2,135SF expansion of the cath lab department including an interior renovation within the cath lab and an exterior expansion adjacent to two existing cath labs to increase OR capabilities at Flagstaff Medical Center — the new suite enables surgery and catheterization procedures in the same space.

The new hybrid cath lab operating room is lead shielded for x-ray use, and includes a CleanSuite System for laminar air flow, ultrasound equipment and injector booms with integrated med gas. The inventory of new spaces also includes a control room, equipment room, equipment storage room, hallway including scrub sink and mechanical room. The existing adjacent cath lab electrical closet, soiled utility room, and storage room received new upgraded finishes to match.

100% operational up-time of existing cath labs and operating rooms was essential to project success, and achieved through coordination with stakeholders and user groups. A specific example of this was the weekend switchover of the air handler unit, which took place between a Thursday night and Sunday night, during which the project team demolished and removed the existing airhandler, cleaned the new ducts, installed the new SEER rated air handling unit and connected process piping and ductwork, conducted test and balance and commissioning process, and removed all containments in time for scheduled Monday morning procedures in the existing cath labs.

ICRA, ILSM, and VPP safety plans appropriate to work in a sterile area were developed in partnership with hospital infection prevention team. As the hospital developed new COVID-19 vetting requirements, special check-in processes for ensuring no unvetted individuals had access to licensed space were created and implemented by the project management team with 100% accuracy

Working collaboratively with partners Arizona Oncology, NexCore Group, and Corgan, we recently delivered a new 23,000SF cancer center, serving patients in Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and Dewey-Humboldt.

State-of-the-art services to an expanding population

The cancer facility will allow AZ Oncology to offer medical oncology, surgical oncology, breast cancer treatment and diagnostics, urology services, radiation therapies (including HDR), diagnostic imaging (CT/PET, CT) laboratory diagnostics, genomic testing, nutrition services, oncology research and pharmacy, lab and hematology services. A 38-chair infusion area overlooks the garden and was prioritized to include natural light for the patients.

Our team sets the standard for the construction of hospitals, outpatient clinics, specialty clinics, behavioral health facilities, surgery centers and specialty imaging suites. Our commitment to health and safety is second to none, and we’re one of only six general contractors in Arizona to earn the prestigious VPP Star safety rating.

The Ambulatory Surgical Center is an extreme makeover of a former auto dealership and brings a state-of-the-art orthopedic surgery center and clinic to Flagstaff, AZ. This first 8,953SF phase of a 24,000SF multi-phase development includes 2 operating rooms and a single procedure room. Adaptive reuse of pre-existing buildings and infrastructure enabled a fast-track delivery of this new facility. Using existing infrastructure also enabled savings in utility connection fees and the development of roadway access points.
