XRANM
XRANM is a new 34,057 sq ft multiple-use medical facility to include Mammo, XRAY, CT, MRI, Exam Rooms Offices, Business Area and Waiting Areas. The facility was designed to be visually pleasing with special attention to fixtures, casework, art and finishes. The mechanical system was designed to have redundant systems to provide back up for critical equipment. The project was broken into foundation, shell and TI in efforts to get project procured early while final design of shell and TI was in process. Two separate architects worked on the shell and TI as a collaboration to meet both developer and end user needs. The project was developed and completed 05/11/23 in 14 months to meet milestones of grand opening. Challenges included delay of electrical and mechanical equipment. Enterprise Builders help overcome challenges by substituting mechanical Chiller and AHU manufacturers that could meet project critical path dates. In addition, Enterprise Builders with collaboration of the project team overcame delay in manufacturing of electrical gear by providing smaller temporary panels as temporary measures until the larger specified panels arrived. Preconstruction services was critical for the project to help identify valued savings in cost and time such as the large area of metal panels. Enterprise Builders assisted in finding the panels that fit the clients need for look and colors. We assisted in selecting mechanical equipment that could meet project milestones. Early procurement of underground utilities allowed construction to start on time.

Aspen Community Magnet School
Santa Fe Public Schools Aspen Community Magnet School is a 21st Century Community Learning Center grant recipient, ensuring academic, artistic and cultural opportunities for students who attend high poverty schools to improve their skills in reading, math and science. Enterprise Builders was honored to lead construction that added roughly 14,000sf to the campus and renovated approximately 23,000sf of the existing 1000,000 sf building. The construction occurred in the middle of an occupied and active K-8 campus. The addition included a new kitchen, cafeteria, and a commons and courtyard connecting the existing elementary school to the middle school. Renovations included an updated library, new art room, teaching kitchen, restrooms, concession stand, and connections between the elementary classroom wings and the new building. The existing exterior stairway in the school was temporarily relocated during construction, and Enterprise Builders constructed a temporary corridor leading directly out of the building and away from the construction zone ensuring the safety of all individuals on site. Staff and students immediately enjoyed the renovations and additions, especially the commons where they meet in the mornings before class. The connections built between the elementary classroom wings and the new building provide a more cohesive feel to the campus. The new and renovated spaces now offer a safe and welcoming environment for enriching after-school program activities for families and the community.

Presbyterian Hospital SE Parking Garage
Presbyterian Healthcare Services downtown hospital campus has always had constraints with available parking. As the demand continued to grow for parking, PHS decided to build a new 3 story parking garage that took the place of a outdoor parking lot. The 3 story parking garage provided enough parking to fit 1,200 vehicles. The site was challenging from a logistical standpoint because the footprint of the building encompassed the entire parking lot and Enterprise Builders Corporation had to build right near the limits of construction with a busy campus right adjacent to our construction site. In addition the initial site had to be cut over 20’ on the south half of the footprint and led to an export of approximately 60,000 cubic yards of soil. As if the tight site constraints were not enough to deal with, the project started at the height of the global Covid 19 pandemic. Due to Covid outbreaks the precast concrete supplier had to close their plant multiple times due to outbreaks. This caused a delay in delivering the precast concrete, however, Enterprise Builders Corporation was proactive in assisting the precast concrete supplier with additional labor to help get the project back on track.
The Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe Friary
A simple building on a wind-swept mesa is the new spiritual home and headquarters for The Order of Franciscans, Province of Casa Guadalupe Franciscan Friary, the first European settlers of North America. As the Curia for this Province, this friary houses the Order’s Head Provincial who still administers the religious affairs of this region’s centuries–old Franciscan missions, located principally in Native American lands. The Friars desired to create an inward focused monastic environment for peace and meditation, yet, from within the walls of this cloistered compound, this extraordinary site high up on the West Mesa affords breathtaking views of the entire Middle Rio Grande Valley, the City of Albuquerque, and the Sandia and Manzano Mountain ranges. The friary has two sections. The east wing is a more common area with a living room, a dining room and kitchen. This area opens up to a large portal with an outdoor fireplace and a beautifully landscaped courtyard. The 12 friars each have their own private residential spaces, which make up the west wing. Also in this wing is a vaulting Chapel where the friars perform their daily devotions. Special attention was paid to the colors, materials and elemental design that were used in the construction of this beautiful building. Engraved in the long benches that line the courtyard walls are words and phrases in Latin such as Pax et Bonum, which means Peace and Beauty, the greeting of St. Francis. Another, more private interior courtyard in the center of the friary is of a rose color representing the symbol of this Order, the Catilian rose of the Virgin of Guadalupe. Even the Chapel’s alter wall is a Venetian plaster colored wall in “Blood of Christ red.” The exterior walls are in the same shade of brown as the traditional friar robe. Other accent colors were chosen to represent the Native American cultures.

First Financial Credit Union Headquarters
While serving the community for over 80 years, First Financial Credit Union (FFCU) has had to adapt alongside its members, their staff, and the ever-evolving marketplace. The main objective of this project was the creation of a new central office and a local banking branch. The leadership of First Financial had a substantial list of ideas and concepts they wanted to incorporate into this project from the outset. All desires were focused around employee health and safety, accessibility of the staff and patrons, and the need to better serve the community at large. A consolidated team effort between owner, design team, and the contractor, Enterprise Builders – this project was delivered as a design build contract. The team’s ability to work collaboratively throughout the entire design and construction process allowed for easy adaptation to client needs and wants, a major key to the project’s success. Having a budget set early and continuous pricing of design concepts and changes supported the leadership team in making durable design decisions that honored project goals.
