Pyramid Healthcare

The + was coordinating with PG County Plans Review, PG County and third party inspectors, design professionals and Pyramid Healthcare to identify solutions to build and/or review issues in real time to meet a demanding construction schedule.

KasCon collaborated with Pyramid Healthcare to transform a former day care and school into a 34,000 square foot behavioral health and addiction counseling facility in Mitchellville, MD. As a residential facility, there are sleeping quarters to house a total of 25 with each room outfitted with three beds, a VRF HVAC cooling/heating unit and a private restroom. The project has nine roof top equipment units totaling 44-tons of cooling, a fully-equipped commercial kitchen with dishwashing rooms and new make-up air units, commercial hoods, Ansul fire protection system and a 1000- gallon exterior grease interceptor. The facility is complete with large dining areas that can be divided with new operable partitions, group meeting and counseling spaces as well as a full gym. We are proud to be apart of Pyramid Healthcare’s journey as they expand within the state of Maryland.

Clinical Associates (Multiple Suites)

The + was establishing KasCon as a strategic partner that understood how to best work with the project team and end-user which was essential in meeting an aggressive timeline. 

This occupied renovation project within a multi-tenant medical building in Pikesville, MD took place in phases over a two-year period.  Though each suite represented different challenges, the overall scope involved all new finishes, millwork, doors, MEP upgrades, specialty items, shielding requirements, and medical equipment coordination and connections.  What began as a single-suite, tenant improvement project for the landlord became a lasting relationship with the end-user, resulting in a nine-suite project. With only one swing space out of the nine suites, the project included moving the tenant from one space to another between every phase.  Throughout the relationship, the client relied on KasCon as a strategic business partner and trusted advisor in all areas of construction, planning and execution.

Conrad’s Seafood Restaurant

The + is managing the development of key design elements and details concurrent with construction to meet a  compressed timeline.

KasCon completely renovated the interior of an existing restaurant transforming it into the newest location of Conrad’s Seafood Restaurant – a well-known local seafood chain. This project’s aggressive timeline required concurrent design and build.  The dining room featured custom wood elements, a custom barn with an etched logo as well as a bar area in the shape of waterman’s boat with a laser etched logo in a custom resin top. The project also featured highly polished floors and custom casework for the hostess area and back bar. We leveraged the existing commercial kitchen foundation but expanded it to fit a new crabber steam room complete with hood, boiler for seafood steaming and walk-in cooler. Upon complete of the interior renovations, we gave the exterior building a new face lift by painting the exterior EIFS.

 

Cushwa Brewing Company

The + was working with the end user and design team to adapt the existing floor to meet the operational needs of the client resulting in lower costs and a shorter timeline.  

KasCon collaborated with the Cushwa Brewing Company and Rad Pies to build a new taproom and pizza kitchen in Columbia, MD. This project showcases exposed concrete floors, natural white oak accents, floating cloud ceilings and new light fixtures managed by a new Bluetooth wireless mesh lighting control system. It also features a new stainless-steel beer tap system (up to forty-four beer taps), banquette seating and hand-painted murals to complete the upscale look. KasCon was engaged by the owner to shorten the construction schedule and reduce costs.  The new Cushwa Taproom and Pizza Kitchen will provide a source of food, drink and entertainment for the local community to enjoy for years to come.

University of Maryland – Vascular Surgery Center

The + was supporting a full redesign (design/build) including value engineering, all while keeping the project on schedule. 


KasCon provided all new mechanical, electrical and plumbing as well as base structural slab to this building shell transforming it into a full medical office and exam space with two procedure rooms and post-op areas.  High–end finishes and unique design features were used to elevate the space for University of Maryland – Vascular Surgery Center in Largo, MD.  The project required heavy coordination with third party inspection, building management and utility companies. 

CAO: Potomac Valley Orthopaedic Associates – Columbia (Old Dobbin Ln.)

The + was leveraging past client knowledge from previous projects to deliver on specific client requirements in a seamless and efficient manner.

KasCon’s latest project for The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics was a new 9,000 square foot physical therapy and medical office facility, Potomac Valley Orthopedics, in Columbia, MD.   The project involved merging two former typical office suites into one larger suite outfitting it with a gym, medical office space and examination rooms, and x-ray capabilities. The medical office showcases an inviting reception area, examination rooms and two procedure rooms with lead-lined partitions, doors and windows to allow for x-ray accommodations. In addition to the medical offices, the open gym area where physical therapy takes place, showcases a mixture of painted metal deck ceiling, floating acoustical cloud ceilings, quartz reception desks, seamless flooring, and exposed ductwork. This new facility is a welcome addition to the local community. KasCon has been asked to collaborate on future projects.

Goodwill – The Excel Center

The + was partnering closely with a non-profit organization to successfully navigate a challenging project with a tight schedule.

Goodwill selected KasCon to renovate its turn-of-the-century Baltimore office building into The Excel Center, a high school for adults.  The work was performed on eight floors and included demolition, reconstruction, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and a complete overhaul of finishes throughout.  Work was performed on a tight city site with no staging space and difficult access. An aggressive completion goal and select imported products made for a challenging schedule.

CAO: Bay Area Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine

The + was involving all stakeholders early in the project to avoid any design or construction issues and enable a seamless transition from the previous location to the new one.

This 12,000 sq.ft. project included a complete demo and build-out for a new state-of-the-art orthopaedic and sports medicine center in Hanover, MD. The build-out included three imaging rooms, multiple exam rooms and office space as well as a complete physical therapy space with treatment tables and gym equipment so patients can continue treatment within the same facility.

 

The Butchers Club of Maple Lawn

The + was collaborating with the design team to deliver custom (non-standard) features and high-end finishes while working seamlessly around occupied tenants in a high-traffic retail area.

In this full-space renovation, KasCon transformed a sub shop into a high-end butcher shop and club.  This project included full demolition, a completely new kitchen and equipment, display cases, preparation area, electrical gear, HVAC, plumbing/fixtures, and restrooms. The high-end look required  boutique lighting, custom signage and art, high-end finishes and millwork, as well as custom retail shelving and merchandising areas.

 

MedStar Health: Urgent Care at Ballston

The + was navigating through many scheduling obstacles to open the space on time to service the incoming student body at Marymount University.

This interior fit out project included complete demolition of a 3304 sq. ft. formal café transforming the space into a new, clean and modern urgent care facility with easy access from street level and from the building garage. The space features a  reception/check-in area and waiting room, six private exam rooms, an x-ray room, lab area and new single-use restrooms. The combination of modern finishes (flooring, high ceilings, bright lighting) and accent colors create not only a fresh clean look but a sense of warmth to the space.
