Merit Construction, Inc. recently completed construction on a state-of-the-art medical complex housing some of the region's leaders in preventative, predictive, and personal patient care. Merit was selected to build the East Tennessee Healthcare Center, which totals 175,000 square feet and is now home to two anchor tenants - Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center and Tennessee Cancer Specialists - as well as several other healthcare related providers.

Knoxville Comprehensive Breast Center's new space is the largest freestanding breast cancer center in the nation, and allows the group to serve even more patients. Their move to the new medical center doubles the number of ultrasound rooms, adds a second breast-fitted high resolution magnetic resonance imaging machine, and offers expanded mammography examination rooms.

Merit Construction worked closely with the building owners, tenants, and The Lewis Group architectural firm to ensure the space is comfortable and attractive for patients and staff. Though the building houses state-of-the-art medical technology, its look and feel is anything but institutional and reflects the groups' compassionate and comprehensive services.

In addition to medical construction, Merit has extensive experience in buildings of all shapes and sizes including educational facilities, office buildings, industrial, specialty construction, houses of worship, retail and historic renovation projects.
