OLOL Emergency Department and East Tower Addition
Owner: Our Lady of the Lake Hospital, Inc.
General Contractor: Womack-Dunn Construction Team
Architect: VOA+BBA Design Partnership
Completion Date: Summer 2013
A 10 story addition was built on the old Mary Bird Perkins site of the Our Lady of the Lake main hospital location. The current Level 1 Trauma Center was upgraded and expanded with the insertion of an elevated helipad as well. WTC performed den glass sheathing and damp-proofing. This allowed a decrease in costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the owner, while saving months from the original schedule. Special scaffolding support systems were designed and engineered by WTC. This involved the use of temporary structural steel, adjustable bracing, and elevations over roof tops due to in use medical buildings.
