17MORRIS PARKING GARAGE | PROJECT #125-065 <br />CONTRACT METHOD <br />Construction Manager as Constructor <br />(CMc) <br />PROJECT SIZE <br />340,000 SF <br />CONSTRUCTION COST <br />$35,000,000 <br />COMPLETION DATE <br />May 2021 <br />PROJECT SIMILARITIES <br />Public CMc Delivery <br />In response to a significant flood event that inundated the town, increased <br />vulnerability from escalating climate change events, and an aspiration for <br />recognition as a design-forward town, the City of Westfield, Indiana, has overlaid <br />strategic infrastructure with communal purpose to create a socially-purposeful, <br />environmentally-resilient, and inclusive park focused on human engagement. A <br />new park was created for the citizens of Westfield and their friends around which <br />downtown development will grow. <br />The Wilhelm design team worked with the Army Corps of Engineers, Indiana <br />Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and the Hamilton County <br />Drainage Board on the remediation of the stream central to the site and to tie it <br />into the regional stormwater mitigation system. This critical work allowed for the <br />design of the park to incorporate access to the Grassy Branch Creek once more— <br />an opportunity lost in Westfield’s history but something for which the City was once <br />known. <br />The Grand Junction Plaza consists of several unique and accessible areas: an <br />amphitheater and gathering place for festivals, concerts and special events; a café; <br />jet fountain; an ice-skating rink (winter); a hardscape festival boulevard; and a one- <br />of-a-kind playground and nature area for recreation and relaxation. <br />GRAND JUNCTION PLAZA <br />CITY OF WESTFIELD | WESTFIELD, IN <br />3.
