Building Renewal
Case Study
The Situation
Munger Construction recently partnered with The Lee Company, a long-term customer, to complete a major retrofit of an outdated building in Westbrook, CT. The project was designed to accommodate the relocation of one of the company’s divisions. The Lee Company once again turned to Munger Construction as their trusted construction partner for this comprehensive building transformation.
Problem
The Challenges
1
Due to the condition and purpose of the building, a complete interior demolition was necessary before the fit-out could begin.
2
Two large mezzanines were added to house the extensive mechanical equipment required for the manufacturing process.
Solution
The Resolutions
1
The Munger team efficiently managed this extensive demolition, followed by the construction of new partitions for a large office area at the front of the building, and the installation of new carpeting throughout.
2
A Uni-Strut grid system was installed to support the mechanical piping, ensuring operational efficiency.
3
The manufacturing area was enhanced with epoxy flooring, while a new loading dock area was created to streamline deliveries and shipments.
4
To increase the building’s performance and longevity, Munger Construction replaced the deteriorating roof with a Varco Pruden Standing Seam Roof. Large sections of the aging siding were also replaced and repainted to restore the building’s exterior appearance. In keeping with the architecture of the surrounding Lee Company buildings, a new entry vestibule was included in the design.
