Scope of Work
OR suite demolition, infection control, structural/mechanical retrofit, surgical-grade finishes.
Project Overview
We were proud to lead the demolition and full retrofit of an Operating Room suite at Elmhurst Hospital, a vital public healthcare provider in Queens. This project focused on enhancing surgical capacity, improving compliance with current medical standards, and preparing the hospital for expanded use of advanced surgical technologies.
The work began with a careful, phased demolition of the existing OR, including the removal of ceiling-mounted surgical lights, wall-mounted medical gas panels, and outdated floor finishes. Special care was taken to preserve structural integrity while ensuring compliance with hospital infection control procedures. All demolition debris was removed through designated containment routes to maintain a sterile environment in adjacent departments.
After demolition, our team executed a full retrofit of the space, integrating new MEP systems tailored for surgical environments, including upgraded oxygen, vacuum, and medical air lines. We installed antimicrobial wall protection, seamless epoxy flooring, and HEPA-filtered air handling systems to meet stringent ASHRAE and FGI guidelines for surgical suites.
All construction activities were coordinated with hospital operations to ensure minimal disruption, including extensive night and weekend shifts. The end result was a fully modernized Operating Room equipped for a wide range of procedures, supporting Elmhurst's mission to deliver world-class care to the local community.
