McDowell Center Moisture Remediation

Estimated Length of Project: December 15,2022 (Substantial Completion) + January 30, 2023 (Final Completion) The Charles McDowell Center for the Blind was constructed in the early 1990s and has minimal upgrades to the building over the past 30 years. The First Floor of the East Wing contains 15 Dorm Rooms, support areas including Arts/Crafts, Study, Laundry, Nurse's Station, Fitness Room, Offices, Lounge, Kitchen, and Cafeteria. During the spring of 2020, there was a mechanical failure within the building, resulting in the creation of an environment suitable for moisture retention and mold growth. The portion of the building where this occurred is an area of approximately 14,000 SF, in the residential portion (East Wing) of the building. The project scope covers mechanical, plumbing, and architectural rework to remedy existing issues and open the area back for occupancy again.
