Challenge

To design and construct a new HVAC space over the existing ambulance driveway and replace the suspended cast-in place concrete slab that supports it, all while the driveway remains functional in various configurations so that ambulances can deliver patients to the emergency department.

Solution

Design a steel structure that is supported on the existing foundation systems below the ambulance driveway and can be installed in phases. This allows the driveway structure to be replaced and the new mechanical room to be constructed above it with minimum impact to the surrounding hospital spaces as quickly as possible to minimize the disruption to hospital operations.
