Walsh Construction and joint venture partner Consigli Construction have completed Nuvance Health's new 752,610-square-foot patient pavilion at Vassar Brothers Medical Center. The $545 million medical pavilion is the largest single construction project in the history of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and will transform healthcare in the Hudson Valley.
The new pavilion has 264 private patient rooms, 30 critical care rooms, a 66-room emergency department, 12 surgical suites and a 300-seat conference center.

The Walsh/Consigli joint venture experienced impressive quantities throughout construction, beginning with the removal of 100,000 cubic feet of rock along with approximately 100 carefully choreographe
