AEC Excellence Awards 2018

3 Best Projects in Construction

Taking a new view at how construction is approached and the dramatic, positive results when applied.

Baptist Health MD Anderson Cancer Center

Small Project (less than $100 Million)

Miller Electric Company

Serving the health needs of Jacksonville, Florida, the Baptist Health MD Anderson Cancer Center brings dedicated cancer care to North Florida. The new 9-story, 600,000-square-foot project opened on time in September of 2018.

At the height of the construction process in September of 2017, the construction team confronted a potential schedule buster that’s difficult to anticipate in even the best preconstruction planning—a hurricane. As Hurricane Irma headed towards Florida, Miller Electric Company looked at precise BIM plans for the project and rapidly changed them to account for the coming weather onslaught.

 

The University of Virginia Health System (UVA) University Hospital Expansion

Medium Project ($100 Million - $500 Million)

Skanska USA

The University of Virginia Health System (UVA) University Hospital Expansion will add 440,000 square feet of space to the most advanced medical facility in the western part of Virginia. With one of the region’s few trauma centers, UVA receives as many as 20 patients via helicopter each day. The construction manager, Skanska USA, and design team, Perkins+Will, used 3D construction models linked to schedules to deliver the project safely, and to keep the hospital’s helipad—located just 30 feet from construction cranes—in normal operation for 22 months.
