Saint Joseph Health System | SJRMC OR Renovation

Posted on April 1, 2024

Completed with No Interruptions

The St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka, IN is equipped to take on the needs of patients in the coming years thanks to a series of updates. With Weigand serving as the Construction Manager on this project, we renovated their 15 operating rooms (which were upgraded with new booms and flooring), their Cath and IR departments, and a buildout of a hybrid operating room with 7 additional patient rooms in their CIU shell space. We kept this project on schedule, creating a system that allowed St. Joseph’s medical procedures to run at 100% efficiency.

Safe and Sanitary

Because hospitals maintain various sanitation standards, there were certain hallways and rooms that we could not occupy during construction. By designing specific routes to each location, our crews were able to work in two rooms at a time. In this way, they could to go in and out of the hospital without interfering with staff or risking breach of sanitation codes.

Designed for Success

Now surgeons, nurses, and other medical staff have access to the space and technology required to perform their work. As a result, patients from the Mishawaka can continue to receive only the best of care.

Lippert Components | New Beamline Facility

Posted on April 30, 2019

Lippert Components is the leading supplier of components to the recreational vehicle and residential housing industries, as well as adjacent industries including bus, cargo and equestrian trailer, marine, and heavy truck. With over 65 facilities located throughout the United States, Canada, Ireland, Italy, and the United Kingdom, their more than 9,000 team members work together to bring innovative product solutions to market every day.

After acquiring many functioning facilities over the years in the Elkhart/Goshen area, the new Beamline Processing Facility was the first new construction project that the company has seen in the midwest in quite a while. Located on a ten-acre site within the Lippert Components manufacturing complex in Goshen, Indiana, the 110,000 square foot, multi-million dollar facility was created to enhance the manufacture of I-beams that form the framework of nearly every chassis it produces.

“This is a flexible production system that is able to take individual customer orders, match them to the specification required and produce the finished I-beam, ready to be built into a chassis,” explained Philip Wiltshire, Director of LCI’s Manufacturing Engineering.

Byron Wellness Community

Posted on July 16, 2020

A New Home for Byron

Located in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Byron Health Center was founded in 1853 as a place for six downtrodden county residents to live on a farm, and over the years was used as a tuberculosis sanitarium, a place to treat cholera and a county “poor farm.”

Fast forward to 2020, where Byron officials describe it as a community that provides long-term care for those who need specialty skilled nursing. Originally constructed as a short-term stay hospital, their old facility out on Lima road was just not fit for their current residents. Residents come to stay for the rest of their adult lives – some as long as 30 years or more – and their new space needed to feel more like home, and less like a shared room with curtain dividers and hospital beds.

Investing In The Community

The $38 million investment was partially funded by $12.5 million in New Market Tax Credits, the most ever awarded to a single project by the city of Fort Wayne. Their new campus is located along the corridor of Lake Avenue and Beacon Street, just steps away from Parkview Randallia Hospital and the VA Hospital of Fort Wayne.
Built with purpose, the neighborhood style of the community was designed with their residents quality of life in mind.

“They’re going to be able to go outside whenever they chose to go outside because they won’t need a staff member to go outside with them,” said Byron CEO Deb Lambert. “We designed our outside space to be very safe for them. All of the bathrooms are handicap accessible so as long as they can safely transfer, they’re going to be able to shower independently which is something they’re not able to do right now.”
