McCarthy Building Companies recently broke ground on the $243-million, 351,000-square-foot Banner Gateway Medical Center Tower and Emergency Department expansion and renovation project, located at 1900 N. Higley Road in Gilbert, Ariz. The expansion essentially doubles the size of the medical center campus, addressing growing needs for women and infant care and cancer care by bringing an additional patient tower, an expanded diagnostics and treatment area and more parking.
Some of the innovative cost- and time-saving measures on the Banner Gateway project include prefabrication of the exterior skin; project delivery completed in five separate design packages, allowing construction to start prior to design-phase completing; and construction of all three building expansions occurring simultaneously.
