After the emergency room was flooded during Super Storm Sandy, NYU Langone Medical Center integrated its renovation into the campus flood-mitigation plans, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website.
The walls surrounding the emergency department were reinforced and waterproofed, and measures were put in place to prevent backflow through existing utilities, the article said. In addition, power, water and cooling equipment was moved above the 500-year flood level.
