The Challenge
The renovation and expansion of the first-floor Healthy Lifestyles space presented several significant challenges, including integrating plumbing, fire protection, mechanical, electrical, technology, and low-voltage systems into a complex healthcare environment. The addition of a 2,000 SF ICU and step-down unit required careful coordination to meet stringent healthcare regulations while maintaining operational efficiency. Additionally, the project involved designing a new exterior canopy and entry point while staying within the $14.5M project budget.
