Scope Of Work
KCI provided construction management support for the $1.5 billion redevelopment of Johns Hopkins Hospital, a 10-year plan to renovate and redevelop its 52-acre downtown medical campus. The program centerpiece is a new 1.6-million-square-foot, $1.1 billion, 12-story clinical building.
The new facility offers 560 private patient rooms, 33 operating suites, laboratories, pediatric and adult emergency departments, and cutting-edge diagnostic equipment. More evident than its signature 240,000-square-foot glass curtain walls or its intuitive wayfinding system, every aspect of the new hospital has been designed as a comfortable and approachable space. From furniture to paint colors, artwork to patient transition teams, the leading health institution was focused on taking care of patients and making their stay easier.
Just one of many features of the new buildings is the welcoming main entrance for the hospital on Orleans Street. Larger than a football field, the new entry court was designed with one continuous canopy, like an airport, to give coverage from the elements. All entrances to the hospital, including the adult and pediatric emergency rooms, stem from the entry court, which includes a donor’s wall and other streetscape amenities.
KCI provided construction management support, working on site with the owner as an integral part of the project management team during the multi-year effort—one of the largest healthcare projects in the nation. Services included reviewing architectural and electrical construction change directives, attending update meetings, overseeing the furniture delivery and installation, and monitoring of construction documents to reduce future change order directives. KCI also oversaw the completion of several capital improvement projects in support of the existing hospital and new towers including construction of a new parking garage, construction at the south energy plant, various installations of signage, and various installations and replacement of chilled water, steam distribution, chillers, cooling towers and access walkways on the campus.
