HBE Breaks Ground on the Largest Healthcare
Facility Project in Company’s History - First Replacement Hospital in New York State in Over Twenty Years
ST. LOUIS (April, 2008) –
St. Louis-based HBE Corporation broke ground
this month on construction of the Orange Regional Medical Center (ORMC)
in Wallkill, New York. The new seven-story, 374-bed, 621,000 sq. ft.
facility will be New York State’s first replacement hospital in over
twenty years. The nearly $200 million A/E/C contract represents the
largest project in HBE’s history. Completion is expected March, 2011.
The new state-of-the-art, replacement hospital, located on a 61-acre
site in the town of Wallkill, New York, will allow ORMC to combine two
of its current hospitals – the Horton and Arden Hill campuses – under
one roof. The new green field site is adjacent to the intersection of
two major highways in the heart of Orange County and will provide
superior access to area residents.
ORMC selected HBE based on its integrated capabilities, track record in
the healthcare industry, knowledge of hospital design and expertise
with similar projects.
