Gowan, Inc. will be responsible for the installation of the HVAC systems in the new 790,000 square foot, 15-story Maternity Center and its 1,000-car parking garage.
Based on the latest concepts of evidence-based design, this new facility recognizes the environment as a vital part of therapeutic treatment.
