Coakley & Williams Construction was the general contractor for the West Campus Expansion and Theater Renovation. The overall objective was to extend their main athletic facility by creating an auxiliary gymnasium with new locker rooms and a new strength and conditioning room. Directly adjacent and a component of the West Campus portion of the project was the creation of a new two-level Theater Support Building (TSB) containing a scene shop, rehearsal and costume storage, and office spaces. The School’s historic theater built in 1896 also underwent a complete gut and renovation of architectural, mechanical, electrical, and theatrical systems.

Dooley Hall

Owner: Gonzaga College High School Owner’s Rep: Advanced Project Management
Architect: MGMA

Coakley & Williams Construction provided preconstruction and construction services for Dooley Hall, a 2-phase renovation project that involved selective demolition and interior improvements. Phase 1 consisted of demolishing the existing masonry stairs, stadium seating, and slab on grade in preparation for new structural foundation work. Phase 2 consisted of interior renovations to the existing gymnasium, physical therapy, and training areas in the lower level of the building. The lower-level gymnasium was converted into a new weight room and fitness training facility, while the existing locker room facilities and trainer’s office were converted into a new physical therapy and rehabilitation area. The scope of work also included relocating existing Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) to make way for new MEP Equipment and infrastructure, along with new flooring, ceiling features, and millwork.

St. Aloysius Church

Owner: Gonzaga College High School
CM: Advanced Project Management

In January 2020, Coakley & Williams Construction returned to St. Aloysius Church on the campus of Gonzaga College High School to perform plaster repairs, lead paint stabilization and restoration of the historic painted coffered ceilings above the choir loft, and decorative accents surrounding the dome above the altar area of the church. Below the work area in the main altar is a priceless painting created by artist Constantino Brumidi, also famous for painting the frescoes in the rotunda of the United States Capitol. Through careful planning, execution and protective measures, a scaffold truss system was erected over the priceless painting to complete the dome restoration activities.

Named in honor of the 16th century Jesuit saint, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, the church was built in 1859. The church is on the National Historic registry.
