637 West Avenue

A 1955 historic Norwalk bank building at 637 West Avenue was adaptively reused and transformed into a new state-of-the-art healthcare facility while also accommodating a revamped bank branch office. R&M provided planning, surveying, and engineering services for this project, which required land use entitlement approvals and coordination with the Department of Public Works and the Norwalk Redevelopment Agency. This successful project demonstrates the feasibility of transforming existing historic structures into ones with modern functionality.

Stamford Health

We were on the team that facilitated a property swap between Stamford Hospital and Charter Oak Communities to make two developments a reality. As part of the swap, Stamford Hospital gained a portion of the Vidal Court property for the hospital’s new campus expansion including a new healthcare pavilion. We provided planning, civil engineering and land surveying services which translated to fluency in applications for Master Plan changes, Zone changes, Text changes, Site Plan approvals, and the discontinuance of City Streets. Construction logistics were critical to the design allowing the hospital to stay fully operational during the campus and facility improvements. The project is registered with the U.S. Green Building Council under the LEED® rating system and is incorporating strategies from the Green Guide for Health Care. The Charter Oak Communities revitalization of Vidal Court includes a replacement of the existing 216 units and an increase in the total number of units to 350 on multiple sites.

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.

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.
