Hackensack University Medical Center Expansion

OVERVIEW
The Hackensack University Medical Center is one of the five highest performing hospitals in the nation. As part of this expansion project the hospital added new facilities including a 225,000-SF Patient Care Pavilion, an 80,000-SF Children's Center, and a 25,000-SF expansion of Surgical/Trauma Center. Langan provided complete site/civil engineering services for the expansion. The engineering services included site plan preparation, grading and drainage design, sanitary sewer design, landscape architecture, and exterior lighting design. The project also included the design of over 700-feet of retaining walls varying from four to 21-feet in height.

HUMC – Emergency Trauma Department Expansion

OVERVIEW
The Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) is proposing to expand the Emergency Trauma Department (ETD) located at the hospital main campus in Hackensack, NJ. Site improvements associated with the ETD expansion consisted of a new 7,750-SF infill building addition, reconfiguration of the access drives servicing the emergency room ambulance drop-off area, and widening a roadway to provide an ambulance staging area and police / emergency vehicle parking area. Langan coordinated extensively with the project architect and client during the design process. The HUMC timeline was considered a fast track process; since Langan performed several disciplines in house, we were able to expedite the design process.

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.

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.

Coney Island Hospital Modernization

OVERVIEW
Langan provided comprehensive geotechnical and site/civil engineering services for the 7-story, 154,000-SF building addition as part of the hospital modernization program.  Demolition of existing structures, relocation of utility systems and site preparation was required such that an area large enough to accommodate the addition would be provided.  Additional site improvements included expanded parking facilities, design of therapeutic gardens/plazas, and streetscape enhancement. Our subsurface investigations determined that the building would need to be pile supported, and subsequent geotechnical engineering design recommendations identified the installation of an auger-cast pile foundation to be the most cost-effective.
