The Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center project is a 350,000-square-foot expansion that transforms health care in the region.

The ambitious endeavor included 20 state-of-the-art operating rooms, 30 short-stay rooms for recovery and two critical-care units spanning two floors, each with 32 beds. Additionally, a 78-bed women’s and children’s unit, spread across two floors, promises specialized care for the community. Among the labyrinth of medical spaces are support hubs for supply chain and sterile processing.

The project involved installation of 22 prefabricated ceiling systems, accelerating the construction schedule by as much as two to three months. Temporary electrical gear was used to install finishes and commission the building, overcoming an 80-week delay in the delivery of the primary electrical supply because of COVID-19 impacts on the global supply chain.

The project also faced workforce challenges. Southern Oregon does not see projects of this magnitude often, so not many contractors or subcontractors with local resources were available to tackle a project of this scale.

The project team worked closely with the hospital’s foundation and the Andersen Construction Foundation on several charitable efforts that directly impacted the hospital and surrounding community. The Asante Foundation worked continually to promote the project and build excitement and anticipation in the community that contributed to charitable contributions to the project.

The Andersen team said the city of Medford also was accommodating to the needs of the project.

The project team focused heavily on mental health awareness during construction, leading to many successes and fostering an inclusive job site culture.
