The Mitchell Group: Design/Build

NEWS

Design is underway for a new facility for North Seneca Ambulance Corps. North Seneca Ambulance's new base will be located in the village of Waterloo, New York and will feature many ecologically friendly systems and components. The entire facility will be heated and cooled using a geothermal water source heat pump system. This system generates the energy for heating and cooling from the Earth's ground temperature instead of burning fossil fuels. The facility will also feature a photovoltaic (solar) array to generate the electricity this facility requires to operate during the day instead of pulling power from the grid. High efficiency window glazing, lighting, and occupancy controlled switching are additional “green” features included in the project. This project can serve as an example of energy efficiency and ecologically conscious building practices for emergency facilities. This is a preliminary rendering of the project.

Also in design is a classroom and visitor center for Seneca Meadows Landfill. This building will provide space for educational programs sponsored by the landfill and local schools as well as a display area to feature models and graphics of technology currently employed at the facility as well as plans for the future. The building design will likely feature a glass curtain-walled atrium space and cedar log siding. Also being explored is the possibility of using recycled tire chips generated and used in the landfill process as an alternative to imported material for the sanitary septic system. Below is a preliminary rendering.

Victor Self Storage, located on 200 School Street in Victor, New York is currently in its second phase of construction. The first phase was completed in December of 2005 and has been welcomed to the community with enthusiasm. The business has been a success and continues to grow to meet demand.

When complete, the self storage facility will contain six buildings in all with 370 units ranging in size from 5’X10’ to 12’ X30.’ A retail area is available for the purchase of boxes, tapes, and cutters. The complex is a state-of-the art facility with almost 30% of its non-combustible storage space climate controlled for temperature and humidity. The property is fully fenced with an access control gate and monitored by video cameras around the clock.

Construction features the steel pre-engineered Star Building System with a synthetic stucco exterior and seam metal roofing. Its curbside appeal is enhanced by arch top windows and landscaping. Check out photos of this and other projects on our Project Showcase page.
