Driving Sustainable Health Care Solutions

From new construction to facility upgrades, our work ensures that health care spaces operate efficiently while enhancing patient care. Here are some of our key projects:

HealthFirst Cape Canaveral Hospital – Merritt Island, FL

We conducted a comprehensive sustainability review, assessing existing assets, operations, and maintenance practices to establish a baseline for improvement. Through multiple stakeholder charrettes, we identified project goals and developed a Basis of Design that aligned with ESG metrics. Our Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) document ensured that sustainability remained a priority throughout design and operation.
