Challenges
- Minimize tree loss, while maintaining the client's goals and objectives for the facility.
- Working with the village approval process to obtain a timely review and start of the project.
- With a late in the year start (September) the sitework was fast-tracked, because the parking lot needed to be completed to act as a staging area for the building construction.
- Building was constructed from the inside with tight construction tolerances. All structural steel is exposed to interiors in which Greengard, Inc. provided all layout including plumbing the columns.
- Greengard, Inc. worked on this project from beginning to end along with one of our strategic alliances, the "Green Team" consisting of Urban Forest Management, The Care of Trees, and ILT Vignocchi.
