His most significant contributions during his military career were in the area of health facilities planning. He was personally involved and responsible for the programming, design, and/or construction management of more Army health facilities than any officer since the Korean War era - over thirty replacement facility projects. From being involved in the design of Building 2 at Walter Reed AMC in 1970, to the being on the shovel line for the ground breaking of the new Womack Army Medical Center in 1994, CEM Maxwell worked to provide the Army with the best of health facilities. Major projects included the new Womach, Madigan and Brooke Army Medical Centers, the new Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the NCO Academy at Fort Sam Houston, as well as numerous health and dental clinics.

As the Director of the U.S. Army Baylor Program, he enhanced the program by providing an additional course classroom, dividing the class into two sections, renovating the classrooms and providing improved technology to include network drops to each student seat. He designed and oversaw the construction of the AMEDD Classroom of the Future, dedicated by The Surgeon General in 1995. He expanded the Baylor teaching staff and obtained Baylor University teaching position recognition for each faculty member.
