Construction has started on the Atrium Health Concord Freestanding Emergency Department in Concord, North Carolina. The 11,021-square-foot project is being built entirely using modular construction. The offsite construction method produces an entire building in large modules – individual sections or units – that are then transported to the site, assembled and finished.
This approach offers several advantages, including faster project timelines, improved quality control, reduced onsite workforce, reduced waste and minimized site disruption. Because much of the work occurs simultaneously – site preparation and module fabrication – projects can often be completed more quickly than with traditional construction methods.
The 10-bed facility will be completed in early 2026. Robins & Morton is the general contractor for the project. Blox is the architect and manufacturer.
