“McCarthy’s performance on this project, their knowledge of Kaiser Permanente’s national building standards, and attention for quality and safety helped ensure that this facility was built on time and within budget.”
— Stephen Cox, facilities design and construction project manager, Kaiser Permanente, Atlanta
McCarthy recently completed construction of a 26,000-square-foot medical office building for Kaiser Permanente in Austell, marking the first Kaiser Permanente project for McCarthy’s Atlanta office.
The two-story facility in suburban Atlanta includes radiology, pharmacy, laboratory facilities and minor procedure rooms. The facility also has 130 parking spaces. The newly-opened building is Kaiser Permanente’s first facility in Georgia that was built using an environmentally-conscious “green” design. Among the many green features, including PVC-free carpeting and flooring, thermoplastic polyolefin roofing, and water and energy conservation measures, metal shingles made from recycled steel were also used on the rear of the medical building. If Kaiser Permanente decides to expand this building in the future, these shingles can be removed and recycled or reused for other building materials. This spring, McCarthy began construction of two more medical office buildings for Kaiser Permanente in suburban Atlanta. They will be located in Buford and Lithonia. Architect: Perkins + Will, Atlanta.
