Scope Of Work
Making a huge commitment to their growing community, Copley Hospital is investing $12M into this 19,560 sf surgical suite. Upon completion the project will include three operating rooms, one procedure room, a central sterile processing area, twelve pre-operative / post-operative beds, and an educational seminar space, with new Stryker medical equipment throughout. Also included in the final project will be a renovation of the Infusion/Oncology suite, and the renovation of the existing operating room on the hospital’s second floor.
The hospital and all of its departments must remain open despite construction. Therefore special attention is given to ensuring proper protection is in place to shield construction actives from daily hospital operations. To ensure site safety, ReArch’s entire team is trained in Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRA) and Interim Life Safety Measures (ILSM). This ICRA knowledge allows the team to identify risks and mitigate them with measures that include properly constructed barriers for dust containment, management of negative air flow to contain construction dust and debris, and indoor air quality monitoring. Life safety is also a major focus for our team while completing this project. Keeping patients–as well as staff–safe during construction requires attention to detail with respect to life safety measures including exit signs, egress pathways, fire protection & alarm systems, and emergency evacuation planning.
