Loven Contracting of Flagstaff recently completed the transformation of an empty furniture store into an ultramodern pediatric healthcare facility. The complete interior remodel of the old La-Z-Boy furniture store on Highway 89 adapted the space for reuse as the new Northern Arizona Healthcare Children’s Health Center. Loven Contracting executed the innovative design for the pediatric healthcare center in partnership with Corgan, a leading architecture and design firm that started more than 80 years ago.

“The existing ‘big box’ retail building lent itself well to adaptive reuse and the design-plus-build process,” said Loven Contracting President Mike Loven. “There were significant deferred maintenance and water infiltration issues, but our team addressed them in the early phases of the project and transformed it into a state-of-the-art healthcLEare facility.”
