Shawnee Mission Hospital Tower
Merriam, KS
This project consists of $27 million in renovations of Tower 2 at AdventHealth’s Shawnee Mission Hospital. The tower was occupied throughout the time of renovations, so McCarthy completed the work in phases and made ICRA a critical focus. Renovations included completely gutting the tower, removing asbestos, and refitting the space to better provide whole-person care.
The hospital now has 524 patient beds after construction was complete. Each of the four care units affected has 11 beds, but the renovation gave each 39 beds, tripling the initial count. When the tower opened, it used only the first two floors and since has grown to have functions on all six floors with roughly 20 beds per unit.
