SARATOGA HOSPITAL RADIATION THERAPY CENTER ADDITION & CAFETERIA RENOVATION
 |
 |
 |
Saratoga Hospital recently constructed the new Mollie Wilmot - Radiation Oncology center. The project also includes renovations to the existing cafeteria and loading dock areas of the facility. The radiation therapy wing includes a new glass atrium entrance and waiting area, high-resolution, intensity modulated radiation therapy linear accelerator, a full scale CT training simulator, and all associated support spaces.
Hospital central systems were extended into the new addition to support much of the mechanical, electrical and fire protection needs. New air handling units were designed to support the space and additionally radiant under slab heating is used to heat the atrium and waiting areas.
The added loads of the facility did impact some of the central utility systems and the construction forced some of the systems to be upgraded. Ancillary but critical work to the fire protection and fire pump manifold all were completed to support the additional loads imposed on these systems.
The addition resulted in a full renovation to the Hospital's cafeteria and loading dock. The cafeteria serving and seating areas were renovated to incorporate more modern methods of food service and comfort. Lighting and air conditioning systems were designed to support this now more upscale space. The air conditioning equipment utilized included a new air-to-air heat exchanger unit to assure the highest quality of indoor air for the visitors and staff. All cafeteria and loading dock work was phased throughout construction to maintain access for deliveries to the kitchen area.
