Providence St. Vincent-The Wyatt earn top construction honors

Hospital, condo projects nab construction honors
Portland Business Journal

A hospital expansion and a condominium project that became an apartment project were Oregon's best construction projects of 2007, according to Northwest Construction magazine.

The magazine details its 2007 winners in its December edition.

Top honors were shared by Providence Health System and developers of The Wyatt residential project in the Pearl District.

Providence and its contractor, Andersen Construction, were honored for the $34 million St. Vincent East Tower expansion project, designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership and engineered by KPFF.

The Wyatt, developed by Robert Ball, is a 244-unit residential project originally designed as a condominium project. When that failed, it was retooled as an apartment building. Partners include Andersen Construction and Fletcher Farr Ayotte architects.

Other winners were:

* Widmer Brothers Brewery and its contractor LGC Pence Construction LLC won honors for Oregon's best industrial project for a 66,000-square-foot renovation and expansion project in Portland. The architect is Mark Garvey.
* The University of Oregon's Living Learning Center, designed by Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership, won best architectural project. The center mixes both residential and classroom space. John Hyland Construction Inc. of Eugene was the general contractor.
* Hewlett-Packard's $10.8 million seismic upgrade to its 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Corvallis was the magazine's best mechanical project. IDC of Portland was the architect. Andersen Construction was the general contractor.
* Best landscaping honors went to the new La Grande campus of Oregon Dental Services, developed in partnership with the city of La Grande. Otak Inc. of Lake Oswego was the engineer. Perlo McCormack Pacific was the general contractor.
* The Interstate 84 Pleasant Valley interchange, constructed by Wildish Standard Paving Co. of Eugene was the year's best transportation project. The complex project replaced two old spans with new ones. The section crosses local county roads, a Union Pacific Railroad line and Alder Creek. The Oregon Department of Transportation is the owner.
