12 Message from the chairman Gary Bichler As a member of the board of governors since 2010, it has been my privilege to oversee a period of growth and change at the Construction Exchange. The organization has accomplished many things in this time. However, as I close out my tour as chairman, it is not these accomplishments that I am focused on it is ensuring that the organization is positioned to continue growing into the future. You can only go two ways in any business up or down and the Western New York construction industry needs the Construction Exchange going up. A growing membership is the foundation that all else is built on. It is simple. The more members you have, the more you can invest in programs and services. From 2010 to 2017, membership increased by more than 200 companies to 850. This is good, but we can do better. The board has set a goal of 1,200 members by Pushing for 1,200 keeps us striving to improve the value you get for your membership. We will reach 1,200 by focusing on programs that are important to your businesses. The board and staff will work together to continually evaluate and improve existing programs while seeking out new opportunities. Some ways that we will advance in 2018 include: Operating our planroom to remain the best source for accurate and timely project information, while building strong relationships within the architectural and building owner community to provide more private projects to our members. Growing our Safety Services division to help more companies large and small provide a safe work environment for their employees, save money on insurance and comply with regulations. Adding more courses in Construction Exchange University that help companies grow and provide opportunities for them to develop their staff. Effectively advocating on behalf of the Western New York construction community as we attempt to overcome existing challenges and face new obstacles. Being strong with these benefits also opens the door for more collaboration. As I write this, we are finalizing a deal for the Construction Exchange to administer the operations of the second largest construction association in Western New York, the Buffalo Niagara Builders Association. Closer ties between these two organizations will bring good things for the members of both. As I move to my new role on the Construction Exchange advisory board, I would like to thank every one of the members of the Construction Exchange for the pleasure of serving you over the last seven years, my fellow board members for their leadership and guidance and the staff for their work and dedication.

16 Let the sunshine in New exhibits for Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens By Melanie Franner Construction of the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens began in It would be three years later that the doors would open to the public. Since then, the botanical gardens have undergone many variations additions, renovations and even a change in ownership to its current status in A year later, the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the New York State Register of Historic Places. Today, the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens is located on 11 acres of the historic Frederick Law Olmsted historic 156-acre South Park. The conservatory consists of 12 conjoined greenhouses and attracts more than 100,000 people annually. With a history that dates back to 1897, it s no surprise that renovations can prove costly. The historical designation only adds to the equation. So it was of no surprise to learn that when Houses No. 2 and 3 reached the point where major renovations were required, management reached out to the construction community with some trepidation. These two buildings hadn t been renovated in over 50 years, explains David Swarts, President and CEO of the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. The metal structure was in pretty good shape but the single-pane glass in the two houses was proving dangerous. By this time, we had already made the decision to close the buildings when winds were in excess of 40 miles per hour for fear of the glass shattering. With this in mind, the Erie County, owner of the botanical gardens, allocated $3.8 million to cover the costs of the repairs to the two building structures (which required partial demolition, abatement and recon- 14 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

Work began in May 2015 and continued through to December Accent on history Renovations on the two buildings took a year and a half, during which time both buildings were completely closed to the public. In addition to the decline in attendance and loss in revenue that occurred as a result of this closure, there was the issue of the historical designation and the impact of that designation on the renovation itself. Due to the historical designation of the buildings, the New York State Historic Preservation Office had to be fully engaged in the project, explains Swarts. Because we weren t changing the structures themselves, the biggest issue for them was the type of replacement materials used. Foit-Albert Associates, Architecture, Engineering and Surveying, P.C. was appointed to oversee the project. The firm had worked in the past with the Erie County Department of Public Works and had done some previous work with the Buffalo and Erie Country Botanical Gardens as both a subcontractor and prime contractor on past projects. Renovations for House No. 2 were fairly straightforward as far as replacement materials were concerned because it didn t have the wood cladding that House No. 3 did, explains Bryce Bixby, Senior Project Manager at Foit-Albert Associates. But, 16 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

19 during the glass replacement, we discovered that the structure itself had begun to sag. As a result, we weren t able to continue with the replacement of the glass cladding. Fortunately, the contractor thought he could get the structure back to where it was supposed to be. He ended up detaching some of the more fragile components before jacking up the structure. Once that had been completed, we were able to put on the new glass. More complex, however, proved to be the cladding replacement required for House No. 3. House No. 3 used old-growth cypress so replacing it became sort of tricky, explains Bixby. It s not that old-growth cypress is easy to find. Nor is it environmentally responsible in that you don t want to deplete old-growth forests. We didn t have a clear direction of how to navigate this issue. We weren t replacing all of the cladding, just what was absolutely necessary so the new wood needed to have the same characteristics as the old. We couldn t have the new wood expand and strain the old wood in the process. After much consternation and evaluation, Foit-Albert decided upon new-growth Spanish cedar. In the end, we opted to use the newgrowth Spanish cedar with a resin finish to better protect the wood, says Bixby. The renovations on House No. 3 also came to a bit of a head with the choice of paint Building Western New York 17

It took us a bit of looking around but we eventually went with an epoxy system that had shown good results on a previous project. Strong appeal The structural renovations completed on Houses No. 2 and 3 enabled the not-forprofit Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens to redo the two exhibits housed there to the tune of $400,000. When the two buildings reopened in January 2017, they did so with two exciting new exhibits: the Aquatic Garden in House No. 2 and the Asian Rainforest in House No. 3. The former incorporates a peaceful pond and a family of koi fish, along with a beautiful water feature surrounded by a collection of amazing plants native to southeast Asia. The latter centers around a redesigned 47-foot high waterfall that is surrounded by a collection of bamboo and other horticulture treasures found in southeast Asia. It also includes a decorative teahouse, a moon gate, a collection of orchids, bonsai and more. The first weekend we opened, we had 8,200 people come through, states Swarts, adding that everyone was very impressed with the attendance figures. To date, we have experienced a 35-percent increase in attendance this year over last. Needless to say, Swarts and his team of 15 full-time employees, eight part-time employees, 250-plus volunteers and a robust board of directors is very pleased with the results. The work done on the two greenhouses has been excellent, he concludes. Everyone involved on the project has done an outstanding job, with the result being that we now have two great new exhibits that are proving to be a huge success with our visitors.

22 Center dome. Out with the old, in with the old Updating theater to its glory days By Cindy Chan History is repeating itself for Shea s Performing Arts Center. Shea s Performing Arts Center is currently being restored to the height of its peak. The building itself, originally called Shea s Buffalo Theater and located in Buffalo, N.Y., has been around for 91 years, according to Doris Collins, Restoration Consultant for Shea s Performing Arts Center. Collins says Michael Shea, who was originally from Canada, built it as one of the last big movie palaces in the downtown of the city. Two smaller theatres, the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda and the North Park Theatre on Hertel Avenue, remain as part of the 12-theatre movie house entertainment empire of Shea. Shea s Buffalo Theater ran as a movie house from 1926 until 1962 when it was sold to Leon Sidel who did his best to reuse the building as a performing arts center. However, in the 1970s, the City of Buffalo became the owners of the building when Sidel declared bankruptcy, and their intention was to tear it down to put up a parking lot, which Collins says was typical of the era. [People] started to realize how much of our great architecture we had lost not just movie palaces, Collins says. A group of people calling themselves Friends of Shea s decided they would put it on the National Register, making tearing it down not impossible but more difficult. From then on, Friends became the Shea s O Connell Preservation Guild Ltd. Inc., the non-profit entity and managing agency for the building. Collins says the City of Buffalo still owns the building, but the Guild has a lease as well as funding from several philanthropic organizations and state and federal grants. We feel confident. We ve invested millions of dollars, so it won t get torn down, Collins says. The restoration has been in the works for a little more than 22 years. Collins says it sounds like a lot of time, but they have been working around show schedules. And what s unique about the res- 20 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

23 toration is that 85 percent of the labor force has been volunteers. Collins estimates that there have been several hundred volunteers throughout the years of working on the restoration. We had one gentleman retire last year as a volunteer. He was with us for 18 continuous years, she says. Collins says the goal of the restoration is to imitate how the original theater looked at its opening in So far, the restoration is 95 percent complete. It s unfortunately never 100 percent complete. There s always repairs that need to be done, Collins laments. Water is our biggest enemy either from the rain, which we ve had a lot of this year, or water leakage from the steam heating system. In addition to volunteers, Collins says they also called on local contractors for support. Safespan installed scaffolding, Buffalo Plastering and Architectural Casting and Swiatek Studios were the local contractors and EverGreene Architectural Arts restored the ceiling for three summers starting in The ceiling is 65 feet high. Our insurance company would not permit any volunteers to go up that high, even though the scaffolding was secure, Collins says. Jeff Greene, President of EverGreene Architectural Arts, says no one had been up to the ceiling in years, so his team continued to wash, prep, prime, base-paint and polychrome the ceiling before glazing it and adding metallic finishes, as started by Swiatek Studios during the first phase. The idea was to put it back as faithfully as possible to what was originally there, Greene says. In 2016, Specialized Audio-Visual Inc. (SAVI) installed a new audio system for the theater, which improved the overall sound quality in the building. According to Michael Cusick, President of SAVI, the new sound system allowed Shea s to remove some of the old speaker fixtures which had originally covered up the decorative proscenium, replacing it with a sound system that was better integrated into the architecture. There was also a component of the new system that addressed the needs for the historic lobby, Cusick says. Shea s uses their lobby spaces for all types of events such as weddings, receptions, cocktail parties and meetings, so the design we did for the theater overall included a fairly extensive lobby sound system. Cusick says the color-matched column speakers were integrated into the marble-walled lobby, making them as unobtrusive as possible. The system has capabilities for announcements and for listening to the program occurring on stage, Cusick adds. Collins says a lot of restoration was also done on the original decorative walls throughout the lobbies and stairwells. The walls were originally made of damask fabric, but to install the same fabric again would cost half of a million dollars. Instead, Collins traced an original stencil still on two sections of wall behind the Doris Collins with paint board. last rows of seats in the balcony and cut new stencils and applied paint, matched to the color of the fabric to mock up a wall. It mimics the effect. We received permission from New York State Parks Historic Preservation Office to substitute with the stencil, Collins says. That s been a total of 7,000 square feet. Collins says they can certainly make the change to damask fabric 15 or 20 years from now if they have the money. Collins spent around $3,000 on the materials. The carpet throughout the building had also been replaced, and volunteers have restored many original pieces of furniture throughout the lobbies. Original crystal chandeliers have also been repaired, cleaned and rewired, some over 11 feet tall and holding 98 light bulbs. Working at Shea s was very special because it s such a beautiful theater and it really is one of a kind, Alma Brown, Project Manager at Clinton Brown Company Architecture, whose firm provided grant administration and project management for the ceiling and AV upgrade projects, says. It s not your average everyday construction project. Greene echoes Brown s sentiment he believes the theater s environment enhances the experience of whatever entertainment the audience is partaking. When you walk in, you re transported to another place, he says. F 2018 Building Western New York 21

The fact replaced. It is estimated that within the computers or work with your hands, there that this is an issue at next 15 years, half of today s workforce is a career in construction for you. People all is disappointing because it is the result of perceptions that are outdated or flat-out wrong. We need to educate the public about the lucrative, prideful and lifelong careers that are available in construction. Do you know someone who is making a career decision one of the most important choices of their life? What would you tell them? Here s what I would say. will have retired. At the same time, there will be an increase in the demand for construction workers. The New York State Department of Labor estimates that between 2014 and 2024, the need for construction workers in New York will grow 28.4 percent, making construction the fastest growing industry in the state. This combination of retirees leaving the industry and a growing demand for con- typically think of the skilled tradesperson working with tools when they think of construction, but there is so much more. Estimators, project managers, construction managers, foremen the list goes on. Some of these jobs require technical training or experience and some require advanced degrees. Pride Construction workers take great pride in the things they build and Great pay According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average construction Average Yearly WNY Construction Worker Salaries worker in Western New York Construction Manager $83,200 Structural Iron & Steel Workers $57,230 makes $49,490 per year. That is almost Architect/Engineer $71,710 Plumbers, Pipefitters & Steamfitters $56,620 Supervisor of Construction Trades $66,250 Painters, Const. & Maintenance $54, percent more than the average Western New Yorker.

25 their impact on the community. Whether it is a hospital or a gas station, construction workers love to show off what they have accomplished. Active lifestyle Sitting at a desk for too long can be bad for your health. Studies have linked it to cancer and heart disease, to name a few. There are plenty of jobs in the construction industry for those who prefer to be more active. Plus, safety is a top priority for today s contractors. Construction companies invest heavily in safety programs and continuing improvements in tools and equipment make sites safer for workers. Just as equally misunderstood as the benefits of working in construction is the skill and training it requires. Years of training and working at a trade are necessary to become a skilled craftsperson. It is not much different than the effort that goes into becoming an accountant or an attorney. Think about the skill gap between someone who has trouble fixing a leaky pipe and the men and women that build skyscrapers. It is important that we all play a role in building a better understanding of what it means to work in careers like construction. Without construction workers, we don t have the infrastructure and buildings our society relies on. Without awareness of these types of careers, job seekers are not able to make informed choices on the career that may be the best fit for them. The next time you hear someone talking about making a career change or if you know a young person wondering what they want to be when they grow up, tell them about construction. Tell them about the great pay, the opportunity, the different jobs, the pride construction workers have, the service they provide to their community, the active lifestyle and the respect that comes with having a skill that most others don t. Construction may be exactly what they re looking for.

26 Don t let safety be a disadvantage for your company Do you think of safety as an unnecessary expense to avoid if possible or do you see it as an investment that can make your company more successful? Safety is so much more than being prepared for an OSHA inspection. The most profitable, productive companies integrate safety into every part of their business. Whether you have two or 200 employees, the following are reasons why safety should matter to you. 1. Worker safety The most important reason to have a safety program is to provide your workers with the equipment and training necessary to identify and mitigate hazards. Having everyone make it home safely to their families at the end of the day is the first priority. 2. Insurance costs Insurance costs in New York are some of the highest in the country. You can t completely get rid of these costs, but you can certainly manage them. Your workers compensation experience modification rate (EMR) is based on your last three years workers comp claim history and determines your premium amount. If your EMR is 1.20, you re paying 20 percent more than the average contractor of your type. If your EMR is 0.80, you re paying 20 percent less than the average contractor of your type. It is hard to compete when you re paying 40 percent more than competitors for insurance. Investing in safety can help you manage your risk and your workers compensation claims. 3. Project opportunities Owners, construction managers and general contractors are increasingly considering a company s safety record as part of the selection process. Sometimes this is Since 1890 Serving the Western NY construction industry for over 125 years.

27 a maximum EMR that a contractor must fall under to qualify for a project. Sometimes it is a comparison of bids where everything else is close except for safety records. Contractors don t want to Tom Bush. work next to other contractors whose lack of an effective safety program could have an impact on the whole job site. 4. Regulatory compliance Agencies such as OSHA, the DOT and EPA adopt rules that companies must follow. Not complying with these rules can result in fines, citations, bad publicity and a promise of future visits from the agencies. 5. Worker morale Companies that value worker safety have higher morale than those who don t. It s simple. Who would you rather work for? A company that trains and provides the right equipment for the job to be performed safely or one that doesn t? 6. Efficiency This is one that some will dispute, but a good safety program makes the work more efficient. Planning, managing space and materials many of the elements found in safety programs are also sound project management practices. What about safety equipment that gets in the way? With proper training and the right equipment, it will quickly become second nature for your workers to get the job done using personal protective equipment. 7. Lawsuits Here in New York, lawsuits are a fact of life. Not only will a good safety program reduce the chance that an incident leading to a lawsuit may happen, but not having an effective safety program puts your company in a tough to defend position. Few things can knock an otherwise stable construction company out of business faster than a lawsuit. With programs like those available through Construction Exchange Safety Services, there s no reason for companies, large or small, not to invest in safety. As a shared resource of the Construction Exchange, our goal is for all members to have a safety director for their company without the big cost. We are committed to providing the best quality advice for the best price, explains Safety Director Tom Bush. It s about access. Now, any contractor that wants a comprehensive safety program can have one.

28 What s new is old again By Cindy Chan What do you get when you combine a concert hall, a summer camp, a theater, a spiritual center and a school? The Chautauqua Institution. But the Institution, based out of Chautauqua, N.Y., is so much more than that. And it has a rich and proud history that resonates in its programming and architecture today. According to John Shedd, the Vice President of Campus Planning and Operations for Chautauqua Institution, the organization is referred to as an institution of lifelong learning. The Chautauqua Institution started out as a camp on Chautauqua Lake, founded by Lewis Miller and John Heyl Vincent, says Shedd. Miller and Vincent wanted to establish a place for school teachers and Sunday school teachers that was similar to a university but not quite. Students of all ages could learn about music, art, religion, recreation and so on at the Institution. The campus is about 750 acres with two golf courses and private residences on the grounds as well. More information on the Institution can be found at chq.org. Also within the Chautauqua Institution National Historic Landmark is the Chautauqua Amphitheater, or the Amp. Now an impressive structure, it started out as a tree stump located in Miller Park in 1874 to Shedd says speakers used to stand on the stump to speak and that was how the Amphitheater got its humble beginnings. Eventually, people began to build on that stump. As crowds grew, they relocated to the existing location. First it was a tent over a ravine, Shedd says. Then in 1879, they built a flat-roof wooden structure. They tore that one down and built another one in 1893 that accommodated 4,000 people to sit in pewlike benches with a thrust stage. Later on in 1907, an organ chamber called the Massey Organ was constructed and inserted into the Amp. Shedd says it was referred to as the world s largest outdoor organ. A renovation took place in 1983, which saw the addition of dressing 26 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

29 rooms and rehearsal space for the choir to rehearse. Eventually, the Amp began to deteriorate because it was built on a ravine with extremely shallow foundations. As a result, the Amp needed to be rebuilt. Initially it was a renovation of the Amphitheater, [but] we discovered we were going to have to take the building down because it was beyond its useful life, Shedd recalls, adding the decision was controversial because the Amp was a contributing structure to the National Historic Landmark designation. Working with a historic preservation architect, Shedd says the plan was to take down most of the structure with the exception of the Massey Organ; the main structure, the roof structure, the floor and the benches were completely removed. The demolition took place in two phases first, the back-of-house area, originally built in the 1980s. With some properties within 10 feet of the site perimeter and the need to protect a $3 million organ, logistics planning was imperative. Demolition of the structure successfully took place Sept. 14 with accolades from neighbors. The bleachers were demolished in the spring of Additionally, the second phase included putting in all of the deep caisson foundations since the original foundation was slipping towards the lake. The Amp had been challenged by many years of use, Marty Serena, Principal Architect at Serena Sturm Architects, Ltd., says. The Institution wanted to develop a facility they thought could look far into the future. That was our inspiration for the Amphitheater. We wanted it to look and feel like it always has, but we also wanted it to really do its job for the next 100 years. The project was completed in two phases. We decided to do all of that subsurface work for the foundation in the first phase in spring of 2016, with the understanding that we had to cover it up and open for the summer season, which was the end of June, Shedd says, adding that construction was completed on time for the summer season on June 26, While construction was going on, temporary trailers were set up for performers to use as dressing rooms and employees to use as operations rooms during that first phase. Shedd says it was called the artists village. The second phase and most substantial portions of the project were constructed from September to June and completed in time for the 2017 season. The new Amp currently retains the appearance of the old Amp. The old Amp had many vertical treetop columns; some columns blocked Tiede-Zoeller Tile Corp. is the leading installer of commercial tile and terrazzo flooring in all of Western New York.

30 views, meaning certain audience members couldn t see the stage. As a result, they used half of the previous amount of columns, placed in locations that wouldn t obstruct any views. Shedd says they used wooden benches that are similar to the old benches. As well, they kept the same color from the previous Amp to use for the new one, which Shedd calls a Chautauqua alablaster, a yellowish cream color. The size of the stage was significantly increased and the curved shape of the ceiling remained the same. The old stage floor was reused in two rooms in the new back-of-house. Our intent was to recall the historical character of former aesthetics. The materials and finishes are a finely detailed solution inspired by the craftsmanship of earlier eras which advocates a response to the local materials, their finish textures, massing, color and urban fabric of the Institution.

31 ines the back-of-house as a new front to the eastern landscape improvements, Serena says. The Amp s stage has a wooden floor. Around 4,400 to 4,500 people can sit on wooden benches that are placed in a half-horseshoe shape around the building. Shedd says there had been a debate about whether or not to make those seats padded. Eventually, everyone decided to stick with the plain wooden benches, and attendees usually bring their own padding to sit on anyway. [The Amp] looks similar to the old one, except the new back-of-house is three times larger than the old one, Shedd says. They have a space for choir rehearsals, a formal choir library and a formal orchestra library. We have a very accommodating greenroom which is the area where performers get ready to go out on stage. And we also have four private dressing rooms that are nicely carpeted and have bathrooms and private showers. We also have accommodations for around 40 people in our two largest dressing rooms. Offices for operations personnel are located on the second floor. The attic operational space has a steel grate floor and accommodates our projection screens, strong points and follow-spot booth. While most of the work on the Amp is complete, Mark Ceppaglia, Project Manager at LPCiminelli, says there are a few things that need to be done which will be easier now that the summer season at the Chautauqua has wrapped up on Aug. 27, Ceppaglia says a little bit of site work still needs to be done, and the rest of the benches will be permanently installed as well. It was a challenging job, he recalls, adding that they had an intense winter season. They received 215 inches of snow, when the average is 146 inches, which shut down the New York State Thruway for two days. The site was muddy due to several freeze and thaw fluctuations which meant we had to deal with a lot of mud but the workers and subcontractors stepped up and they did a great job. During the 12-hour days, seven days a week, the guys worked extremely hard. The entire project starting with demolition through to being ready for the season opener in June 2017 took nine months. The Amp opened on time to record attendance.

32 Columbus McKinnon headquarters built with help of masonry robot New York sees first use of SAM, also known as semi-automated mason Throughout its 140-yearold history, Columbus McKinnon has shown it is not afraid to try new things. With each brick laid in the creation of its new corporate headquarters in Getzville, N.Y., the future of masonry was tested. For the first time, SAM, the semi-automated mason invented in New York, used his robotic bricklaying skills on an active construction site in the state of New York. While human masons attempt to outwork SAM, there is no denying that technological innovations will continue to affect the construction industry. Columbus McKinnon is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling systems and services, such as hoists, actuators, cranes and lifting and rigging tools. The supplier provides products and application knowledge to help customers lift, position or secure materials easily and safely. So it s only fitting that the company would permit Uniland Construction to use SAM s services to help carry the load. In four days, the robot was able to put up one entire wall along a segment of the irregular-shaped building, installing more than 2,300 bricks during that time and working alongside our qualified masons, says Jill Pawlik, Senior Marketing Manager for Uniland Construction Corporation, the general contractor of the Columbus McKinnon headquarters. 30 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

33 The world s first commercially available robot was designed and produced by Construction Robotics of Victor, N.Y. SAM paces at 180 to 200 bricks an hour, or three to five times as fast as human masons, says Pawlik. SAM can work with a variety of bricks, and is typically used for veneer commercial construction, such as institutions and schools. Masons work alongside the robot to set SAM up, strike the joints and ensure the quality of work, but thanks to this technology, they see an increase in productivity and reduction in physical labor. This is great news for older masons, who can reduce the amount of heavy lifting previously required, but can continue to use and grow their knowledge and skills. It may also help attract a younger demographic who have a desire to work with computers and robotics to an industry that has traditionally been very labor-intensive. Columbus McKinnon worked with Uniland to create the 28,950-square-foot, two-story facility to serve as headquarters for the global manufacturer. With $5.6 million invested, Uniland s project manager Jeffrey Benderson and site supervisor James Sucharski worked with top local companies in the design and build. Silvestri Architects of Amherst designed the building, C&S Engineering and Kromac Design were involved in engineering, Frey Electric was electric contractor and Allied Mechanical was HVAC contractor. Construction began in April 2015, and was completed a year later in March The speedy build was facilitated by the construction site. A shovel-ready site uniquely suited to support state-of-the-art corporate operations due to its advanced infrastructure and redundant power at a reduced cost, says Pawlik. The new building consolidated Columbus McKinnon s operations in Tonawanda and Amherst, and combined offices, training and administrative operations. The modern facilities and amenities are seen throughout 18 offices, seven conference rooms, two training rooms, large work areas with nearly 130 cubicles and a spacious breakroom with indoor and outdoor seating. A major advantage for employee morale and productivity are the ergonomic workstations in the innovative office environment. In addition, it is home to the Niagara Training Center, a customer product training facility. The center will allow customers to be trained on-site in the safe and efficient use of the company s products. It will also provide customers and employees the opportunity to interact and collaborate, and provide feedback, allowing for best-inclass service from the manufacturer. A 4,100-square-foot, state-of-the-art training center was designed to accommodate product inspections and testing. The expanded industrial testing and training center enables Columbus McKinnon sales and technical personnel to interact together to serve the needs of its customers 853 Brighton Road, Tonawanda, NY ACTIVE WORKFORCE NYS CERTIFIED WBE HAS BEEN YOUR RESOURCE FOR SCREENED, QUALIFIED TRADESPEOPLE SINCE WITH AN EXTENSIVE AND EVER-GROWING DATABASE, ACTIVE WORKFORCE CAN SUPPLY ANY PROJECT WITH THE EXACT LABOR NEEDED TO HELP BRING YOUR PROJECT TO COMPLETION.

34 around the world, says Alan Korman, Vice President at Columbus McKinnon. The new center is the only one in the northeast dedicated to inspections and training on large hoists, cranes and rigging equipment. One of the most notable elements of the building was the two-story atrium lobby, which doubles as a museum honoring the company s history and products. The displays include vintage products and memorabilia, such as a chandelier made from company chains, photography of production plants from the 1930s, 40s and 50s, and actual hoists showcasing the progression of the device s development throughout Columbus McKinnon s 140- year history. 32 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

35 We have called Western New York our home since 1887 and are deeply connected to this wonderful community, says Timothy T. Tevens, President and CEO of Columbus McKinnon, at the project s conclusion. Our new headquarters is a testament to that, paying tribute to our local heritage and our people. Our facility will allow us to be more efficient and will also provide us with future expansion options as we continue to grow and do business here and around the world. The incredible design and build of the headquarters was chosen best new office and awarded the Buffalo Business First Brick by Brick award, which honors the area s top construction projects.

36 Explore & More moving to Canalside By Melanie Franner 34 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

37 It s been almost a quarter of a century since Explore & More Children s Museum opened in Buffalo in a space measuring 500 square feet. Today, the organization has 5,000 square feet from which to showcase its wares to around 60,000 visitors gracing its doors each year. But this will all too soon change when Explore & More moves to Canalside, where it will have 43,000 square feet and an anticipated 250,000 annual visitors. This is quite a leap that the organization is taking, states Douglas Love, CEO of Explore & More. We re making the transition from being a small, local jewel to a cultural destination in the city of Buffalo. Economic revitalization Canalside is located on Buffalo s downtown waterfront. It has become a year-end draw for both resident and tourists. The redevelopment includes a 33,000-square-foot replication of the original Erie Canal that converts into a skating rink in the winter. Currently under construction is a component of the South Aud Block, the former site of the Memorial Auditorium. The Auditorium building sat vacant for 14 years, explains Thomas Dee, President of Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation (ECHDC). It was finally demolished in 2009, with plans to activate the site and create a neighborhood with multiple programmatic opportunities. Explore & More was one of several cultural organizations vying for the spot at Ca Building Western New York 35

38 nalside. After a rigorous selection process, the Children s Museum won out. Along with the win came $9 million to put toward the total $27.3 construction cost. The ECHDC s $9 million will go toward the construction of the core and shell of the building. Construction Manager for the core and shell is LeChase Construction Services, LLC. The Children s Museum is very important to the rebirth of the site, says Dee. It will be strategically located on two corners of the canal and will represent the start of the brick and mortar buildings that will help generate activity and attract the public into a newly created neighborhood. According to Dee, the ECHDC has had the development of Canalside and the Children s Museum in the works for several years. It started with ideas, benchmarking and public input, he explains. From there, we abided by our guiding principle of public access, things to do and development for four seasons. We hired consultants and they unequivocally reported that a children s museum would be the best museum for Canalside because it would attract children, families, the public and tourists. The project got underway in the spring of The new Explore & More is expected to be open to the public by the end of Although the ECHDC is contributing funds toward the outer shell, Explore and More is successfully fundraising for the balance of the project cost. Fortunately, this hasn t proven to be a problem. We ve had incredible support from the community, says Love. So many of our major sponsors and donors are giving us either the largest grant or donation that they have given in Western New York or they re giving us their first grant or donation in our region. Supporters see this as an opportunity to make a big difference for the people and prosperity of downtown and the Buffalo renaissance, but they also see it as a way to create a new institution. Building a brand new cultural institution in Buffalo is something that doesn t happen every day. New digs, new exhibits Of course, expanding from 5,000 square feet to 43,000 square feet calls for a lot of 36 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

39 rethinking. Explore and More called on the expertise of Foit-Albert Associates, as the interior architect, and Gyroscope, Inc., a firm based in Oakland, Calif., that specializes in creative innovative learning environments. The result is the very latest in ideas and educational thinking. Results from a survey of 400-plus people found that Western New Yorkers wanted the museum to reflect Western New York itself what it is all about and what makes it unique. To that end, the new Explore & More will focus on seven core educational play zones that encourage children interaction: Moving Water, which will feature a two-story waterfall, a water table with a working lock system and a Packet Boat that will show kids where the terminus of the Erie Canal actually was; Being Good Neighbors, which will feature a streetscape with three houses that showcase rotating cultures of the neighborhood; Playing Together, which will pay tribute to all of the major sports teams of New York, and will feature a sock skating rink; Farm to Fork, which will show children where food comes from by enabling them to harvest the food, put it on a truck, take it to market and even make dinner for the family; Building Buffalo, which will celebrate the architecture and architects that make the city what it is, and will include A tourist boom a touchscreen drafting table so children can design their own buildings; seum is expected to reap huge benefits The new Explore & More Children s Mu- Lighting Buffalo s Imagination, which for the community and city alike in addition to sparking the imagination of the will pay homage to inventions made in Buffalo, such as the windshield wiper, area s young folk.

40 Flex Epoxy Flooring: A name you can stand on How the Construction Exchange of Buffalo and Western New York helped grow his business By Cindy Chan Established in 2009, Flex Epoxy Flooring specializes in epoxy/urethane performance flooring systems. The company is located in West Seneca, N.Y., and headed by President Michael Jonas. Jonas comes from a family full of entrepreneurs, so starting his own business made sense. Prior to starting Flex Epoxy Flooring, Jonas was already working for an epoxy company for a year and a half. When he left, he saw an opportunity to go into business for himself. There weren t a lot of companies [doing epoxy work] at the time, he recalls. Flex Epoxy Flooring mainly services the commercial and industrial industry but occasionally residential customers as well. According to Jonas, epoxy flooring requires several intricate steps to become a high-quality floor. The epoxy system consists of two liquid parts that are mixed prior to application. One part is an epoxy resin and the other part is a co-reactant or hardener. According to the Flex Epoxy Flooring website (flexepoxyflooring.com), epoxies produce a hard chemi- CONSTRUCTION & ABATEMENT 3371 Harlem Rd. - Rear Cheektowaga, NY stacy@segconstructioninc.com INC.

They are typically used on concrete and steel to give resistance to water, alkali and acids. We re manufacturing the floor as we re installing it, Jonas says. Jonas credits the Construction Exchange of Buffalo and Western New York for helping his company reach its goals. As a local business owner, Jonas remembers the struggle of going out to find work, but the Construction Exchange made things easy for him with several resources, like their online planroom. Flex Epoxy Flooring mainly services the commercial and industrial industry but occasionally residential customers as well. I m an owner and operator, and the struggle that I have is not only do I have to find the work but I also have to go out and install the work, Jonas explains. With the Construction Exchange and the way their system is set up, it was easy to go through their documents and pull out any epoxy flooring-related files, instead of me taking time out of my day to visit sites at private facilities. I can do an estimate through the Construction Exchange from my computer in my office in 30 minutes rather than going to the facility, talking to people and coming back to the office, which would take two to three hours. Jonas adds that he is able to access blueprints efficiently and easily through the Construction Exchange when he needs them. The other way it helped us was we were able to connect with a lot of general contractors, even outside of the Construction Exchange, Jonas says. I get bid invitations from them on other projects. It s kind of a good networking service to other people in the industry. For more information, visit flexepoxyflooring.com. F 38 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

42 University of Notre Dame gets new, pure research facility By Cindy Chan Collaborative research is the focus at the University of Notre Dame s new McCourtney Hall building, which is a joint research building between the College of Science and the College of Engineering students. Serving as an anchor for University of Notre Dame s new East Campus Research Complex, McCourtney Hall, a 220,000-square-foot building that opened in 2016, is specifically for graduate-level researchers to tackle three key areas analytic sciences and engineering, chemical and molecular engineering and drug discovery. According to McCourtney Hall s website (mccourtneyhall.nd.edu), within these walls researchers are working to discover new technologies in the face of the world s grand challenges and to advance Notre Dame s mission to be a powerful means for doing good in the world. According to Geoffrey Lisle, Principal In Charge and Market Leader of learning at BSA Life Structures, the newly built McCourtney Hall is an L-shaped building. The knuckle of the L- shaped structure is where the office and common spaces are located to encourage collaborations between the different researchers, faculty members and grad students. The two wings are dedicated to research lab space. 40 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

43 Some of the lab space is shell space, currently, Lisle says. As the program grows and new researchers are hired, space can be built out to accommodate evolving science and changing team sizes. They didn t want to be full on Day 1. Around 100,000 square feet of space is designated for lab space for graduate students which is around half of the entire building. Of that 100,000 square feet, 70,000 square feet has, so far, been used. The remainder of the space will be reserved for future hires and new labs to be built in the future. Mike Daly, Senior Director of Project Management for the University of Notre Dame, says McCourtney Hall is the first research facility that is purely for research purposes. We have other buildings on campus that contain a small portion of research, but this building is the first for us that contains 100 percent research, Daly explains. Lisle describes the interior of the building as an old factory/ warehouse-style building. It has that edgy feel with some of the exposed concrete columns and exposed concrete floors against the modern contemporary lab spaces and conference rooms, Lisle says.

44 Winds of change Revamping Seneca One plaza View of retail kiosks and Building 2. Seneca One plaza, home to the 38-story building offering Class A office space in downtown Buffalo, is about to undergo big changes. With plans to turn the complex into mixed-use with office space, residential, retail space and plaza, Developer Douglas Development Corp. is hoping to create a 42The Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc. vibrant new hub in the downtown spot. Douglas Development, based in Washington, D.C., is a development company known for revitalizing underdeveloped, emerging areas and neighborhoods. Formed in 1985 by Douglas Jemal, the company remains a privately operated, familyowned company.

45 So far the project has seen many changes since the initial plan was announced, and Jemal says the project and his vision would evolve over the years, but the emphasis has always been on creating foot traffic. A lot of our focus is on the plaza and retail area because we are believers in retail creating a community meeting place, says Laurene MacTaggart, Director of Marketing for Douglas Development. The plan is to transform the courtyard around the tower into retail and residential space, while creating more of a user-friendly outdoor plaza. With aggressive wind sweeping in from Lake Erie and through the plaza area, it can make it unpleasant or downright unbearable for pedestrians, which is why the plaza is usually empty. After a study conducted by the University of Toronto on wind reduction was performed at the plaza, Jemal decided to construct seven small retail kiosks that will line the east plaza along Washington Street. Each kiosk, approximately 434 square feet, will act as a barrier to the wind, shielding the plaza and adding retail and visual interest. The fully enclosed kiosks will be ideal for smaller businesses or pop-up shops, while the larger traditional retailers will be housed in two new single-story buildings one building measuring 8,000 square feet and the other measuring 3,500 square feet.

And that saying is at the forefront of the newly built Golisano Center for Community Health. Located next to the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center in Niagara Falls, N.Y., the Golisano Center is a 26,000-square-foot, two-story multi-tenant community health facility. According to Elisabeth Perreault, Senior Vice President and Western New York Health Practice Leader for Cannon Design, the Golisano Center combines a variety of different clinics and social services into one facility, one location. The Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center began conceptualizing the Golisano Center in Construction and design began in 2015 and ended in the spring of The center has been in operation for a little over a year. The building is a combination of cement fiber board and bricks, with some metal panel and glazing. Since the Golisano Center and the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center are located in the heart of a residential neighborhood in Niagara Falls, it was important to consider its surroundings during the construction process. Like many older hospitals that have been here for over 100 years, this facility is across the street from two-story residences, Perreault says. [This is] a welcoming community center that doesn t feel like an institutional environment. Thus, fitting in with their residential surroundings inspired the design and architecture of the Golisano Center. The overall design and aesthetic was based on this idea of architectural expression that bridged residential and institutional architecture, Perreault says. Within the center is an integrated primary care and behavioral health clinic, children s mental health services, the Orleans County Health Home for Children and the Orleans County Adult Home, to name a few. The [Adult Home] service is a social service that connects patients with a variety of different things, such as housing and job development opportunities, Perreault explains. As a result, the Golisano Center helps individuals address the social determinants of health care. Lots of evidence and healthcare and government organizations realize a lot of patients who suffer from various 46 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

49 chronic diseases or poor health are in those situations because of other things like not having proper housing, not having a good support system and having issues with mental health. As well, it could be age or different types of disabilities that don t allow them to self-manage their own health care. Additionally, the Golisano Center houses the Rivershore Inc. s Child Advocacy Center of Niagara, which provides services to individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities. The community outreach suite is on the second floor, and it houses a variety of different community programs that the Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center operates, such as community outreach and education programs, Perreault says. Karen Root, Senior Health Care Account Executive for Millington Lockwood Business Interiors, says she provided the furniture, fixtures and equipment for the Golisano Center. We provided public spaces comfortable for patients and their family members, exam room furniture which offers durability and flexibility and custom administrative work areas with lounges and modular Herman Miller systems, Root says. In the Child Advocacy Center, we offered comfortable children s furniture to complement the architectural finishes. According to Root, Millington Lockwood Business Interiors is a certified Herman Miller dealer whose focus is transforming spaces into inspiring places.

50 Mixed-use building to feature brewery, bakery and more By Cindy Chan A building unlike any other, 79 Perry will soon house a bakery, a brewery and residential and commercial spaces things that don t usually go together harmoniously co-existing under one roof. Pegula Sports and Entertainment, LLC (PSE) has owned the property for over a year. According to Frank Cravotta, Executive Vice President of Creative Services for PSE, North American Breweries is its partner and anchor tenant, opening up a brewery featuring its first Labatt Blue brand on the first floor of the 77,000-square-foot, more than 100-yearold building. Also on the first floor with the brewery will be a large Labatt-themed restaurant with access to a beer garden. We ve been to the West Coast, even to Asheville in North Carolina, which is Beer City, U.S.A., Cravotta says. We ve noted that, in a lot of breweries, the actual brewing is behind-the-scenes and hidden from the customer. As a result, 79 Perry will feature the brewery at the front of the building, which Cravotta says is rare but also a great experience for customers. Construction hasn t started yet, but it will be a restoration to return it to its historic peak. Construction Manager Chris Hogan, who is also the Chief Operating Officer for RP Oak Hill Building Company, anticipates the first phase of work, including the brewery and restaurant, will be delivered in August Steven Carmina, Architect at Carmina Wood Morris, DPC, says the second floor will feature corporate offices for North American Breweries, a couple more of- 48 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

51 fices and some support for the restaurant. The third and fourth floors will be commercial spaces, and the fifth floor will contain residential space, with around three to five units. Cravotta explains that 79 Perry consists of two buildings one part is wood frame construction with open timbers and a lot of windows, which is perfect for residential living, while the other part is made of concrete construction with horizontal windows that doesn t provide spectacular views. The painted brick along Perry Street and Illinois Street will be refinished, Paul Lang, Senior Associate and Project Architect, explains. The paint will be removed, exposing the original color and more of the brick. Lang also says the original windows are still in place, but they will be updated and restored as well. He says new industrial staff windows will be installed. The concrete in the back is in stellar shape; it s just going to get cleaned, Lang adds. Inside 79 Perry, the wood floors and wood frame building will be restored. The original wood beam ceilings will be maintained and exposed throughout the structure. We re very excited that Bills and Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula want to restore the building to its original glory, Carmina says. They could have done anything they wanted, but they re building it the right way and giving it back to the City of Buffalo for another 100 years. It s going to look just like it did when it opened back in the 1880s to 1900s. Hogan says the exterior will resemble a 19th-century industrial masonry building, and it will sit next to the KeyBank Center where the Buffalo Sabres play. It will look right at home among its neighbors on cobblestone streets. It s just got that 100-year-ago feel when you look down at the cobblestone streets and the existing buildings. The restoration of 79 Perry will enhance that feeling in a dramatic way, Hogan says. F County Line STONE Co., Inc.

52 An expansion that makes an impression Uniland upgrades Great Lakes Orthodontic facility Uniland Construction Corporation has given the staff of Great Lakes Orthodontics Ltd. something to smile about with a 24,000-square foot building expansion. The Tonawanda, N.Y.-based manufacturing company recently upgraded its 53,000-square foot space, which has now grown by half to 77,000 square feet, with expanded labs and offices. Great Lakes Orthodontics is a leading national orthodontics manufacturer and distributor, serving orthodontists, prosthodontists, oral surgeons and the restorative and general dental profession worldwide. The increasing demands for its products necessitated the investment of $4.2 million to expand the building to ensure the company could keep up with requests. The manufacturing wing of the company received nearly 15,000 additional square feet, while the warehouse and office areas saw a growth of approximately 10,000 square feet. The modern offices now feature stateof-the-art amenities, a conference room, warehousing, repair room, packaging area and an expanded laboratory where the company fabricates its dental appliances, says Jill Pawlik, Senior Marketing Manager for Uniland. The size increase has created not only a larger, more comfortable workplace, but the breakroom/cafeteria was completely renovated with a more modern, collegiate feel, to the delight of staff. With modern appliances, lounge areas boasting multiple TV sets and comfortable oversized chairs, and a Market C (an innovative, self-service convenience store), this is no longer a space to just eat a bagged lunch, but one where employees can rejuvenate and even hold meetings before going back to the grind. The company also added 117 parking spaces, for a total of 359 to ensure ample space now and well into the future. David Lavin, Vice President of Operationsfor Great Lakes Orthodontics, says the company had outgrown the facility, thanks in large part to the growth in digital dentistry. Currently, it produces 2,500 dental-related items, and sees annual growth of five to 10 percent. To keep up with demand, executives had to make the choice between adding second shifts or expand the building. There is a cultural aspect here which we pride ourselves on, says Lavin. We re 100-percent employee-owned, we have a unique environment and having a second shift would have been too difficult for our employees, so we came to the conclusion that we should expand the building. We chose to work with Uniland on the project since they were familiar with the property and we had worked with them successfully before, says Lavin. Uniland had designed and built the original facility in In early 2016, the firm began planning the expansion and broke ground in August that same year. Project Manager Jeffrey Benderson and Architectural Interior Designer Mary Hazlett kept things on track, completing the work on time less than a year later in May While the expansion project is aesthetically pleasing, it is the functionality and efficiency of how the new spaces are interwoven throughout the facility that is most important, Lavin explains. 50 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

53 David Lavin, Great Lakes Orthodontics Vice President of Operations. The business is growing. We ve been growing all along, adding new product lines, expanding into digital dentistry. We re always looking for ways to improve our products, says Lavin. The building expansion is intended to support growth, which includes additional employees when the need arises. Founded in 1965, Great Lakes Orthodontics has been employee-owned for 15 years. The company currently employs approximately 250 people throughout the Western New York region with plans to add more. The new space will meet the current and future needs of Great Lakes Orthodontics for years to come, and allow the company to grow its technology, product lines and human resources.

54 The new purpose is the old look Renovated building exterior. By Cindy Chan What used to be the headquarters for a bottling company is now a residential building with a tasty twist. Turner Brothers Lofts, based in Buffalo, N.Y., was originally known as the Turner Brothers Bottling Company, built in 1853 before the Civil War. During that time, the Turner Brothers Bottling Company was responsible for bottling soft drinks and distributing them across the East Coast through the Midwest. The building was then sold to American Household Storage, who added a few more buildings to the complex in According to Jake Schneider, President and CEO of Schneider Family of Services, today it is a 40-unit apartment building and a food manufacturing plant for pierogies. Ru's Pierogi interior. Construction on the building began in the spring of 2015, with the building officially being open to tenants on May 1, The 40 apartment units are a mix of one- and two-bedrooms, which are very upscale, Schneider says. Amenities within the suites include granite counters, hardwood floors and maple cabinets. An interesting feature in the Turner Brothers Lofts building is they used the historic doors from the warehouse for visual interest rather than function.

Schneider says the Turner Brothers Lofts project is a Historic Tax Credit project, which means the respective projects must be of mixed use and must preserve the historic fabric of the building. Chris Hogan, Executive Vice President of RP Oak Hill Building Company, says that to qualify for Historic Tax Credits, the project design is reviewed by the New York State Office of Historic State Preservation to ensure that the buildings maintain their historic fabric. Afterwards, that review is submitted to the National Parks Service for acceptance into the HTC program. Roof deck. If you have a qualifying building, you are able to recover a percentage of the cost you spend restoring that building to the period of significance, Hogan says, adding he was the general contractor on the project. Without the tax credit, we could not have made that project happen, Schneider says. However, maintaining the historic appearance of the building had its challenges. Schneider recalls that a lot of the infrastructure was debilitated. Restoring the masonry was a huge obstacle, he says. We also had to build a super structure up through the existing woodframe building for the elevator and stair tower, Schneider says. Hogan says that was one of the most interesting aspects of the project dropping the elevator shaft and stairwell in between the buildings and getting all the floors to match up, creating a core area that brought the buildings together. Subtrades that worked on Turner Brothers Lofts include Craig Holler Excavating (site work); Industrial Welding & Fabricating Co. (steel); Mandon Building Systems (carpentry and drywall); Pepe Construction Co., Inc. (masonry); Cassidy Masonry (masonry restoration); Kirst Construction Inc. (concrete); J.A. Gulick (window restoration); Murray Roofing Company Inc. (roofing); Fairway Floor Covering (floor); Empire Building Diagnostics (demolition); Huron Plumbing & Heating Inc. (plumbing); Davis Ulmer Sprinkler Co. (fire protection); Allied Mechanical, Inc. (HVAC); and Wittburn Enterprises (electrical). In addition to the apartment units, there is also another interesting tenant taking up space in the building Ru s Pierogi. Located on the first floor of Turner Brothers Lofts, the manufacturing space is filled with stainless steel equipment and processing lines. Schneider describes the ambiance as a mixture of contemporary and historic. The new purpose is the old look, Hogan says. The biggest hurdle is creating an acceptable restoration plan. You can t really add things to it that would change how it would look 100 years ago. F 2018 Building Western New York 53

56 Science museum promises better views, displays By Cindy Chan The newly renovated Buffalo Museum of Science is truly out of this world. Nine years ago, the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences made a commitment to revitalize the entire facility through various renovations and upgrades, according to Marisa Wigglesworth, President and CEO of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. One such renovation includes the replacement of the Kellogg Observatory dome. Wigglesworth says the Kellogg Observatory opened in 1931, but it s been closed to the public since As a result, we re thrilled to be renovating that space, Wigglesworth says. Christopher Guerra, an Architect at HHL Architects, says the Buffalo Museum of Science wanted to improve its astronomy 54 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

57 program, hence the replacement of the astronomical observatory dome. According to Guerra, there are two domes that sit atop the museum the smaller dome is for solar observation while the larger one is for astronomical observation. The latter is the Kellogg Observatory. The astronomical observatory was in serious disrepair and the dome no longer opened or rotated, Guerra says. To meet the needs of the Society s astronomy program, the current dome needed to be replaced with a state-of-the-art, electronically operated observatory dome. Ash Manufacturing Co. built the new observatory dome in Illinois, with an 18- foot diameter hemisphere of aluminum formed by the joining of a number of interlocking and self-support segments into a weather-tight dome roof, says Guerra. The hemisphere is supported upon numerous ball-bearing rollers that are locked into the dome support track rail, which allows for the dome s almost frictionless movement. The old dome, which weighed 5,000 pounds, was removed piece by piece. Afterwards, a structural concrete ring was added to the top of the existing observatory walls. The main challenges for this project have been all of the structural unknowns, Guerra says. The building is almost 100 years old and had very limited documentation of existing conditions. According to Wigglesworth, the Kellogg Observatory is slated to reopen in the spring of 2018 in the meantime, there are several renovations taking place to improve the dome and its surrounding area. Kevin Martin of Picone Construction, who is the General Contractor on the project, says he and his team are creating a new stairwell and adding elevator access to the roof. There used to be just a spiral staircase from the fourth floor to the roof, but now we re building a regular staircase and adding an elevator to make it accessible for all guests, Martin explains, adding that, in addition to the new stairs and elevator, a new deck on the roof is being built. It s a beautiful rooftop area that will be marvelous programming space and event space when it s ready, Wigglesworth says. It needs to be repaved. Other upgrades included tackling each gallery exhibit which the museum calls science studios and changing them from exhibits to interactive experiences. An exhibit is typically a passive experience for the guest. Instead, now guests can take part in an active exploration of science in a space that invites innovation, much like an artist s studio or a dance studio, Wigglesworth says. We really believe in the experiences we offer in our science studios today guests are exploring, making connections, that s what science is all about. For more information, visit sciencebuff.org.

58 Graycliff Conservancy to complete restoration in 2018 By Cindy Chan After two decades of continuous restoration work by a plucky startup non-profit, the Graycliff Conservancy, visitors can soon return to the year Since 1997, the Graycliff Conservancy has been dedicated to the restoration of this lakeside property and telling its story to the visiting public. Between 1926 and 1931, Graycliff was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Isabelle R. Martin, wife of Industrialist Darwin Martin, as a summer home for their family on the shore of Lake Erie in Derby, N.Y. Graycliff consists of two houses. The Isabelle Martin House is 6,200 square feet with seven bedrooms and five bathrooms. It has a living room also called a viewing room as well as a sun porch, kitchen pantry and servants area. The second house is called the Foster House, which is smaller in size, and it contains a garage and some utility rooms with an apartment above consisting of four bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom. Bob Wooler, Executive Director for Graycliff, says the property was put on the market in 1997 because the boarding school that had previously been operating at Graycliff closed up and the owners were going to sell. Some local preservationists decided to restore it back to the pristine conditions of its early years, namely 1931, Wooler says. By sheer volunteer energy, pluck and drive over the years, they ve hammered away at that agenda. Wooler says a few years ago, non-historic buildings have been demolished and an exterior restoration took place, including restoring the pond and other large features. Several fundraisers have taken place since then, and now they have the funds to complete an interior restoration. 56 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

59 We have a small project going on right now, restoring bathrooms, Wooler says, adding that restoration of the walls, ceilings and floors will take place soon. Work is slated to be ongoing throughout the winter and the next year. Regarding the exterior restoration, Wooler says there were a number of different phases. One of the first phases involved demolishing the non-historic buildings. Afterwards, a visitor center and a gift shop was built. Graycliff also received a new roof, new chimney, stonework and got some stucco redone. We removed the asbestos, tested for asbestos and took asbestos out where it was found we did all that abatement work, Wooler says. Wooler says the Isabelle Martin House is a house museum that is not meant to be lived in, while residents can occupy the Foster House. One of the options discussed was to turn it into a bed and breakfast one day. James Reddin, President of Reddin Construction, was the general contractor on the project. Reddin was in charge of restoring the five bathrooms in the Isabelle Martin House. Only one bathroom on the main floor of the Isabelle Martin House will be functioning, while the rest will be decorative. Although the washrooms will have tubs, toilets and sinks, none of them except for the one will be connected to a water system. We re sourcing antique items [for the restoration] because this building was built in 1928, Reddin says. The goal was the retain as much of the original surfaces and materials as possible. Needless to say, finding sinks and fixtures from 1928 nowadays is no easy task. As well, a lot of the bathrooms had colored plaster, which they intend to remove. However, someone had previously skim-coated over the colored plaster with regular smooth plaster. It s a bit laborious to carefully take things apart as opposed to just removing everything in the traditional manner. We ve had to number all the pieces of the wood removed from the walls and keep everything so it goes back to where it came from, Reddin says. One key ingredient for the plaster being used by Reddin and his team is, interestingly enough, goat hair. Not too common today, goat hair was used fairly often in the scratch coat many years ago. Buffalo Architectural Casting, a 40-year-old plastering subcontractor, was able to source the goat hair, and it has worked well so far. We had to obtain goat hair to put in the base coat plaster, which was interesting, says Gary Bolles, Co-owner of Buffalo Plastering and Architectural Casting. According to Bolles, goat hair has a fiber which binds the plaster and makes it much more stronger. In the past, goats roamed on the Graycliff property, keeping the property manicured, and those same goats provided the hair that was used in the plaster mixture. Construction is slated to be complete by November For more information, visit experiencegraycliff.com. F 2018 Building Western New York 57

60 Preseason game on Aug. 10. Bright lights big stadium By Cindy Chan Lights complete on night of Aug. 1. This time around for New Era Field located in Orchard Park, N.Y., the spotlight is on the lights themselves rather than the athletes. Last year, the New Era Field received upgrades that were funded by the annual capital improvement allowance provided by the stadium lease. Such renovations included a renovation of the lighting on the poles, a full-depth reconstruction of One Bills Drive (the stadium s main entrance off of Abbott Road), and repairs to certain parking lots. A trench drain was installed at Gate 1, as was a concrete surface around the Ralph Wilson statue at Founder s Plaza. 58 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

Shane Freeland, Frey Electric Foreman, says the stadium s six poles are approximately 170 feet high. Originally, there were 360 lights altogether 60 lights per pole. The poles are about 350 feet apart. Freeland says those lights have been demolished. Now in their places are 384 LED light fixtures, each weighing around 75 pounds each. They use a quarter of the energy [the old ones used] and provide more light for the field, Freeland explains, adding they started on the project on June 20 of this year. They officially wrapped up on July 27. With the NFL, I d say more than half of the teams are using LED lights, Jim Waddell, Marketing Manager for Frey Electric, says. Every team will eventually [make the move]. Installing these lights has been in the works for a long time, according to Freeland. It was a request by the Buffalo Bills for years for three reasons the quality of the light on the field, cost savings and maintenance. We used to have to do yearly maintenance, Waddell says. In the long run, it s saving a lot of money and time for everybody. It seems like it s a basic project, but it s unique and it s something that they might not have to change ever again. The project was completed just in time for the Buffalo Bills first night practice on Aug. 4 and their first pre-season game on Aug. 10. Freeland says they had to work with a short time frame, but the job ran smoothly. F 2018 Building Western New York 59

62 The Curtiss Hotel is one of a kind By Cindy Chan At the Curtiss Hotel, no two rooms or pieces of décor are alike. Originally built in 1912, the over-100-year-old abandoned office building is now a boutique hotel in downtown Buffalo, N.Y. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Curtiss Hotel underwent a historic restoration that began in the spring of Construction wrapped up in February of 2017, and finishing touches were complete by June The hotel had a soft opening earlier this year, but according to Chris Hogan, Construction Manager for the project and Executive Vice President for RP Oak Hill Building Company, a grand opening never took place because bookings were coming in non-stop. The Curtiss Hotel was among the first terra cotta, steel-frame structures in Buffalo. Built in 1912 and known as the Curtiss Building, it preceded even the city hall building. Mark Croce, Owner of the Curtiss Hotel, says it is one of the biggest art deco buildings in Buffalo, also known as a Chicagostyle skyscraper. In its original form, it was a six-story building with a basement, but after the restoration it is now an eight-story building. It is a pretty unique facility in Buffalo, with very elegant finishes, Hogan says. The exterior is white terra cotta that s been restored. We recreated a cornice around the 60 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.

63 top sixth floor that had been removed decades ago. It really makes the building look like a jewel. Croce says the lower level includes a fitness center designed by G&G Fitness Equipment, a local company. There is also a men s boutique salon and spa run by Leon Studio One. The first floor of the Curtiss Hotel features a restaurant and rotating bar called Chez Ami. It turns about once every hour and it s a big attraction, Croce says, adding that a patio is available for year-round seating for 80 people. Overall, the restaurant and bar can seat 200 guests. The hotel features 68 rooms from its second to sixth floors 67 are regular hotel rooms and one is a long-term residential unit. Hogan says no two rooms are alike, and it s all thanks to the interior design expertise of Interior Designer Paul LaMorticella of Interior SC and Dream Designs & More Inc. I probably have used over 800,000 accessories that are different from the rooftop to the lower level of this hotel, LaMorticella says. Everything was sought out and worked as it would be done in a home. All of the details are somewhat different. For example, there are five sets of Lexington furniture. I mixed all of these different elements for 68 rooms in the hotel. It s mix-and-match, it comes off very warm and people love it. The roof is the eighth floor in the hotel, featuring four bars, a banquet room and a fire pit, as well as scenic views of Lake Erie and the skyline of downtown Buffalo. Since the building was abandoned, a lot of the historic fabric was missing, which presented an opportunity to rebuild plenty of elements. The external terra cotta had been restored by replicating terra cotta pieces from the building back to its original condition. The terra cotta panels in the hallways were restored back to their original condition as well. The original plaster walls were patched and painted. All of the windows were restored they were stripped down, repainted and reinstalled, Hogan says.

64 Old Hotel Niagara to be infused with new life By Cindy Chan The Hotel Niagara will be undergoing a restoration that will take its guests back in time. Located in Niagara Falls, N.Y., the 13-story Hotel Niagara opened in 1924 and has been through a lot since then. Ed Riley, Managing Partner and Senior Associate of Brine Wells Development, LLC, says it s been closed for almost 10 years. The building has also been partially gutted; in particular, the upper floors above the mezzanine have been demolished. Riley also says the roof needs to be replaced. The restoration is slated to begin in January or February of 2018; however, stabilization work on the property began in the fall. Riley says the hotel is scheduled to open to the public in March of 2019 if all goes according to schedule. Jamie Williams, senior associate at Holmes King Kallquist & Associates, Architects, says the intention of the restoration the hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places is to bring it back to its former historic character and seek Historic Preservation Tax Credits. The guest room floors will be significantly reconstructed to achieve brand-standard hotel rooms, but we ll maintain the configuration of the historic corridor, he explains. Beyond the corridor, it will be new construction with a traditional appearance to complement the character of the historic building. However, the lower level floors first and second have much more historic features intact, although much of it has to be reconstructed. Riley explains that a lot of the damage is due to demolition and water infiltration. We will restore the physical fabric that is there and replicate any missing components, Williams says. Some of the missing components include original decorative walls that have been opened up or demolished, the main reception desk and meeting spaces. Williams is determined to replicate the reception desk, but has already encountered a couple of obstacles. The desk is a fairly significant component, so we will be replicating it. We re trying to determine what the original looked like based on historic photos and drawings. We have not been able to locate the drawings, which is a setback, Williams says, but I haven t given up yet. I ve made contact with a number of historic repositories in the Buffalo and Niagara Falls area who have said they have files on the hotel, so hopefully we ll find something on which to base the design. Otherwise, we ll use reception desk imagery and detailing from other hotels that were designed by the same architect. The hotel s first floor will feature a two-story lobby, reception desk, elevator lobby, main ballroom, an adjacent gathering space, bar, main kitchen, three-meal restaurant, dining room and meeting rooms and a lounge/bar with direct street access. The second floor will have similar features, such as pre-function spaces overlooking the lobby, main ballroom, meeting rooms and, possibly, a second ballroom. Guestrooms will be located from the third floor to the 12th floor. Riley says they are still working on the room count, but he anticipates there will be around 160 to 180 suites. The roof is considered the 13th floor. We ll also have a rooftop terrace/lounge with some really nice views, Riley says. The exterior of the Hotel Niagara is mostly intact, with a brick masonry façade and stone and terracotta accents. Williams says there will be some parapet reconstruction because water tends to infiltrate the masonry capstones over time. However, a large part of this restoration, as with many restorations, is the windows. The lowerlevel windows are original monumental wood windows that will be restored. The tower windows are replacement aluminum windows that will remain as such until they can replaced at a later date. The marquee is an important defining aspect. It s missing, but we will be replicating it from historic photos, Williams says, adding that the exterior signage is still to be decided upon. F 62 Construction Exchange of Buffalo & Wny, Inc.
