McCarthy Breaks Ground on North Tower Expansion at Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center

McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. has broken ground on the Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center campus for an innovative vertical expansion of the Piedmont Cartersville North Tower Building. The vertical expansion project, which will serve the community of Carterville, GA and surrounding areas, is set to be completed in November of 2023. 

Piedmont Cartersville Medical Center Expansion Scope of Work

The 43,122-square-foot North Tower expansion project will include the vertical expansion of a fourth and fifth floor to the current building and a renovation to the current sterile processing department. Once completed, the fourth floor will provide support space and general storage for hospital staff while the fifth floor of the expansion will make room for 20 CON-approved new short-stay general hospital beds, bringing the total of licensed beds to 139 upon completion. The current sterile processing department will be renovated and expanded by adding over 11,000-square-foot of space, almost doubling the current department. The expansion of the new sterile processing department will allow Piedmont to add additional services available to patients and decrease turnaround time for processing complex instrumentation, resulting in increased treatment of patients and decreased pre-operative waiting times. 

“We’re pleased to further our relationship with the construction company that has responsibility for this project; McCarthy Building Companies” stated Chris Mosley, Chief Executive Officer for Piedmont Cartersville, at the groundbreaking ceremony for the North Tower Expansion project earlier this month. McCarthy was selected as the general contractor for the expansion project in early June, with TMPartners taking on the role of project architect. “We’re honored to be able to continue our relationship with Piedmont,” said Mark Cleverly, Project Director for McCarthy. “McCarthy has extensive local healthcare experience and we’re incredibly excited to be able to deliver a first-class facility to the community of Cartersville.”  

Though the North Tower expansion project marks the first time McCarthy has worked on Piedmont’s Cartersville Medical Center campus, McCarthy has provided state-of-the-art health care projects for Piedmont Healthcare in other areas of Georgia for the past 15 years. McCarthy’s extensive portfolio of Piedmont projects includes projects for Piedmont Atlanta, Athens Regional, Columbus, Newton and Rockdale campuses.
