Scope Of Work
AMHigley served as Construction Manager at Risk for Oberlin College’s Peter B. Lewis Hotel at Oberlin. The $30 million, four-story, 104,000 SF Gateway Center houses the college’s admissions department, other offices, a flexible learning space called the OC Studio, a restaurant/bar, basement-level night club and 11,000 SF of ground-level retail. The project’s 70-room hotel and conference center are one of only five hotels in the country to receive LEED-Platinum certification.
PROJECT ACHIEVEMENTS
Construction occurred adjacent to the operating Oberlin Inn that AMHigley constructed in 1950
This is the 10th project awarded to our firm by Oberlin College since 1946.
Successful coordination of union and non-union subcontractors.
Operating off-shift and weekend hours to accelerate schedule, due to scope changes.
With limited supply storage space, we employed a just-in-time delivery approach so that all required building materials arrive within the week contractors install or employed them
The project was awarded ENR Midwest’s Green Project Award of Merit in 2017
