A construction manager at-risk delivery method allowed contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to get involved early in the design of the Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower at Children’s of Mississippi, a seven-story, 340,000-sq-ft expansion of the existing hospital.
The largest facility of its type in Brooklyn, the 400,000-sq-ft ambulatory care center houses 12 state-of-the-art operating rooms with specialty video systems, associated private pre-/post-op rooms for outpatient procedures, central sterile and scope processing facilities, a cancer center with a compounding pharmacy, and specialty areas for cardiology, orthopedics and imaging.
In just 60 days, the project team converted three hospital floors into a 120-bed intensive care unit to meet New York City’s urgent need for COVID-19 treatment facilities.
Built as a public-private partnership—a first for the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs—this three-level, 157,000-sq-ft outpatient care facility maximized the benefits of construction manager at-risk project delivery and concurrent designer-contractor collaboration.
