(HOUSTON – June 29, 2022) – Arch-Con® Corporation’s Healthcare Division has seen sizable growth in recent years, tripling its revenue last year with projections for another promising year. To keep the project pace smooth and lead a dynamic division, Arch-Con recently appointed Shawn Morris as vice president, a true veteran in the industry.

“Shawn’s expertise in operations is as good as it gets,” Senior Vice President of Healthcare Evan Alford said. “He’s not afraid to try new things and has worked for nearly every major healthcare system in Houston.”

Morris has worked in healthcare construction for 23 years and in construction for nearly 30 working in the field and office on projects as large as $300 million. Approximately 70% of his healthcare projects have been within Houston’s medical center, the largest medical center in the world. Morris’ work includes vertical expansions, bio-science laboratories for medical testing, vivariums, research buildings, and intricate operating room projects for healthcare systems including Memorial Hermann, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston Methodist, UTHealth Houston, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and St. Luke’s Health.

Morris has notable career expertise in superintendent development, guiding seasoned superintendents through decision making, planning, organizational and communication skills. This experience has translated well into his leadership at Arch-Con.

”Working with team members on prioritizing, planning and executing the work is really enjoyable,” Morris said. “Since joining Arch-Con, I’m having more fun than I’ve had in years and the entrepreneurial mindset is exciting.

Since launching Arch-Con’s Healthcare Division in 2016, the company has completed 151 projects and expanded geographically beyond Houston with projects throughout the state of Texas as well as Arizona and Florida. Arch-Con is currently working on 21 projects across the state and Morris is leading the charge in Houston with projects including CLS Health, a four-story 104,800-square-foot medical office building located in Webster, Texas; HCA’s North Cypress Surgicenter, a 28,487-square-foot surgery center within Doctors’ Pavilion at HCA Houston Healthcare North Cypress; and Gisela Houseman Medical Campus in Orange, Texas.

“My initial goal is to streamline operations and work with the team to execute the work,” Morris said. “The long-term vision seems limitless with the ever-changing needs of the city and Arch-Con’s dedication to it. With that, I feel like we can make a genuine impact on healthcare construction in Houston and beyond.”
