Brant Construction, LLC was awarded the construction management contract for the Otangeles Medical Center, currently under construction in Merrillville, Indiana. This 24,000 square foot physician-owed facility was designed for leasing to various tenants.

The current 3-acre site, within one quarter mile of the I-65 and US Route 30 intersection, was originally two separate parcels which housed a restaurant and a small medical center. Both buildings were demolished, and the site replatted to facilitate this new center. Extensive site work and grading had to be performed to allow for on-site drainage, as no storm water run-off was allowed outside the boundaries of the site.

The building structure is a masonry brick/block exterior, with structural steel support elements and an insulated metal deck. A rubber membrane roof provides a watertight system, while the three architecturally designed towers have a standing seam roof to offer an attractive facade. All interior spaces which face the street are waiting areas that will enjoy the natural light from large insulated windows.

In house services include a full diagnostic x-ray facility and physical therapy center, along with doctor suites, primary and urgent care, and a corporate health center.

Groundbreaking took place on August 13, 2004, and Brant is on-schedule for an aggressive completion date of July, 2005.
