The project also includes a pedestrian bridge to access an existing parking garage and extensive renovations to the existing building.
Structural Construction
The new construction is a steel-framed structure designed to support a total of seven stories.During the current phase only the first five stories will be constructed. Portions of the new “E” wing will be constructed over the existing emergency room which will remain operable during construction. All of the existing and new construction was modeled using Revit Structure. This model was used to sprepare the construction documents and improve the coordination between the design team.
