LeChase Construction Services has begun the renovation and expansion of Open Door Family Medical Center facilities in two downtown Ossining, New York buildings. The buildings, at 2 Church St. and 165 Main St., sit across the street from each other, but are from vastly different eras. LeChase will freshen the 1970s stucco Church Street structure with a modern glass façade, but will preserve the front of the 19th-century Main Street building.
The Open Door Family Medical Center provides accessible healthcare services in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess and Ulster counties, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Its network is comprised of seven family medical centers, nine school-based health centers and a mobile dental van.
The project, designed by CannonDesign, will reconfigure the Main Street medical center, where most healthcare services are provided. The building at 2 Church St. houses administrative offices and a wellness center. When completed, each building will contain both medical care spaces and offices.
Work at 2 Church St. includes a gut renovation of a 25,000-square-foot building. A 3,000-square-foot addition will be built, encased in glass with a staircase to Church Street that wraps around to become public seating facing the Old Croton Aqueduct walking path. A staff entrance/exit will lead to a patio for staff use facing the walking path. The building will house ambulatory care and behavioral health services and is expected to be completed by early 2025. At that time, renovations will begin on the 22,000-square-foot Main Street building, which was built as a department store and retrofitted for Open Door. Crews will bolster the wooden frame to strengthen the structure. The project is expected to be complete by mid-2026.
