Saint John’s on the Lake consists of about 422,000 square feet of new construction and interior renovations. The first of its two phases entailed the construction of a 22-story tower with 2-1/2 levels of underground parking, a commons and residential accommodations on the first floor, skilled-nursing services on the second and third floors, assisted-living services on the fourth floor, hybrid-assisted-living services on the fifth and mechanical spaces on the sixth. There are 79 independent living units on floors seven through 22.

The second phase involved the demolition and reconstruction of the existing three-story Health Services Building, the addition of an entrance to the existing North Tower and a new auditorium, and various renovations throughout the first floor. This phase consisted of the demolition and reconstruction of a 75,000-square-foot, fully cast-in-place four-story building adjacent to the Phase 2 North Tower Expansion project. This building was linked to a previously built 10-story building that itself was connected with the existing campus. The majority of this phase involved extending the floor plates of the already completed assisted-living floors.

There were two big obstacles to overcome. The first was the project’s proximity to the other buildings. Then the pandemic brought about a host of difficulties related to maintaining safety in an occupied senior-living campus. Infection-control measures were taken, requiring twice-weekly COVID tests, daily health screenings and reconfigurations to ensure crews could get to the site without entering occupied parts of the building.
