Wappacomo Hall Assisted Living Dining Room Renovation

Continuing a Trusted Partnership at Wappacomo Hall

After building a trusted relationship with Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury while completing the Villa Homes, Warfel was invited back for another renovation on campus. The Wappacomo Hall project focused on a 1,844 square foot dining room within the assisted living apartment wing. Located in Winchester, Virginia, the two month renovation refreshed the room’s layout, finishes, and appliances. Although smaller in scale, the work offered another opportunity to serve a familiar client through careful planning and execution. The scope centered on opening the adjoining office to the dining room and thoughtfully bringing both areas together through the renovation.

Opening the Existing Office to the Dining Room

The existing dining room connected to an office through a set of doors along the adjoining wall. Warfel removed the wall and doors, opening the former office to the surrounding space. This selective demolition created room for a small kitchenette and self-service snack area, along with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances. By bringing the two areas together, the revised layout made these new features feel like a natural part of the dining room.

Refreshing the Wappacomo Hall Dining Room

Beyond the layout changes, the work refreshed the entire dining room. New flooring, ceiling, trim, paint, and lighting updated finishes throughout the space. New countertops, cabinets, and appliances completed the kitchenette and helped define the self-service snack area. Together, these updates connected the former office area with the surrounding dining room. The full refresh also gave the kitchenette a natural place within the space. Each finish and fixture contributed to one coordinated renovation across the full room.

Coordinating the Two Month Schedule

Because the schedule lasted two months, the work required close coordination from demolition through final finishes. Selective demolition first prepared the former office for the kitchenette and snack area. Once that area opened, cabinetry, countertops, appliances, lighting, and finish work followed the revised layout. Throughout construction, Warfel kept each part of the scope connected to the room’s broader refresh. This approach carried the layout changes and finish updates forward within the established schedule. It also kept the new service area connected to the surrounding dining space.

Continuing the Relationship

The completed Wappacomo Hall dining room brings the refreshed dining area, kitchenette, and self-service snack space together in one welcoming setting. The renovation also reflects the trust developed through the Villa Homes and continued Warfel’s relationship with Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury. While modest in scale, the project offered another opportunity to serve a familiar client and thoughtfully improve an important space on campus.

Ranson Primary Care & Lab Medical Office Building

Meeting Growing Community Needs

The Ranson Primary Care & Lab medical office building brings together primary care and diagnostic services within a coordinated setting in Ranson, West Virginia. Developed on a greenfield site, the facility aligns with Valley Health’s focus on delivering accessible, patient-centered care while supporting efficient daily operations. Because of this, the space is organized to support both clinical workflows and a clear, comfortable experience for patients and staff. The layout also supports intuitive movement throughout the building, helping reduce confusion and improve overall efficiency.

Medical Office Building Design and Services

This medical office building includes 16 exam rooms and three treatment rooms to support primary care services. It also features an X-ray suite and a clean room, which allow for expanded diagnostic and treatment capabilities. As a result, patients can access both primary care and outpatient laboratory services in one location. The facility also includes a community room, staff offices, and a break room with lockers, which support both patient engagement and staff operations. Administrative spaces are integrated throughout to maintain efficient workflows and support daily coordination across teams.

Coordinated Medical Office Building Delivery

Warfel partnered with Valley Health to deliver this facility alongside a related project in Winchester, Virginia. Because both locations were developed in tandem, coordination remained a central part of the process. Careful planning helped maintain alignment between teams while supporting consistent outcomes across both sites. As a result, the project progressed with a clear focus on communication and efficient delivery. This approach also helped streamline decision-making and maintain consistency across both project locations.

Supporting Long-Term Community Needs

The completed medical office building strengthens access to healthcare services within the surrounding community. Its layout supports a range of services within a single, easy-to-navigate environment. Because of this, patients benefit from a more streamlined care experience when receiving treatment. The inclusion of shell space allows for future expansion, supporting Valley Health’s long-term goals as community needs evolve. This flexibility ensures the facility can adapt over time while continuing to support both providers and patients.
