Construction firm Robins & Morton joined Carilion Clinic and Virginia-based construction firm Branch Builds on June 17 to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital’s new Crystal Spring Tower in Roanoke, Virginia.
The 12-story tower in Carilion’s flagship hospital spans more than 500,000 square feet and houses Carilion’s Cardiovascular Institute, the region’s only Level 1 trauma center, and an expanded Emergency Department.
“This ribbon cutting celebrates much more than a facility,” said Steve Arner, President and CEO of Carilion. “This marks the culmination of years of hard work to ensure that our region has access to the most modern and advanced care for decades to come.”
The tower is designed to evolve with tomorrow’s healthcare, featuring flexible spaces that adapt to new and changing technologies, patient rooms that can accommodate various types of care, and procedure areas with expansion capacity to accommodate the latest equipment. Features include a helipad, new trauma bays including a dedicated pediatric trauma bay, operating rooms, catheterization/electrophysiology labs, pre/post procedural beds and more.
“For nearly four years, our team members, in partnership with Branch Builds, have remained dedicated to delivering this state-of-the-art facility to our Roanoke community,” Robins & Morton Vice President Mark Mattox said. “To see their hard work and commitment in building this tower that will bring life-saving care to this region is a rewarding experience for our entire team, and we are grateful to Carilion Clinic for their trust.”
Robins & Morton and Branch Builds partnered in a joint venture as the general contractor. Nashville-based ESa served as the project architect.
