Over 300 representatives from Vaughn, Memorial Hermann, m Strategic Partners, HKS, Inc, THR3E Design, IMEG, Inc, Smith Seckman Reid, Inc, Walter P. Moore, and other trade partners gathered to celebrate the topping out of Memorial Hermann’s new 346,000 SF Cypress Hospital Expansion, for which Vaughn serves as construction manager-at-risk.
A key component of Memorial Hermann Cypress' long-term growth strategy, the expansion project will enhance the hospital's ability to serve the rapidly growing community with increased capacity, modernized infrastructure and expanded patient care services. The project includes a new six-story patient tower, a three-story expansion of the diagnostics and treatment facility, upgrades to the central utility plant, a relocated helipad and extensive campus improvements.
"The topping out ceremony reflects the dedication, craftsmanship, and collaboration of every individual working to bring this vision to life,” said Marci Holub, vice president of operations. “As the Cypress community continues to grow, this expansion will strengthen Memorial Hermann's ability to provide safe, innovative and compassionate care close to home. The patient tower stands as a visible symbol of that commitment and of the lasting impact this facility will have on generations of patients and families."
"Reaching the top of the patient tower marks a major milestone for the entire project team," said a Vaughn project manager. "This achievement reflects months of planning, coordination and collaboration across every discipline. It is exciting to see the vision begin to take shape as we move into the next phase of construction."
