Thhe team of Parker Architects and Waldrop Construction was chosen to design and devlop this facility.

Some unusual features of this design, were a post-tensioned concrete slab that could be built faster and more economically than a normal slab. Most Nursing home structures are made of a wood framed walls and trusses. Waldrop worked with NUCOR steel company to build prefabricated metal walls and trusses offsite at the NUCOR steel factory. These were then delivered pre-assembled to the site, where they were quickly assembled into a complete structure. This made the Stephenville project virtually fire-proof. Decorative sconces and coffered ceilings, along with quality doors and windows, give the building a timeless elegance. The Waldrop-Parker teamed delivered the project at a cost of around $90 per square foot, making the building a sucessfull business investment. The Owner considers the project to be a terrific success, and a premiere retirement location.
