Timberline Construction Corp. has been working with the S/L/A/M Collaborative on several projects for UMass Memorial Medical Center.
Recently Timberline served as the general contractor for the Angio and C-Arm renovations at the hospital. For this 2,380 s/f project senior project manager, and institutional construction professional, Chris Carucci teamed with superintendent Matthew Bussiere returned to the campus for a $1.1 million project. The scope involved a two-room radiology renovation with a control room, conference room and two nurse stations. The work was designed around the installations of high-tech imaging equipment. Construction involved demolition efforts and a total renovation with new architectural finishes, as well as MEP components.
The work was divided into two-phases within the sensitive location and involved tight trade coordination around the operating facility's schedule. For this technical project, detailed attention was exercised to provide the necessary infection control measures to keep adjacent affected areas up and running during the construction. The installation of medical structural support systems, now accommodate new Philips imaging equipment; plumbing work included new medical gas and vacuum services. The mechanical scope incorporated the installation of a new roof-top air handling unit. The new rooms also received electrical upgrades to the existing services to support the power requirements of the new Philips system. Life safety and fire protection upgrades were also be made to the space. The overall new architectural layout accommodates new lighting, lead lined walls, floor finishes, millwork, glass and doors.
Timberline's work with the UMass Memorial Medical facilities began when the Timberline team was selected for a small renovation at their campus. The team valued this opportunity to demonstrate capabilities through a process and delivery. Carucci had led the team, through the renovation to an existing radiology room for the operating healthcare facility. The project involved millwork, drywall, painting, and the installation of new GE radiology equipment. A couple other capital improvements to the campus followed, such as a loading dock area renovation and campus fire protection, including smoke barrier improvements.
Timberline has partnered with institutions, such as UMass Memorial Medical Center, to provide a delivery for institutional projects of various sizes and scopes. The company continues to position and prepare towards continued growth in the healthcare sector.
