Lumina Hospice and Palliative Care

Lumina, formerly Benton Hospice House, needed new administrative headquarters to conduct operations. Gerding worked with Lumina in the early phases to identify potential properties and conduct value assessments to help determine the most cost-effective property. While the chosen property in downtown Corvallis was unoccupied, the site was located near other operational businesses, heavy traffic and residential areas. Careful planning and coordination were necessary to maintain safety for works, neighbors and public. Construction involved interior demolition and remodel of an existing 10,000 sf two story building. Work included HVAC, plumbing, electrical, structural upgrades, new partition walls, elevator, removal and replacement of siding, enclosing west staircase, gypsum board, insulation, paint, flooring, and acoustic ceilings. The interior of the building was reconfigured to meet their needs, including offices, conference rooms, staff break room, counseling, and supply rooms, along with a lobby and upgraded IT and mechanical systems were utilized throughout.
