🚧 Good Samaritan Hospital’s Seismic Safety Project Begins! 🚧 We’re thrilled to announce the approval of the first phase of our $1.2 billion seismic safety project! 🎉 This milestone includes a state-of-the-art 658-space parking garage, a $71.7 million investment to enhance accessibility for our patients, staff, and visitors. The six-floor garage will replace an outdated structure on the east side of campus, paving the way for a new seismic-compliant hospital tower to meet California’s 2030 safety standards. 💬 “Our commitment to patient safety and community health drives every decision we make,” shared Patrick Rohan, CEO of Good Samaritan Hospital. “This parking garage is a critical first step in transforming our campus to meet seismic standards while ensuring seamless care access.” 🏗️ The project, scheduled to break ground in 2025, will not only support our 55,000+ annual patients but also create around 1,000 construction jobs. A big thank you to the San Jose City Council and our community for supporting this vital initiative! Together, we’re building a safer future for everyone. 💙 #SeismicSafety #GoodSamStrong #BuildingForTheFuture

🏥 Building Resilience: Why Pediatric Hospitals Trust LWIC for Roof Decks 🌟 In pediatric hospitals, every detail matters—from patient care to the materials that ensure the safety and longevity of the building. Lightweight Insulating Concrete (LWIC) stands out as the ideal choice for these critical facilities. Here's why: 🔥 Hourly Fire Ratings: LWIC provides exceptional fire-resistive properties, a non-negotiable for healthcare environments prioritizing safety. 💪 Longevity & Durability: The robust roof deck and substrate eliminate the need for frequent re-roofs, reducing maintenance interruptions in these essential spaces. 🚀 Accelerated Production: LWIC speeds up the roofing process, ensuring faster project delivery while maintaining quality and reliability. Pediatric hospitals require solutions that last, protect, and perform—and LWIC is designed to meet those exacting standards. 📢 Shoutout to Vaughn Construction and McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. for their leadership in constructing healthcare facilities that serve our youngest and most vulnerable patients. #LWIC #HealthcareConstruction #PediatricHospitals #FireSafety #Longevity #RoofingInnovation #BuildingResilience

#MissionAccomplished 🌟 Replacing the roof of our hospital’s patient tower was a crucial $2 million investment that has had a profound impact on our ability to provide high-quality care to our patients and maintain a safe, comfortable environment for our staff. Prior to the roof replacement, our facility faced numerous challenges due to the aging and deteriorating condition of the roof. Leaks were a common occurrence, causing disruptions to patient care and potentially compromising the sterility of our medical equipment and supplies. Water damage to ceilings, walls, and floors created potential safety hazards and an unsightly appearance that detracted from the healing atmosphere we strive to maintain at HCA Houston Healthcare Mainland. The leaks also posed risks to our sensitive medical equipment, such as MRI machines and CT scanners, which are critical for diagnosing and treating our patients. Any damage to this equipment could have resulted in costly repairs or replacements, and more importantly, interruptions to patient care. By undertaking this comprehensive roof replacement project, we have addressed these issues head-on. The new roof provides a reliable barrier against the elements, ensuring that our facility remains dry and free from leaks. This, in turn, protects our medical equipment, minimizes disruptions to patient care, and allows our staff to focus on their primary mission of delivering exceptional healthcare services. Moreover, the new roof has improved the energy efficiency of our facility. With proper insulation and advanced roofing materials, we can now better regulate the temperature and humidity levels within the building. This not only enhances patient and staff comfort but also helps us reduce our energy consumption and operating costs, allowing us to allocate more resources to direct patient care initiatives. The completion of this roof replacement project demonstrates our commitment to maintaining a state-of-the-art healthcare facility that prioritizes patient well-being and staff satisfaction. By investing in our infrastructure, we are ensuring that our facility can continue to serve as a beacon of healing and hope for our community for years to come. I’d like to thank our expert roofing consultant - Patty Hall, Andrew Nelson - President of Trident Construction, Inc., and the entire team who we had the pleasure of collaborating with on this important project. #HCA #HCAHouston #HealthcareLeadership #ProjectManagement #HealthcareOperations

Interesting read on 5 year per SF costs on 3 story hospital buildings: https://lnkd.in/e_Sx3KiG National average increased by 19.9 % from 2020 with New York leading the way at $575.76 per SF (a 16.5% increase). With these lofty spends (which only seem to increase), predictability for pricing, budgets and schedules is extremely important. Multi-trade, modular construction can greatly assist with predictability in pricing and planning, be it ceilings, walls, or other products. We at #DIRTT pride ourselves on being one of the best #multitrade #modular investments to accomplish this goal, helping all stake holders save time and increase #ROI on a project delivery. Thank you Steve Kennedy for sharing this article.
