Project at one of the nation’s largest safety net hospitals reaches key construction milestone
Atlanta, GA (June 17, 2015) – McCarthy Building Companies, one of the nation’s largest healthcare contractors, recently topped out a $52.7 million project at Grady Memorial Hospital, one of the nation’s largest safety net hospitals. McCarthy, along with its partner CCI, will provide a new six-story addition and major renovations to the emergency department. Construction will be completed in multiple phases in order to minimize impact on Grady’s campus.
The tower will create 90,000 square feet of new space, including a 15,000 square foot expansion of the emergency department for new patient care areas. It also provides new space for administrative and physician staff and patient support services. 75,000 square feet of the renovations are dedicated to the existing ground floor and will provide upgrades to the entire emergency department.
Upgraded areas, worth $18.4 million of contract value, will include the facility’s ten ambulance bays, public entrance, patient intake, waiting areas, staff support areas, in addition to the main emergency department treatment area.
“Grady is a critical component of Atlanta and the Southeast overall” said Kevin Kuntz, McCarthy’s Division President. “This is a challenging project due to the nature of Grady’s ongoing operations, and we are honored that Grady trusted us with this important expansion. They’ve been a great partner.”
