We were honored to join Thornton Construction Company, Inc., Florida International University, Florida International University - Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, and Baptist Health to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new $158 million Helen and Jacob Shaham Academic Medical Center. The seven-story, 163,000-square-foot facility, slated to open in 2028, will feature academic learning spaces and outpatient multi-specialty services, including same-day surgery and diagnostic imaging. These services will make it easier for the community to access high-quality outpatient care while helping train the next generation of physicians. We are excited to partner with Stantec as the architect for this project. Read more about how this facility will serve our community: bit.ly/43HtNUm #BuildingWithPurpose
Meet Dusty, the friendly-faced layout expert who stands just inches tall. This robot prints digital model data directly onto the jobsite floor, quickly providing a multi-trade layout “map” while maintaining accuracy to 1/16 inch. This winter, our project team at Huntsville Hospital Madison Street Tower — a $150 million five-story vertical expansion that adds 120 patient rooms to the hospital — had the opportunity to give Dusty a test run, and the results were remarkable. Here’s a look at how it works, its key benefits, and the lessons the team learned along the way: bit.ly/40QypX5
