Lee Kennedy Co. is performing preconstruction and construction management services for the conversion of the Mount Anthony Middle School into an assisted living facility with a space for a community recreation and health center. Preconstruction services will entail program review and the development of schedule, budget and logistics. The 100,000 sf project is comprised of a historic building and multiple additions. Preconstruction services include advice on design and construction issues (HTC Part II) for compliance with Federal Historic Tax Credits. Historic window restoration and façade repair will be an intricate element of the work to take place. Multiple floor levels exist between the two portions of the building, thus requiring extensive planning in order to accommodate the ADA needs of the building. A moderate amount of demolition is required in order to construct a new porte-cochere, and a more appealing residential style entry adjoining a new south facing porch, a design which will allow easy building access and a great gathering space for residents.

In addition to the 85 units of assisted living for the frail elderly, we will be constructing a community recreation and health facility of about 10,000 sf of space for use by the local community. This will help support the objective of making this unique Vermont assisted living facility an inter-generational asset.
