Salem Terrace at Harrogate is a three-story, 86,622 square-foot assisted living and Alzheimer’s care facility which was recently completed by the team at MB Contractors. The facility offers 16 units (20 beds) for Alzheimer care, 16 units (16 beds) for intensive assisted living care, and 44 units (74 beds) for assisted living care, for a total of 76 units and 110 beds.

The Salem Terrace building was constructed of steel framing and concrete floor slabs, while the exterior and interior wall partitions utilize steel stud framing and gypsum wall board. The facility’s exterior veneering consists of brick masonry and integrated vinyl siding components. Azek prefinished composite wood shapes were implemented as veneering for the soffits and false columns.

Interior finishes include a multitude of paint colors and accent walls, wallpaper, high-grade carpet, ceramic tile, Parterre flooring, upgraded cabinetry, marble vanity tops, and an architectural wood central staircase and balcony. The main lounge includes an upscale vent-free gas fireplace with tile surrounds and a mahogany wood mantel and trim. The building heating and cooling consists of through-wall package units for the resident rooms, and various split systems for the common areas.

Specialty safety features at Salem Terrace include an event monitoring and alerting system, telephone entry technology, and general access control systems. MB Contractors also performed a variety of site work, including all underground utilities and roof collections systems, asphalt paving and concrete curb and gutters, a pedestrian bridge and myriad of concrete sidewalks, and heavy landscaping with 51 species.

The Salem Terrace at Harrogate facility offers a full-service commercial kitchen, dining room, lounge, library, Internet café, activity rooms, separate house and resident laundry areas, game room, therapy room, beauty salon, and employee lounge and locker room. The Alzheimer’s wing is on the ground level and has a large, expanded outdoor area for exercise and therapy, contained with an architectural aluminum fence.

MB Contractors is proud to have completed this project recently, and we believe the results are an outstanding showcase for our general contracting and construction management capabilities.
