Chanen’s recent success of such a project was converting an existing office building into Claremont Lincoln University. We also completed many such projects on the campuses of both Midwestern University Downers Grove, Illinois, and the University of North Carolina 16-campuses.

Sky Harbor International Airport
Arizona Air National Guard
Phoenix, Arizona
A Chanen joint venture was chosen to be the construction manager for the 161st Aerial Refueling Wing of the Air National Guard facility as a part of the construction of a third runway for Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Since the current facility is in the path of the new runway, it was necessary to relocate the ANG. The project involves the construction of 16 separate buildings including a steel aircraft maintenance hangar and approximately $21 million in general site work. Building, site and utility demolition; construction of apron and connecting taxiways and utilities are also part of this portion of the project.
Major project architects/engineers include: The Benham Group, Lawrence Enyart Architects, Argus Consulting, Ganos Associates Architects, Smith Group, ADM Group, Harding Lawson Associates, Schneider Gadbery Shay + Partners Architects, Parsons Brinkerhoff Quade Douglas, and Cullen/Burr/Transystems.- ClientCITY OF PHOENIX AVIATION DEPARTMENT

Chanen was retained by ICI Americas inc. to construct an $8.8 million office complex at the Arizona State University Research Park, Tempe, Arizona.
The first phase involved the renovation of a three-story office/laboratory facility on five acres and all tenant improvements. The entire mechanical and electrical systems were replaced and 22,000 sq. ft. of laboratory space as well as 19,000 sq. ft. of office space were constructed. The entire ground floor concrete slab was replaced and the window wall was moved out to provide 14 percent more interior space for high technology equipment.
The first phase remained in operation while during the second phase a new two-story facility was constructed. The project also included all user improvements for laboratory, prototype process/manufacturing space and office spaces. In addition, an extensive amount of process piping runs throughout the building to support both equipment and explosion-proof hazardous occupancy areas.
Occupancy had to be completed several days at a time, requiring very precise coordination. By adhering to a very aggressive fast-track schedule, the project was completed within six months.- ClientSierra Health Services
