Client/Owner: Ellis Medicine

Location: Schenectady NY

Contact: Curtis Benedetto, Jr, PE

Description: GPI provided design services for the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems for this 25,000 sq ft phased project to completely renovate and modernize Ellis Hospital's interventional surgery and procedure facility. The centerpiece of the center is a new 1,250 sq ft hybrid operating suite but the center also included specialized spaces for interventional radiology, angiography, and electrophysiology labs. This operating suite is equipped with the medical imaging and other technologies needed for both minimally invasive procedures as well as traditional surgeries. This will allow surgeons to immediately transition between procedures should the patient’s condition require it without transport to a different procedure room. The project entailed numerous relocations and renovations, including: relocation of the pathology lab to a separate wing of the hospital, consolidation, and expansion of the pre/post recovery units, relocation of the existing radiology suites to the new center, and the creation of a new EP lab. The phased project also kept all existing services open during the construction process.
