Memorial Hospital nearly doubled the size of their existing facility
with this three-story plus basement expansion. Relocated to the new
addition were surgery, outpatient surgery, intensive care unit,
medical/surgical unit, emergency department, laboratory, pharmacy,
materials management, medical records, a physician’s center, and an
expansion of radiology.
This project had many challenges
for which Artekna developed creative solutions. The hospital campus is
a city block in Connersville with very limited space available for the
expansion. A unique structural system was developed in order to
construct the new basement space next to the existing building. The new
addition was required to match very low existing floor-to-floor
heights, resulting in limited space available for modern hospital
systems. Additionally, Artekna produced the construction documents for
a competitive bidding process within a fast-track design schedule.
