Designed
and constructed in phases, the new six-story tower will
add 87 beds initially and can accommodate an 100 additional
beds to meet future needs. Patient rooms will be on all
four exterior sides of the curved tower with floor-to-ceiling
windows for ample daylighting. Standing work stations
for nurses will be at both ends on each floor. The majority
of the patient rooms are private and many of the semi-private
rooms in the current building will be converted into private
rooms. The project includes a five-level parking garage
and a covered walkway connecting the tower to the garage
and the existing hospital. Shelled-in spaces on the fifth
and sixth floors provide the room and flexibility for
future growth. When the tower and walkway are complete,
renovation to the current patient wing will begin. The
existing 118-bed hospital will evolve into 329 beds after
all floors of the crescent-shaped tower are put into operation.
TLC engineers designed the mechanical and electrical systems
for the new and renovated areas including: new medical
gas head-end systems featuring oxygen, medical vacuum,
medical air, nitrogen manifolds and nitrous oxide manifolds;
a complete update of the campus chilled water system including
new cooling towers, new 700-ton chiller and new pumping;
new electrical services including a new normal 3000-amp
system for the tower; and a new 1200-kw emergency generator
system for the tower.
