PROJECT OBJECTIVERenovate an existing surgical ward in a 1980’s medical center for a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and Clinical Support Space. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONRavatt Albrecht & Associates designed and engineered 12,132 sq. ft. of renovations for this $1.25M, award-winning, LEED self-certified Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and Clinic Support Space. Work included coordination of all design, demolition, preconstruction, construction, and close-out for this fast-track design-build project with previously defined schematic plans. The entire “core” service area was remodeled to create an environment, which pushes the paradigm of the typical stark hospital environment. Additionally, a full separation was of the new Pediatric intensive Care Unit from the new General Pediatrics ward was essential. The original design concept was to integrate a glass wall with etched art glass to provide an inviting and non-threatening entrance, but a conventionally framed wall with appropriately placed windows and a painted graphic mural accomplishes the desired effect and provides an effective barrier.
