UCHC Outpatient Pavilion and Parking Garage

OVERVIEW

The UCHC Ambulatory Care Complex is a design-build project with an aggressive delivery schedule. The project includes a 300,000 square-foot medical building and six-story parking garage. Langan is providing engineering, environmental permitting and surveying services. Site challenges include existing wetlands that require filling, a mass excavation over more than 70 feet in some areas, a need for flood management verification, and significant utility upgrades and reconfigurations on an active health care campus. The site design will incorporate environmentally sensitive stormwater techniques and the team is seeking LEED Silver certification for the project.

Lenox Health Greenwich Village

OVERVIEW
Originally designed in 1964, the landmarked building was formerly home to St. Vincent’s Medical Center. The 160,000-SF building underwent a restoration and adaptive reuse and now serves as Manhattan’s first free standing emergency department. Features for the redesigned structure included the addition of ambulance bays and a separate entrance for patient surgery and other services. Langan’s involvement at the site dates back to its previous ownership by St. Vincent hospital, when we provided environmental, geotechnical and survey services. Our more recent work for Northwell Health consisted of consulting during upfront certification and the city review process, surveying, a review of available building plans, a subsurface evaluation, and day-to-day coordination with the client and the design team.

Memorial Sloan-Kettering – The Josie Robertson Surgery Center

OVERVIEW
Located six blocks south of the hospital’s main campus, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is building a new Surgery Day Hospital (SDH) at this Upper East Side location. The new center will have 12 operating rooms, five more than the current SDH. Langan's environmental services included an asbestos survey, preparation of abatement documents, permitting support, and monitoring of abatement. Langan surveyors performed a complete topographic, utility, and boundary survey of the site as well as the surrounding properties and streets. 3-D laser scanning was also used at the site in order to provide full elevation views of the adjacent buildings.

HUMC – Helena Theurer Pavilion

OVERVIEW
The Helena Theurer Pavilion is a nine-story, 530,000 SF surgical and intensive care “smart hospital.” The facility incorporates innovative technology into a thoughtfully designed space to provide an enhanced, collaborative atmosphere for patients, physicians, and medical staff. Langan assisted with site improvements associated with the development, including an internal circulation driveway, walkways, retaining walls, utilities, and stormwater management. We completed a full site survey, a 3D scan of the interior and exterior of existing buildings, and an existing conditions BIM model. The design team used the BIM model for building placement, site and utility connections, and design. Our team also designed a cohesive outdoor area, complete with curving decorative gravels, halo lighting to enhance the space at night, decorative flooring to connect the lobby with the outdoor space, and a 35-foot wood and concrete double-sided bench that serves as the centerpiece.

MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper University Hospital

OVERVIEW
Langan provided integrated services for the 103,000 SF world-class cancer institute and its rooftop healing garden. Located on an extremely tight urban site, the project required extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies. Our team led permitting efforts, reconfigured vehicular circulation to provide safer access to facilities, and minimized stormwater runoff by reducing the amount of surface parking in favor of a landscaped plaza space. We also designed curved retaining walls to support tree plantings without needing roof penetration, designed the site lighting, and developed site-specific soil beds to minimize rooftop loading for the lush, tranquil healing garden.
