As
the first phase of a 10-year master planning and redesign
of Halifax Medical Center’s main campus, the new
Patient Tower and Emergency Department will add 204 licensed
beds and more than four times the space for emergency
services. The 10-story tower will have all-private patient
rooms and increased family space including a resource
area. The new ED will be on the tower’s gound floor
and will have 107 new treatment rooms. The tower’s
structural design is a two-way mild reinforced cast-in-place
concrete slab with concrete shear walls used as part of
the lateral system. Construction will require demolition
of the existing parking garage and redevelopment of the
site to provide on-grade replacement parking for both
the hospital and the new addition. Careful coordination
is required throughout the phased construction, including
the temporary relocation of the existing ED’s entrances.
The existing raised helistop will be demolished and a
new helistop constructed on top of the tower.Serving the
tower will be the new two-story central energy plant.
The plant’s cast-in-place reinforced concrete frame
structure will have an exterior skin comprised of precast
concrete wall panels, aluminum curtain wall and louvers,
and insulating low-E glass. Three new boilers, three 1200-ton
chillers, circulating pumps, three 1500-kw generators
and medical vacuum and air systems will be on the first
floor while new emergency generators and emergency switchgear
are on the second floor. New cooling towers will be located
outside on-grade with a walled enclosure to protect them
against hurricane-force winds and wind-driven projectiles.
TLC also provided design services for the voice-data,
audio-visual and security systems for the patient tower,
ED expansion and CEP.
