R.C. MacGillivray Guest Home - Facility Upgrade

completed

The project consists of 3 components: 1) replacement of windows throughout the facility; 2) replacement of the front ramp which is attached to the facility’s entrance doors; and 3) the removal and replacement of asbestos tile. Rationale: 1) The existing 127 windows leak causing flooding and mould. Water on the floor is a slip/fall hazard and mould is also a concern. In addition, the new windows will reduce energy costs; 2) The current ramp is original to the facility and is very steep and dangerous. The new ramp will be to code; and 3) The asbestos tile in three emergency exists stairwells as well as 10 resident room need to be replaced for environmental and health concerns. Asbestos abatement will be included and be carried out under Type III Asbestos Abatement Operations. Follow up air quality test and reports overseen by asbestos removal professionals.
