It's a Girl!!

On October 25, officials in New Castle County Delaware dedicated their new public safety building in honor of the late Cpl. Paul J. Sweeney, the only New Castle County police officer to die on-duty.

The state-of-the-art facility is 130,000 square feet and is expected to receive LEED Silver Certification. This is the largest capital project ever undertaken by the County. Remington Group is providing full oversight of the construction, voice and data cabling, 9-1-1 technology and equipment acquisition, furniture acquisition, security, audio-visual, move management, and demolition.

Prior to the dedication, Remington Group successfully delivered one of the most critical aspects of this project – the seamless transition of 9-1-1 service. Not a single 9-1-1 call was missed during the changeover and first responders noted that things went so smoothly they were not even aware anything had happened. In addition, we have itemized $4.4 million in cost savings to date.

Montgomery School officially opens W. Perry Gresh Academic Center

On September 14, the Montgomery School, an independent, co-educational day school in Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, held a ribbon cutting ceremony to dedicate their new Library and Educational Building - the W. Perry Gresh Academic Center.

Remington Group served as the School’s Project Manager for the construction of this 15,420 square foot, two story educational building consisting of a library, computer room and two classrooms. Remington Group selected and oversaw the general contractor, voice and data cabling contractor, and furniture vendor; prepared all necessary schedules and cost reports; and provided document review and value engineering services. We also helped the School manage the many financial and material donations they received for the project.

Remington Group completed the building on-time and more than $75,000 under budget. This allowed us to help the School renovate two other areas creating a new locker room, two offices, a music room and a music lab.

Remington Group to manage Housing Renewal Initiative for West Chester University

West Chester University has engaged Remington Group to manage the replacement of all of their aging dormitories with modern, spacious student housing facilities designed to meet the demands of students today and in the future.

The effort, called the Housing Renewal Initiative (HRI), includes razing existing dormitories and replacing them with six new buildings over a six year period. The three-phase project is scheduled for completion in the fall of 2012. Remington Group will assist with contractor selection, negotiations, and oversight; budget and schedule analysis and control; document review; value engineering; and design and construction oversight.

Earlier in this effort, Remington Group developed a scope, budget and phasing plan that successfully overcame one of the biggest challenges faced by the University - to cost effectively maintain their 3000+ bed capacity throughout the life of the project.
