CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.—Oman-Gibson Associates (OGA), a full-service health care real estate firm based in Nashville, recently broke ground on an orthopaedic office building complex for Tennessee Orthopaedic Alliance (TOA) in Clarksville. The new 27,750-square-foot medical office building will be located on a 6.81-acre site off I-24 Exit 11 at 1000 S. Gateway Blvd. and is a relocation of the physician group’s Clarksville offices, currently located at 141 Hillcrest Drive in Clarksville.

In addition to physician office space, the new facility will feature an even more robust catalog of orthopaedic services, including urgent care, advanced imaging, a larger physical therapy facility, and a sports performance facility that includes an outdoor artificial turf area.  The new facility is expected to be completed by late 2024.

“The Clarksville community is growing quickly, and TOA’s new state-of-the-art facility, with enhanced clinic, physical therapy, imaging services, and specialized orthopedic urgent care, will meet that need,” said Rob Simmons, Chief Executive Officer of TOA. “In addition to these enhanced services, we will also become a stronger resource for the community with our sports performance programming. For more than 90 years, TOA has been at the forefront of orthopedics. This facility demonstrates our commitment to support the communities we serve with a comprehensive approach to support active lifestyles.”

“We’re grateful for our years-long partnership with TOA and their trust in us to bring their vision to life,” said Bond Oman, OGA chief executive officer. “The new Clarksville complex exemplifies our commitment to providing cutting-edge medical spaces that cater to the evolving needs of both providers and patients, and we look forward to realizing this vision with TOA.”

OGA has completed multiple developments for TOA, the most recent being a 55,000-square-foot orthopedic medical office building and ambulatory surgery center in Murfreesboro, TN.

Brasfield & Gorrie is serving as general contractor, Earl Swensson Associates is the project’s architectural firm, and the civil engineer is Fulmer Lucas Engineering.

Currently, OGA has 225,000 square feet of medical real estate under development in the Nashville MSA and more than 500,000 square feet in current projects and deals in progress around the country.

AUSTIN—General contractor Brasfield & Gorrie has been awarded the construction contract for an expansion of HCA St. David’s North Austin Medical Center Women’s Center. The company has also started work on a one-story vertical expansion at HCA St. David’s North Austin Medical Center. The projects are the first the general contractor has built in Austin.

“Brasfield & Gorrie is dedicated to building strong communities, and we’ve been hard at work in Texas for 30 years,” said Vice President and Division Manager Chris Wall. “We’re honored to extend our long relationship with HCA Healthcare into Austin, expanding a facility that cares for the city’s rapidly growing population.”

The Women’s Center four-story vertical expansion project will consist of a 166,369-square-foot addition, including 4 C-section operating rooms, 36 labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum rooms and 24 antepartum rooms. Following the completion of the vertical expansion, Brasfield & Gorrie will renovate 28,325 square feet of interior space, adding 30 neonatal intensive care unit beds and 32 full-term nursery beds and 4 post-partum rooms.

The North Austin Medical Center project will add 21,214 square feet and 32 medical surgery patient rooms. It will include prefabricated exterior wall panels and bathroom pods. With prefabrication, off-site work can run concurrently with activities on site. Less work is contingent on weather conditions or material delivery lead times, which is an advantage for maintaining project schedules. Minimizing the number of workers on site also increases safety.

Earl Swensson Associates is the architect on both projects. The one-story vertical expansion at HCA St. David’s North Austin Medical Center is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2022. The Women’s Center four-story vertical expansion is scheduled for completion during the fourth quarter of 2023.
