Institutional
One of the fastest growing industries in America is health care. New construction ranges from nursing homes and hospitals to intensive care facilities. L.C. Gaskins has put forth a substantial effort to stay informed with evolving technology. Not only are new building codes being initiated, but new materials and construction techniques are being made available to the construction industry everyday. We continue to educate our construction forces and management team in the latest methods of construction for the institutional industry.

Some of the projects include: health care facilities, churches, speech and hearing centers, dental clinics, drug screening labs, hospital administration facilities, lab facilities buildings, occupational health facilities, and chemical storage facilities.
