Client Testimonial

Through your team’s ability to incorporate 3-D Building Information Modeling (BIM), we know that the field coordination will be seamless in your transition from preconstruction to operations. Exceeding expectations is often sold, but rarely achieved. I can truthfully say that you have exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

Project Description

Square Footage: 623,260
Location: El Paso, TX

The hospital is the only non-profit hospital in El Paso and is one of the largest children's hospitals in the area. MMC Contractors was selected to provide complete preconstruction and construction services for all mechanical areas for the large expansion project for the facility. We connected utilities to the central utility plant in addition to fabricating and installing all plumbing, medical gas, and HVAC in the 623,260 square foot hospital. The hospital is associated with the Texas Tech University Medical Center and the new construction will allow for improved site circulation and integration with the medical school.

The project is being constructed in phases with the main bed tower expansion started prior to the children's hospital. The bed tower expansion and renovation portion of the project includes: a new emergency department; level one trauma expansion and renovation; operating rooms; and interventional treatment areas such as cardiology, orthopedics and general surgery. The new, 224,500 square foot women's and children's hospital will include pediatric surgery operating rooms, 60 pediatric private rooms, 20 pediatric intensive care and 50 neonatal intensive care beds, pediatric rehabilitation services area and much more, all in a family friendly environment.
