The East Tower Nursing Unit at San Diego's Sharp Grossmont Hospital gets an overhaul, according to an article on the Healthcare Construction + Operations article.
The project included an upgrade to the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems including the elevators and controls, the information system, and the lighting and finishes.
Keeping the hospital operational during construction was a challenge. The phases of construction were scheduled to minimize the impact of the project for the patients and staff.
To contain the noise, vibration, dust and handling of the construction materials, the demolition of the floors was performed during the off hours, and all of the carts were covered to avoid contamination of the materials during demolition and removal of the debris.
