Project Scope
This four-story, cast-in-place structure included a medical office building (55,000-sq.-ft.) and adjacent four level parking garage (64,000-sq.-ft.). The building included metal panels, window walls, custom canopies, sunshades, and louvers.
The site had an existing multi-story structure that was abated and demolished prior to the start of construction. Due to building loads, and its proximity to the Intracoastal Waterway, soil improvements were necessary prior to the start of construction.
- Level 1: 10,412-sq.-ft. Lobby, café, reception, imaging (including MRI)
- Level 2: 12,808-sq.-ft. Physical therapy and support spaces
- Level 3: 15,513-sq.-ft. Exam rooms, X-ray, support spaces
- Level 4: 16,304-sq.-ft. Ambulatory surgery center (4 OR’s, 4 Pre-Op & 10 Post-Op) along with required support spaces
- Parking Garage: 147 spaces
The design team planned the structures to accommodate for future vertical expansion. USPI partnered with HSS (Hospital for Special Surgery) on this project. The design team for this project E4H and SWA who worked in conjunction with DPR to build this project.
Strategies to Complete HSS's Goals
DPR was committed to achieving an expedited turnover date. The following strategies were used to make sure the client's goals were met:
- Procured Two Layout Crews for the Drywall – this allowed MEP trades to get risers/duct shafts through the building earlier allowing the drywall team to be more efficient closing walls. This provided an earlier start to the finishes team, and assisted with additional time for the high end finishes required throughout.
- Tight Urban Core Site – worked with FPL to cantilever the power lines away from the building for a 3-month period to complete the structure to complete the structure. This saved the client time and money because the alternative was to run the power lines underground.
- Leveraged Our In-House VDC & Technology Team - laser scanned elevator shafts after each pour to ensure we maintained layout. This confirmed elevator shaft integrity without requiring rework when the elevator trade partner came to complete their scope.
We think you'll like this, too.
