Description

The project scope included complete renovation of Level 2 West, North, and Level 3 West of the Misericordia Community Hospital in Edmonton.  A spring 2014 flood on the 3^rd Floor caused significant damage to the 3^rd and 2^nd Floors. Both floors required abatement, demolition, and replacement of architectural, mechanical and electrical features and systems.  All work was completed within a fully operational hospital. CSA Z317.13-12 Infection control during construction standards were strictly followed throughout the duration of the project.

Roughly 30,000 sq.ft of construction area in Level 2 West, North, and Level 3 West was taken to base structure and completely rebuilt. 2^nd floor is a Mental Health unit with ECT suite, nursing desk, single and double patient rooms, kitchen, fitness room, group rooms and staff offices. The 3^rd floor is neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) which has single, double and opportunity for triple patient rooms. Additionally, on the 3^rd floor is family room and support offices.

An emergency generator was added outside the footprint of the building and an Air Handling Unit (AHU) and new roof was added to Misercordia Hospital North wing.  Ductwork connections from the AHU to the 2^nd and 3^rd floor ran through the exisiting penthouse into the 2^nd floor and was distributed to the 3^rd floor space.  A building envelope investigation was conducted during the course of the project, Delnor worked with trades and design to develop a scope of work which would provide cost effective improvements to the exisiting failing envelope. Envelope improvements were completed from 2^nd floor to top of 8^th floor parapet.  

The project required dedicated focus on construction progress, ability to adapt to changes in scope and ongoing commitment to maintain hospital Infection control standards.
