JE Dunn Construction has been selected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to manage the $24 million design-build Mountain Home Air Force Base clinic modernization project in Idaho as well as the $21.7 million design-build Eglin Air Force Base pharmacy in Florida.
The Mountain Home Air Force Base clinic modernization will support the 366th Medical Group and entail renovating 41,165 SF of multiple departments.
Construction at Mountain Home AFB will begin in 2020 and will be complete in July 2021.
JE Dunn and Hoefer Wysocki have partnered to design and construct the Eglin Air Force Base pharmacy renovations for the 96th Medical Group. This is the 21st project award within the U.S. Air Force Healthcare Facilities Modernization Program.
“We are thrilled to continue building our federal healthcare portfolio alongside a trusted partner, Hoefer Wysocki,” said JE Dunn group manager, Craig Stearns.
The first phase of renovations includes the outpatient and inpatient pharmacies in the hospital. The satellite pharmacy addition and renovation, which will be designed around an Rx auto-fill robotic system, are included in the second phase of renovations.
The scope includes other MEP work, architectural improvements, and improving the existing classrooms and administrative offices.
This will be the second project JE Dunn has worked on at Eglin. The firm completed the hospital realignment in 2016.
JE Dunn has designed and constructed over $800 million in healthcare facilities at more than 13 military bases across the nation to support the U.S. Air Force Healthcare Facilities Modernization Program over the past 10 years.
Other local partners on the AFB projects include BHC Rhodes, Branch Pattern and Henderson Engineers.
