Barton Malow has officially finished the fourth-floor fit-out at Sheltering Arms Institute in Goochland, Virginia. Sheltering Arms is a nationally recognized traumatic injury rehabilitation hospital, and this project expands its capacity to deliver some of the highest levels of care worldwide.
The 30,000 SF shell space on the hospital’s top floor now includes an additional 30 private patient rooms, each equipped with en-suite bathrooms, large picture windows, and flat-screen TVs. There is also a new gym that features an exoskeleton vector track, to walk without hands-on support from staff, further enhancing the hospital’s ability to deliver state-of-the-art mobility and rehabilitation therapies.
Throughout the project, Barton Malow’s teams leveraged their deep Infection Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) expertise to maintain the highest safety standards in the active hospital environment. The project involved extensive negative-air containment systems, proper ventilation routes, and tiered containment strategies to prevent the spread of dust and pathogens throughout the hospital.
The project began in January 2025 and reached substantial completion in November 2025, with the first patient seen on Monday, January 19, 2026.
