Hartford HealthCare Bone & Joint Institute

Glastonbury, CT – Gilbane Building Company recently joined state and local officials and representatives from Hartford HealthCare and Hartford Hospital to celebrate the ribbon cutting for the new Bone & Joint Institute.

New England’s only orthopedic specialty hospital, the new Bone & Joint Institute features two distinct parts and was collaboratively designed by Perkins+Will and HDR Architecture.

Gilbane served as construction manager for the new 130,000sf Bone & Joint Institute featuring an inpatient building with 48 private inpatient rooms, with capacity to expand to 60; eight operating rooms; outpatient rehabilitation and wellness areas; and easy access to diagnostic and other services.

Connected via a skywalk is an outpatient surgery center and medical facility with three outpatient surgery rooms; offices for orthopedics, rheumatology, and musculoskeletal specialty care; and an auditorium for conferences that can double as a classroom with live surgical procedures and learning opportunities for staff.
