When a leading healthcare provider needed a facility that could support modern clinical trials, they turned to McRae Enterprises to transform a failing 1970s-era steel building into a cutting-edge research center. The challenge? A structure weakened by decades of neglect, structural deficiencies, and foundational settlement. The vision? A state-of-the-art laboratory that could power innovation for years to come.
We approached the project with the meticulous planning and hands-on leadership that define our construction process. We reinforced the building’s structure, integrated modern MEP systems, and executed a full interior demolition and rebuild—delivering an open, industrial aesthetic with exposed steel, concrete, corrugated siding, and fiber-reinforced concrete panels.
To complete the transformation, we upgraded the site with a shared walkway, new lighting, irrigation, and landscaping, creating a welcoming environment that balanced functionality with beauty.
Despite the building’s initial condition, we delivered the fully repurposed facility on time in just 9 months. The client was thrilled—not just with the final product, but with how smoothly the process unfolded from start to finish.
