Overview of Behavioral Health Center Danville
The Behavioral Health Center Danville project brought a new behavioral health hospital to Danville, Pennsylvania through a partnership between Acadia Healthcare, Geisinger, and Warfel. Following construction of the Moosic facility, the Danville location became the second of two identical behavioral health hospitals developed for adult and adolescent populations. The 72,578 square foot medical facility includes 96 patient beds. The hospital also incorporates spaces intended for behavioral health services and patient care. From the outset, speed to market remained a critical priority supported through early planning and coordinated execution.
Planning and Early Project Coordination
Due to the critical priority placed on speed to market, development of the Danville hospital emphasized early planning from the earliest stages of the project. Early planning centered around site approach considerations and building envelope decisions. Planning also focused on integration of major building systems across the facility. In addition, proactive coordination with state and local authorities remained a critical part of the approval and permitting process. These efforts helped guide the hospital’s schedule while keeping the accelerated construction timeline on track.
Behavioral Health Center Danville Construction
Construction of the Danville hospital followed completion of the identical behavioral health facility in Moosic. Experience gained during the first project informed sequencing, design considerations, and delivery strategies across the Danville location. Rather than repeating the original process, the team applied insight gained during the Moosic project to refine sequencing and optimize delivery of the Danville facility. Throughout development of the second hospital, the project team continued evaluating project decisions with close attention to budget, value, and schedule efficiency.
Behavioral Health Center Services and Project Delivery
Warfel completed the Behavioral Health Center Danville project as the second of two identical behavioral health hospitals developed with Acadia Healthcare and Geisinger. Insight gained during construction of the Moosic facility helped shape planning, sequencing, and delivery of the Danville location. This experience also helped maintain the project’s accelerated timeline. The completed 96-bed hospital now serves adult and adolescent populations within the Danville community.
