Services
PAE provided mechanical systems design for this 4 story, 144,000 square foot addition to the existing St. Charles Medical Center ICU Tower. A 36 bed ICU space was fully built out on one of the floors, and a Short Stay/Observation unit added to the buildout of the second floor. This required replacement of a 500 space surface parking lot and secondary water main.
Special Features
- Chilled water and heating water was trenched from existing central utility plant (CUP) to the new building to help support cost and energy savings.
- Medical vacuum, medical air, and oxygen extended from existing hospital that allowed the hospital to remain fully functional during upgrades.
- Core and shell space was created on the lower level for future build out.
