Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters – Our Projects

Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters (CHKD) aimed to expand access to mental health services due to the community's increasing need for extra behavioral health services. The purpose of constructing the new Medical Tower II was to provide an inpatient mental health program and hospital-based outpatient clinics. The facility features 60 private inpatient beds, behavioral and specialty clinic facilities, a multi-sensory room, comfortable lounge areas for families, a rooftop recreation space, and a healing garden.

Designed to facilitate family-centered care and engage parents, this 14-story pediatric psychiatric hospital and outpatient center will offer patients a unique experience. As a reliable BIM & VDC partner, VEC was involved in the early project stages. Our team's key task was coordinating with other contractors effectively and meeting client expectations regarding budget and schedule.

3D models designed by VEC experts for this 380,000-square-foot hospital facility helped build modern settings for individual and group therapy and create an environment embracing the unique needs of children. The VEC Team is proud to have participated in constructing such an excellent project with sustainable materials and an innovative patient-centered design, which helps offer a new level of mental health care.

VEC provided continuous feedback, which allowed all contractors to move towards the most cost-effective solution to satisfy project needs.

Aside from being a state-of-the-art healthcare building, the Medical Tower II represents CHDK’s sustainability efforts.

Many rooms and power systems, including electrical rooms and a chiller plant, were built using prefabrication, which led to significant time and cost savings.
