BALFOUR BEATTY | MCCARTHY TOPS OUT $536M MEDICAL CENTER

FORT HOOD, TEXAS — The Balfour Beatty | McCarthy team has topped off its design-build services for the Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center Replacement at Fort Hood. The $536 million medical center replacement is the largest project to date funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The 947,000-square-foot project is also the largest design-build project in the Department of Defense's medical construction. The new hospital will replace the existing Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center and will provide healthcare services for service members and their families. The project sits on a 72-acre site and will include a six-story hospital tower, two two-story outpatient clinics, a three-story outpatient clinic, ambulance garage, logistics building, central utility plant and three parking structures. The Balfour Beatty | McCarthy team held a topping off ceremony with members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Health Facilities Planning Agency and Medical Command. Construction is scheduled for completion in July 2014, with operations to start in summer 2015.
