Miller Construction Company Completes $2.2 Million Renovation, Expansion Project for Cleveland Clinic Florida

Weston, FL, July 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Miller Construction Company’s veteran healthcare team has completed a $2.2 million renovation and expansion project for Cleveland Clinic Florida that demanded expertise in air quality, infection control and complex compliance issues.

The multi-phase project at the Cleveland Clinic Florida campus in Weston included constructing a second floor atop a one-story section of the hospital to accommodate a 10-bed expansion of the Post Anesthesia Care Unit, plus renovating adjacent space to add five beds to the Intensive Care Unit.

As general contractor, Miller completed the project within budget and on schedule in just five months. The firm trained and involved every subcontractor in stringent protocols for infection control – a key consideration whenever construction occurs near a hospital unit with immune-compromised patients.

In other projects, the team created a dialysis suite and reconfigured and expanded the hospital’s pharmacy, including addition of a clean room and negative pressure room built to USP 797 standards.

"Working in the heart of an operational ICU and PACU, we focused on keeping highly sensitive electrical and mechanical systems functioning smoothly, while minimizing any disruption to the hospital’s staff and patients," said Wayne Hannaka, vice president of Moss Miller Healthcare.

This spring, healthcare specialist teams from Miller Construction Company and Moss & Associates joined forces to launch Moss Miller Healthcare, a unique company designed to meet growing demand for hospitals, clinics and research institutions across Florida. Going forward, the team’s new projects at Cleveland Clinic Florida and other healthcare facilities will be under the Moss Miller Healthcare banner.

Moss Miller Healthcare’s executive team members have overseen over $2.5 billion collectively in medical facility construction projects.

Miller Construction Company has a 20-year track record in meeting stringent requirements of Florida’s Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). Fully 100 percent of Miller’s 55 hospital and other healthcare facility projects passed in all final AHCA inspections.

Moss & Associates has an executive team whose members directed construction of landmark medical centers from Miami to Orlando and Tampa Bay. The firm has offices in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Tampa and Ocala.
