Construction Today - March 2012 - (Page 64) The Heart and Vascular Tower project is the second recent joint venture for Milton J. Womack Inc. and JE Dunn Construction. « Institutional | MILTON J. WOMACK INC./JE DUNN JV – OUR LADY OF THE LAKE HEART AND VASCULAR TOWER AND TRAUMA CENTER EXPANSION Heart of Activity W hen Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center started making plans for a major expansion and renovation project more than two years ago, one general contractor stood out as the best candidate for the task. With more than 20 years of renovation and expansion projects at the Baton Rouge, La.-based medical center already under its belt, Milton J. Womack Inc. is poised to successfully deliver a new tower and emergency department that will greatly improve Our Lady of the Lake’s level of service. Milton J. Womack Inc. and joint-venture partner JE Dunn Construction will go vertical this spring on a $120 million, 10-story heart and vascular tower for the healthcare provider. Construction started in June 2011 and will conclude in November 2013. “The new emergency department will be the area’s first Level 3 trauma center and one of two in the state,” Project Manager Tommy Serpas says. ”The new tower will serve as a new training hospital, and will increase beds for vascular intensive care patients.” In addition to building the 375,000-squarefoot tower, the Womack/Dunn JV is adding 18,000 square feet to the medical center’s existing emergency department/trauma center and renovating existing space in six phases, project manager Joey Porta says. The expanded trauma center will house two additional CT scan machines, an additional MRI, and a two-story helipad large enough to land two helicopters. Notable heart and vascular tower features include five operating rooms and 150 beds, as well as courtyard and garden areas, he adds.
