Thomas Construction Group partnered with MedNorth Health Center to deliver a transformative 35,132 SF, two-story medical building in the heart of historic downtown Wilmington. Designed by Becker Morgan Group, this design-build project reflects seamless collaboration between design and construction, ensuring efficiency while meeting the center’s expanding healthcare needs.
The new facility includes exam and operatory rooms, offices, and flexible clinical spaces, all designed to enhance the patient experience and support MedNorth’s mission of “Building a Healthier Community.” As a non-profit provider, MedNorth offers a full range of primary and preventative care services, focusing on patients living at or below the federal poverty level.
Constructed with architectural tilt-up concrete panels, the building combines durability, energy efficiency, and a modern aesthetic that complements its urban surroundings. Once complete, the expansion will significantly increase MedNorth’s capacity to provide essential healthcare and strengthen its role as a vital resource for accessible, compassionate care in the Wilmington community.
Delivered under a Design-Build contract with Becker Morgan Group, Thomas and the design team were able to phase core and shell construction independently from the tenant improvement scope, keeping the project moving while federal funding approval for the interior buildout was still pending. Construction was underway before the funding had cleared, and the overall schedule never wavered.
We are honored that the MedNorth Health Center project was recognized at the 2026 ABC Excellence in Construction Awards, taking home both the Eagle Award and the prestigious Project of the Year Award.
Evaluated by an independent panel of industry experts, these peer-reviewed honors celebrate exceptional craftsmanship, innovative problem-solving, schedule and budget control, and an uncompromising commitment to jobsite safety.
