Large-Scale Hospital Façade Restoration in Brooklyn
Maimonides Medical Center, located at 4802 10th Avenue in Brooklyn, is one of the largest independent academic medical centers in the United States. With over 700 beds, it serves as a major healthcare hub, providing critical medical services to the Brooklyn community and beyond.
As a high-traffic healthcare facility, maintaining the structural integrity and safety of its buildings is essential. Over time, the hospital’s exterior systems experienced deterioration due to environmental exposure, aging materials, and continuous use.
MGR Restoration was engaged to perform Local Law 11 façade repairs across multiple buildings within the campus, including the Gellman, Aaron, and Kornish buildings. The project required a comprehensive approach to façade stabilization, structural repair, and waterproofing while ensuring minimal disruption to hospital operations.
Projects in active healthcare environments require careful coordination, safety planning, and efficient execution to maintain uninterrupted operations.
