Project Scope

Vertical Expansion
This project involved a three-story vertical expansion atop the existing parking garage. Work included strategic planning to ensure uninterrupted hospital operations.
Pedestrian Bridge
The scope included construction of a pedestrian bridge/skywalk. Structural reinforcement of both the hospital and garage was required to support the addition and bridge.
Imaging
Work consisted of demo, chiller installation in the central plant, fit-out of the Heart Institute, renovations to the existing CICU, mechanical, and electrical system upgrades. The space features procedural and diagnostic areas, cath labs, MRI, waiting, and conference rooms.
