Project Overview

This 30,000-square-foot fast-track renovation housed on UVM Medical Center’s existing campus provided a new home for their 28-bed inpatient psychiatry unit. The unit, which occupies two floors, features 20 private rooms and four semi-private rooms. Work included selective demolition, concrete, new HVAC and medical gas systems, and a new fire suppression system.

Construction was completed on an extremely restricted site, requiring materials to be brought in and removed via tower crane. Careful sequencing of construction activities was required to avoid impact to performance or patient care in the adjacent on-call, maternity, renal dialysis, radiology and oncology departments.
