Scope Of Work
Yates Construction was the lead design-builder providing preconstruction and construction services for the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) project. Designed to house 582 residents, this facility offers assisted living, memory support and long-term care units for the individuals who so faithfully served our country. The 817,000 SF design-build project consists of three towers with a common community area as well as a parking garage for 400 vehicles. Sustainable features of the AFRH include increased natural lighting, indoor/outdoor integration, individual temperature control, high quality indoor air and an open floor plan. The facility includes offices for administrative accounting, security, recreation, and facilities management. Amenities include a commercial kitchen that serves over 600 meals, three times a day, as well as recreational areas. A seven-day sustainability design has been incorporated into the facility in the event of a category five hurricane, and can provide continued HVAC, potable water, electricity, sewage treatment, and fire protection.
