Project Description

The Eisenhower Ridge Building 19 project is a historic renovation of a 60,700 SF old Veteran’s Administration (VA) mess hall. Originally constructed in 1884, it now houses the Central Plain Consolidated Patient Account Center (CP-CPAC) for the Veteran’s Administration. The historic renovation included three main levels as well as an East and West “penthouse”.

The intent of the executed design was to add modern functionality while refurbishing original, historic elements. The tenant’s needs included adding state-of-the-art IT and telecommunication systems as well as meeting rooms, training rooms and cubicle space. The scope of work included a multitude of demolition and replacement of utilities; installing a raised flooring system, restoring historical trim and windows; installation of new insulation and fire protection systems; removal of two-story green wall system and addition of new glass storefront to name a few. There were many obstacles with this 125-year old site; vacancy since 1995 and the safety concerns throughout; restoration of historic elements while updating and adding to the structure; parameters of the existing structure and how to bring in materials to do the work.

This once endangered site now serves a purpose again and can be viewed for generations to come. Straub is proud and honored to have provided quality services for this project.
