Transylvania Regional Hospital – ED Addition
August 4, 2016 In

Transylvania Regional Hospital – ED Addition

The new Emergency Department at Transylvania Regional Hospital (11,000 sf addition and 2,400 sf renovation) has 12 beds in larger rooms, specifically designed to efficiently layout equipment and accommodate caregiving teams. These rooms surround a centralized nursing station, which provides optimal supervision of all patients. Four rooms are dedicated to behavioral health patients, as well as additional space for rooms for less traumatic emergencies, such as bone breaks. An orthopedics/cast room in the department will also speed treatment times.

Several efficiencies were built into the design of the new space including: Four (4) behavioral health safe rooms which save staff from having to deconstruct/construct rooms meant for other purposes; equipment storage located nearby on the unit; and a dedicated room for medicine dispensing.

Privacy and comfort are the priorities in the new space. ED physicians have dedicated space for updating notes and consulting with family members. Those who have minor injuries have a place to wait away from the EMS entrance, and those who accompany people to the Emergency Department have a more comfortable place to wait.

White Labs

The White Labs Asheville project was a Construction Management at Risk project that combined a complete interior demolition and historic renovation of an existing two-story, 27,000 sf historical building with a new  6,200 sf two-story addition. The majority of the existing first-floor space was converted to a large class 100,000 sf (IS0 8) Clean Room for Yeast Production, Yeast Concentration and Bacteria/Micro Labs. The existing second floor was converted to offices and cold storage and materials management. The new addition included a new full-service commercial kitchen, restaurant and tasting room, as well as a Community teaching lab.

The renovation included the removal/replacement of the entire existing slab on grade, cutting/reinforcing the elevated slab for a new stairwell and hydraulic elevator and complete replacement of MEP systems. The addition was a steel-framed structure with elevated reinforced lightweight concrete slabs on metal decking. The building envelope consists of TPO membrane roofing, brick masonry veneer, storefront metal panels, and exterior gypsum plaster with frye-reglet reveals.

Site improvements encompassed a new parking lot, relocation of existing utilities, a new mechanical building, custom stamped concrete paving and an extension/repair of an existing retaining wall.
