Maine Medical Center: Malone Family Tower Expansion, Portland, ME

The Malone Family Tower at Maine Medical Center—a state-of-the-art, 300,000-square-foot facility on Congress Street in Portland—marked the final phase of the hospital’s major expansion and modernization initiative.

In collaboration with Maine Medical Center, Colliers International, Perkins&Will, and Turner Construction, Code Red Consultants worked closely with project stakeholders to ensure alignment with all applicable codes and standards.
