Substantial reconstruction of a K-5 public school serving a student population of 400. Our design responsibilities included grading, drainage, utilities, paving, site planning, and sediment and erosion controls.
Glenville School
Long Ridge School
On this 14 acre campus, we provided services for the addition of an auditorium and parking. Design services include stormwater management, water supply, primary and reserve Sanitary Sewer Disposal System (SSDS), grading, planning, and layout. The SSDS was designed for the school’s K through 5 use and the summer day camp use.
The Winston Preparatory School
We participated in a Master Plan Design Charrette focused on the sustainable use and restoration of this 13-acre campus to serve the unique academic needs and mission of the Winston Preparatory School. Ultimately, we designed the site and received necessary regulatory approvals for a new teaching facility including an outdoor classroom that replaced an existing modular classroom building. The newly organized campus ties together several disparate buildings and sections of the site with pedestrian and vehicular improvements while respecting and restoring a wetland and watercourse corridor central to the site. LEED status is pending.
Greenwich Hospital
Modernization of the hospital included demolishing most of the existing facility and building a new hospital. Evaluated the sanitary sewage flow and the existing infrastructure to accept flow and designed new sanitary sewers. Designs of offsite road improvements were required as were State and Local permits. Construction phasing was critical.
Yale New Haven Health
Services were provided for the renovation and reuse of an existing, 120,000 SF general office building. The proposal called for a renovation by YNHH that would include an Emergency Department, Diagnostic Radiology Imaging Center, Outpatient Geriatric Care Facility and Medical Offices. In addition to building improvements, the proposal also called for the reconfiguration of a portion of the existing, 512 space surface parking area and onsite access road; utility upgrades including a new 350 kW backup generator. Survey services included preparation of an existing conditions Property and Topographic Survey of the 7.5 acre site as well as a Zoning Location Survey depicting the proposed improvements. Engineering services included preparation Site Engineering Plans depicting the design of site grading, drainage, paving, utilities and erosion controls. We also provide site planning services relative to the parking lot reconfiguration, truck articulation, etc. We provided services associated with obtaining approvals from the local Planning and Zoning & Inland Wetlands Commissions. Finally, we provided minor engineering and survey services during construction.
National Audubon Society – Greenwich
The Audubon Center in Greenwich opened in 1942 and is the National Audubon Society’s first environmental education center. The reconstruction of the Nature Education Center on 287 acres included improvements to site infrastructure, parking, and drives in a manner that protected this sensitive site and showcased low impact development techniques to reduce the project footprint and potential impacts on stormwater runoff. Redniss & Mead’s design responsibilities included: several septic systems; restoration of Indian Spring Pond; conventional and grassed parking; stormwater management collection and conveyance systems for quantity control and quality mitigation including a water quality outlet, water quality swale, and stormwater pond; and sediment and erosion control plans and construction monitoring. The project required approvals from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency, and Army Corps of Engineers.
Westport Library
Addition to existing Westport Library Building and associated site work to library building. Surveying services included preparation of “as-built” Improvement Location Survey upon completion of construction. Engineering services included preparation of site development plans depicting the design of site grading, drainage, utilities and erosion controls. Services included coordination with design team and ownership as well as with relevant town land use officials. Services also included conducting soil test pies and percolation tests in support of anticipated, proposed stormwater infiltration facilities. Consulting services included support of project attorney in filing applications and attendance at public meetings/hearings to present elements of the site design and/or co answer commission members’ questions as they related to the proposed site work.
Cos Cob Library
This library is situated in a floodplain and a Coastal Zone. A Flood Impact Study was required along with Site Engineering services. Permit processing assistance was provided for Wetlands and Zoning permits. The project shares a municipal parking lot with the Cos Cob Firehouse. The parking lot was designed to serve both uses as well as public parking.
First Presbyterian Church
Renovation of an existing church on a 1 acre site in the Town of Greenwich business district. Design responsibilities include: grading, drainage, utilities, underground utility coordination, paving, and sediment and erosion controls. Quality control during construction and as-built certification was performed.
Noroton Presbyterian Church
We provides land surveying and site civil engineering services for a significant modernization project for the church including additions and site work. The comprehensive redesign of the ten-acre site improves safety and traffic flow, beautifies the parking areas and landscaping, and increases available playground space in a more secure location. We were also an integral part of the approval team, leveraging our local experience during the approval process and communications with neighbors. Designing a stormwater collection, conveyance, and mitigation system was critical to the regulatory approval.
