Project News

Welcome…

St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital has been the primary resource for Neonatal care in the Tampa region for nearly 75 years.   Their latest project will provide five new floors that will tie into the existing hospital.  Resources in this addition will not only provide more NICU suites, but will also encompass a breast health center, and surgical suites.  Construction commenced in April 2010 and this capstone project will track the building’s progress, provide technical information of the building and its systems, and in time will provide analysis on various construction topics, i.e. means and methods, systems, technologies, that may be able to improve the delivery of the project or the final product itself.  Thank you for taking the time to review this website, and the beginning of my  construction career.
