Project Description

The Hill Group negotiated the HVAC, medical gas piping, plumbing, fire protection, testing/balancing and commissioning for this nine-story, 378,000 square foot project. A local partner, A&R Mechanical, is responsible for the field installation. This is the first healthcare project in which Hill provided all of the mechanical trades.

The basic building arrangement is:

  • 1st floor/Offices and outpatient services
  • 2nd floor/Nine operating rooms
  • 3rd floor/Mechanical space
  • 4th floor/Mechanical space with six custom air handling units
  • 6th-8th floors/138 single patients rooms
  • 9th floor/Undeveloped

Chilled and hot water are piped to the new building from the central plant. A new 1,500-ton centrifugal water chiller and matching cooling tower were added to the central plant. Each patient room has a VAV box with a hot water reheat coil and radiant heating panels. The new hospital incorporates 982 plumbing fixtures and 4,222 sprinkler heads.
