Description:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

A new hospital was designed to take over an existing post office building in Mount Vernon, Westchester, New York. This existing 4-story, steel-framed building was designed to be converted to a new fully-operational hospital with a ground floor Emergency Department and first floor medical facility. Three new elevators (one freight, two passenger elevators) were designed within the building, which would replace the one existing elevator in the building. The existing elevator opening was infilled with new framing throughout the structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The structure was analyzed for an increased live load requirement as well as a new facade structure. Additional steel was also required to support the various pieces of equipment, such as CT Scan units and overhead-mounted X-Ray equipment. New steel dunnage was designed on the existing roof to support over 80,000 lbs. of mechanical equipment. Several new steel and cold-formed steel framed canopies were designed off of the existing exterior structure. New foundations were designed for the new elevator shafts down to below the first floor. Lastly, a seismic retrofit was designed throughout the building to accommodate the new building upgrades.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
