River Bend Food Bank

Posted on December 10, 2024

River Bend Food Bank was facing a good problem – they were running out of space for their daily operations!

Our team constructed a 10,000 square foot addition to the existing building to expand office space. We also added a small office within the warehouse to streamline the shipping process. Additionally, a new parking lot was built to accommodate volunteer and employee parking.

The project was carried out in multiple phases to ensure uninterrupted business operations. Firstly, we installed the new parking lot so the old one could be replaced to make room for the office space addition. After completing the addition, the office staff moved into the new space, allowing us to demolish the old office area and create more warehouse and volunteer space.

Notably, the water service for the project had to be adjusted to meet a city requirement for a fire hydrant located on the other side of the railroad tracks. While this modification initially posed a significant cost burden to the owner, our team found an alternative method to install the hydrant, resulting in substantial cost savings.

Cardiovascular Medicine – Moline

Posted on November 21, 2023

With top-notch patient care, Cardiovascular Medicine of Moline was growing at a rate that their existing facility could not keep up with. They were short on exam rooms, offices, and parking. CVM came to Bush Construction to deliver a turnkey construction project. Our full-service process included design, as well as pre and post-construction. The two-story addition included exam rooms and office space on the first floor and conference spaces, a sleep study lab and additional office space on the second floor. In addition, 121 additional parking spaces were added to the existing properties.

We were proud to help CVM make history as a part of this expansion project. One of new exam rooms became the home of the first Cardiac PETCT Omni Scanner in the USA! This technology makes it possible to better monitor therapy by showing smaller and clearer details.

Bush Construction worked closely with the CVM team during construction as they were still providing care to clients. Disruptions were kept to a minimum through thorough communication and work completed during non-business hours. Creative problem-solving was a must when faced with supply chain challenges during the life of this project. Our strong relationships with Tri-City Electric and Crawford Company allowed us to acquire temporary units and gear allowing CVM to remain operational, conducting business as usual.

Rock Island High School

Posted on July 7, 2023

The near-century-old Rock Island High School has new life after a renovation/addition of more than 60,000 square feet. The $10.8 million project required a complex reconfiguration of the main floor including a relocation of the main office, nurses’ office, administrator, and athletic director offices to improve overall flow and accessibility. The adjustments required an addition to the existing building.

A major transformation to the school’s main entryway creates a modern and welcoming first impression while enhancing security measures. Just inside, students can now enjoy a college-like atmosphere with a new and improved cafeteria as well as lavished common areas to socialize, study and relax.

Rocky’s exterior also got some much-needed attention including safety and efficiency upgrades to the pick-up/drop-off areas, expanded staff parking, and new outdoor courtyard spaces to enjoy. The library and various classrooms throughout the school were also renovated.

As school was in session for the majority of construction, our team coordinated closely with officials to ensure as little disruption as possible to staff and students.

Animal Family Veterinary Care Center

Posted on April 13, 2021

Animal Family Veterinary Care Center’s growth was outpacing the size of their facility. Our design and construction teams helped to find solutions through renovations of two adjacent facilities and a small addition. The team converted their existing, partially vacant “north building” into a state-of-the-art grooming, boarding, and training facility. The goal of all client-facing areas was to be friendly and inviting while all employee-facing areas were to provide facilities that prepare the AFVCC team for the future of veterinary care.

Phase two of the project was to utilize existing ward spaces and convert them into all-new medical and dental treatment spaces. The addition portion of the project was to provide new ward spaces for treated animals. The completion of phase two represented a total transformation of the entire campus, complimented by the already completed play area.

Bettendorf Christian Church

Posted on February 8, 2021

To accommodate a growing congregation, Bettendorf Christian Church underwent a 16,000 SF addition and 10,000 SF renovation project. Their goals were to increase space, improve traffic flow and enhance their children’s and student ministries. The church determined a multi-use worship area that seats up to 850 with a gym layout would offer the greatest flexibility to convert the space for a variety of activities and events.

The Church’s gym/worship area includes a stage, a separate audio-visual area, and a baptistry. The welcoming front entrance provides an open space for members to congregate, the kitchen an opportunity to serve, and the cafe a way to enjoy coffee and conversation before or after services.

St. Ambrose University | McMullen Hall

Posted on August 26, 2020

McMullen Hall is nestled on the southwest corner of the St. Ambrose University campus and is the new, state-of-the-art home to the University’s College of Business. The $8.6 million project included the renovation of the existing 38,000 SQFT building and a 16,000 SQFT addition. According to St. Ambrose, “a major focus of the project has been the integration of old and new, reflecting the University’s agility while holding tight to our history and mission.”

The new addition features ten new classrooms and a student commons area highlighted, a sales lab with six individual team rooms, a tiered lecture classroom, and a finance lab. The varied classroom styles assist the University in preparing students for the business world, which focuses on teams and collaboration. The renovation of the existing building converted existing classrooms into faculty offices and added a Dean’s office suite.
