HEALTHCARE PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Presbyterian Women’s Center (now Novant Health)
Charlotte, NC
Pinnacle Award, Best Building Project, Assoc. General Contractors
Excellence in Construction Award, ABCC
Best Private Building, Southeast Construction magazine
This project involved creating a new 62,000 SF women’s center
healthcare facility on top of an existing, ten level parking deck. The
new floor on top of the parking deck was connected to the 7th floor
of the adjacent main hospital by a new 16,000 SF addition. This
addition was constructed above the three-story portion of the
hospital below. The height of the addition forced the addition to be
designed to meet high-rise building code requirements. The new
addition included 16 labor and delivery rooms, 14 ante partum
rooms, 39 post partum rooms, three isolation rooms and three C-
section rooms, two nurseries along with support areas and
administrative offices. A 5,000 SF lobby on the ground floor
included new elevators to serve the women’s center on the 7th
floor. After this work was completed, the project’s second phase
focused on the
renovation of the
existing hospital.
Roughly 40,000
SF of the 7th floor
was renovated,
creating a new NICU area with 36 bassinets, two isolation rooms, new
patient rooms and other required support areas. The same areas were
also renovated on the 6th floor, creating new patient rooms where the
nursery was previously located and renovating the existing patient rooms.
Project Size: 170,000 SF.

The Park Medical Office Complex
Monroe, NC
This project included a total of seven new buildings.
Four were designated for retail and three were
designed for medical office space. The main
medical office building included an ambulatory
surgery center (ASC) and a diagnostic imaging
center. A mobile MRI is also next to the building.
The ASC included a single operating room and a
future operating room, pre-op and post-op beds,
electric steam sterilizers, decon room, locker
rooms, clean supply and soiled utility rooms. The engineering systems included a generator for emergency power with three
branches of power and a chiller/boiler system to provide superior thermal comfort and humidity control, a nurse call system,
a complete med gas system with the manifolds located outside and a new air compressor and vaccuum pump inside the
mechanical room. The main MOB included an Ambulatory Surgery Center (9,200SF), a Diagnostic Imaging Center (8,000SF)
with a CT,X-ray & Mammography Room, a Mobile MRI, and administrative offices. Project Size: 240,000 SF.

HEALTHCARE PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Presbyterian Matthews – Emergency Department Expansion
Matthews, NC
ABC Excellence in Construction Award
This project’s scope focused on a new 14,000 SF addition to the existing
emergency department at Presbyterian Hospital in Matthews, NC. The
expansion added to the Trauma side of the department, and included 17
multi-treatment bays, new entrances for ambulatory and ambulance
patients, a new waiting room, triage rooms and support areas. The
project includes 32 exam rooms,
three isolation rooms, one protective
room and support areas as required.
The 11,170 SF renovation of the
existing emergency department was completed in three phases to allow the Emergency
Department to continue to operate at all times. Any planned shut downs for tying into
any existing systems were closely coordinated with the staff to minimize any impact to
daily operations. Future plans for the hospital include adding a surgical floor on top of
the emergency department and connecting to the existing hospital. Therefore, the
location of equipment and the size of the utilities provided from the physical plant were
located and sized with the ability to add the future, second floor with minimal disruption
to the Emergency Department. A new chiller and cooling tower were also added to the
physical plant to meet the new cooling load created by the addition, and to provide
redundant cooling capacity for the hospital. This included providing new condenser
water pumps, chiller pump and a new variable speed chilled water system pump. Project
Size: 25,170 SF.

Presbyterian Hospital at Huntersville – Ambulatory Surgery Center
Huntersville, NC
This was a renovation of roughly 8,000 square feet of shell office space located
on the first floor of the existing four story medical office building that is
connected to Presbyterian Hospital in Huntersville. The original building
engineering systems were not designed to meet the requirements involved with
an operating room suite. Therefore, new mechanical, electrical plumbing
systems were designed and
installed to serve this tenant
separately. The systems
included a new chiller and air handling on grade with the ductwork up
from the ground floor and through the floor level of the first floor.. The
operating room suite included two operating rooms, nurses station, pre-
op beds and a separate recovery area. Since the facility is to be operated
and maintained by Presbyterian Hospital, the existing medical gas
systems in the hospital were connected to and extended to the
Ambulatory Surgery Center for use. A new diesel generator was provided
as part of the design with 48 hour fuel capacity. The new electrical
service consisted of three new transfer switches for the required three
branches of power required in a hospital environment. Project Size:
8,000 SF.

HEALTHCARE PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Midtown Medical Operating Room Suite
Charlotte, NC
This project involved creating a new operating room suite on the 7th floor
of an eight-floor high rise medical office building. The new suite included
new operating rooms, two new endoscopy rooms, and a recovery area and
support space. Among the more challenging aspects of this project was
the fact that this building was not originally designed to accommodate an
operating suite. Therefore, on the mechanical engineering side, a
completely new system
was provided to handle
the new suite. This new system included a new air handling unit located
on the roof with pre-filters and final filters, an air-cooled chiller located
on the roof, new exhaust for the endoscopy rooms, and new boilers,
pumps and piping systems for hot water heating. The plumbing work
involved adding a new room for the medical gas manifolds, new vacuum
pump and air compressor. The medical gas manifold room was located in
the basement of the facility, requiring the new medical gas lines to be
routed up through seven floors of the existing building. New lighting, a
nurse call system and critical power were also added to the project.
Project Size: 600 SF.

Graystone Ophthalmology
Hickory, NC
This project involved the design of a new, two-story ophthalmology
clinic located in Hickory, NC, with a plan that allows for a future
ambulatory surgery center and two additional operating rooms. The
clinic accommodates eight practitioners representing multiple sub-
specialties, and has a Lasik procedure room. Project Size: 52,000 SF

Presbyterian Oncology Renovation
Charlotte, NC
This was a renovation of a portion of the existing Oncology Department at Presbyterian Hospital. This involved a complete
demolitoin of the existing space and providing new systems as required for the new layout of the patient areas. This included
an open area for patient treatments as well as several private patient rooms. Also included in the project was a new
pharmacy with dedicated exhaust and dedicated filtration to meet requirements of USP 797. Project Size: 4,500 SF.
Levine Cancer Institute
Charlotte, NC
Renovation of an existing office and shell space. Project included a new exam rooms, offices, open area patient infusion area

pump located inside the mechanical room. Project Size: 8,500 SF.

CMC Northeast Rehab Building
Concord, NC

The project was a new, two story medical office building which
will serve as the new rehab center for CMC Northeast Hospital.
This project included physical and occupational therapy,
audiology, an indoor running track, aerobics rooms,
demonstration kitchen, several fitness areas, a therapy pool,
doctors offices and support spaces. The mechanical system
consists of packaged VAV rooftop units with terminal units for
zone control. A dedicated dehumidification system has been
provided for the therapy pool area. There is an emergency
generator provided to power all life safety devices. Lighting
controls are provided throughout the building. Project Size:
75,000 SF.

Carolina Family Eye Center
Charlotte, NC
Carolina Family Eye Care is a 5,600 SF renovation of a second generation office space. Optima Engineering provided
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection design for the project. It was completed at the beginning of 2009, with
much of the existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing base systems remaining in place. The mechanical system is a
variable volume and temperature system, which allows a single packaged unit to be divided into several zones to allow more
closely controlled temperatures throughout the spaces. Electrical power has been re-distributed throughout to
accommodate the new layout and power requirements of the space. Most lighting has been reused with select areas being
illuminated with new fixtures. Plumbing design has been limited to a new water heater and minor changes to the fixture
layout. Project Size: 5,6000 SF.
