Atriax Group Groundbreaking at Cajah's Mountain EMS Base
On May 31, 2024, Atriax Group celebrated the groundbreaking of Cajah's Mountain EMS Base and Training Facility alongside Caldwell County and Cajah's Mountain officials, local first responders and community members. This design and construction project showcases the comprehensive design-build capabilities of Atriax, PLLC and Atriax Building Solutions. When completed, the base and training facility will feature three double bays to hold six emergency vehicles, an EMS training bay, and a simulated Emergency Department, as well as offices and additional training space. Atriax Group expects to have the project complete by July 2025.

New Award: Great Lakes CMOP EHRM
Recently, Atriax, PLLC was awarded a contract to upgrade the facility infrastructure to support the new Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) system. This is Atriax's fifth prime contract award to provide EHRM facilities design, and also calls upon our group's experience with the VA's seven Consolidated Mail Order Pharmacies (CMOP). CMOPs are automated facilities used to fill prescriptions for veterans. According to a J.D. Power 2023 US Pharmacy Study, CMOPs are a close second (out of the 10 major mail order pharmacy options) to Kaiser Permanente Pharmacy in overall customer satisfaction.
Three of our other EHRM projects in Kansas City, MO, Columbia, SC, and Dublin, GA have begun construction, and Atriax is overseeing this phase. Shoutouts to Mary Moorer, Justin Keener, and Ernest Davis for their significant support on these projects.
Wrapping Up NCA Projects
Our civil team has been hard at work on multiple National Cemetery Administration projects. As Q4 comes to a close, we are finishing design on Bay Pines (FL) National Cemetery's Phase 2 gravesite expansion, correcting deficiencies on Mound City (IL) National Cemetery's historic maintenance building and wrapping up construction on Jefferson Barracks (MO) gravesite expansion and improvements.
