Cameron Memorial Hospital
Critical Access Hospital Expansion and Renovation
Applied was selected by Morrison Kattman Menze, Inc. to provide professional MEP design and planning services for this 110,000-square-foot expansion and renovation of Cameron Memorial Community Hospital in Angola, Indiana. This is a critical access hospital. Applied will provide services during both the Design and Construction Document Phase.
Wishard Health Services
Ophthalmology Clinic Renovation
Applied provided mechanical and electrical engineering design
services in conjunction with ArcDesign to renovate and expand the
Ophthalmology Clinic at Wishard Health Services. The project, located on
the fifth floor of the Regenstrief Building on the Wishard Health
Services campus, consisted of twelve exam rooms, a minor procedure room,
laser room, optic room, separate public and prisoner waiting areas,
check-in/check-out areas, office space and clinic support spaces
covering an area of approximately 7,400 square feet. Due to the
land-locked nature of the existing clinic, the project was completed in
three phases.
New dual duct terminal units with DDC controls were installed to provide
twenty-one (21) thermal zones. The existing exhaust systems were
modified and extended to meet the exhaust requirements for the project.
The existing electrical and lighting systems for the clinic were
upgraded and expanded. The existing fire alarm system was modified and
additional devices were added. A new visual-only nurse call system was
provided. The existing sanitary, vent and domestic water systems were
modified and expanded to meet the project needs. The estimated
construction cost is $1,200,000 and the project was completed in
September 2008.
Bloomington Hospital Orange County
Emergency Department Expansion
The project includes updating the interior and exterior to give the
hospital a bold new look. A new lobby and covered canopy will also be
added. This expansion will provide more space in the existing hospital
to increase the size of the Emergency Department.
A 100% outside air constant volume hot water reheat system is being
installed to serve the renovated portion of the Emergency Department. A
second small DX rooftop unit will serve the new cafeteria. The existing
plumbing system is being modified and increased to provide new plumbing
fixtures throughout the expansion. The existing fire alarm and nurse
call systems will be replaced and integrated into the new hospital-wide
systems. The backbone for a new direct digital control system will also
be provided. Three of the new exam rooms are being designed to function
as isolation rooms. Applied Engineering Services worked in conjunction
with the architect, Cooler Design, to provide the mechanical, electrical
and pluming (MEP) design.
The construction budget for this project is $1,800,000 and the project
was completed in December 2009.

Health
Northwest Expansion Commissioning
Applied Engineering Services is commissioning selected mechanical and
electrical systems for the Northwest Expansion project at Hendricks Regional
Health in Danville, IN. This project is a 203,000-square-foot four-story
addition to the existing hospital. The expansion will create space for more
inpatient nursing services, a new space for the surgery department (with six
new operating rooms) and central sterile area and a new kitchen/cafeteria.
The estimated construction cost is $55,000 000 and the expected completion
date is 2010.

Major Hospital
ReNovo Orthopaedics Center
Applied Engineering Services teamed with RATIO Architects to provide the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) design for this new 25,000-square-foot medical office building. About half of the building includes physician’s offices (orthopedics and sports medicine), and about half is for physical therapy space (Major Hospital SportsMed). Design for this project began in March 2008 and construction was completed in September 2009. Runnebohm Construction provided Construction Management services. The estimated construction cost is $5,000,000.
Major Hospital
Building Assessment Study
Applied Engineering Services was retained by William S. Major hospital,
located in Shelbyville IN, to provide a written assessment of the building
condition of the main hospital and to identify the capital cost necessary to
keep the building operating for an additional 20 years. The report included
mainly mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems assessment, but also
included some architectural analysis of the building. RATIO Architects was
retained on the project to assist with the architectural aspects of the
report.
The report included a written narrative of the systems used in the building
and a cost summary of each system divided into primary sub-categories
(heating water pumps, heat exchangers, piping, etc.). A replacement cost was
assigned to each sub-category and a life expectancy measured in years was
applied to identify a potential capital replacement cost in the future. The
report contained a summary of the capital replacement cost needs of the
building which will be $14,600,000 (including inflation) over the 20-year
period.
The preliminary report was completed in December of 2008 and is currently
under review by the Owner. In addition to incorporating final adjustments to
the report, Applied attended a board meeting in July 2009 to review and explain the
report.

School of Nursing 3rd Floor Classroom Renovation
Applied is providing the mechanical and electrical engineering design services for this 10,700-square-foot renovation project. Located on the medical campus at IUPUI, this project will provide renovated training facilities for the School of Nursing. The project includes simulation laboratories, practice exam rooms, classrooms, computer rooms, and offices. The estimated project construction cost was $1,400,000 and the project was completed in August 2008.
Fairmont General Hospital Healthplex
MEP Engineering Design for 66,000-SF Healthplex in Fairmont, WV
This project includes the mechanical and electrical (MEP) engineering design for the new 66,000-square-foot Healthplex Building located in Fairmont, West Virginia. The building includes a 30,000-square-foot fitness center with a swimming pool and 36,000 square feet of clinical and medical office building space. Four air handling systems with DX cooling and electric heat serve the building. One is a pool dehumidification unit with air and water side heat recovery. The electrical design includes a 2,000 amp, 480/277V electrical service, interior and site lighting, fire alarm system, paging and provision for voice and data service. The plumbing design includes a domestic water system complete with water softeners and central hot water, sanitary and storm system, and fire protection. The project is being built by a developer, and the team includes a construction manager. The design process has successfully reconciled the design with the construction cost budget. The architect is Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf (BDMD). Construction was completed in 2008. Estimated construction cost: $13.7 million.
Medical Center Hospital
Center for Health and Wellness
The Medical Center Hospital (MCH) Center for Health and Wellness was
designed as a new health care facility in Odessa, Texas. The Center for
Health and Wellness is part of a new trend combining fitness, therapy and
physician services under one roof. Applied worked as a sub-consultant to
Browning Day Mullins Dierdorf (BDMD) to provide the mechanical and
electrical (MEP) engineering design for this new 69,000-square-foot
facility. The building includes a 25,000-square-foot fitness center with
both a lap pool and therapy pool. Another 44,000 square feet is reserved for
clinical and medical office building space.
The MEP systems were designed to be easily maintained and automatically
operated. Five air handling systems with DX cooling and electric heat serve
the building. One air handler is a 7,300 cfm pool dehumidification unit with
air and water side heat recovery.
The electrical design included a 2,000 kVA, 480/277V electrical service,
interior and site lighting, fire alarm system, paging and provision for
voice and data service.
The plumbing design included a domestic water system complete with water
softeners and central hot water, sanitary system and fire protection. There
is so little rainfall at the project location that storm water was routed to
grade outside the building and joined the surface runoff in a detention
pond.
MCH will be the Owner and operator of the facility, so controls and fixtures
were coordinated to meet the hospital’s standards. The facility also
included an imaging center. The MRI, CT Scanner and X-ray equipment required
special MEP considerations.
The estimated construction cost is $12,000,000. The design was
completed in August 2009, and construction is expected to be complete in
October 2010.
