Huntersville Vertical Expansion

New construction of a two-story, 53,000 sf vertical expansion bed tower above the existing Surgical Suite and an 8,000 sf expansion of the existing ICU Wing and Emergency Department (ED). The vertical expansion includes (28) new acute care beds, (10) new observation beds and a new Well Baby Nursery. ICU and ED expansion includes (2) new ICU’s, additional support space for the ED and a new egress stair tower. The project includes constant communication with the Hospital staff as we work above operating rooms and beside existing ICU rooms.

Presbyterian Main Dialysis Center

The Novant Dialysis Center at Presbyterian Main Hospital in Charlotte consisted of renovating a dated area of the hospital into a new, state-of-the-art Dialysis Center located on the 4th floor of an existing tower. The Dialysis Center features room for 14 beds, including two single bed areas, an IT/server room, restrooms, staff/administration area, chemical/treatment holding tank area, storage, and city views.

The project was located above high-tech lab equipment and space, and adjacent to two OR and ICU spaces. Due to logistical challenges, including a seven-floor med-gas and oxygen shut down while tying into the new lines on the Dialysis Center, our team maintained constant contact with the Hospital staff and took extreme caution to ensure the shut-down were completed properly.

In order to complete the project, a temporary construction entrance was constructed to allow for minimal disruption to ongoing operations for the hospital. All deliveries were scheduled during times that allowed for patient rest, as well as to keep a quiet environment. Extensive coordination was conducted with the lab space below to abide by “quiet times” for lab operation and research.
