The Challenge

Mahaska Health needed to expand its hospital facility to include a new surgery, endoscopy, obstetrics, and inpatient care. The project required significant modifications to the existing central plant and hospital infrastructure, adding complexity to the design and implementation process. Additionally, our team needed to provide multiple options for the addition and infrastructure while ensuring the modifications were budget-conscious and sustainable for the long term.

To address these challenges, we collaborated closely with the rest of the design team to present various options for both the addition and the infrastructure upgrades. We also partnered with the utility company’s energy modeling expert to develop payback scenarios for different architectural, mechanical, and electrical design choices. This allowed us to create budget-conscious central plant strategies that would ensure efficient and long-lasting service for the facility.
