Owner: Arise Healthcare/ RMC Medstone
Architect: Polkinghorn Group
Austin Pain Associates teamed up with Polkinghorn Group Architects and IE2 Construction, Inc. to add two (2) operating rooms, expand pre-operation by five (5) beds, and expand recovery by seven (7) beds. We also enlarged the support areas to accommodate the additional surgeries.
Further complicating construction was the addition of an elevator, upsizing the air compressor and vacuum pump, relocating the medical gas manifold, installing a new chiller, and replacing the existing generator. All of these items had to be installed in phase one so that the 1st additional OR would go online at the end of phase one. These critical systems were scheduled and detailed well in advance so downtime for the surgical center was minimized. This project allows Austin Pain Associates to add over 200 surgical procedures per month to their proforma and maximize their potential as a leading pain relief surgical facility.
Black Star Co-op
Owner: Black Star Co-op
Architect: Matthew Nesbitt Architecture
Engineer: AYS Engineering
Austin's Black Star Co-op is the world's first cooperatively owned brewpub. The radical idea began in 2006 and has been gaining steam ever since culminating in a final location at Midtown Commons. off Lamar and Airport.
To add to the hullabaloo, the worker's Assembly decided to take the project "Green". With LEED certification as the goal, architect Matthew Nesbitt, AYS Engineering, and IE2 Construction held weekly meeting in conjunction with Black Star and Lavin Facility Management to discuss the pros and cons of each point. The result of this collaborative approach was a LEED project that cost very little added money.
