Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital's New ADL Courtyard

New England Rehabilitation Hospital's Newly Renovated 2 North Patient Wing.

In October of 2006, healthcare services company Five Star Quality Care, Inc. begin operating New England Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital in Braintree, Mass. With both hospitals in need of major renovations, Five Star and Levi + Wong Design Associates contacted Carr Enterprises for preconstruction services which initially included budgeting for a new transformer and electrical service, entrance site improvements, a new main entrance for visitors and staff, as well as interior renovation work for the Woburn site. Carr completed the site improvements and the new main entrance in Woburn in early 2008, and recently completed work on the 2-North patient room upgrades. The firm is also providing additional preconstruction services for more work in Woburn, and is currently working on the 2-South patient room upgrades.
Carr's continuing work at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital includes the 3 south inpatient unit renovations, the first floor corridor and entry renovations, and the 3 outpatient IDF renovations. Late last year, Carr completed for BRH, the Activities for Daily Living (ADL) Courtyard construction. All of these projects went the negotiated construction management route as well.
The architect for these projects, Levi + Wong Design Associates, is a multidisciplinary design firm offering architectural design, interior design, landscape architecture design, and urban design projects.

In another healthcare related development at the firm, Carr president Dave Driscoll and project manager Adam Gray were awarded their Healthcare Construction Certification from the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) after a recent two day workshop in Boston. Items on the agenda at the workshop included developing an effective Infection Control Program, understanding Life Safety issues, and implementing a viable Construction Risk Assessment program.
