VA Durham: CLC Hospice Renovation

Apogee was the prime contractor for this project that provided complete mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) engineering services and construction management. The project involved renovating the existing building into patient lounges, activity spaces, a kitchen and dining room, and a 10-bed hospice addition with all ancillary support functions.

The design of a courtyard was incorporated to provide a better outdoor space, which included a covered patio and exterior lighting.
