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.

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.
