Walsh Brothers, Incorporated, a Boston-based construction management firm, in conjunction with Shepley Bulfinch Richardson & Abbott, recently completed construction of the Mass General/North Shore Center for Outpatient Care, a premiere outpatient patient care facility located north of Boston.

The 122,000 square-foot Center for Outpatient Care is the result of decades of successful collaboration between the Massachusetts General Hospital, Partners HealthCare System, and North Shore Medical Center. The Center for Outpatient Care will provide communities north of Boston with state-of-the-art services in cardiology, neurology, thoracic surgery, and pediatrics, as well as suites for minimally invasive surgery and advanced imaging services. In addition to serving as the benchmark for suburban healthcare, the NSMC Center for Outpatient Care is dedicated to patient centered care by utilizing a patient-focused philosophy to guide the design principals. This patient-focused dedication is embodied in the new NSMC Cancer Center, which occupies approximately 40% of the new facility. The panoramic windows of the facility's twenty-four infusion bays provide views of tidal wetlands, a healing garden with perennial plants and flowers. Even the oncology waiting area is infused with natural light and offers views of the lush surrounding environs. The Center for Outpatient Care exemplifies the collaboration between a community hospital and a major academic medical center, the first of its kind in the greater Boston area.

This new facility is an example of Massachusetts General's continued commitment to providing its patients and visitors with unparalleled excellence in care and will provide North Shore residents greater access to critical outpatient services, which are cost effective and close to home. Representatives from Walsh Brothers were on hand as Robert Norton, President and CEO of North Shore Medical Center, proudly unveiled the new facility, noting "This is an exciting day for both NSMC and Mass General."

Working closely with the institution, the Walsh Brothers team provided extensive options analyses, studies of alternative façade and building systems, while maintaining budgeting control in order to ensure that the project surpassed the expectations of Partners HealthCare. Walsh Brothers is proud to have contributed to such a critical patient care facility and to have delivered the project on time and within budget.

Walsh Brothers, Incorporated is a fourth- generation, family-owned construction management firm, headquartered in Boston. The firm, founded in 1901, has built significant projects for many of Boston's finest healthcare institutions.
