Hammes, a national real estate consulting, development, investment and management firm, is proud to celebrate the final move into the new GBMC Sandra R. Berman Pavilion in Towson, Maryland. Construction of the new pavilion was completed in late 2024 and has opened in phases over the past two months to allow for the seamless relocation of staff and services.
The Sandra R. Berman Pavilion is a two-story, 70,000-square-foot comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer center over a four-story parking garage. It serves as the new centralized location for the GBMC Sandra and Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute, providing outpatient cancer services with specialties including the comprehensive breast center, genetics, infusion therapy, gynecologic and medical oncology and oncology support. It has a new infusion center with open bays and private rooms along with an integrative wellness center, a specialized oncology pharmacy and a breast diagnostic imaging center.
Hammes provided project management, operational readiness and transition planning services for the new Sandra R. Berman Pavilion. Hammes Healthcare's Operational Readiness team partnered with GBMC clinical leaders to develop operational plans, orientation and mock scenarios to ensure the oncology team was prepared for patient care in the new center.
“There was a great deal of complexity associated with the move to the new Berman Pavilion,” said Rebecca Stover, GBMC HealthCare Director of Project Management. “The detailed transition and activation planning led by Hammes ensured the facility was ready and, importantly, that we were operationally ready thanks to comprehensive schedules and a seamless relocation plan.”
Hammes also provided project management, operational readiness and transition planning services for the new GBMC Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building, a 117,000-square-foot addition to the existing hospital comprised of a three-story atrium and two clinical floors, which opened in late 2023. Both the new Sandra R. Berman Pavilion and Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building were major capital projects that made up the GBMC “Promise Project.” Hammes developed the budget for the Promise Project program, facilitated the procurement of the architectural and construction management teams, and oversaw the design process.
“As we celebrate the final phase of the Promise Project with the Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, we once again acknowledge the significant role that Hammes played in keeping the entire program on track and within budget,” said Russ Sadler, GBMC HealthCare Senior Director of Planning, Construction and Design. “From overseeing the design and construction with precision to seamlessly leading the transition and activation phases, their attention to detail and commitment to excellence ensured we were ready to provide top-tier care from day one. Our experience working with Hammes has been nothing short of exceptional.”
“Our team of project management professionals and clinical experts were all deeply invested in the success of these major capital projects,” said Aimee Fogarty, Hammes Healthcare Regional Vice President. “It's been an honor to work alongside GBMC and is rewarding to see how these project are already having a positive impact on staff and patients.”
