Hospital Patient Floor Renovation

Complete Inpatient Floor Renovation in an Operating Hospital

A comprehensive renovation of approximately 22,000 sq. ft. of inpatient space in an active hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The project involved extensive interior demolition and reconstruction, including new framing, drywall, flooring, ceilings, and interior finishes.

All work was carefully phased and coordinated with infection-control protocols, dust containment, and site protection measures to minimize disruption to ongoing hospital operations.

Precision Renovation. Minimal Disruption. Lasting Quality.

Facility type: Healthcare
Location: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Area: ~22,000 sq ft
Scope: Interior remodeling and renovation

The challenge

What the Project Required

The floor sat between occupied units above and below. Dust, noise, and access all had to be controlled to the hospital's infection-control requirements for the full length of the work.

Stage by stage

From Preconstruction to Turnover

Each stage of the work, in order. The photographs show this type of work and space, not this project.

01 · Protection
Protection Before Demolition
Before demolition began, our team installed temporary barriers, dust-control systems, and protected access routes to maintain safety and minimize disruption. Through daily coordination with facility operations, we ensured controlled access, carefully planned shutdowns, and uninterrupted services wherever possible.
Safety First. Every Phase.

02 · Demolition
Walls Opened to the Studs
We removed existing finishes, ceilings, and partitions in sections, taking debris out along a set route away from patient traffic.

New Walls, Then Finish
New framing and drywall followed, then primer and finish coats—all under the same containment.
