Legacies Are Built From The Ground Up

Travis Massegee, Jaynes Corporate Safety Director says about the award, “Our management team has helped ensure that safety is intertwined with everything we do, from pre-construction planning to project delivery. Safe projects are almost always successful projects that Owners say were efficient and positive. Safety and project success go hand in hand.” The AGC CSEA recognizes construction companies that excel at safety. The AGC award committee scrutinizes companies’ commitment to safety, occupational health management, and risk control. Unlike other safety award programs that limit the criteria to frequency rates, the CSEA judging process is more comprehensive, thoroughly examining competitors’ management commitment, employee participation, safety training and education programs, work site hazard identification and control, and safety program innovation. Management’s commitment to safety was a major grading element of the competition. Jaynes’s first-place wins in the AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards competition in 2012 and 2015 is also a testament to safety being our core value.

This transformative 75,000-square-foot, two-story structure, situated adjacent to the main CHRISTUS St. Vincent campus consolidates various cancer care services under one roof. This facility provides much-needed space and additional regional healthcare capacity for Northern New Mexico residents. The CMAR approach ensured that the project aligned with the hospital’s “patient-first” values and was completed efficiently. The facility features a chemotherapy suite with infusion spaces, private rooms, and outdoor treatment areas. The radiation treatment vault involved radiation shielding, eliminating the need for heavy doors thus reducing patient anxiety. Amenities such as a demonstration kitchen, community meeting spaces, and areas for wellness activities are incorporated to support patients’ holistic treatment.

This is a 7,200 square foot state-of-the-art, critical operational facility. Northern New Mexico’s first responder infrastructure and emergency response now has the capacity to initiate all public safety communications to include emergency 911 and non-emergency calls for sheriff, fire, medical and animal control. The facility focuses on stress-reduction for employee well-being. Key elements include a decompression room, modern kitchen and dining spaces for first responders, and a private emergency personnel access road. To facilitate better communication, a pneumatic tube system (PTS) was installed to enable rapid coordination between dispatchers, emergency services personnel, and first responders. New state-of-the-art technology, a climate-controlled server room, disaster recovery resilience, and generator systems were essential elements. The Jaynes Building Information Modeling (BIM) team also used terrestrial laser scanners critical to ensuring that the finished floors met all industry standards.

This thoroughly modern 11,330 square foot Fire and Emergency Medical Services station was an upgrade of emergency services capabilities in the Pueblo’s communities. Jaynes worked with both Pueblo of Sandia and Bernalillo County to answer stringent project requirements. Innovative construction technology included Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) and Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs). ICFs, filled with reinforced concrete, exponentially increase structural integrity and offer a unique blend of performance, efficiency, and versatility. CMUs offer superior strength and longevity. Another unique feature of the facility is state-of-the-art automatic doors that enable vastly quicker vehicle response times. The Jaynes Building Information Modeling (BIM) team was also vital to this project, contributing completed Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) modeling and coordination, and Jaynes Structures self-performed all of the concrete work.

This 13,000-square-foot, two-story building facility addresses the pressing demand for student accommodation, facilitates greater access to education, and is designed to maximize cultural connection to Diné traditions. This facility incorporates two Resident Assistant offices, multipurpose rooms, fully equipped kitchens, and features a shared living space replicating the traditional hogan building method with a large skylight and an octagon railing opening on the second floor. Additional spaces such as a healing room and counselor room were incorporated to cater to the holistic needs of the student residents. Jaynes Structures self-performed various tasks for this project including concrete work, miscellaneous framing, and the installation of Division 10 components. Furthermore, the Jaynes Building Information Modeling (BIM) team played a pivotal role throughout the project, ensuring precision and effectiveness in all construction endeavors.

Jaynes built Presbyterian’s tallest tower yet on its original, 111-year-old campus. The new 335,000 square foot, 11-story facility (with an additional penthouse) increased patient rooms by more than 25%. Phase 1 of this CMAR project involved infrastructure relocation and upgrades, building demolition stabilization and shoring, central energy center upgrades, and the diagnostic and treatment unit/patient tower expansion and renovation. Proactive collaboration with Presbyterian Healthcare Services and DPS Architects structured the project in a way that our entire team was able to combine our forces to provide innovative design and construction solutions to maximize the patient experience and operational efficiency.

The Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle K-8 Community School is located on the Navajo Nation, south of Bloomfield, New Mexico. This Design/Build replacement project consisted of the construction of an academic facility to include a library/media area, administrative area, kitchen/dining, gymnasium, dormitory, play fields, facilities, maintenance building renovation, and utilities. The sire area impacted by construction was approximately 20.5 acres and consisted of: 190,000 square feet of landscaped area, 9,000 square feet of turf play fields, 12,500 square feet of play equipment areas, 57,783 square feet of the new school building, and 13,520 square feet of the new dormitory building.

The Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle Community School is home to many students who would not otherwise have access to quality education. The incorporation of indigenous Navajo tradition and culture throughout the development make this project profoundly unique.

Jaynes began working with San Juan College nearly 30 years ago and has completed nearly 30 projects on campus. Our most recent SJC Student Housing project marks a 20-year journey to provide on-site student housing. The facility involved a three-story, wood-framed building that provides the space for 150 students to stay on campus. The 37,500 square foot building also provides a large Great Room, full kitchen, laundry rooms and multiple study and breakout areas. By collaborating with the LEED professional on site, the project team quickly addressed and avoided issues throughout the duration of the project. Each detail of the facility was intentional, emphasizes culture, and provides a solid foundation to ensure healthy living for SJC’s students.

Originally constructed more than 60 years ago, the Los Altos Park Renovation – Phase 1 project included the restoration and improvement of the softball complex spanning approximately 22 acres in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The complex consists of five well-designed softball fields that cater to various age groups and skill levels, providing a premier venue for softball competitions, leagues, and community events. The layout of the fields incorporates well-maintained grass infields, outfield areas, base paths, and pitcher’s mounds. The new park includes 25’ high backstop fences, 6′ high outfield fences, new restrooms, and a community building with multipurpose meeting rooms to support regional softball tournaments and community events. The complex will serve as a centerpiece for softball enthusiasts in Albuquerque and surrounding communities.

Jaynes spearheaded the development of Albuquerque ER, a state-of-the-art healthcare facility spanning 15,585 square feet. Strategically situated in a community-centric locale, this facility was meticulously built to provide an extensive array of medical services. Within its inpatient unit, patients have the provision for observation or short-term admissions.

Albuquerque ER ensures uninterrupted emergency medical care, operational round the clock throughout the year. The facility boasts a comprehensive clinical laboratory and is equipped with cutting-edge imaging and diagnostic tools, including but not limited to, MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, and digital X-Ray technology. It features seven acute care ER beds and an additional four inpatient beds, all set within an inviting environment.

This facility is a 4-story, wood framed building, with 92 one and two-bedroom units. The ground level along Central Avenue contains public use spaces, the leasing/business office, maintenance office, lounge for residents, onsite social service office and amenity spaces. 72 of the units are one-bedroom, one bath and 20 of the units are two-bedroom, one bath. A minimum of 5% of the units proportionally distributed between one and two-bedroom units are Type ‘A’ fully accessible, and all other units are Type ‘B’ adaptability. A minimum of 2% of units have provisions for the hearing impaired. This project met the requirements of the NMMFA LIHTC application submittal, all City of Albuquerque adopted building codes, and the City of Albuquerque development agreement requirements for projects with HOME funds.

Jaynes teamed up with Huitt-Zollars to design and build the infrastructure, office space, and residence for Artesia’s Haven of Hope, an organization offering single mothers a way to gain job skills, receive financial counseling, continue their education, and build a better life for themselves and their children while living in a safe and structured home-like environment. From the beginning, we made a commitment to hiring local subcontractors whenever possible to help workers and their families in the community during COVID-19.

The Sandia Resort & Casino 3-Level South Expansion is the largest project we’ve completed for the Pueblo of Sandia. We worked alongside Studio Southwest Architects in a design-build process that proudly showcases Pueblo architectural styles, this 14-month project provided jobs during COVID-19 and continues to boost economic growth for the Pueblo.

The Santa Fe High School (SFHS) Administration Building – Phase 1 project consisted of four micro-phases, with all renovations, demolition, and new construction focused on enhancing security on the 100-acre campus and updating its facilities. Because the campus stayed open for the duration of construction, we prioritized the reduction of dust and noise to minimize student distraction and environmental disruption. New safety features include concrete retaining walls, metal wall panels, visitor identification technology, and door barricade devices for classrooms to keep students and faculty safe.

Using Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) methods, Jaynes completed over 100,000 square feet of renovation and new construction to modernize and improve this on-campus fitness space. Improvements include expanded weight and cardio equipment space, indoor track and cycling studio, new amenities including bathrooms, laundry room, lobby, and social areas, and upgraded heating and air conditioning. These renovations create a health-focused space where students, staff, and faculty can thrive.

Centrally located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Central Desert Behavioral Health Hospital is a 64-bed inpatient hospital offering advanced programming and services for the treatment of behavioral health illness for older adults. The facility is positioned adjacent to Spanish Trails Skilled Nursing Facility, built by Jaynes Corporation, which is also owned by Elm Street Realty. Being across the street from each other offers convenience to the Owner and Staff when needing to transport patients from one facility to the other. This facility replaced an older outdated facility and included two large exterior courtyards, two large activity rooms and a full service kitchen and laundry facilities.

Jaynes has provided a facility that contributes to the comfort and well-being of patients, staff members, and visitors. We have accommodated both universal features in addition to evaluating specific features that are essential to this type of treatment. Leveraging a universal design approach, and one that revolves around improving the psychological well-being of patients, has proven to be invaluable.

Jaynes began construction on Albuquerque’s newest SpringHill Suites by Marriott hotel in January of 2019. Located on Central Avenue across from Presbyterian Hospital, this project involved ground-up construction of a 5-story wood frame over a single-story concrete podium, hotel. At approximately 93,000 square feet and 19,200 square feet of parking, the new facility offers 118 Guest Suites and a large glass vestibule and lobby area which will overlook Central Avenue. Additionally, the hotel offers something very special. The third floor of the new space provides 20 additional rooms dedicated for use by the Ronald McDonald House Charities of New Mexico. This floor also contains laundry facilities, public space, kitchen, and most importantly, a private elevator and sky bridge connecting families with Presbyterian.

Farmington Aquatic Outdoor Facility construction involved two outdoor pools, one being a lap pool and one being a recreational pool. The lap pool included volleyball nets, basketball nets, and two large water slides. The recreation pool included a zero-entry, lazy river, whirlpool, monkey ropes, and large children’s play feature. The site included a large pool deck with three large shade structures, a tiered seating area, a food truck area, and an outdoor changing area. Two buildings were constructed to house a lifeguard area and break room, multiple storage areas, an administration area, MDF room, family restrooms, public restrooms, multipurpose room, and a pool mechanical room. This project replaced an old, dilapidated outdoor pool that had been closed since 2016. It was a community staple for 60 years and was met with great sadness when it closed. There was considerable community buy-in during the design of the water park and it has already become a community staple in its first six months of existence.

Jaynes collaborated with Studio Southwest Architects to successfully deliver the Mountain & Valley Regional Health Facility project to the residents of Edgewood and its surrounding communities. Owned by Santa Fe County and run by 1st Choice Community Healthcare, this 20,750 square foot facility includes custom spaces for a 16-room general medical clinic, an eight-chair dental clinic, and community and public health services. This Design/Build project was designed and constructed in 11 months and provides primary medical care, dental care, and behavioral health care in the primary care setting for its established patients. The facility also provides training and support for the Department of Health’s Women and Children (WIC) program, which focuses on nutrition and wellbeing education for low-income families.

The layout, design and special features of the Artesia Aquatic Center were intentional and mirror Artesia and its residents. The focal point of the project, the large pool, was designed and executed in the shape of a bulldog to reflect the high school mascot. Staying true to supporting local high school sports, this facility provides students from the Artesia High School swim team with a lane pool to practice in. The structure also provides a lap swim option for public use and a therapy pool for medical services.

Residents now have access to two indoor pools, a 25-yard/8-lane competition pool, and a 60-foot long, 4-lane flexible/training warm-up and cool-down pool. The outdoor facility offers a shallow, zero-entry pool with interactive features such as a 25’ tall oil rig that bursts water at the top and a large, 4,000 square foot pool, which also features a lazy river and three large slides.

Jaynes utilized top of the line technology, workforce, and years of experience during the construction of the Artesia Aquatic Center. Every square inch of the exterior pools was custom built. The project involved over 3,500 square feet of tile that makes up the bulldog mural which sits at the bottom of the pool. This component of the project required an “all hands on deck” approach to ensure that the best practices of fabrication and installation were met for the owner.

The purpose of the Santa Fe County Administrative Complex revolved around consolidating many county functions into one campus. This project was located in the heart of downtown Santa Fe. Our team worked alongside the owner and architect in this Design-Build project to plan, design and construct a new administration office complex and parking structure. Development included all utility and infrastructure requirements such as electrical, gas, telecommunications, sanitary sewer and fire protection/suppression. The project also entailed green building, water and energy conservation, and additional sustainability elements. The shell administration building includes common areas such as a lobby and reception space, administrative office space, shared meeting and conference areas and additional public space to meet building and life safety code requirements and related parking. This space also provides a wellness center, locker rooms and outdoor decks to promote employee wellness. Additionally, a second outdoor deck was implemented for event use such as weddings and conferences. Our team also restored the Historic John Gaw Meem building to its original state. Being the capital of the state of New Mexico, Santa Fe’s rich history is evident in its architecture. At Jaynes, we understand that a rich history begins with a strong foundation. Through this project, Jaynes and Studio Southwest have honored Santa Fe’s rich history while facilitating a space that will help Santa Fe County thrive for decades to come.

Four Years, One Community

In August 2018, Jaynes completed a four year, multi-phased CMAR venture in Farmington, New Mexico. The facility provides 207,000 square feet of new educational and athletic facilities, 60,000 square feet of renovated space, and eighteen acres of new infrastructure, parking, and landscaping.

Demolition + New Construction

The new facilities consist of a three-story, 51,000 square foot academic classroom wing, 113,000 square foot, two-story building for administration, multi-use wing, a science wing, and 43,000 square foot competition gymnasium. Renovation concentrated on upgrades to the current Fine Arts Building. The existing auxiliary gym was repurposed into a black box theatre, and the cafeteria was transformed into a fitness and aerobics center.

Learning Next To The Job

To provide the new learning spaces, we identified the proximity to students and educators as the greatest challenge. The entire campus was active while we renovated, demolished, and replaced their buildings, utilities, and parking areas. Because the Farmington High School project is CMAR, we spent an immense amount of time pre-planning with FHS administrators and the FBT Architects team. This was done to maintain the highest degree of safety and security during the entire project.

Our relationship with the Pueblo of Sandia spans over a decade and allowed for seamless communication and trust between the Owner and Jaynes.

This project involved a 28,000 square foot, two-story office complex adjacent to the fully operational casino. The delivery method was Design-Build where Jaynes collaborated with Studio Southwest Architects.

From the inception of the Office Complex project through its completion, the Pueblo of Sandia’s focus was its HR workforce. Providing an upgraded facility and a more up-to-date working environment for the HR Department was paramount. The HR facility was previously a trailer located off-site from the casino. This relocation offers the convenience of one location closer to the casino and its activities, unifying Sandia’s workforce. The brand new facility includes approximately 60 offices, storage rooms, training facilities and file rooms.

Sandia’s priorities for this project were low voltage, data outlets, projector screens and visual aids for their conference rooms/training facilities. The training facility is large enough that it can be separated into two rooms. In addition, two file rooms with high-density file cabinets were installed to reduce the storage needed for files and provides staff with easier access to their files. Low voltage was set up in a way that can be expanded effortlessly.
