James J Peters VA Medical Center, Bronx NY

Holihan Associates is providing architectural and engineering services  to replace the exterior windows for Building 100 at the James J. Peters  VAMC, Bronx, NY. Design replaces exterior windows on the front of the  main VAMC multi-story building. Scope includes 12 different sized  windows with 751 windows total to be replaced. The design includes an  innovative "Window Book" document for the VA's use listing each window,  by room, floor and wing location as well as size and type for ease of  reference. 

The design included  specific provisions to improve both the quality and ease of  installation. The contractor is required to build a mock up installation  to be tested for compliance to Specifications and approved by the A/E  prior to commencing work. Installation will be done from the exterior of  the building to ensure the air and water tightness and also minimize  infectious disease risk.

​

The  purpose of this project is to create a new energy efficient, green  initiative and LEED atmosphere within the VAMC. The replacement of  windows will provide an all-energy efficient and environmental concept  and will include a collaborative design that is aesthetically pleasing,  energy efficient, cost effective and comprehensive. 

​

The  team is working closely with the VA staff to ensure all of the  facilities needs are being met. BESI is providing all survey and design  analysis working drawings, construction specifications, cost estimates,  as-built drawings, and phasing as necessary. CHA provided the HazMat  survey.

Design Cost: $496,879.80/Estimated Construction Cost: $5,263,228
