Dartmouth-Hitchcock Advanced Surgery Center
Our unique advantage is that our commissioning staff can draw upon the expertise of our engineering team as well as our control system engineers and field technicians.
Challenge
Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center constructed a groundbreaking NIH-funded clinical and research facility, featuring a unique 23,700-square-foot surgical innovation center with MRI and CT imaging that can be used during surgery without moving the patient. Key project requirements included maintaining varying room pressurization modes and ensuring a thorough hand-off to the operations team.
Solution
Hallam-ICS applied its control systems expertise, developing complex algorithms for room pressurization and creating an illustrated systems manual to support the operations team. This approach ensured operational readiness and adherence to LEED standards, enhancing the facility’s efficiency and safety.
Results
Our team accomplished the following:
- Implemented a complex, algorithm-driven control system to manage different room pressurization modes, ensuring a safe and efficient environment for advanced surgical procedures.
- Created a comprehensive, illustrated systems manual, supporting smooth hand-off and training for Dartmouth-Hitchcock operations staff.
- Contributed to LEED certification for Commercial Interiors, meeting environmental standards while enhancing facility safety and functionality.
