Children's Center for the Physically Disabled
The Children’s Center underwent the construction of a new 14,000 square-foot addition and renovations to 3,000 square feet of existing space. The addition and renovations added much needed classroom space to meet the special need for the physically handicapped children that attend the Center. The addition featured a physical therapy room as well as a multi purpose activities room. Complex masonry details and student safety and access during construction were a few of the challenges that were involved in this project.

| I am pleased in looking back over my 22 years at Wake Forest to see how important Frank L. Blum Construction Company has been for us. Whenever the job is especially difficult and time intensive, both I and my Director of Facilities, Bill Sides, turn to your firm.
Examples of your excellent work abound; the gatehouses which protect the campus at night, which were done on an extremely tight time schedule; Kirby Wing of Calloway Center, perhaps our most beautiful new space; and the new and renovated Pit, which was delivered 2 1/2 weeks early and under budget. The amount your firm saved us on the Kirby Wing was sufficient to finish all of the planned-to-be-vacant space in the basement! Of course, your signature building is the Mary and Charlie Babcock Wing at Reynolda House, a superb structure built on schedule and on budget. It is a magnificant addition to the museum.
You and your people have exhibited the kind of professional, competent, and helpful spirit a client would want. I can and do recommend you most highly and without reservation. |
