Fueling Station, Truck Wash & Office Renovation

Kraemer Brothers’ relationship with foodservice giant, Sysco, started in 1988 with a freezer addition and subsequent warehouse and cooler space soon after. In 2008 Sysco brought Kraemer Brothers back in to reconstruct a 57,500 square foot warehouse after a snow load collapsed the room. Our most recent project started in 2019, when Sysco needed a 12,600 square foot remodel of existing meeting rooms. Consisting of two meeting rooms, storage space, and restrooms, the new floorplan adds functionality to an existing open space. One conference room can be subdivided into four meeting rooms that utilizes folding room partitions. In Sysco’s maintenance facility, a phased project for a fuel island and wash bay started. The first phase consisted of constructing a new fueling station double the size of the original. This 3,500 square foot station accommodates two trucks and includes above ground tanks. Phase two removed the original fuel island and built a 6,800 square foot truck wash facility in its place, including two manual wash bays and one automatic drive-through wash.

ER Addition & Renovations

ER ADDITION

The Gundersen Boscobel Area Hospital expanded its facility with a 11,700 square-foot addition allowing for expanded emergency services, including new exam rooms, a special decontamination room, a double ambulance garage, new helicopter pad, centralized entrance and registration area, and a holding cell for patients from Supermax. Another significant enhancement included the renovation of the facility’s mechanical rooms and two new boilers.

RENOVATIONS

Our most recent projects for Gundersen Health System consisted of remodeling the corridors and renovating the nurses’ station, a 5,300 square foot project. Bringing in our experience finish carpenters, we installed new flooring, walls, and ceiling, as well as applying new casework and cabinetry at the nurses’ station, repurposing the area to meet the hospital’s needs. While needing to keep the hospital operational, Kraemer Brothers crews worked closely with the hospital staff to plan the work. Preventing excess construction dust and contamination in the hospital, we added temporary partition walls with negative air pressure, keeping the outside areas clean. Soon after the renovation project finished, Gundersen Health System selected Kraemer Brothers to renovate two existing rooms into one 1,000 square foot infusion service suite with 5 new bays, a cleansing room, and an office. These projects have helped the hospital expand their services and provide an inviting atmosphere to patients.

Lab Renovation

When German-owned Bruker AXS, a manufacturer of analytical x-ray systems, wanted to build a new manufacturing plant and office facility in the Promega Research Park in 1999, they selected Kraemer Brothers to provide both the design and construction of their new facility. The 46,000 square foot facility has 18,000 square feet of a high-bay manufacturing area, which is outfitted with a white reflective floor surface, requiring very precise finishing on the part of Kraemer Brothers’ cement finishers. The balance of the space consists of offices and research labs for the growing company. The building layout was developed to reflect optimal workflow patterns to create a pleasant work environment throughout both the office and manufacturing spaces. Bruker AXS selected us again for their interior renovations in 2019, which consisted of converting 11,000 square feet into new lab space, allowing Bruker AXS to consolidate the operations of multiple divisions of the company into one building. Bruker AXS was able to remain fully operational during our renovation activities that required creating laser safe labs for the company’s operations.

UW HEALTH CARE DIRECT

Renovation & Addition

Our client was selected by UW Health Care Direct (formerly Chartwell Midwest Wisconsin) to convert an existing two story, secondary education building to their new company headquarters. Renovations to the site, building envelope and exterior cladding, as well as attractive interior renovations helped repurpose the existing portion of the building, creating offices, conference rooms, break rooms, lounges, training rooms, and bays for infusion services. The addition we constructed allowed Chartwell to improve their overall workflow by adding new cleanroom facilities to replace their outdated labs and equipment, meeting current standards for sterile compounding by pharmacies and providing needed space for future growth. Also included in the addition was loading docks, a shipping/receiving area, and a large warehouse for storing pharmaceutical contents and supplies. A cleanroom protocol program was implemented during this project which all Kraemer Brothers employees and subcontractors were required to follow, including always wearing booties and gown attire in the pharmacy and cleanroom. The facility now has state-of-the-art equipment to monitor airflow, temperature, and humidity, along with technology such as cameras in each clean room allowing observation of pharmacy technician work.

From the Client

Our clean rooms allow Chartwell to have full confidence in the integrity of our pharmacy compounding environment. Not only did Kraemer Brothers provide for our best-in-class facility, they did so on time and under budget. In fact, the project was so well managed, we were able to move personnel into the building several months ahead of schedule.

RICHLAND HOSPITAL

Healthcare Clinic Renovations

We are renovating 4,200 square feet of the existing space at Richland Hospital to accommodate the new USP Pharmacy regulations involving handling of hazardous drugs, new requirements for air changes and hoods in chemotherapy mixing rooms, and dramatically more stringent regulations for the handling and storage of all drugs in general. Phases 1 and 2 were completed in August 2019, and involved conversion of the existing space into the new Central Supply. The space vacated by the old Central Supply is being converted into the first portion of the new Pharmacy in Phase 3.

The new Pharmacy will be more than double in size of their existing one. Final completion will be in April 2020. Kraemer Brothers brought a hospital-savvy team to this project combining decades of hospital renovation experience. That level of expertise was needed to overcome the scheduling and phasing challenges in keeping an operating pharmacy in business 24-7 with construction occurring all around.

Lab Renovations

Originally built by Kraemer Brothers in 1992, Promega’s BioPharmaceutical Technology Center (BTC) has undergone many renovations in the past 6 years. The Custom Dispensing ECR project, a renovation of over 48,400 square feet, included updates to mechanical, storage, shipping, mezzanine space, and clean room areas. In addition to many lab renovations, Promega selected Kraemer Brothers to complete a kitchen remodel, new workout facility, locker rooms, replacement storefront windows, and a redesigned entry to give a modern facelift to the adjoining office space. Completing Phase IIB, this renovation work included upgrading original labs to Controlled-Not-Classified (CNC), ISO-7, and ISO-8 clean rooms, used to support Oligo Synthesis processes. Our last phased work, Phase IIC, consisted of office space, and ISO-7 and ISO-8 clean rooms, used for manufacturing and quality control operations. Pressurized doors are used throughout the labs for safety and biocontainment purposes along with sophisticated ventilation and high filtration systems to meet ISO criteria. By completing all these building projects in phases, Promega was able to stay operational during the demolition and construction work.

Catholic Church Addition

Construction of this 12,000 square foot addition to the historic St. Clare of Assisi church in Monroe, WI took a high-level of masonry expertise to match the brick and stonework exterior of the original church, which was built in 1892 from native limestone. The new space includes a gathering area, accessible restrooms, a kitchenette, multipurpose rooms, staff offices, meeting rooms, and a covered entry portico with room for multiple car drop-offs. Exposed wooden beams, decorative pendant lighting, large glass windows, and acoustical wall panels can be found inside the church’s gathering space. The basement features an expanded fellowship hall, youth ministry meeting spaces, classrooms with partition dividers, and a kitchen addition. Keeping the historic significance of the church, existing stained-glass windows were preserved and modified as part of the connection to the new addition. The exterior also consists of ornate masonry designs, decorative pinnacles, and white flashing, all which resemble elements from the existing church. This was also the first church in the Diocese to incorporate initiatives to improve accessibility. With both weekday and weekend activities, the construction schedule was unique and built around keeping services at their normal dates and times.

SPRINGHILL SUITES

Hotel

The Springhill Suites by Marriott project is located in the heart of the well-established Hilldale neighborhood in Madison, WI. This mixed-use development is a 12-story structure, containing 182 guest rooms, single floor office plan, and two levels of parking. The building has a stunning exterior façade including brick, metal panel, glass/aluminum curtain wall and EIFS. The building interior has high quality modern finishes and featured amenities including: lobby bar and lounge, exercise and pool facilities, multiple meeting spaces, and heated parking.

As an urban infill project, the site poses numerous challenges due to the proximity of adjacent buildings and steep grades. The building encompasses nearly the entire site, so placement of equipment and materials is complex and requires careful staging and planning.

An example of groundbreaking technology that Kraemer Brothers has employed on this project is the CorTek™ System. This system has allowed us to prefabricate stair towers and elevator shafts off-site, again resulting in a more efficient process and higher quality control.

From the Client

Congratulations to Kraemer Brothers for building another outstanding Marriott Hotel in the Raymond Management portfolio. Springhill Suites was built and delivered within our schedule and budget. The hotel quality and attention to detail was delivered to the highest standard. Hotel openings are a challenging process.
