Just outside of Harrisburg, Penn., the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) is gutting multiple floors of a massive red office building. Conveniently located just across the street from UPMC’s West Shore Hospital, general contractor Benchmark Construction is turning the structure into a new ambulatory medical office complex. But with 170,000 square feet of space, and plans to open its doors as soon as later this year, this retrofit is no small project. For Paramount Contracting, it required plenty of metal framing, drywalling, doorways, drop ceilings and a whole lot of fire- and sound-rated walls.
