C.E. Floyd completes Wound and Hyperbaric Medicine Center

New Britain, CT C.E. Floyd Company worked with Jacunski Humes Architects to rehabilitate patient care space into The Advanced Wound and Hyperbaric Medicine Center on The Hospital of Central Connecticut’s campus. The original schedule was 14 weeks, but the hospital wanted to occupy the space sooner. By working longer days and implementing Lean Construction practices, such as a daily huddle and maintaining a constraints list, C.E. Floyd compressed the schedule into just eight weeks. All work was completed next to an occupied patient clinic with minimal interruptions. 

“Our new state-of-the-art wound care center in New Britain will ensure our hospital offers the most advanced therapies, products, and practices to our community,” said Janette Edwards, vice president of operations for Hartford HealthCare’s Central Region, in a press release published on the hospital’s website. “The new center includes six treatment rooms, allowing us to treat more patients and increase our rate of healing difficult wounds.”

The Advanced Wound and Hyperbaric Medicine Center provides patients and clinicians with a dedicated location to focus on both inpatient and outpatient healing. This holistic approach is aimed at the multiple facets of the healing process and may help to prevent future infections. The hyperbaric oxygen chambers, which required a tie-in to an existing oxygen tank farm across the street from the site, are equipped with their own TV, creating a comforting environment for patients receiving treatment.  

Chuck Tobin, president of Connecticut operations for C.E. Floyd, said, “C.E. Floyd Company provides the high level of service and attention to detail required in the health care industry. When mistakes can have perilous outcomes C.E. Floyd Company has proven to be a competent and reliable choice in the health care industry.” 

Previously, C.E. Floyd converted a gymnasium into the Family Health Center in Bristol for the Hospital of Central Connecticut. This outpatient care facility provides many medical services to the community, including another Advanced Wound and Hyperbolic Medicine Center.

C.E. Floyd serves New England from its Mass. and Conn. locations. The company provides preconstruction, general contracting, construction management and design/build services in the commercial, educational, healthcare/biotech, hospitality and senior living sectors  and is a member of AGC and ABC.
