Peter Basso Associates provided MEP engineering design services for the new 8-story, 300,000 square foot, contemporary-styled facility featuring 204 private and technologically enhanced patient rooms. The basement of the facility houses materials management, clinical engineering space and room for a conference area, while the majority of the first floor is shelled for future kitchen/dining. Levels 2 and 3 house the Intensive Care Unit and Critical Care Unit. Of the remaining floors 4 through 7, two floors are med/surgery and two floors are shelled for future build-out. New mechanical and electrical systems included booster pumps, chillers, domestic water heaters, air handling systems, electrical double ended substation, lighting, and controls. Additionally, the building’s equipment utilized steam from the existing campus. In an effort to incorporate new technology and patient privacy into the building, the design included “smart” beds with nurses’ stations/observation windows between rooms, hemodialysis outlet boxes on multiple floors, and art/water features for patient meditation. ## Blog Latest industry insights from the best [Visit our Blog →](https://blog.peterbassoassociates.com/blog) ## Related Projects ![St Joseph Mercy Oakland South Patient Tower Lobby 2-533x324](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Images%202020/market-project-pages/markets-healthcare/1%20St.%20Joseph%20Mercy%20Oakland%20Hospital%20New%20South%20Patient%20Tower/St%20Joseph%20Mercy%20Oakland%20South%20Patient%20Tower%20Lobby%202-533x324.png) #### St. Joe’s / Trinity Health The two-year, three-phased South Patient Tower project at St. Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital also included the construction of a maintenance substation, a patient/visitor parking lot [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/mechanical-electrical-engineering-design-for-st-joseph-mercy-oakland-hospital) ![McLaren Healthcare](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Markets/Healthcare/IMG_3645-533x324.webp) #### McLaren Health Care Marwood Nursing and Rehab, a subsidiary of McLaren Port Huron, is located in a residential suburb and provides short-term rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, and memory care [Learn More →](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/mclaren-health-care-engineering-design) ![Clarkston Medical Group](https://www.peterbassoassociates.com/hubfs/Next%20Gen%20Images%20-%20WebP%20Files/Markets/Healthcare/CurtClayton25666-533x324.webp) #### Clarkston Medical Group The Clarkston Medical Group is comprised of over 25 medical specialists who provide services and medical care to the entire family, from infants to adults.
