Bayhealth Sussex awarded for design and construction

August 31, 2020

Bayhealth announced it received several design and construction awards for the Bayhealth Hospital and Outpatient Center, Sussex Campus.

The American Institute of Architects - Baltimore Chapter presented Bayhealth Sussex Campus its inaugural Exceptional Detail Award.

The judges at the 2019 American Institute of Architects Baltimore Excellence in Design Awards praised architect CannonDesign for creating a medical campus that supports healthy communities, healthy land development, and forward-thinking healthcare. Judges’ notes said, “There is an element of warmth and elegance in the design instead of a cold and sterile feeling like most healthcare environments.”

The award focused on how the new hospital reflects its surroundings – the natural landscape of southern Delaware, particularly the coastal features. Judges called the wooden wave wall in the hospital lobby a beautiful example of excellent millwork. 

Associated Builders and Contractors Delaware selected contractor The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company for an Excellence in Construction award in the $100M & over category.  Sussex Campus contractor Eastern Industrial Services received a Merit Award for its contribution to the project. Eastern Industrial Services provided multi-craft services in support of Whiting-Turner such as thermal insulation, scaffolding and coatings.

Bayhealth’s trade partner Battaglia Electric Inc. received the Best Electrical Construction Award from General Building Contractors Association for its work on the Bayhealth Sussex Campus. Battaglia Electric worked with Whiting-Turner and CannonDesign to feed over a half-mile of service feeder, fiber optic and control cables from an outdoor substation. The judges said their work helped make the project more customizable, and easier to lay out and install.
