SKOKIE, IL  The Missner Group announces that the firm was selected for the renovation of Illinois Bone & Joint Institute's (IBJI) Morton Grove, Illinois, location. The facility will remain operational throughout the duration of construction.

The renovation of the Morton Grove facility will begin with the demolition of an existing MRI suite and the deconstruction of an indoor swimming pool. The Missner Group will replace the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems within the MRI suite, install new RF shielding, and construct the space with non-ferrous materials prior to installing the new state-of-the-art MRI equipment. Once the existing indoor swimming pool is deconstructed, it will be filled with structural stone and topped with flooring. The Missner Group will then construct an open work area to serve as the new physical and occupational training space.

"Having worked with Illinois Bone & Joint on numerous occasions, we are familiar with their operations and working requirements," said Drue Stoehr, Vice President of Construction. "We will complete all demolition work at night to eliminate noise during business hours. We will also construct a temporary demising wall to separate the construction space from the existing facilities. We expect a smooth process and an efficient completion of the space by the end of the year."

Stoehr is the Project Executive for The Missner Group. He will lead the construction team including Heath Yarger, Project Manager and Len Corso, Project Superintendent. Technology Consulting Group is providing architectural services and MB Real Estate Healthcare Group is the property manager.
