Ward-Davis Builders is overseeing the renovation of MFC’s South Healthcare Entrance
SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Mennonite Friendship Communities announced today a renovation project with Ward Davis Builders. Renovation begins April 2025 and will be completed mid-summer.
“We are excited to begin our first phase of renovation at MFC! Through the caring and generosity of our friends and families, this begins our campus-wide effort to update and modernize the home of our residents. We are humbled by all who continue to be interested in the services and successes of Mennonite Friendship Communities.” (Dawn Veh, Executive Director)
“Ward Davis Builders are pleased to partner with MFC on this renovation. The South entrance may now merely be an employee entrance, but it is the first-place people see when they drive into MFC. The project will run about four months. There will be some design work and a few special-order items, so we will start mid-to-late April.” (Ward Davis)
The benefits of this renovation include:
Updated Structure – This entrance has been in place for nearly 50 years and shows an incredible amount of wear. The support columns and framework have experienced significant moisture
damage, peeling paint, warping, and cracking, leading to a poor first impression.
Modern Appearance – This entryway is one of the most important features of our MFC Healthcare location and is the first thing that our residents and families see when they arrive on campus. In addition to functional improvements (lighting, flooring, improved flow), this updated space sets the tone for the great care that happens within.
Energy Efficiency – This renovation offers significant benefits with the updated structure, window treatments, and lighting, leading to lower utility bills and long-term cost savings.
