Highlights
- The first eight floors and three basement levels of the two centers form a shared base that houses pediatric and adult emergency departments, operating suites and support facilities such as shops and a food court.
- To maximize utilization of a tight site, portions of the structure cantilever over roadways and existing campus structures.
- To meet the projects many engineering challenges – among them the need for structural systems to respond to the program needs of multiple user groups, heavy loads and strict vibration control required by sensitive medical equipment, and coordination with intricate MEP systems – our team collaborated closely with all design team members.
- During construction we increased our on-site presence to quickly evaluate and resolve owner and contractor questions.
- We worked closely with the steel detailer and connection designer to expedite shop drawing reviews.
- Our construction phase role provided significant benefits to project costs and schedule.
