Alpha Med Enterprises Expansion
Tinley Park, IL – Alpha Med Enterprises completed a new 55,000 outpatient cancer treatment facility in 2011. Six months after the facility opened Alpha Med experienced exceptional demand for their outpatient cancer treatment services and determined expansion was needed for additional patient services. PDC had completed the design and construction for the original medical office building and was contracted to complete the new addition.
To expedite the development schedule, Alpha Med and PDC determined that a modular shielding design would be advantageous to the function, cost and timetable. The modular shielding used less space, allowed a direct patient into the procedure room, and allowed unimpeded installation during winter months. This solution resulted in a substantial cost and time savings compared with conventional concrete construction
Construction is underway with completion expected in May 2012 without any disruption to the current cancer treatment services.
