SCCF provides update on intern village project
The Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation (SCCF) reported that Stevens Construction has been making swift progress on the La Gorce Family Intern Village since breaking ground on May 4.
Located on Sanibel, the site was graded and building pads prepared; utility conduits for LCEC and Comcast were installed; and driveway base layers — subgrade and baserock — were partially in place as of July 15.
Vertical construction was underway: foundations for Buildings #1 and #2 were poured, the elevator pit slab and walls were complete, and shear walls for Building #1 were finished. Excavation for Building #3’s foundation had also begun.
Designed for resilience, the 30-bed facility will house seasonal interns for SCCF and its partners — the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum & Aquarium and Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW). Completion is anticipated by the spring, in time for the sea turtle nesting season.
