The facility is a 17,000 square foot treatment facility. The facility is laid out to provide privacy with 12 individual patient care rooms in a cottage design setting. This attractive facility has already been recognized by the State of Michigan AIA awards committee, and nationally by Nursing Home Design Awards.

Lifespan Hospice

Lifespan Hospice added an important dimension to its end-of-life care with its new Good Samaritan Hospice Residence.  This facility provides a vital link in the continuum of care for those suffering from a life-limiting condition.  The property features hills, ponds, and trees in a beautiful natural setting. Creating such a virtual “oasis” amid a commercial area was no small challenge for CSM Group and the project architect, Diekema Hamman, but it was an essential element.

American Red Cross

The opening of the new office facility for the Greater Kalamazoo Area Chapter of The American Red Cross culminated years of dreaming, fundraising and planning for hundreds of staff and community volunteers. The new facility is brightened by a combination of natural light sources, large perimeter windows and numerous cathedral skylights, as well as tasteful theme interior lighting schemes.

Cheff Therapeutic Riding Center

This project is a 27,000 SF arena facility for equestrian use to support those with disabilities. This unique facility was contracted under a Design / Build agreement to reconstruct a facility that collapsed in a Dec. 2000 snowstorm. The design was developed around the need for full accessibility to those with disabilities.

This project included demolition of the existing pool and a small bathhouse to allow the addition of a new 25-yard, six lane, indoor pool with locker rooms, storage and mechanical support spaces. The main entrance and lobby for the entire facility was relocated to the west side, closer to the main parking lot and incorporated into the addition. An existing power company transmission line and easement, along with the existing parking lot placed tight limitations on the possible location and orientation of the addition.

The Ott Biological Preserve - Floating Boardwalk project consists of two floating boardwalks that span across low/swampy areas in the Preserves North Country Trail System. The boardwalk also incorporated another of Calhoun County Community Development's programs by including a historical reconditioned bridge that was air lifted into the preserve. The project was completed in the winter months to take advantage of the frozen soil conditions.
