Construction began in January 2007 for the new Springfield Regional Medical Center (SRMC). This facility was a replacement facility for two community hospitals that merged operations. At the time, this was the largest project to date for Danis with a project cost of over $144M.
Directly adjacent to downtown Springfield, the hospital was developed on a brownfield site as part of an urban redevelopment for the city. As such, part of the project incorporated the relocation of city streets and coordination with public agencies and utilities. This new 245-bed full-service hospital includes an expanded Emergency Department to serve a larger population, a healing garden, larger private rooms, and many technological advances. The site had over 200 workers and 34 local businesses were awarded contracts with the project.
