MYCON General Contractors has completed construction of a new First Choice Emergency Room, located at 901 West Jefferson in Grand Prairie, Texas. Construction on the 0.9-acre site at the high-traffic intersection of W. Jefferson and N. Carrier Parkway (Hwy 190) began in late August 2016 and was finished in March 2017. The site location was previously occupied by a service station and convenience store that were razed for this redevelopment project.

The new $3.5 million medical clinic is a one-story, 6,997 sf facility that represents one of the newest building types in the healthcare industry. Featuring on-site labs, digital imaging suites, including CT scanner, digital X-ray and ultrasound equipment, the freestanding emergency department is open 24/7/365 and staffed by emergency-trained, board-certified physicians and other support personnel.

Construction consisted of structural steel frame on a concrete slab, medical grade HVAC distribution systems and roof top units along with exterior branding components, such as tower, stucco wall and ambulance canopy. Extensive landscaping provides a significant upgrade to the site.

“MYCON’s lean construction methods enabled us to meet accelerated building schedules and to accommodate site restrictions associated with new construction in urban, brownfield locations,” says MYCON’s vice president Jacob Riney, CHC, HCC, EDAC, LEED® AP BD+C. “We are very pleased to complete this project as scheduled and to work with this project team again,” says Riney.

The project team includes real estate developer PM Realty Group (PMRG), GSR Andrade Architects and the owner, First Prairie LLC.
