Vanderbilt Eye
Institute |
| |
The space formerly occupied by the heart institute
has now been converted into office and clinical space for the
ophthalmology group. 49,000 sq ft was completely reconfigured for
the new use, including the addition of 2 elevators and creating a
new atrium at the entry lobby. Mechanical and electrical systems
were completely revamped. A new exterior appearance was created by
replacing the curtainwall facade on 2 walls, adding a steel canopy
at the most prominent building corner, and changing grades at the
street and sidewalks at the main entry.

Orion Helping to Build a "Greener" World |
|
Orion has made major strides in meeting the
responsibility of an environmentally-conscience builder. Two of our
project managers, Marty Greenberg and Tim Luppe, have received their
LEED™ Accredited Professional certification and the rest of our
project management staff are working toward the same. Orion also
works to protect and replenish the environment through the purchase
of over 350 trees per year. We have adopted a philosophy of leaving
our mark on society not only through building quality facilities,
but also through helping protect our Earth for future generations.

Busy Summer at Vanderbilt University Campus |
| |
Construction signs are always visible on the Vanderbilt campus,
especially during the summer months when less students, faculty, and
staff are present. Orion will be working on renovations at Benson
Hall, Calhoun Hall, and Rand Dining Hall, and on replacement of the
turf at the John Rich Practice and Wedgewood Recreation fields.
Work on each project is scheduled for completion before the fall
semester begins.

Orion
Employee Responds to Hospital Fire |
|
Orion foreman, Tommy Collins,
has been recently commended by Vanderbilt University Medical Center
for his quick response in extinguishing a fire at the Vanderbilt
Clinic. On June 11, a storage room light fixture shorted out and
caught fire when Vanderbilt housekeeping personnel entered the space
and turned on the light switch. Working in a nearby construction
area, Tommy was attracted by the commotion and quickly extinguished
the fire.
Ken Browning,
Director of Vanderbilt University Plant Services, cited Tommy for
his response to the fire. “As a result of his quick and decisive
action the damage was limited to a relatively small area. Had he
not responded as he did, many of our patients would have experienced
delays in their critical cancer infusion therapy. He contributed
significantly to our mission of quality patient care and deserves to
be recognized.”
The management and
staff at Orion joins Vanderbilt Medical Center in thanking Tommy for
going beyond the call of duty!
