Mount Sinai Center for Science and Medicine

OVERVIEW
The Mount Sinai Research Center, in the Upper East Side section of Manhattan, is a 1.5-acre parcel occupying about three-quarters of a city block along Madison Avenue. The site is comprised of an 11-story building with a four cellars. A tunnel, approximately 250-feet east of Fifth Avenue, connects the proposed Research Center to Mount Sinai’s Guggenheim Pavilion to the south. Langan’s role on this project included site/civil, surveying and geotechnical engineering services. Challenging aspects included the ongoing infrastructure work to accommodate a tunnel beneath a congested New York City street.

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.
