The World Class Industries’ new facility sits on 13 acres and includes 10,000 SF of new corporate office space and 53,000 SF of new warehouse space.

The entrance has floor-to-ceiling storefront and glazing, with a custom metal panel canopy and soffit system. The office area includes 13 private offices and 4,000 SF of open office space with modular office furniture. Employee areas include four restrooms, two breakrooms, three conference rooms and a training room with automated shade control and audio/video equipment. The floor finishes in the new office space consist of carpet flooring, ceramic tile, luxury vinyl tiling and sealed concrete. The reception area has a custom fabricated reception desk with a floor to ceiling mural clad to the back wall behind the desk.

Working well with the city of Hiawatha was crucial to completing the project on time. By developing a good relationship early in the project, the city of Hiawatha understood what Graham was trying to accomplish. During freezing temperatures, they assisted Graham with multiple inspections so Graham could proceed with the schedule.

With the final site work to start in May, spring rain began to cause an issue. The team worked long hours and Saturdays. Graham and the contractors all worked together to help coordinate their efforts with equipment and overtime needed to hit the schedule. With all this hard work, Graham consolidated seven weeks into four.

UnityPoint St. Luke’s Hospital in Cedar Rapids, IA and Graham Construction have a long and successful history together. Our first major project was back in 2006 with the construction and renovation of their Emergency Department, Pharmacy, ICU and Surgery areas. The project consisted of a total of 118,980 square feet of which 21,350 was an addition, and 97,630 square feet was a renovation. These areas were occupied and operational during construction requiring multiple phases and strict adherence to a Risk Assessment and Infection Control plan. Since then, we have completed numerous projects for them including CT & Imaging Rooms, MRI Suite Renovation, Patient Floor Remodel, Pain Clinic, Rehab Gym, Vascular Lab, Heart Center Renovation, 3rd Floor renovation, MOP Multi-specialty Clinic renovation, and Resource Center, to name only a few. “Graham Construction never skipped a beat or had a patient complaint related to construction. There is an element of trust that rarely happens.” Says former CEO Ted Townsend.

The project required six separate phases in order to maintain continuous operations of the hospital. The additions were constructed during phases one, two and five. Renovations of the Central Physical Plant, Dialysis, Emergency, Pharmacy, Obstetrics as well as Family Practice and Specialty Clinics occurred throughout phases two through six. Coordinating these phases and maintaining infection control and continuous operations made this a challenging project.

Some of the challenges during construction included; keeping the existing Lab operational within a Surgery Suite that was undergoing a complete renovation, remodeling the Emergency Department in multiple phases to allow the department to remain open, value-engineering $3MM out of the original cost to bring the project within budget, and completing over $400,000 of owner added scope items without adding additional time to the overall schedule. There was also 6 weeks of rain delay during completion of the site work and exterior of the new MOB. Graham was able to absorb this delay into the schedule and finish on time.
