Construction
The School District of Lee County has selected GATES as the builder for the G. Weaver Hipps Elementary School in Lehigh Acres. The 122,244 square foot school is a prototype design. This school will house approximately 1,000 students grades K - 5. It will be built using the tilt-wall and structural steel construction method. In 2007, GATES completed the same prototype design at Patriot Elementary ahead of schedule and under budget.
The campus features include a kinder covered play area with restrooms, physical education facility, classrooms, and administrative offices. Construction is expected to commence in the Spring of 2008.
Taylor-Pansing, Inc. has completed construction on the Del Prado Land Group Medical Building Project. The 7-Unit, 13,800 square foot project located at 126 Del Prado Blvd. N in Cape Coral was specifically built for five doctors. It includes a CAT Scan/ Imaging Unit, and one additional unit for lease. The project Manager was Keith Taylor and the superintendent was Jimmy Barrett.
In addition, the company has started work on the Faith Presbyterian Church Phase I. The site is at 4544 Coronado Parkway, Cape Coral. The first phase includes the 17,520 square foot Christian Life Center, and a new maintenance facility. The project is scheduled for completion in January.
