Set on 10 acres of Allegheny Health Network’s Wexford, Pa., campus, the new 360,000-sq-ft AHN hospital aims to offer elevated levels of healing and comfort to patients and visitors. The facility features rooftop gardens, valet parking and patient rooms designed to minimize the stress associated with hospital stays. For construction manager at-risk Gilbane Building Co. and its JV partner Massaro Corp., delivering this vision required early engagement with its partners and the design team to complete the project on time and on budget in August 2021.
With a total project cost of $313 million, the hospital represents the single-largest new facility investment in AHN’s history. The hospital, which broke ground in October 2018, features 160 inpatient beds, an emergency department, eight operating rooms, sterile processing and an imaging and diagnostics department.
