Project Summary
In April 2020, the FDEM and Florida Department of Health engaged SLS to provide immediate acute care medical facilities and services to Miami-Dade County residents testing positive for COVID-19.
Within 48 hours of activation, the SLS team began converting the Youth Fairgrounds into a 250-bed alternate care facility, complete with a free-standing, five-room mobile emergency unit on the grounds.
Working a fast-paced and compressed 18-hour per day, 7-day per week schedule, the SLS team completed the design/build phase in just less than a week. Multiple subcontractors, vendors and over 100 personnel were utilized during construction, with 100 or more medical, service and trade personnel engaged during operations.
