JE Dunn Construction is thrilled to announce the completion of two projects in Cornelius, North Carolina: the new Atrium Health Lake Norman Hospital and Medical Office Building.

Hospital construction was completed in June, and the facility welcomed its first patient shortly after on July 1, 2025. The medical office building was finished on Friday, August 15. Both buildings were completed by the JE Dunn | McFarland Construction joint venture team.

Designed with the community in mind, the nearly 200,000-square-foot, five-floor, state-of-the-art hospital features a 24/7 emergency room, dozens of inpatient beds, labor and delivery floor, operating and procedure rooms, imaging, lab and pharmacy. The building also features the latest technology, including secure virtual nursing capabilities and in-room dining service, as well as a healing garden and art installations from local artists.

The 66,690-square-foot medical office building includes 61 exam rooms and two x-ray rooms for a number of specialties, including OB-GYN, heart and vascular, general surgery and pulmonary care. Additional specialties include Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute orthopedic services and Atrium Health Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute cardiovascular services.

“The completion of this facility marks an important step in Atrium Health’s mission to improve health, elevate hope and advance healing – for all,” said Kyle Drake, Vice President and Carolinas Healthcare Group Leader at JE Dunn. “This new hospital and medical office building will provide much-needed access to high-quality care for the rapidly growing Lake Norman community, and JE Dunn | McFarland Construction are honored to help bring Atrium Health’s vision to life through thoughtful planning, collaboration, dedication, and innovation.”
