HEALTHCARE CONSTRUCTION EXPERTISE

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

Skyline Construction takes deep pride in building spaces that help heal both people and pets. We create solutions that make complex healthcare construction projects more efficient and cost-effective for our partners. Our projects are all built with full cost transparency, clear communication, efficient management, and a people-first approach.

MEDICAL OFFICE

A medical office building (MOB) is a facility that often encompasses several healthcare practices and tenant spaces such as primary care physician offices, urgent care clinics, and labs to process bloodwork. Because of the variety of practices that may be present in an MOB project, they typically have a primary focus on shared spaces and infrastructure. These projects require a high level of expertise and attention to detail, including:

  • Building code compliance for multi-tenant structures
  • Heavy coordination with stakeholders like building owners, property managers, multiple tenants, vendors and subcontractors
  • Emphasis on common areas like lobbies, restrooms, and building-wide systems such as elevators, HVAC, and fire safety

DENTAL OFFICE

The heart of each dental office is the operatory chair. Below each chair is a network of specialized plumbing and electrical infrastructure to support patient care. These include lines for water, waste, and mixed gases like nitrous gases and oxygen. Above the chair, the telescoping lights require specific ceiling-concealed mounting to handle their weight and maneuverability. Other special considerations while building a dental office include:

  • Rated med gas rooms with leakage alarms that are secure, protective, and tied into the Life & Fire Safety (LFS) system.
  • X-ray rooms with specialized power and shielded walls.
  • Additional inspections may be required, such as third-party inspection of all med gas.

VETERINARY OFFICE

Veterinary healthcare construction requires a unique blend of construction expertise and animal welfare knowledge. These spaces may include installing specialized equipment, like anesthesia machines and diagnostic imaging equipment for animals, and building stress-free environments for animals by using sound-dampening materials and considering animal flow and containment. Other considerations include:

  • Sanitation for animal-specific pathogens and zoonotic diseases.
  • Safety for animals and staff.
  • Durability of materials, equipment and restraint systems.

CLINICAL SPACE

Clinical spaces are typically highly specialized and include many features unique to their specific medical practice. These spaces require deep knowledge of medical codes, equipment, and patient safety while prioritizing infection control and functionality. Some of the common considerations for clinical space projects include:

  • Compliance with HIPAA laws and patient privacy, including acoustics and record-keeping.
  • Consideration for sanitation such as continuous-base flooring.
  • Specialized requirements for medical-grade infrastructure including outlet types, redundant circuitry, and plumbing for additional hand- or eye-washing stations.

OTHER MEDICAL FACILITIES

There are many other types of medical facility construction projects, each with unique considerations. Long-term care facilities, for example, typically include enhanced safety and security systems and accessibility standards. This includes features like non-slip flooring, wandering prevention systems, and secure medication rooms. Outpatient centers, however, are more focused on patient flow and flexibility. They prioritize efficiency to keep wait times down and to handle a larger volume of patients. Skyline Construction has a diverse portfolio of completed healthcare projects that demonstrate our expertise in delivering spaces that meet the needs of patients and their providers.

Veritas Veterinary Hospital

Skyline Construction overcame site constraints to deliver a full-floor veterinary hospital buildout. With no freight elevator and undersized passenger elevators, materials were flown in via a third-floor balcony. MEP upgrades required close coordination with a neighboring surgical center and the building owner to avoid the operable atrium roof. Specialized construction and certifications supported new Hallmarq imaging equipment, multiple X-ray rooms, and advanced surgical suites.

Phases of Construction

UW Primary Care & Population Health

We partnered with the University of Washington Medicine to complete the seven-phase renovation project for their new Primary Care and Population Health clinic. The facility remained occupied and operational throughout construction, which included an all-new wall layout, structural and electrical upgrades to accommodate a new X-ray machine, and a new glass entrance vestibule with upgraded security controls.

Specialties and Practices in One Space

Confidential Dental Clinic

Skyline has built more than 360,000 sq. ft. of space for the country’s largest dental insurance provider, including a recent state-of-the-art dental clinic in the Bay Area. The patient-forward clinic includes an interactive video wall, a quiet meditation room, and more than 30 dental operatory chairs. Each chair requires specialized electrical work and plumbing infrastructure, including tubing to deliver medical gases like nitrous and oxygen to patients. While the clinic spans a single floor, there are four distinct dental practices in operation. The space also required tie-in to the building’s fire and life safety system to secure and protect the medical gas room from leaks or other emergencies.

Frequently asked questions

What types of healthcare facilities does Skyline build?

Skyline delivers construction projects across a range of healthcare environments including medical office buildings, dental offices, behavioral health facilities, veterinary clinics, and specialized clinical spaces.

What makes healthcare construction different from other commercial projects?

Healthcare facilities must meet strict regulatory requirements related to patient safety, infection control, and medical infrastructure. These projects require careful coordination between clinical teams, engineers, and construction professionals.

How does Skyline manage construction in operational healthcare environments?

Many healthcare projects take place in active facilities where patient care must continue during construction. Skyline phases work carefully and coordinates closely with facility teams to minimize disruption.

What specialized infrastructure is required in healthcare facilities?

Healthcare environments often require medical gas systems, imaging infrastructure, specialized plumbing, and enhanced mechanical and electrical systems to support medical equipment and sanitation standards.

Why is early planning important in healthcare construction projects?

Healthcare projects involve strict regulatory requirements and complex infrastructure. Early planning helps ensure compliance, coordinate equipment needs, and prevent disruptions during construction.
