Kadlec Medical Center

Groundbreaking took place May 30, 2006, on Kadlec Medical Center's new North Tower where Bouten Construction Company is serving as the General Contractor/Construction Manager. This $71.0 million expansion will add 150,000 square feet of space and it will connect to four floors of the existing Patient Tower, which was built in 1972. Construction is expected to be completed in Spring 2008.

The North Tower will include a new Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) that will be located on the First Floor. The CDU will be used for patients who are recovering from outpatient surgery, going through testing or those who need to be observed but not admitted to the Medical Center. The Second Floor will include 10 new Operating Rooms with two additional shelled ORs for future use. The Third Floor will include Central Processing & Distribution, staff support areas, and a Mechanical Room for the Tower. The Fourth Floor will be home to 28 private patient rooms which will support Kadlec Mecidal Center's strategy for converting their entire facility to all private rooms. The Fifth and Sixth Floors will be left vacant for future expansion.

Bouten Construction Company began providing preconstruction services on the North Tower project in August 2004. Bouten staff worked collaboratively with Kadlec Medical Center administrators and facility personnel, along with the Design Team which is headed by Curtis Group Architects (Dallas, TX). Bouten Construction Company has partnered with Kadlec Medical Center on a continuous basis since their first job on the Richland campus back in 1989.
