CHICAGO — The temporary conversion of a portion of Chicago’s McCormick Place Convention Center into an alternate care facility for COVID-19 patients is expected to be complete by Friday, April 24. Walsh Construction, the contractor for the project, completed the first 500 beds earlier this month. The facility will have the capacity to treat up to 3,000 low-to-moderate acuity patients across three of the convention center’s halls. Patients will be separated by the level of care required. The Metropolitan Pier and Exposition Authority and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are directing the conversion of the temporary field hospital. The project is designed to relieve pressure on the city’s hospital system by freeing up beds for more patients with severe COVID-19 cases in anticipation of a surge in positive diagnoses. Stantec provided design and engineering services for the project.

FLORISSANT, MO. — Tarlton Corp. has completed the conversion of a Quality Inn hotel in Florissant into the state’s first alternate care facility to treat non-acute COVID-19 patients. The facility, if needed, will serve as backup for patients referred by St. Louis-area hospitals. Members of the Missouri National Guard will staff the facility. Tarlton worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the project, as well as Ross & Baruzzini, Rock Hill Mechanical Corp. and Guarantee Electrical Co. The 4.5-day project yielded more than 100 patient rooms on the four floors of the 130-room hotel. The team built a nurse’s station on each floor and turned the existing phone system into a nurse call system. The project assignment came just hours after Tarlton President Tracy Hart and COO Dirk Elsperman lost their father, Bob Elsperman, to COVID-19. Bob Elsperman led Tarlton from 1972 to1999. He was admitted to a St. Louis-area hospital on March 30 and died eight days later at the age of 83.
