Plante Moran Living Forward ensured the new and redesigned rooms successfully met organizational standards, ADA regulations, and local building codes.
The challenge
St. Leonard’s Senior Living Community engaged Plante Moran Living Forward™ (PMLF) as owner’s representative during the design and construction of three facilities on their campus. The new development included the following:
- A 22,000-square-foot wellness center, featuring a hospitality center, pool, and restaurant
- A 74,000-square-foot memory support building
- A large new storage facility
- Extensive redesign and renovation of an existing facility, the Franciscan Care Center, to become the center hub of the campus
The solution
Throughout the multi-year process, PMLF kept all new design, development, and construction within a $22 million budget.
Our role grew throughout the process. PMLF helped St. Leonard manage the redesign and construction of a new campus road system as well as upgrades to the community’s existing 250 cottages and garden homes, 73 independent apartments, and 100 independent apartments. We also assisted with renovating a memory care unit to include a new chapel, administrative space, and therapy addition.
