Catholic Medical Center Breaks Ground on $43 Million Central Energy Plant

Catholic Medical Center, in Manchester, New Hampshire, broke ground on a new $43-million central energy plant. The new CEP will modernize and strengthen CMC’s heating, ventilation, air handling and power systems. The project will increase system reliability, reduce energy consumption and help ensure consistent temperature and air quality regulation throughout the facility.

The project is one of CMC’s most significant infrastructure investments in recent years and aligns with long-term plans to enhance operational reliability, while improving the hospital environment.

Construction manager Gilbane Building Company is overseeing the multi-phased construction project of the hospital’s central energy plant, with architectural design led by Barge Design Solutions. Both firms are coordinating closely with CMC teams to ensure the project proceeds safely and efficiently on an active hospital campus. The new central energy plant is expected to be completed in early 2027.
