by Brianna Crandall — November 7, 2014—Brasfield & Gorrie announced November 3 that construction is underway on an $84.5 million vertical expansion and renovation at Medical City Hospital in Dallas, Texas.
The 288,600 sq. ft. project includes a 220,000 sq. ft., seven-story vertical expansion above the existing emergency department and ambulance drop-off, where the hospital admits more than 65 percent of its patients. Work will also include nearly 68,600 sq. ft. of phased interior renovations within multiple departments on the campus, including surgery, medical oncology, surgical oncology, stem cell, emergency department and cardiac diagnostic unit.
Brasfield & Gorrie has performed eleven renovations at Medical City. Although the scope of this renovation and expansion project will be the largest to date, the team has reportedly been able to minimize impact and disruption to patient traffic and access.
Serving as general contractor, Brasfield & Gorrie’s Nashville office is teaming with owner HCA and architect Perkins+Will on this project, which will be completed in 2016.
Celebrating 50 years in business, Brasfield & Gorrie is said to be one of the nation’s largest privately held construction firms, providing general contracting, design-build, and construction management services for a wide variety of markets, including health care, commercial, institutional, federal, municipal, industrial, infrastructure, and water/wastewater treatment. The firm serves clients from offices in several Southeastern states, with approximately 2,600 employees. Engineering News-Record ranked Brasfield & Gorrie 22nd among the nation’s “Top 400 Contractors” for 2014.
