Gilbane Building completes 44,000 s/f inpatient facility for child/adolescent programs and CADD at Bradley Hospital

Gilbane Building Company recently completed construction of a new 44,000 s/f inpatient facility for Bradley Hospital. The new building is the centerpiece of a multi-phase, campus-wide revitalization. With three times more square feet of inpatient space, the two-story addition features 60 private rooms arranged in small, quiet pods that provide patients and their families with increased privacy, enable staff to closely monitor and quickly respond to patients, and allow the hospital to be more flexible when admitting patients. Gilbane provided construction management services to oversee the project on the hospital's East Providence campus while the hospital remained fully functioning. The new 2-story building addition adjoins the existing hospital in two places, creating an enclosed courtyard. Due to the nature of the hospital's patients, extreme care was taken to minimize disruption to the ongoing healthcare operations. Gilbane worked closely with the hospital, including daily communications, to ensure that the construction would not cause undue distress to the hospital's sensitive patient population. The new building houses the hospital's Child and Adolescent Inpatient Programs and the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities (CADD). The facility opened just one year after breaking ground. "This modern facility will enhance the world-class, cutting-edge clinical care that Bradley Hospital has been providing for nearly 80 years, while also allowing for the expansion and exploration of new approaches and treatments in child and adolescent psychiatry," saidDaniel Wall, Bradley Hospital's president and CEO. With the opening of the new building, Gilbane will begin the second phase of the project - the renovation of the existing facility to accommodate expanded outpatient and partial-hospitalization (day) programs for children and adolescents. The newly renovated space will also allow for increased cutting-edge research initiatives right on the hospital's campus. The architect for the new building was S/L/A/M Collaborative.
