Fayetteville, NC – Apr 4, 2025 – O’Connor Company, a leading name in commercial construction specializing in delivering high-quality projects across diverse sectors, is proud to announce it has been awarded the contract for the new Fayetteville State University Health and Wellness Center, a $10.4 million project that underscores the company’s continued commitment to building community-driven, high-impact facilities across the Southeast.
The 24,500-square-foot, two-story wellness center will feature a 17,000-square-foot main level and a 7,500-square-foot second floor. Designed for durability and function, the structure will incorporate concrete foundations, CMU foundation walls, and a concrete slab-on-grade first floor. The upper floor and roof will be constructed using conventional structural steel framing, metal decking, and a Tectum roof deck.
The exterior façade will blend EIFS and an Exterior Wall Panel System, while the building will be topped with a high-performance TPO membrane roof. Interior design details include cold-formed metal framing with gypsum board partitions, CMU walls around the locker room areas, and specialized flooring tailored to each space—rubberized surfaces for fitness areas, porcelain tile for locker rooms and wet zones, sheet vinyl for general areas, and exposed concrete for mechanical and electrical rooms.
“Putting together a construction project estimate is a very collaborative and detail-driven process that requires a team effort to ensure accuracy and efficiency,” said Christine Furlich, Estimator at O’Connor Company. “Our team strives for this on every project and were able to accomplish it. I am proud of the OCC Preconstruction team that was able to develop this comprehensive, competitive bid for ownership, thrilled to have been awarded the project and excited to see the final outcome of the FSU Health and Wellness Center!”
With substantial completion targeted by the end of 2025, the project will follow an aggressive schedule requiring strong procurement planning, subcontractor coordination, and milestone tracking. O’Connor Company is well-positioned to deliver on this timeline, leveraging its experience and disciplined approach from preconstruction through closeout.
