CHILDREN'S WORKSHOP

The Children’s Workshop project consisted of the conversion of a previously existing 2-story office complex into a private school (The Children’s Workshop) specializing in the education of special needs and autistic children.

All previously existing interior improvement within the prior multi-story building was demolished and new improvements include building system upgrades (MPE), classroom facilities featuring one-on-one classrooms, teaching cubes for faculty, independent training center, & occupational therapy space. In addition, the exterior building facade was renovated with new exterior metal awnings, new glazing, & paint. A portion of the parking was converted into an outdoor playground, as well as accessibility upgrades and new hardscape and landscape improvements. Dempsey Construction was engaged by the client at the very initial stages of the project to perform pre-construction services on a design-assist basis. The Dempsey team work collaboratively with the owner and design team on budgeting, scheduling, value engineering, cost analysis, and constructability review during the pre-construction phase.
