In mid-2020, construction firms Robins & Morton and Branch Builds partnered to break ground on a new, $300 million expansion to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital in Roanoke, Virginia. The expansion includes a cardiac patient tower — the Crystal Spring Tower —  and emergency department renovation. Nashville-based ESa is serving as the architect. The project is slated for completion in 2025.

Safety

Robins & Morton believes that a safe workplace is key to operational excellence. Our guiding principle is that safety must be the responsibility of everyone onsite. Therefore, there must be an established environment of care and concern. That care and concern starts with the managers’ continued focus on fostering an environment where all employees are guided by sound safety leadership, have access to appropriate training, are encouraged daily to work safe, held accountable for safe work and treated with respect. The expectation is ZERO INCIDENTS. To achieve zero incidents, we use a human performance philosophy. This approach incorporates an understanding of human and organizational performance, including human error with an emphasis on expected behaviors and consequence control methodologies to ensure risk minimization and elimination.
