in achieving participation by minority and women-owned businesses throughout construction. Project outreach meetings, have been conducted in order to share key information about the project with the local and regional contracting community, has helped to successfully identify diverseteam members.

TACKLING SUSTAINABILITY It’s generally not an easy feat to achieve LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council and renovating a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places adds to those challenges. Barton Malow is working with the team to identify solutions and project elements that will allow the completed facility to be eligible for LEED Gold certification.

COMMUNITY SERVICE by Kyle DeHenau, LEED AP

C H I C A G O M A R V E L S A U N T M A R T H A ’ S Y O U T H S E R V I C E C E N T E R

The Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Centers, located in Joliet and Chicago Heights, were built to support the Aunt Martha’s mission to be a resource for the community by offering social services and accessible healthcare for underserved and uninsured individuals and their families. These new facilities were funded by an $11.8 million grant from the Facility Investment Program (FIP), a division of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Aunt Martha’s received the largest monetary award designated to a community health center in Illinois and the third largest nationally.

JOLIET COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERWith funding in place, and the land donated from Silver Cross Hospital, Aunt Martha’s envisioned creating a clinic that serves as more than just a treatment center for patients; rather, they desired a place that would serve as the heart of the neighborhood. The 19,000 SF, two-story Center features 21 medical exam rooms, six dental suites, behavioral health and group therapy rooms as well as support spaces. The Center also features an outdoor deck area for group functions and a multipurpose conference room that can be utilized by the community.

The Joliet Community Health Center is a colorful, state-of-the-art facility with spaces for primary care, dental and behavioral health. Pre-cast concrete, composite metal panels and a glass curtainwall combine to create

a center that reflects the architectural character of the local community. The site exterior exemplifies a true community center with a community garden, benches for congregating, and a walking path.

PEDIATRIC HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTERThe Pediatric Health & Wellness Center in Chicago Heights is designed to reflect the Joliet Community Health Center and serves as a pediatric medical and behavioral health services clinic for local families in need. The 11,000 SF facility features nine medical exam rooms, five behavioral health offices, a wellness center with a fitness room, a pediatric play area, conference rooms and case management offices, and support spaces. Conference rooms and meeting spaces are available for use by community organizations.

The Joliet Community Health Center and Chicago Heights Pediatric Health & Wellness Center were awarded LEED Silver Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). Together the new centers created 55 new jobs in their local communities, and enable Aunt Martha’s to serve 30% more patients and offer 80,000 more appointments a year for low income and uninsured families. Patients are no longer subjected to inferior healthcare options, or faced with no options at all due to a lack of health insurance. Aunt Martha’s and Barton Malow have given residents of these low-income areas hope and a place to heal.

EXPRESS DELIVERY by Bruce Bare, LEED AP

FedEx Ground delivers more than 4.5 million packages a day with growing demand. In response, FedEx Ground is expanding existing, undersized operational hubs and building new hubs in locations that help increase efficiency and the company’s national coverage. Barton Malow was awarded two hub expansions in Chicago, Illinois and Allentown, Pennsylvania while continuing to build our relationship with FedEx on additional opportunities.

DELIVERING A SUCCESSFUL PROJECTBarton Malow was selected for preconstruction and construction management services for the Chicago Hub Expansion project. The Chicago hub is the main distribution center in the Midwest and is a critical component to FedEx Ground’s nationwide package distribution. As a result, day-to-day operations cannot be interrupted, to minimize the impact on operations, the project will be completed in four phases.

Phase 1 includes the demolition of two maintenance garages and the construction of a new vehicle maintenance garage. The new garage will be 45% larger than the existing garage, featuring 16 bays, office and storage space. The expanded space and new location will improve site logistics for deliveries and maintenance efficiency. Phases 2-4 include a 73,341 SF Load Wing, office renovations and demolition of existing facilities as well as associated site work.

SETTING A PRECEDENCE IN CHICAGOBarton Malow was contracted by FedEx Ground to self-perform concrete and general trades, this is the first self-perform job in Illinois for Barton Malow.

GOING WHERE OUR CLIENTS TAKE USIn addition to the Chicago Hub Expansion project, Barton Malow was awarded the Allentown Hub Construction project in Allentown, Pennsylvania. This new, 817,958 SF distribution facility is the largest facility FedEx Ground has built. The program includes a 4-bay vehicle maintenance garage; gateway, trailer wash and salt storage buildings; two gatehouses and fuel island.

Building communities is a fundamental part of Barton Malow’s core purpose. Celebrating 60 years of giving through the Barton Malow Foundation, we support countless organizations that improve the lives of the local communities where we live, work and play.

In Chicago, we launched a team community initiative, aside from the initiative every member of the team is involved with organizations that support a cause close to their hearts. Here aretheir stories...

REPAIRING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN NEEDMike Bobruk LEED AP, Project Director, strongly values the importance of embracing life lessons everyday. When not grooming future leaders of the Chicago office, Mike and his wife, Kathleen, volunteer at his parish - also his daughter’s school, St. Patrick Parish in Chesterton, Indiana. The Parish is a community staple, focused on providing education, guidance and assistance to thosein need.

Here, Mike uses his construction and project management skills of schedule and time management as a driving force in the helping hand he lends to the Parish. Mike’s repair skills typically used around the house helps those around him as he participates in the “Handy Man Help Program.” The program helps senior citizens throughout the community by making minor repairs to their homes. Tasks range from replacing old doors to helping the homeowner with a fresh coat of paint. When asked what keeps him motivated to stay involved, he stated, “Seeing the level of satisfaction on the faces of those he’s helped.”

TEACHING TEAMWORK ON AND OFF THE FIELDThroughout his career in construction, Bruce Bare, Senior Project Manager, has learned many life lessons including the importance of teamwork and being a mentor. Although working with his team is what Bruce enjoys most about his position, he always aims to find new ways to demonstrate work ethic and commitment to his family while creating valuable learning experiences for his children. Originally introduced to the sport of little league baseball as a way to spend more time with his three sons, Bruce has become more than just a parent that cheers from the bleachers. He has volunteered continuously over the past eight years as a coach in his community with organizations that support youth development, including the Elmhurst Youth Baseball Little League andthe YMCA.

As a result, Bruce has built one of the top performing teams in his division. With the support from the team’s parents, Bruce realigned the team’s focus from not only winning the game but to honing the individual development of each child.

“Volunteering has increased my level of patience and has helped me maintain a perspective of continuous encouragement. I watch the game with less focus on the results and more on how much each child is improving their skills.”
