Shaheen Beauchamp Builders receives 2019 Re-Development of the Year for Carson City Urgent Care
Northern Nevada general contractor, Shaheen Beauchamp Builders LLC, has received the 2019 Summit Award for Re-Development of the Year for the Renown Urgent Care project in Carson City.
Located at 2814 N. Carson Street, the building originally housed a 12,000 sq. ft. gym with a lot of open space and a bright purple ceiling which had been vacant for well over a year. The Renown Urgent Care is now roughly 5,000-square-feet and has a total of 20 rooms which include exam, patient, and X-ray rooms, along with four bathrooms, and offices for physicians and advanced practitioners to provide care for acute but not emergency conditions.
Mark Beauchamp, co-owner of Shaheen Beauchamp Builders and project manager for the construction, said medical facility construction requires special expertise to manage increasing technical needs, patient flow and regulatory environments that support patient outcomes.
“Great attention to detail was paid to the X-ray room because the measurements must be precise as any mis-calculation can throw off the machines’ calibration,” Beauchamp said. “Also, an overhead trapeze structure had to be built on the ceiling of the X-ray room to be able to hold the weight the of X-ray equipment.”
In 2018, the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services reported that all 17 counties in Nevada have some type of medical care shortage due to high ratios of population to providers. They also reported that poverty in urban areas, lack of Medicaid providers and travel time to access providers in rural areas are also significant factors in Nevada’s health care shortage. Patients often wait so long for treatment they may end up in emergency rooms.
During the construction of the Urgent Care facility, Shaheen Beauchamp Builders worked a concurrent tenant improvement project for Renown Health Primary Care Physicians’ facility in Carson City, taking the number of projects Shaheen Beauchamp Builders has done for the health care organization to well over a dozen.
“We’re grateful for our relationship with Renown Health,” Beauchamp said. “Healthcare is one of the best indicators of a sustainable community, and we are proud of the work we’ve done to help bring greater accessibility to health care to our state’s capital.”
MBA Architecture + Interior Design, a Reno-based architecture firm that has provided design services for multiple Renown projects, including the facility in Carson City, worked to create a beautiful and functional space that promotes wellness while helping health care providers treat their patients more effectively, stated Erik Fong, Principal Architect.
“We value construction partners like Shaheen Beauchamp Builders, whose team is as passionate as we are about constructing quality spaces,” Fong said.
