Cathedral Village Corridor Renovations and Facade Work
Warfel Construction completed the Cathedral Village Corridor Renovations & Facade Upgrades project for Presbyterian Senior Living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 38,975 square foot project refreshed facades and renovated existing corridors across multiple occupied campus buildings. Because residents remained on campus, the work required phasing, containment, and daily coordination. Presbyterian Senior Living needed continuous operations throughout the 14 month phased schedule.
The project moved through five main phases across buildings R1, B, C, L, and K. Instead of spreading work across several buildings at once, Warfel followed a planned sequence through the campus. This approach kept construction activity within defined zones that the project team could manage carefully. As each building phase advanced, the work stayed connected to the logistics plan established before construction began.
Moving Through the Campus in Sequence
Occupied senior living renovations require steady awareness of the setting. In this case, construction activity took place in spaces residents used as part of daily life. Therefore, the phasing plan helped contain work while residents continued living on campus. The sequence also gave Presbyterian Senior Living a clearer path for maintaining access and operations during each phase.
Warfel’s plan moved from one building to the next in a controlled order. Meanwhile, containment helped separate construction zones from the rest of the occupied campus. That process helped reduce unnecessary disruption while corridor and facade work progressed. Just as importantly, the approach reflected that the project site was also home for residents.
Managing the Cathedral Village Corridor Sequence
Before preconstruction, Warfel developed a construction logistics plan for how work would take place on site. During construction, the work followed that plan closely. Each phase had to account for resident movement, campus operations, and defined work areas. As a result, the process stayed focused on managing activity rather than widening disruption across the campus.
The logistics plan also guided work around shared corridors and building access. While the summary scope was straightforward, the occupied setting made coordination especially important. Each phase needed to move forward without losing sight of the daily routines around it.
Respecting Residents Through Phased Work
The completed work upgraded interior walkways and refreshed facades across Cathedral Village. The Cathedral Village Corridor work reflects a practical renovation process shaped by sequencing and resident awareness. For Presbyterian Senior Living, the project maintained active campus operations while Warfel worked through each building phase.
