How Gilbane Building Celebrates Heavy with Massive Milestone Project

Gilbane Building and Sarasota Memorial Health Care System marked a major milestone with the topping out of the Venice Campus Bed Tower expansion in Florida. Opening in 2024, the new patient tower will add 102 new private patient rooms to the Venice hospital, with dedicated surgical, cardiac and orthopedic units and expanded space for clinical and support departments.

“Gilbane is excited to celebrate the on-time topping-out milestone as construction continues to progress towards the planned opening next year,” said Cary Shippert, vice president and southeast director of Health Care and Science/Technology at Gilbane Building Company. “Utilizing lean and prefabrication initiatives, the project team continues to provide accelerated, on-time delivery of each project. Assisting our client through a phased transition process will help them open their facility quickly to meet the rising demand for health care in southwest Florida.”
