Solution

Serving as project manager, Hammes led an extensive site selection process for the replacement hospital, resulting in the selection of an 87-acre site in a well-established suburban community with easy access from the highway. Hammes also provided full project management services, preparing the comprehensive project budget and schedule, and assisting in the selection of the project team, including the architect, general contractor, medical equipment planner, and all additional vendors.

In addition, the building infrastructure was designed to support a planned expansion of the ED and surgical suite, as well as a 36-bed patient tower expansion.
