Elkhorn, NE: Construction of Brookestone Meadows Great Room Addition Begins

Construction has begun at Brookestone Meadows

In an effort to enhance our quality of life, a new great room is being added on to the front of the building.  This 1,600 square foot space will have multiple purposes and functions for patients, families, guests, and team members.  We will be able to accommodate up to 80 people for a sit down dinner or as many as 100 people to watch a Husker game on the overhead projection screen.  We are confident that our famous wine and cheese reunions will launch from this great room addition!  This great room space will also serve as a wonderful place for team gatherings,  meetings for training, and celebrations.

As a part of this new construction work, the existing ice cream parlor will be relocated and expanded into what is now the meditation chapel.  A private patio, that will make a special place for morning cups of coffee, will be added adjacent to the ice cream parlor in a quiet courtyard.  Just off of the ice cream parlor, will be a new a gift shop.  The O.W.L.S. will be serving our residents and their guests with special gifts available to purchase in this renovated space.  The renovation will also include expansion to some of the office space in the therapy gym area.

RDG Planning and Design is the architectural firm for this project.  They served as the architect and quality partner for the original building.  Vetter Health Services is handling  and overseeing the construction management for this project.  Steve Hansen, Project Manager for the Vetter organization will be managing the construction work.

We anticipate this work being completed sometime this fall…maybe in time for a Husker game!
