| Turner leads industry in hospital and medical research facility construction For the sixth consecutive year, and for 24 of the past 28 years, Modern Healthcare has ranked Turner Construction Company the number one construction manager in the United States.

Notable projects in 2012 include: The University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro in New Jersey, which doubles the size of the hospital's emergency facilities and demonstrates a commitment to sustainability with features such as a green roof and high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment; The South Patient Tower at Inova Fairfax in Falls Church, Virginia, which adds more than 170 private patient rooms to the hospital's campus; Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, one of the largest pediatric facilities in the country which benefited from the use of Lean construction methods and Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools; and Kaleida Health's Gates Vascular Institute in Buffalo, New York, which features high-efficiency plumbing fixtures and a host of other sustainable elements, equipment, and materials to create an efficient research and treatment facility on the University at Buffalo campus. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
