The massive construction project to rebuild Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital, located in Massachusetts, is open to the public following a devastating fire in early 2023. The project, led by the collaborative efforts of Auburn Construction, SmithGroup, Liro Group, Peregrine Group, Anania Plumbing and J&M Brown Company, included a full restoration of the 341,000-square-foot building’s infrastructure, along with significant improvements to several of its facilities.
The hospital reopened its doors in August 2024. A new 2,700-square-foot addition at the north end of the hospital houses switchgear, separating daily and emergency systems and providing new generators and transformers onsite.
The fire closure enabled other developments to move forward, as well. SmithGroup designed a modernization of the main lobby. Other major developments, which were designed by Liro Group and completed while the hospital was closed, are a brand-new outpatient surgical facility, a redesigned and more efficient emergency department, updated radiology and an improved compounding pharmacy. The final phase of hospital reconstruction was focused on completing the maternity, pediatric and behavioral health units.
