UMass Memorial selected STV to serve as Owner’s Project Manager (OPM) for a new Satellite Emergency Facility (SEF) in Groton, Massachusetts – a vital healthcare investment designed to restore emergency services to the Nashoba Valley. The SEF will bring full adult and pediatric emergency care, diagnostic imaging and a helipad to a central site, providing faster, more reliable access to care for communities that previously faced long EMS transport times.
What challenges is STV addressing?
STV is managing a fast-track schedule that requires close coordination among design, permitting and construction teams to deliver the facility safely and efficiently. The firm is also addressing the integration of complex site infrastructure, environmental permitting and regulatory compliance, ensuring the project meets Massachusetts Department of Public Health and emergency-care standards.
What solutions is STV delivering?
As OPM, STV provides comprehensive oversight of every project phase – from planning and procurement through design and construction – guiding the client through key decisions and approvals. When complete, the facility will provide the same level of emergency care available in a hospital emergency department, with dedicated imaging suites and a helipad for critical transport.
How will this facility benefit the community and healthcare region?
Once open, the Groton SEF will dramatically improve access to emergency care for residents across the Nashoba Valley, reducing transport times and expanding regional healthcare equity. The project strengthens the local medical network, supports first responders and reestablishes a crucial safety net for an underserved region – helping ensure that urgent care is available close to home.
