Winter Haven Hospital
Winter Haven, Florida

The Winter Haven Hospital West Expansion was a multiple phase project involving renovation of the existing facility and new construction of a three level addition. The first phase involved the construction of a new temporary entrance to the hospital. The second phase of the project involved closing and demolishing the existing main entrance and replacing the eight-story west elevation of the existing hospital's exterior envelope. The remaining phases of the project involved the new addition including construction of a new grand lobby, a wellness center, conference area, new financial counseling offices, outpatient exam rooms, six new state-of-the-art operating rooms, 29 post anesthesia care unit (PACU) beds, 20 prep/recovery beds for endoscopy, a new endoscopy suite, a new pharmacy, and a new ultrasound area.

Heavy premiums were placed on continuous coordination with the general contractor and the hospital facility to minimize disruption to the hospital's daily operations and maintain the safety of both the patients and hospital staff during construction. Due to the nature of the work and the proximity of construction activities to occupied patient areas, the project team used diligent care and effort designing and implementing infection control systems and temporary barricades to ensure patient and staff safety.
