Our Experience
 

Lawrence Upper School

Lawrence Upper School

This project involved Owner’s Representation for the construction of a new 65,000 sf state-of-the-art educational facility located on a 50 acre wooded campus. The new private upper school will serve gifted children with learning disabilities for grades 7 through 12.

Architectural design for the school was completed by Strollo Architects of Youngstown, Ohio and constructed by Ruhlin Construction Co. of Akron.

 

Ursuline College Residence Hall

Ursuline College Residence Hall

The three-story residence hall compliments the traditional architecture of other campus buildings and houses 72 students. The 31,000 square foot facility includes 18 suites that contain four bedrooms each, a shared living space, kitchenette and bathroom. It also houses a resident and graduate assistant suite as well as shared space for gathering.

 

Willoughby Courthouse

Willoughby Courthouse

The City of Willoughby hired Mark Horton and CT Consultants to guide them through the design-build process for development of their new municipal courthouse. The result is an impressive facility that blends well into the architecture of the historic downtown district.

The Willoughby Municipal Courthouse was presented with the Honorable Mention Award in 2006 from the DBIA Ohio Valley Chapter for the category of Public Sector Buildings under $15 million.

 

Hiram College Athletic Fieldhouse

Hiram College Athletic Fieldhouse

CT managed this project from “cradle to grave” for Hiram College. The result is a modern student sports center with a cardio theater, running tracks, field house, meeting spaces, and competition floors. This facility rings in a new era for Hiram College.

 

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport

Cleveland Hopkins International Airport

This project involves serving as Cleveland City Council’s representative to the 5-year, $1.45 Billion expansion of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. This Project - with its nearly 150 subprojects — will create a new era for air travel in Northeast Ohio.

This project requires monitoring three areas that are most critical to the Council: schedule, budget and EEO compliance. We report directly to Council leadership on Project status and workforce diversity — including a reporting role on legislative oversight and policy initiatives.

Proprietary software and information systems were developed - permitting real-time interaction with Cleveland’s Dept. of Port Control on the developments that are in various phases of programming, planning and construction.

Three subprojects are currently in various stages of completion : the City’s Residential Sound Insulation Program, involving a total of over 4,000 homes at a cost of over $100 million; construction of the new $50 million CHIA Parking Garage; and, the $150 million Continental Airlines Expansion — including its new Concourse D required for CAL’s hub operation for state-of-the-art regional-jet service.

 

Cleveland Foodbank

Cleveland Foodbank

The Cleveland Foodbank needed a consultant to act as their project manager responsible for the selection of a design-build firm to construct a state-of-the-art office/warehouse/distribution center. The project was funded through private donations and constructed on a Brownfield site. In addition, the facility is the first building in Cleveland to earn the LEEDS Green Design Certification.

 

The Lodge & Conference Center at Geneva State Park

The Lodge & Conference Center
at Geneva State Park

Mark Horton and CT Consultants served as Owner's Representative to the Ashtabula County Commissioners for the new $16.7 million Geneva State Park Lodge and Conference Center, the first public facility design-build project in the State of Ohio. Special legislation was passed by the state legislature to allow this project to be bid design-build in order to fast track the construction of this facility.

The approximate 12 acre site sits on the shores of Lake Erie on the westerly boundary of the City of Geneva in Ashtabula County. The facility includes a 110 room lodge, conference facilities, swimming pool, restaurant, parking and walking trails around the grounds on a beautiful park setting.

 

Summa Centers for Excellence

Summa Centers for Excellence

The role of Project Manager for this important project for Summa Health System needed to identify the developer in a nation-wide search, securing financing, and monitoring design and construction. The facility houses Summa’s Cardio/Pulmonary Center, Women’s Health, and physician offices.

 

The Pilla Student Learning Center

The Pilla Student Learning Center

The Pilla Student Learning Center is a new focal point for the campus and adds modern grace with its lighted tower, stained glass windows, and state-of-the-art physical spaces. In addition to having advanced classrooms, a nursing technology lab, and a lecture hall equipped with distance learning and videoconferencing capabilities, the Pilla Student Learning Center also includes UCAP offices, the bookstore, and the 1871 Grille.
