Heart Center | Tradeline, Inc.

The 118,200-sf facility was primarily created to centralize the Hospital's cardiovascular services, support, and personnel for Beaumont's 10,000 annual cardiac patients. The design consists of a four-story addition with an elevator connection to the existing hospital on floors five through eight. The 85,700-sf addition includes patient education space, pre- and post-catheterization rooms, swing lab, and administration offices. Renovations to 32,500 sf of the existing hospital space include areas of non-invasive diagnostic testing and research. The Heart Center also features a patient resource center, medical exhibit, and a conference center.

The facility achieves the following goals:

Consolidation of cardiology services into a distinct center.
A design responding to a managed care medical delivery system.
Operational efficiency through a focus on people and product flow.
The creation of a distinct image for the Heart Center within the context of William Beaumont Hospital, ranked 11th on US News and World Report's 1999 list of top hospitals for cardiology.
Flexibility to accommodate inevitable changes in medical delivery.

Radiographic/fluoroscopic cardiac catherization imaging systems; ceiling mounted radiation shields, lights, and monitors; dye injectors; hospital information system workstations; cardiac ultrasound imaging units; cardiac stress testing equipment; computerized inventory systems for medication and supplies; various monitoring and diagnostic equipment such as blood oximeters, coagulation timers, defibrillators, pacemaker analyzers, and heart rate monitors.

Power Req:

Two 4,800-volt primary circuits are provided from the campus substation center. The voltage is transformed down to 480/277 volts via a double-ended 2000 KVA unit substation. The unit substation serves the lighting, receptacle, medical, and mechanical loads for the Heart Center. The Heart Center's emergency power is provided from an emergency power system parallel switchgear located in the powerhouse. A 1250-KW diesel generator added to the emergency system parallel switchgear also serves the Heart Center. The emergency power requirements are divided into life safety, critical, and equipment branch systems. The building's lighting system is primarily 277-volt fluorescent lighting with 120-volt incandescent accent lighting. Receptacle power is stepped down to 208/120 volt via K-rated dry type transformers located in each electrical closet. The electrical closets are stacked to distribute normal and emergency power vertically from the lower level up to each floor.

HVAC Req:

500 tons of cooling 100,000 cfm air

Structure/Foundation:

Structural steel & reinforced concrete

About the Reported Cost Figures

The cost figures reported are supplied by the firms that submitted these projects for publication, which in most cases are the designers or builders. Whereas these sources are intimately familiar with their projects, they may not be fully aware of the owners' finally-realized and recorded costs. In some cases, costs are truly and completely accounted for, and in others they represent a near approximation of the final costs. Costs have not been adjusted for year of construction, nor has any attempt been made to make regional cost adjustments.

Further, costs are not comparable on any kind of detailed standard costing model. Hence, it is possible for the cost of one building to include a steam boiler, while the cost of a comparable building might not include the boiler, if steam is being supplied from an already existing campus grid. Or, in another case, a building might include excess boiler capacity to supply steam to another building. Some submittals include fees or unusual site improvements as part of the construction costs, which others do not.
