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 is supporting the multi-story, 103,000-SF world-class cancer institute. The design includes a public plaza and garden, and a renovated landscape. The project has undergone extensive conceptual planning, programming, and site planning studies to locate the facility on an extremely tight urban site. Stormwater runoff from the proposed site was minimized by reducing the amount of on-site surface parking in favor of a heavily landscaped plaza space.

MD Anderson CRB Animal Area Renovation

OVERVIEW
The project at the Clinical Research Building at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center entails raising the ceiling level of the basement research areas by 1 to 2 feet and shrinking the area of the existing interstitial space, which is currently very dense with MEP equipment. Langan is responsible for performing a 3D Laser Scan and 3D Revit Model for the almost 15,000-SF interstitial space. This model will be used by the design team to produce accurate design drawings which will allow for the prefabrication of many of the new utility runs that will need to be made for this renovation, thus cutting down on overall construction time.
