Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, Operating Room Expansion and Sterile Processing Department Renovation

Six Phases of Progress without Interruption

Turner provided preconstruction and construction services for a two-story, 26,029-sq. ft. expansion, on top of an active emergency department, at the Le Bonheur’s Children’s Hospital. This two-phased project included 11,249 sq. ft. of renovation to the existing sterile processing department (SPD) on the ground floor, which remained active during construction, and the buildout of six operating rooms (ORs); sterile storage; equipment storage; and, the renovation of the existing OR suite locker rooms on level two.

The SPD renovation was completed in six phases, with zero interruptions to operations. Additionally, this project included the buildout of The University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry. Buildout consisted of four dental exam rooms and seven total dental chairs, with the ability to add an eighth chair in the future. This project was awarded without competition based on the team’s excellent track record at Methodist Le Bonheur.
