Meridian Health System
Riverview Medical Center

Riverview Medical Center is located in the center of Red Bank, New Jersey, on the banks of the Navesink River. Torcon’s work at the hospital included interior renovations, new construction and a new three-level, 185-car parking garage. The project also featured extensive site upgrades that recast all interior roadways and parking lots, while maintaining normal hospital operations.

Two new entrances were added to the hospital under an ambitious recirculation plan that reoriented roadways at the front of the hospital. This reconfiguration also eliminated a public street, which became a new parking area.

Torcon segmented the project into seven distinct phases of construction and renovation. The initial phase primarily encompassed interior renovation on the fifth floor, including new HVAC and electrical service and new windows. Phase two consisted of foundations for a new three-story emergency department addition, as well as construction of a Linear Accelerator facility added to the hospital’s Booker Cancer Building. This phase also established a temporary emergency department ambulance entrance to allow for the construction of the replacement emergency department.

Phases three and four continued with new lobbies, construction of the two-story ED structure, major interior renovations, new building facades, canopies and site work. Under the next phase, the existing entrance canopy was removed and additional exterior facade work was completed.

At the completion of phases four and five, the new emergency department was opened and interior renovation of the old ER continued through the following phases. This work also involved erection of the parking garage on the phase two foundation. Completion of the garage allowed the start of phase seven site work, reconfiguration of the existing parking lot in front of the hospital and the removal of Union Street.

At the completion of this work, Torcon added a CyberKnife suite in a below-ground bunker. One of the newest approaches to cancer treatment, the CyberKnife is offered at only a handful of cancer centers.
