DIGroupArchitecture in collaboration with Stalco Construction has started a $815,000 project to renovate a cardiac catheterization laboratory at Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) in New York.

Located on Level 2 of the hospital’s Dynamic Care Building, the renovated 1,500 space will house a main catheterization lab, a control room, a doctor’s office and a scrub room.

Apart from that the renovation will also provide two monitored beds for patient preparation, soiled utility and clean storage rooms, a staff lounge and bathrooms, reported Patch.

After the completion of renovation, the new cardiac catheterization lab will feature latest imaging technology and a comfortable, spacious environment for both patients and medical staff.

In order to install new equipment, a new layout has been developed. Several of the partition walls have been re-utilized, which reduced the construction cost. A more economical floor plan will allow the hospital to create a new staff lounge.

The renovated lab will feature the GE Healthcare Innova IGS 620 biplane X-ray fluoroscopy imaging system, Innova Central touch-screen controls, and associated support equipment and lighting.

Interior finishes and fixtures will include a protective lead lining of the cath lab walls; welded-seam sheet vinyl flooring in the treatment and scanning areas and VCT (vinyl composition tile) floors in other spaces.

Apart from that it will include acoustical tile ceilings; recessed fluorescent lighting fixtures; custom millwork storage cabinets and vanities with laminate countertops; painted drywall partition walls; and oxygen, air, and vacuum lines.

Apart from that the renovation also includes installation of new HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems as well as a new process chiller on the building’s roof to address the increased heat load of the new imaging system.

SCC Construction Management Group works as the construction manager of this project.
