ROLLA, MO. — McCarthy Building Cos. Inc. has completed construction of the Delbert Day Cancer Institute at Phelps County Regional Medical Center in Rolla in central Missouri. The 37,000-square-foot cancer care facility occupies the first two levels of the new, four-story, 100,470-square-foot building constructed by McCarthy. Located at the north side of the main hospital campus, the $31.3 million building is connected to an adjacent medical office building via a pedestrian bridge.The new facility includes more than 63,000 square feet of medical office space to accommodate future tenants. The institute houses radiation therapies, nuclear medicine, infusion therapy, medical oncology and supporting lab and pharmacy services. To optimize efficiency, the project team employed Lean construction techniques, including the construction of prefabricated mechanical, engineering and plumbing systems, using building information modeling to reduce site waste. McCarthy also used advanced construction technologies such as a semi-automated robotic mason to enhance the efficiency of bricklaying. BSA LifeStructures designed the building.
