Medical Center Orthopedics & Physical Performance Center Design

Salas O’Brien provided comprehensive mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering for the University of Rochester Medical Center Orthopedics & Physical Performance Center—URMC’s largest offsite facility. This new center transformed the former Sears at Marketplace Mall into a four-story, state-of-the-art healthcare destination offering imaging, surgery, orthopedic therapy, and the CHAMPP center. The low-voltage technology design included layout, including locations, pathways, and coordination for the information technology (IT), nurse call, telemetry, A/V, public address, television, clock, clinical equipment, wireless access point, wayfinding, access control, CCTV, building automation, and digital signage systems. The MEP design included centralized heating/cooling plants, emergency power, UPS power, bulk oxygen storage, room pressurization control, fire pump, and all the associated distribution systems. Our innovative design enabled optimal clinical environments and a seamless patient experience at this modern ambulatory care hub.
