Miami Beach Convention Center Conversion COVID-19
Summary
Jacksonville District Commander Col. Drew Kelly works from the Miami Beach Convention Center ballroom as emergency generators are tested at the facility.
USACE awarded a contract Monday to convert the Miami Beach Convention Center into a 450-bed hospital. Construction began Tuesday with completion scheduled by April 27.
During emergencies, USACE is the federal government's lead public works and engineering support agency, and given its extensive work in building medical facilities for its military stakeholders, is uniquely qualified to tackle this engineering challenge.
