PROJECT INFORMATION
439,000 Sqft cast -in-place concrete research & manufacturing facility Total project cost: 230 million dollars Total construction cost: 180 million dollars 12 story building with basement &.4 mezzanine floors for MEP services Construction started November 6, 2006 Completion in October 2010 Project was divided into 10 phases including demolition of existing facilities, relocation of existing utilities, foundation & superstructure, core & shell & buildout, & expansion for existing cafeteria including outside cafe terrace Utilized 3-D BIM technology for MEP coordination throughout design Coordination of MEP trades took 18 months to complete 40% of the total contract budget was dedicated to the highly technical MEP requirements Building includes point-supported glass facade supported by hanging mullions from Level

PROJECT STATISTICS TO DATE:
1,204 days Almost 3,000 drawings issued 98 drawing revisions issued 1,385 RFis written 3,850 submittals 3,500 people have worked on site with an average of 400 per day 1,307,940 man-hours 600 commissioning tests completed with 1,520 to go 2,200 activity schedule
PROJECT CHALLENGES:
Extremely confined site with very limited lay down area which forced us to place the tower cranes inside the foot print of our building Project borders two active hospital buildings Projected design was being completed as building was already under construction Renovations inside the existing hospital which consisted of 7,000 square feet had to be broken into 38 phases to facilitate extremely limited swing space for hospital staff Existing site utility drawings did not exist, therefore utilities had to be coordinated and re-located as they were found Had to re-route existing 30" chilled water lines without disruption of service and then build structure around them Foundation consisted of both a mat and spread footings due to the relocation of the existing duct bank which included 3 separate feeds that serve an active hospital Structure was atypical with varying floor to floor heights, structural member sizes & special framing for heavy medica l equipment Sections of precast had to be installed at night over adjacent working hospital and often out of sequence Precast panels weighed up to 15,000 lbs and in some cases had to be redesigned due to the limitations of the tower crane capacity Curtain wall included abnormally large glass panels weighing up to 700 lbs The cyclotron weighed 45,000 lbs and required special rigging to set it in its final location in the basement Large autoclaves had to be delivered over a year ahead of schedule so that the tower cranes could be used for installation Each of the 9 custom air handlers had to be delivered in 5 sections, each section measuring over 10' x 10' x 8' and assembled on site MEP coordination was taking place before the design of the systems was finalized requiring multiple revisions to shop drawings and some work that was already installed Methodist has requested early occupancy of several floors requiring an acceleration of the schedule and finalizing core & shell systems much earlier than originally anticipated Sequence of operations for most building systems have been changed 3+ times, the latest change occurring on January 12, 2010, which required the BAS System programming to be changed, narrowing our window of internal testing The 227 seat auditorium presented unique coordination opportunities as all A/V, lighting, sound & life safety devices had to be centered in Brochstein's wood panels
