MMC Contractors, alongside joint-venture partner G&J Gipson Mechanical, was selected as part of an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) team for the design and construction of the new five-story 210,000-SF hospital featuring 100 beds and its central utility plant (CUP) in Olive Branch, Mississippi.
The MMC Contractors-Gipson team provided the full mechanical, plumbing, and medical gas preconstruction, fabrication, and construction services for the project. Our team was responsible for the layout, design, and permit-plan development of all the plumbing and HVAC systems on the site, in coordination with the professional engineer’s oversight.
The hospital was designed using LEED energy conservation principles, including a ground-source heat pump system with 250 geothermal wells and more than 200 individual heat pumps with outside air supplied via dedicated outside air units. Domestic hot water for the building is generated entirely by the geothermal heat pumps. The facility opened in 2013 and in 2014, it became the second healthcare facility in the U.S. to achieve a LEED Gold certification.
