Meeting and exceeding client expectations on six-phase renovation and expansion within fully operational hospital

The renovation and expansion of the 45,000-SF existing Adult Emergency Department located on the ground floor of the Vanderbilt Clinic, doubled the space’s original size with dedicated treatment and specialist spaces, allowing the hospital to treat more patients and provide them with better care in an efficient space. The Gilbane team completed benchmark rooms ahead of schedule as well as a mock-up for the exterior skin of the new building for quality control purposes.
