The 33,000 SF multi-building, multi-floor expansion and renovation project provided the hospital with four new operating rooms and perioperative services. One of the primary challenges in designing the suite was to maintain the University s architectural integrity while integrating cutting-edge technology.

These were also equipment-intensive projects, requiring thorough coordination with engineering disciplines.
