Alkek Expansion Pre-Submittal Conference October 5, 2006
Team Members • Jim Waters, Project Director, Shell and Core • Janet Sisolak, Project Director, Interior Build-out • Pam Redden, Project Director, Clinical Operations • Dan Butterwick, Chief Architect • Greg Hudgins, Project Manager
Feasibility StudyConducted from December 2005 through July 2006
Impacts Evaluated Construction Impacts Design Impacts Operational Impacts Downstream Impacts
Construction Impacts Site Logistics/Staging Construction Access Construction Supply - Bates and Bertner Crane Placement & Removal Vibration/Noise Waterproofing Infection Control - dust Safety-dropped loads
Construction Impacts Site Logistics/Staging • Create Contractor’s Entrance to Rotunda • Removal of Canopies • Closing West Entrance to Rotunda
Construction Access • Allow for emergency exits • Keep reception desk open • Keep construction traffic out of the main lobby • Maintain access to Physical Therapy
Intermittent Lane Closures along Bertner and Bates will be required Construction Impacts Construction Supply - Bates and Bertner
Construction Impacts Crane Placement & Removal In existing empty staff elevator shafts
Construction Impacts Site Logistics/Staging Construction Access Construction Supply - Bates and Bertner Crane Placement & Removal Vibration/Noise Waterproofing Infection Control - dust Safety-dropped loads
Design Impacts Structure – continuation of concrete frame Use of lighter weight wall panels – fiber reinforced concrete HVAC Issues Electrical Issues Plumbing Issues Wind Tunnel Study
Changes to Codes and Standards • Increased Room Size • Increased Toilet Size – all fully accessible • Operational Improvements • Additional space to accommodate Murphy Beds and to allow appropriate circulation for nursing • Flexible Acuity Room Design Impacts to Number of Beds per Floor
Design Impacts Maximize footprint by eliminating deep recesses at windows, put square footage back into patient room Overall appearance of the tower can be preserved
Design Impacts Shift stairs and major mechanical chases closer to elevator core, creating more support space directly adjacent to nursing unit Transition can happen at Level 13, the new mechanical floor
Elevators • Infill two existing shafts for staff • Create 6 new passenger cabs
Growth model may drive recommendation for build out (Inpatient vs. Outpatient vs. support) • Sequence should minimize disruption to occupants as shell floors are built out. Design Impacts Optimal sequence for future build-out
Shell Vacant during construction Proposed Stacking
Operational Impacts Closing of Rotunda drive and west entrance Visitors - Garage 2 Valet Operations Access Flooding Exposure Discharges Patient Advocacy/Visitor Center/Porcelain Bird Collection 12th Floor/protected environment rooms PT/OT – Closure of gardens used for gait training and pet therapy
Operational ImpactsKey Issues Alkek Drive and West Entrance How can the duration be mitigated? G12 must be vacated Potential staging area for contractor, but space must be preserved
