Medical expansion for long-time repeat client, Healthcare Corporation of America.
Hospital Corporation of America, a 20-plus-year repeat client, selected DonahueFavret to perform preconstruction and construction services for the renovation and addition to Rapides Regional Medical Center. The project was in the preconstruction phase for 6 months with detailed subcontractor input for scheduling as well as phasing/sequencing plans.
The project broke ground with the first phase being a new addition single-story waiting room/secure main check-in for patients to enter the hospital. The second phase was an addition and remodel of 22 emergency department rooms with x-ray, isolation labs and two new nursing stations. The final phase of the project was the renovation of a large portion of the existing hospital into new nursing areas. It also included a new psychiatric area that consisted of anti-ligature elements as well as an overhead door in each of the four rooms whereby all medical gases and plumbing fixtures could be isolated away from the patients.
