Swinerton performed preconstruction, MEP design services, and construction for this critical expansion project. The project included renovating (3) existing cleanrooms to ISO 8 specifications with 25 air exchanges per hour, a quality control testing lab, packing rooms, warehouse high pile storage, and manufacturing equipment installation. Due to the global pandemic, this project was classified as a critical emergency response project with COPAN Diagnostics and the City of Carlsbad Building Officials.

The project team was tasked with a critical fast-track design and construction schedule. The aggressive schedule and commitment from COPAN Diagnostics to manufacture one million test kits by the first week of July required the design, permitting, and construction to be complete concurrently within four weeks from Notice to Proceed which allows COPAN Diagnostics two weeks to ramp up the factory prior to full production.

COPAN Diagnostics is an FDA-certified manufacturer of medical devices. The COPAN Diagnostics Carlsbad Manufacturing Facility provides cGMP manufacturing capabilities and Copan operates under a Quality Management System (QMS) and Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations which are enforced by the FDA.

Located in Tigard, 20 minutes from downtown Portland, The Partners Group moved across the street to expand and update its 30-year-old brand to a Pacific Northwest lodge concept space. The 33,000-square-foot office encompasses two floors with open workspaces, private offices, breakout conference rooms, a game/lounge room, and a concept living room area adjacent to the board room, which can transform into a large entertaining space.

Brought on board early as a partner as the CM/GC for preconstruction services, the team established the budget through several rounds of value engineering and the schedule commenced for demolition. Swinerton self-performed the demolition and led the coordination of MEPF design-build trades. The tenant build-out included casework in break room and gathering areas; walnut slab island millwork in the cafe eating area; a reception desk with wood feature walls; wall finishes; dropped ceiling tile and hardlid ceilings; a Hufcor demountable wall system; and specialty fixtures—pendant and “antler-concept” suspended linear light fixtures.

The new Campbell Global office space sits on the 32^nd floor in the Wells Fargo Tower. Campbell Global, a timber investment company, wanted to showcase multiple wood elements throughout the office to highlight their business. GBD Architects captured this idea in a beautiful design, creating a unique and high end space for Campbell Global. The main wood elements featured within the project are the CLT panel ceiling clouds, furnished and installed by Swinerton Mass Timber. Mass Timber played an integral role by bringing their knowledge & expertise of CLT to the unique feature element. The Swinerton self-perform Drywall team was also a key contributor. Collaboration between the management and drywall teams early on resolved a majority of the site questions & layout issues resulting in increased efficiencies and smooth project flow.

Swinerton provided general contracting services for the tenant improvement of Echo Lounge, a 35-year-old industrial building. The scope of the project included interior demolition of all partitions and systems and structural demolition of the floors to create a depression for the dance floor. To construct a double-height space for the music hall, the project team strengthened the existing structure and added an elevator for vertical transportation. The newly renovated entertainment venue provides an intimate, yet high-end space for concert goers. Along with typical amenities, patrons also have access to a new outdoor deck with a full bar.

Since this project required complex structural demolition, the team utilized laser scanning and VDC technology to model the MEP and structural systems. Being that the building is over 35-years-old, modeling the structure provided additional assurance that the as-built information was accurate.

This 55,000-square-foot project was a demolition and rebuild of office space inside an existing warehouse, with part of the warehouse converted into an R&D manufacturing facility. The space remained occupied throughout the nine-month construction duration. The work scope included demolition of all finishes and mechanical MEP items in the base building and the replacement of five units of rooftop mechanical equipment and an HVAC. Heavy coordination was critical for the team to access the main electric room through the telecom and fire optic rooms.The project also has a 15,000-square-foot mezzanine structure with an open office, meeting rooms, restrooms, kitchenette, elevator, and MDF rooms on the second floor. The first floor contains the reception area, bike/shower rooms, future space for office expansion, and large warehouse space, including a motion capture system. To complete inspections, the team also had to ensure the existing fire alarm systems were within compliance in the other tenant spaces to complete inspections successfully.

Swinerton completed the tenant improvement of UBS’s 24,000-square-foot Wealth Management office on the 7th and 10th floor. The improvement consisted of demolition of the existing spaces back to the structure, followed by a build-out of open-office space, offices, conference rooms, and equipment rooms. Amenity spaces include pantries with banquettes, coffee bars, a mailroom, and a powder room. Numerous high-end finishes are used throughout the space including wood veneer walls, solid surface wall panels with CNC logos, fabric wall panels and ceiling, glass partitions throughout, and large format 5’x5’ custom floor tile.

Swinerton provided general contracting services for the Tiffany & Co. flagship location at Legacy West Shopping Center. The project scope consisted of custom fabricated stainless steel security window frames, display vitrines and entry doors, laminated low iron security glass, etched blue “wheat leaf” glass panels over 15’ tall, curved vestibule security glass, and all brushed and polished stainless steel framing and trims.

Plano Texas was selected as a flagship location due to the rapid population growth in North Texas. Tiffany & Co. stands out in Legacy West as the only luxury jeweler in the area. Surrounded by a glass facade that shows the sparkling diamonds inside, the store is lit with natural light and filled with display cases showing off Tiffany’s latest designs.
