--- title: P3 8 Eastern State Hospital --- [Skip to content](https://info.gilbaneco.com/p3-8#main-content) [Back](https://info.gilbaneco.com/publicprivatepartnerships?hsLang=ja) ### Eastern State Hospital Williamsburg, Virginia Gilbane Development Company entered into a public private partnership with the Virginia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (BHDS) to execute a strategic real estate plan for Eastern State Hospital to consolidate campus operations, centralize patient buildings, and eliminate obsolete and inefficient structures. Gilbane was responsible for the planning, design, entitlements, abatement/demolition, furnishing, construction, commissioning, as well as the relocation of patients and staff for all phases. In line with the recommendations of a comprehensive feasibility study, the existing Hancock Geriatric Treatment Center was replaced with a new 150-bed, 115,000 SF facility on an 18- acre portion of the Eastern State Hospital campus adjacent to existing patient and staff support services. 26 months after inception, all 150 patients were successfully relocated to their new home, in less than half the time that would have been required under traditional means of procurement and delivery. This innovative, streamlined delivery model eliminated many risks to DBHDS and ESH typically associated with implementing such a complex project.   #### Why P3? - Turnkey development approach under Virginia’s Public-Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act - Speed to market - Risk transfer - Financial certainty **Developer**: Gilbane Development Company **Site Manager**: Gilbane Building Company **General Contractor: **KBS **Architect: **Clark Nexsen **Project Size: **188,000 SF (Adult Mental Health Treatment Center) 115,000 SF (Hancock Geriatric Treatment Center) **Completion Date**: December 2010 **Awards: **National Council for Public-Private Partnerships (NCPPP) Innovations Award, 2009 Design Excellence Award, Virginia Chapter of ASID and the Virginia/West Virginia Chapter of IIDA [Back](https://info.gilbaneco.com/publicprivatepartnerships?hsLang=ja)
