Renovation Pictures April A MANCHESTER — Preparation for the renovation of space once occupied by Marcus Communications continues. Currently the construction crew is leveling, re-filling and sealing trenches that were dug to reroute the septic drainage system.

The next steps are to complete remediation of the new space, complete closure of the trench system, test the operational drainage system and complete remaining demo in the first phase space.

: Testing ports in the Phase 1 space, formerly Marcus Communications

: Long stretch of filled trench in the bay where the medic units typically park.

: Leveled and sealed drainage trench in the locker room hallway, test port visible.

: Leveled and filled drainage trenches in the Phase 1 area.

: The HVAC system in Phase 1 has been lowered for ease of maintenance.

The overall plan is to have the main entrance be on the south side of the building with a main hallway through the center down to the main vehicle bay. The renovated space will include additional training and simulation areas, a relocated locker area, new offices, a medical supply staging area, and two new restrooms although the plans remain fluid.

MANCHESTER — Preparation for the renovation of space once occupied by Marcus Communications continues. Currently the construction crew is working on cutting through concrete and digging trenches to reroute the septic drainage system.

The new space is to be occupied primarily by operational and business functions of the Ambulance Service of Manchester as well, to a lesser degree, by those of Metro Wheelchair and some business functions of Aetna Ambulance Service.

The current plan is to have the main entrance be on the south side of the building with a main hallway through the center. The renovated space will likely include additional training and simulation areas, a relocated locker area, new offices, a medical supply staging area, and two new restrooms. The plans remain fluid. Trenches for septic drainage and rough-outs for the new bathrooms can be seen here:

: Water leveling the gravel base in a drainage trench

: Concrete blocks cut and removed to begin trench work in the bay

: Long line of cut marks from the pump to the current trench

: Long line of cut marks from the pump to the current trench

MANCHESTER — As of February 2013 Marcus Communications has moved from their long time home at 275 New State Road to 33 Mitchell Drive in Manchester’s Industrial Park. This move allows the Ambulance Service of Manchester to continue to grow the main company office and headquarters (known as 10-1) into the space Marcus once occupied.

Final purposes and uses for the all of the renovated space are still being decided but current plans call for additional training space, expanded offices, a medical supply and deployment area, new restrooms and a reconfigured main entrance. Below are some ‘Before’ pictures and future posts will show the progress of the construction.
