Significant growth in capabilities and services at Ephrata (PA) Community Hospital in recent years means more employees. When available surface parking was no longer sufficient for their needs, officials at the 124-bed medical/surgical facility turned to High Concrete Group for a solution.

High Concrete brought more than its reputation as the nation’s leading builder of precast parking structures to the project. It also brought The High Companies: Greenfield Architects, Ltd. and High Construction Company, offering Ephrata a design-build team with single source accountability.

Project owners were pleased with the outcome. Ephrata Community Hospital Chief Operations Officer Bob Graupensperger explains: “We wanted to be a good neighbor, so we had to address the need for parking. Given that ours is a confined campus, our only option was to go up. The garage is a really nice addition to the campus—I’ve received many compliments from employees and visitors.”
