Parkview Health serves hundreds of thousands of people in communities across multiple counties. It became evident that there was a need to bolster critical care and emergency services in the area. As a result, the concept for a healthcare campus was born. The Parkview Regional Medical Center sits on a 115-acre campus in the northern sector of Fort Wayne. With Weigand operating as the construction manager, the grounds feature several medical offices, hospitals, and outpatient services which were completed in 2012.
The medical center is a 1,100,000 square foot campus that retains 446 beds for inpatients and outpatients. It provides imaging, pharmaceuticals, laboratory research, and other additional functions based on patron’s needs with the latest technology and the best medical practice.
Since its original construction in 2012, the PRMC has made additions to increase the range of its medical care offerings. Expansions like the South Tower and the Packnett Family Cancer Institute brought more beds, dedicated space, and resources for healthcare staff to better aid their patients.
Due to the size and scope of the project, Weigand paired with fellow construction management firm Pepper Construction to form a joint safety partnership. This created clear, effective communication and helped to maintain the safety plan across all the parties involved in the project. As a result, this partnership’s performance received the CCS Outstanding Project Safety Award.
