    Clark Construction is building a $300 million expansion and remodel of the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, California. The project will nearly double the size of the existing hospital by adding a five-story tower with 242 new patient beds, an underground loading dock, and a central utility plant. Some challenges of building on an active hospital campus include maintaining infection control and coordinating utility connections and upgrades while minimizing disruptions to patient care. Clark Construction expects to complete the project, which began in January 2008, by the January 2010 deadline.
