Project Architect: Foit-Albert & Associates
Project Reference: Russell Maxwell, Former General Manager (716) 200-5710

Project Program:

Rural Metro Medical Services, a national health care services provider, selected Ross Wilson to develop and construct their Western New York Headquarters building in Buffalo, New York consolidating their administrative offices and vehicle maintenance functions into an existing 30,000 square foot building. The existing structure was a vacant shell in the City's Economic Development Zone and needed substantial reconstruction. Ross Wilson & Associates located a suitable building within the zone, acquired it on Rural Metro's behalf, and assisted Rural Metro with the applications for the various grants and subsidy programs.

The project needed to be constructed in two phases to accommodate Rural Metro's existing lease schedules. The vehicle and maintenance area included raising the roof structure eight feet from the existing height, installation of vehicle lift stations, exhaust systems and rooms for parts storage and offices. The administration areas included new spaces for state of the art communications systems for emergency dispatch and 911, complete with access flooring and new communications tower. The entire building received a new exterior skin, roof, site paving, and mechanical and electrical systems, including standby emergency backup power systems.
