The Family Birthplace

Overview

The 8th floor patient wings and core area of Memorial Regional Hospital’s North and South Towers were remodeled for infrastructure upgrades and modern finishes throughout. Their 33-bed unit was expanded to accommodate 53-beds, and features additional private birthing suites to meet community demand. The renovations also included two nurseries, a pharmacy and lab, and two separate nurse stations. The nurseries were furnished with new incubators and a state-of-the-art security system, including a mantrap to guard against infant kidnappings. This technology will be of utmost importance to keep newborns protected and safe.

Constructed under ICRA Class IV standards and AHCA-inspected, the renovations encompassed 35,826 SF. MEP systems replacement included a rooftop AHU. Construction took place during ongoing hospital activity, therefore the project was two-phased, requiring maximum coordination to assure minimal inconveniences to patients, visitors and medical staff.
