Stevens Named Construction Manager for Major Renovation at NCH

Stevens Construction was recently selected the construction manager for the fourth floor renovation of Naples Community Hospital (NCH), now underway at 350 Seventh Street.

When completed later this year, the 22,594sf project will house a 23-bed oncology specialty care department and a 12-bed behavioral health treatment center. New nurse stations, offices and a multi-purpose room also are being built.

The hospital will remain operational throughout the construction process. Accordingly, Stevens Construction is implementing strict measures to contain infection risks. These include installing barrier walls and HEPA filters to ensure the safety and wellbeing of hospital workers, patients and visitors.

Dan Adams is the project manager, assisted by Will Houser. Tracey James is project administrator. Studio+ is the architect.

In related news, 17 members of Stevens Construction’s management team recently completed Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Certificate Training, a hospital educational program for contractors and healthcare engineers.

The participants were Norm Nobles, Wilmer Granera, Sergio Granera, Elmer Juarez, Manuel Castillo, Angel Merced, Alexander Reyes, Joel Estrada, Noberto Cisneros, Enrique Granera, Dennis Simo, Sam Lane, J.J. Slaugh, Scott Wells, Ben Perry, Tom Dyer and Troy Hernly.

The training, which was presented by healthcare hygiene consultants, involved identifying infection risks associated with healthcare construction and improving hospital compliance. It also included the development of risk assessment documents and risk monitoring tools, and review of common practices.
