Darland was selected by Alegent health and a national construction manager to perform the general works package on a massive expansion of Immanuel Medical Center. The project included renovations and additions to the emergency, physical therapy and imaging/oncology departments. Darland was responsible for a wide range of construction services at the active hospital, including site and civil improvements, footings, foundations, slabs, framing, drywall, hardware, millwork and equipment installation.

“Darland has played an integral role in the upgrade and modernization of Immanuel,” said Mark Sommer, Alegent senior project manager. “They have effectively managed key components of the renovations to our emergency, rehabilitation, and oncology departments."

Crucial to the success of any hospital renovation or expansion project is the ability to implement effective safety controls to protect hospital patients and staff. Darland's team focused on infection control, monitoring noise levels and critical systems operations throughout the project. 

“What I really appreciate about Darland is their ability to work in and around active healthcare facilities," Sommer said. "They are very conscious of how their work impacts our staff and patients, and make adjustments accordingly.
