The modular building project at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, WV, that Marks-Landau is providing site work for was in the WV News .

On August 21, 2020, Marks-Landau Construction was awarded the contract for a six-story addition to the United Hospital Center in Bridgeport, West Virginia. The project will be substantially completed in March 2022. To prepare for the addition and immediately provide the community with additional imaging services, a temporary modular building with a new MRI is being installed. Marks-Landau provided foundations, utilities and site improvements for the project. Once the additio...n is ready, the MRI will be moved to its permanent location. The modular structure will be removed and replaced with a new temporary imaging canopy for future use. Designed by Gresham Smith out of Nashville, the 40,023 SF addition will add much needed space and the ability to offer more services on the growing UHC campus. The basement level or Garden Floor will be storage space for the pharmacy and clean linen. The first floor will become the new home for the MRI, and two new operating rooms will be built on the second floor. On the third floor, there will be space for mechanicals. On the fourth floor there are 14 exam rooms, a waiting area, doctors’ offices, nurse’s station, and staffing areas. Finally, the fifth floor will accommodate educational needs with new classrooms, a skills lab and offices. #WVUMedicine #healthcareconstruction #WVUM

Next time you are traveling north on Interstate 79 past Morgantown, WV, look to your left and atop the newly landscaped mixed-use development called WestRidge Business and Retail Park you will see two beautiful buildings constructed by Marks-Landau Construction, a wholly owned subsidiary of Landau Building Company. Each of the two 3-story, 45,000 SF Class A office buildings were contracted as core and shell packages, followed by several interior fit-out packages completed for... tenants. Site development included new access roads, parking lots, traffic circles, landscaping, and sidewalks. The developer of WestRidge and Marks-Landau worked extensively during pre-construction to develop GMP’s based upon custom finishes selected by the architects and tenants, including custom millwork and a dramatic three-story monumental staircase. The development is already home to a diverse array of growing industries including information technology, architecture, and engineering.

Always gratifying to learn that we were part of a team whose work has had a positive impact on the local community. Since reopening the WVU Medicine's Fairmont Medical Center on June 30, 2020, hundreds of people have received medical care without having to travel 40 minutes to a neighboring town.
