Founded 1950, Community Ambulance Company of Sayville (CAC) provides 24 hour a day, 7 day a week, emergency medical service to Sayville, West Sayville, Bayport, Oakdale and Bohemia. CAC needed a new facility to replace the small-antiquated 3,800 sq. ft. building they have operated out of since their inception. Their new location, on Lakeland Avenue and size of the new facility was designed to increase response times to the more than 4,000 calls they recieve a year. The larger facility allows CAC to store all of their ambulances on site and being north of the Long Island Rail Road’s Montauk line often avoids being stuck behind one of the 43 trains using the rail line each day.
CAC choose to hire TRITEC Building Company as a Construction Manager to build this 22,500 square foot project. TRITEC provided substantial preconstruction and value engineering services and set a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the overall project. TRITEC provided design coordination, with Baldassano Architecture and EMTEC Consulting Engineers, construction cost estimating and coordination of permit approval. Preconstruction was completed in 10 months.
The completed 22,500 square foot building stands at two stories tall and includes a partial basement. The project included significant sitework that consisted of clearing, asphalt, pavers and the installation of a drainage pond for runoff from the roof and site On the main level the building features 10 apparatus bays, a radio dispatch station, a crew room, sleeping quarters, lavatories, laundry facilities, and medical storage. The second floor features administrative offices, a boardroom, classrooms, a large meeting room, commercial kitchen, public restrooms, and storage rooms. The 10 ambulance bays require special ventilation system for diesel exhaust removal. The building also includes 1,500 square feet of basement area, an elevator, and a 250 KW emergency generator to insure uninterrupted service.
The exterior of the building is constructed with brick veneer and precast concrete trim to reflect a classic design consistent with Long Island architecture. A flat roof serves to house the building’s mechanical and communications systems which hide behind a beautiful architecturally shingled mansard. Storefront glass, cementitious trim, fypon soffit brackets, ample parking, LED lighting, and indigenous landscaping make this a handsomely appointed asset for Sayville and the surrounding Islip Towns well into the future.
The construction was completed on time, over a 12 month period and yielded a significant cost savings that was returned to the owner.
Los Angeles, CA, January 12, 2008 -
Phantom Galleries LA has become known for transforming unsightly empty storefronts into vibrant and culturally exciting art experiences from Beverly Hills to Pasadena. PGLA is proud to announce a partnership with the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency in presenting their inaugural Long Beach exhibit, Susan Chorpenning's window installation "Fiat Lux III." Curated by Dangerous Curve.
Location: 248 Pine Ave, Long Beach, CA 90802
Exhibit runs: January 12 to March 12, 2008.
Viewable 24/7 with optimal viewing hours between 5 pm - 1 am.
Gallery Hours by appointment only.
Reception for the artist TBA.
"Fiat Lux" means "Let There be Light." Chorpenning means to light up
the darkest days and longest nights of the year. If you've not seen
one of Susan Chorpenning's twinkling light window displays, you've not
had a true urban winter-wonderland experience! Her last PGLA
installation, "Fiat Lux II," was like a holiday mega-display, with the
lights painstakingly intertwined and loaded on until they filled the
whole window. From afar, the window seemed to hover in front of its
pane of glass. Up close, one's whole field of vision was engulfed.
The effect was invigorating exuberance.
"Fiat Lux III" is more subdued than was "Fiat Lux 2," its lights
restrained (if only slightly) and elegant. It fills the two windows to the left and
right of the location's main doorway. The walls are painted
bright colors with added blocks of color behind some light elements. These light elements come in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as twinkling globes, mini-lava lamps, colored compact fluorescents, and tiny, twinkling, multicolored lights mounted on frames. Using stretcher bars throughout - but instead of being the structure for paintings, they are the structure for lights - eg. strings of lights wrapped around the stretcher bars, and variations on this theme. These "frames" are the most recurrent image in the piece. More subtle it is, but indeed still a beautiful sensory enterprise.
More about the Artist
Chorpenning suechor/myhomepage/index.html
is from Altadena, via New York and Europe. She has had numerous solo
shows and siteworks in galleries and museums, nationally in New York,
the San Francisco Bay Area, Texas, and internationally in Paris,
France, and Germany. She has performed to rave reviews at Dixon
Place, The Knitting Factory, BACA, The Painted Bride, and Claremont
College.
Among other things, Chorpenning does so-called "dark rooms," chairs
with flash units and light-sensitive rocks. All these
things use afterimages (from phosphorescent paint or flash units that
leave traces on one's retina to mimic memory perceptions. The "memories" can build up and overlap, and sometimes interact and overwrite each other.
Chorpenning's solo show at Dangerous Curve in 2004 was one of her
"light room" installations. In these, she uses paint on walls and
floors to record "memories" of constantly moving sunlight streaming in
through doors, windows, and skylights throughout a given day. All
Chorpenning's past light rooms have been records of sunlight as it
actually came into the rooms, but in "February Thirtieth," the
sunlight was completely fabricated for a completely fabricated day.
Chorpenning has noted that light traces left from another part of a
day can have a surprising psychological effect, causing the viewer to
perceive enhanced brightness in a room without really understanding
why. Imagine the effect in a room that, facing north, doesn't have any
direct sunlight at all. The space at Dangerous Curve is such a room,
and the effect of Chorpenning's multicolored trace records was
profound.

''Twilight States and the Edges of Darkness is a collaborative site-specific mixed and multimedia installation that responds to a selected site at Bundanon, the rural New South Wales estate gifted to the Australian government by the artist Arthur Boyd to support arts practice and promote engagement with the natural and cultural landscape. Exhibited as part of the Bundanon’s annual one day event Siteworks, this work aims to “create a contemplative space for encountering multi-sensorial, and preternatural connections to the environment through the use of endangered flora in New South Wales. Images of these plants are expressed through embroidered textiles, sculptural forms, and micro-electronics. The audience is encouraged to explore the shifting quality of the work from day to night. Twilight States is a gentle intervention in the landscape that reminds us of our connections to the ecosystems to which we belong.''

restrained (if only slightly) and elegant. It fills the two windows to the left and
right of the location's main doorway. The walls are painted
bright colors with added blocks of color behind some light elements. These light elements come in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as twinkling globes, mini-lava lamps, colored compact fluorescents, and tiny, twinkling, multicolored lights mounted on frames. Using stretcher bars throughout - but instead of being the structure for paintings, they are the structure for lights - eg. strings of lights wrapped around the stretcher bars, and variations on this theme. These "frames" are the most recurrent image in the piece. More subtle it is, but indeed still a beautiful sensory enterprise.
More about the Artist
Chorpenning suechor/myhomepage/index.html
is from Altadena, via New York and Europe. She has had numerous solo
shows and siteworks in galleries and museums, nationally in New York,
the San Francisco Bay Area, Texas, and internationally in Paris,
France, and Germany. She has performed to rave reviews at Dixon
Place, The Knitting Factory, BACA, The Painted Bride, and Claremont
College.
Among other things, Chorpenning does so-called "dark rooms," chairs
with flash units and light-sensitive rocks. All these
things use afterimages (from phosphorescent paint or flash units that
leave traces on one's retina to mimic memory perceptions. The "memories" can build up and overlap, and sometimes interact and overwrite each other.
Chorpenning's solo show at Dangerous Curve in 2004 was one of her
"light room" installations. In these, she uses paint on walls and
floors to record "memories" of constantly moving sunlight streaming in
through doors, windows, and skylights throughout a given day. All
Chorpenning's past light rooms have been records of sunlight as it
actually came into the rooms, but in "February Thirtieth," the
sunlight was completely fabricated for a completely fabricated day.
Chorpenning has noted that light traces left from another part of a
day can have a surprising psychological effect, causing the viewer to
perceive enhanced brightness in a room without really understanding
why. Imagine the effect in a room that, facing north, doesn't have any
direct sunlight at all. The space at Dangerous Curve is such a room,
and the effect of Chorpenning's multicolored trace records was
profound.

Trenholm State Community College is currently in the process of architecturally re-branding their Patterson Campus. Trenholm State Community College’s Automotive Collision Repair Program was moved from the Trenholm Campus to the Patterson Campus, and in doing so, will utilize an existing 18,727sf metal building/warehouse which was conducive for the collision repair area. Additional square footage was added to the building to encompass two classrooms, a resource room, offices, tool storage, and a paint shop. The paint shop consists of two new pre-fabricated paint booths, mixing station, and prep area A new façade was developed to enhance the overall appearance of the building. This building is the first of many to feature the new architectural style.
Trenholm State Community College’s Administration and Financial Aid Building project included a new metal retrofit roof and the renovation of an existing building that houses administration offices, financial aid and other student amenities as part of there “Student Success” center to allow for additional classrooms. The existing spaces were updated with new finishes and associated energy efficient mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work. A new entrance and sitework were designed to give a good first impression to students and administrators entering campus.
Trenholm State Community College purchased state of the art prefabricated welding booths for their welding program. However, the buildings electrical system could not accommodate the loads for the booths. Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood was hired to prepare the architecture and engineering drawings to allow the program to use their new welding stations.
Building B & Building D were renovations that include interior and exterior work, re-roofing, structural, mechanical, electrical, civil, site work, exterior lighting, new streets, repairs and alterations to existing streets and parking lots, landscaping, and sidewalks.
Sitework continues at UCF's new Parking Garage VI ("H"). Prior to 2005, none of the buildings in the background existed. All you would see would have been the old Arena and some trees!

Founded 1950, Community Ambulance Company of Sayville (CAC) provides 24 hour a day, 7 day a week, emergency medical service to Sayville, West Sayville, Bayport, Oakdale and Bohemia. CAC needed a new facility to replace the small-antiquated 3,800 sq. ft. building they have operated out of since their inception. Their new location, on Lakeland Avenue and size of the new facility was designed to increase response times to the more than 4,000 calls they recieve a year. The larger facility allows CAC to store all of their ambulances on site and being north of the Long Island Rail Road’s Montauk line often avoids being stuck behind one of the 43 trains using the rail line each day.
CAC choose to hire TRITEC Building Company as a Construction Manager to build this 22,500 square foot project. TRITEC provided substantial preconstruction and value engineering services and set a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the overall project. TRITEC provided design coordination, with Baldassano Architecture and EMTEC Consulting Engineers, construction cost estimating and coordination of permit approval. Preconstruction was completed in 10 months.
The completed 22,500 square foot building stands at two stories tall and includes a partial basement. The project included significant sitework that consisted of clearing, asphalt, pavers and the installation of a drainage pond for runoff from the roof and site On the main level the building features 10 apparatus bays, a radio dispatch station, a crew room, sleeping quarters, lavatories, laundry facilities, and medical storage. The second floor features administrative offices, a boardroom, classrooms, a large meeting room, commercial kitchen, public restrooms, and storage rooms. The 10 ambulance bays require special ventilation system for diesel exhaust removal. The building also includes 1,500 square feet of basement area, an elevator, and a 250 KW emergency generator to insure uninterrupted service.
The exterior of the building is constructed with brick veneer and precast concrete trim to reflect a classic design consistent with Long Island architecture. A flat roof serves to house the building’s mechanical and communications systems which hide behind a beautiful architecturally shingled mansard. Storefront glass, cementitious trim, fypon soffit brackets, ample parking, LED lighting, and indigenous landscaping make this a handsomely appointed asset for Sayville and the surrounding Islip Towns well into the future.
The construction was completed on time, over a 12 month period and yielded a significant cost savings that was returned to the owner.
