Lean construction supports successful fast-track delivery of the Critical Care Vertical Expansion project

As one of the leading healthcare builders in the nation, Gilbane provided construction management services for MetroHealth’s Critical Care Pavilion (CCP) Vertical Expansion project. The project included the vertical expansion of two additional floors over existing active operating rooms and the active emergency department, with 85 new critical care rooms designed with maximum flexibility for the future. The CCP is one of the nation’s most technologically advanced centers for emergency medicine, trauma, and surgical care and reflects MetroHealth’s standing as Cleveland’s highest-accredited trauma center.

Project Overview

“It is quite amazing what can and does happen when we all focus on what needs to get done and what is possible, rather than only on the barriers to achievement. There are really no limits to the power of unselfish collaboration when it is focused on legitimate outcomes.”
