Batson-Cook Tops Out $195M Northside Hospital Cherokee in Metro Atlanta

CANTON, GA. — Batson-Cook Construction has topped out the $195 million Northside Hospital Cherokee project in Canton, a northern suburb of Atlanta in Cherokee County. The 525,000-square-foot hospital will replace Northside’s existing 200,000-square-foot, 96-bed hospital on Hospital Road. Since breaking ground in early 2013, the construction project has encompassed 508 tons of steel and 700,000 cubic feet of concrete. Batson-Cook and the joint venture architectural firms of HRD/HDR worked with Northside Hospital for more than two years during the pre-construction phase of the project. Batson-Cook plans to deliver the replacement hospital in January 2017. The Northside Hospital healthcare system is an 838-bed, not-for-profit healthcare provider with more than 120 locations across metro Atlanta, including three acute care hospitals in Fulton, Cherokee and Forsyth counties.
