The State of Maryland has chosen Gilbane Building Company to provide CM at Risk services for the new $37 million Forensic Medical Center. The facility will serve as the headquarters for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME) of Maryland. The facility will be six stories totaling 120,000 sf with an area that will meet BSL-3 containment requirements. The architect for the facility is Gaudreau, Inc., with Gilbane’s Mid-Atlantic regional office overseeing the work.
The new facility will consist of four main functional areas – a Medical Examiner Administration Area, Main Autopsy Area, Special Procedures Autopsy Area, and Laboratory Area. These functional areas will include forensics labs, autopsy suites, BSL-3 suites, conference facilities, exhibits, and administrative space. Work is scheduled to begin in summer 2008 and reach completion by early 2010.
