Owner’s Project Requirements Medical Office Building Introduction In the healthcare industry- culture, labor and workflow- are challenging the design standards of the conventional medical office building (MOB). The medical office building must be convenient, efficient and mobile. The facilities must include the housing of doctors and medical staff. The designed building includes reception area, waiting room, exam rooms, offices, record storage, imaging center, lab, etc. The exam rooms will be equipped with the specialties. The equipment and furniture will be newly designed for patients. The planning of medical office building is patient friendly. The cost effectiveness is also taken into consideration by reducing loss of energy. General Project Description The project is taken into consideration to build a Medical Office building which have unique facilities when compared to the general office. The owner of Maxx Life Clinic decided to build a new 50,000 sqft (4645m2) medical office building. This is expected to be completed in 2023. The Project will consist of the following: A 2-story Medical Office Building (MOB) including spaces for patient and medical staff. Offices, Exam rooms, kitchen, washrooms for staff & patients, communications (computer) room, drug storage room, reception and patient waiting area, nursing stations, Lab area Project Schedule Following is project timeline as scheduled below Award of Design-Build Contract (February 2022) Phase 1: Design Development Documents (May 2022) Phase 2: Construction Documents & Approvals (July 2022 – Sept 2022) Phase 3: Construction (Q2 2023 through Q1 20) Phase 4: Post-Construction Warranty Budget Considerations and Limitations The energy saving systems which are adopted, and the energy efficient design leads to the environmental and economic benefits of conserving resources. The HVAC systems impacts the costs of building includes capital investment, operating cost, maintenance costs of building. Owner and Occupancy Space and Use Requirements A building which has the best life cycle cost for the applicable climate and the Owner’s Budget Excellent indoor environmental quality that facilitate occupants’ use of the space by providing a comfortable and safe environment while avoiding the design attributes related to poor HVAC system performance, poor space utilization, poor acoustical qualities, inconsistent interior style, and low durability of finishes. Maximize usable space including reducing the amount of space needed above ceilings in order to provide maximum ceiling heights Operation and maintenance needs are for an easily serviceable, maintainable, and secure facility that has low utility and maintenance costs Design Process Describe the design review process and objectives and the development and requirements for the basis of design. Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning Occupancy, Climatic, Temperature Maximum capacity for the building was calculated at 202 occupants. The temperature varies from 3⁰C to 26 ⁰C throughout year. General HVAC Systems Data The supply fan has the capacity of 32,000 CFM, and the exhaust fan has a capacity of 26,600 CFM Energy Efficiency and Demand Reduction The composite insulated exterior panels, a connector between the hospital and new medical office building, low-E windows, high efficiency HVAC system, an energy efficient green roof, energy efficient passenger elevators, and high efficiency lighting. Electrical Systems The electric system consists of latest energy-efficient lamp and ballast technology both F32T8 high efficiency 2x4 ceiling fixtures. Task lighting at workstations are provided for by under-cabinet fixtures with T5 lamps. Interior lighting in all offices are operated by bi-level switching to conserve energy. Also, all toilet and other room lighting are controlled by censors to automatically turn off when unoccupied. Emergency lighting and signage are provided by select ceiling fixtures with battery packs. All exit lights are LED type for efficiency. Plumbing Systems Water Efficiency The plumbing systems serve six multiple-fixture toilet rooms, 10 small washrooms, 8 exam rooms, and 3 break rooms with sinks, and three janitor closets. A electric water heater works with a thermostat-controlled recirculation pump to deliver hot water to the building. Fire Protection and Alarm The building has a Class 1, fully addressable fire alarm system that will communicate with all necessary building systems. The building has a sprinkler system that meets all local and national codes. Environmental and Sustainability Goals The goal is to achieve a LEED Silver Certification.
