Meritus Hospital | Infection Containment Fast Track

When Meritus Health received emergency authorization to build a permanent infectious disease isolation wing, the facility had four months. Heffron worked alongside Gilbane to design, build, and deliver the unit — featuring negative pressure rooms and ventilator-capable infrastructure — within a 120-day window.

Underground work was pushed early to unlock the building above while pandemic-era supply-chain disruption and strict site protocols were managed in parallel. The facility was occupied on schedule, with the work reflecting Heffron’s ability to accelerate without losing control of quality or safety.
