Mercy Patient Tower Addition & Renovation
Mercy Patient Tower Addition & Renovation - Rogers, AR
The new eight story, 275,000-square-foot patient tower created 68 new patient beds, including 17 neonatal unit beds. It also included a complete renovation of the hospital’s core support services departments: materials management, central sterile processing, environmental services, laboratories and compounding pharmacy. In addition, a two-story vertical expansion above the existing Emergency Department added five new operating rooms to the surgery suite.
The building’s lower three levels accommodate an operating room expansion, diagnostic facilities and other hospital support spaces. Patient rooms are housed on the facility’s upper levels, with shelled space on the 6th and 7th floor to accommodate future growth. A mechanical penthouse is located on the facility’s 8th floor.
Situated to the west of the existing hospital building, the new tower seamlessly ties in to the original structure at each level. Coordinated construction phasing enabled the building team to minimize disruption during the expansion while enabling the renovation of each core department to increase its overall capacity and enhance patient care.
A new 750-ton water cooled chiller and associated cooling tower were added to the Central energy Plant.
This project was designed to meet LEED Silver Standards and Energy Star Certification.
