Chapel Renovation Project, Saint Joseph Villa

As the owner’s representative and project manager, PurePM is leading the renovation of Saint Joseph Villa’s 8,150 SF Chapel. The renovation includes finish upgrades and enhancements to the Predella, Altar, Mezzanine, and Balcony areas as well as light finish upgrades to the existing Sacristy. Two new ramps on either side of the altar will help with accessibility within the Chapel. In addition, finish upgrades to the existing Chapel walls, new travertine, marble flooring, updating the existing recess lighting fixtures within the ceiling to new LEDs, as well as the addition of a 14’ diameter corona lighting halo will be added within the project scope. The creation of a halo light fixture works in tandem with updated LED lighting to increase lighting levels and improve visibility.

The renovation of the Mezzanine and Balcony adds more seating and space for AV control. Low voltage work and audio-visual enhancements help create an improved experience for the congregation attending mass in person and virtual services. In addition to custom congregational seating, custom liturgical furnishings made from wood are being created for a personal and unique addition to the Chapel. These ornate pieces will include a solid wood Presiders’ Chair, Altar, Ambo, and Easter Candle stand.

PurePM is assisting the Sisters of Saint Joseph Villa in engaging their community for input on selecting the furnishings. Pure PM is also managing the RFP team selection process by selecting a Construction Manager to join the team and carry out the construction phase of the project. Through construction, PurePM will assist with all communications between the Owner, Architect, and Contractor and will manage all FF&E procurement and installation on behalf of the Villa.
