Scope Of Work

In 2006, MTMC announced plans to build a new 286-bed hospital to replace its 80-year-old facility. Groundbreaking festivities were held in early 2008, followed by a topping out ceremony six months later. The 556,361-square-foot facility is the focal point of a 68.5-acre medical campus. Two patient towers contain 286 al-private patient rooms. Other features include a 32-bed intensive care unit, a 21,000-square-foot emergency department, expanded maternity services, and a surgical suite with 10 operating rooms. Total cost for the construction project was estimated at $267 million. Completion was originally scheduled for August 2, 2010, with reports in fall 2009 that the project was ahead of schedule and construction wrapping up by June 15, 2010. The project has received significant cost and time savings from the use of the building information modeling as well as through the use of integrated project delivery. Turner utlized BIM to electronically detail the construction scheduling process.
