Architecture :
The phase IV addition and renovation is the last phase of construction to be done on the Frederick Memorial Hospital building. After the completion of Phase III, Frederick Memorial Hospital is a 298 bed hospital dedicated to serving the areas residents providing a variety of healthcare services. Phase IV is the renovation of the G wing of the hospital. The renovated G wing will feature a new entry vestibule, an employee gym, medical exam rooms, physical therapy facility, and administrative offices. Phase IV also includes the addition of a sprinkler system in the H wing of the hospital. The renovation was designed to the year 2000 International Building Code. The design additionally conforms to the 2001AIA supplied Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospital and Healthcare Facilities, as well as other accessibility and state regulatory codes. There are no out of the ordinary zoning or historical requirements on the facility. The building envelope is brick façade. Red brick is on the exterior of the first three floors, and yellow brick on the last floor. The new façade is placed in front of the existing envelope, which is brick façade over concrete block bearing walls. The roof system is 3" 18 gauge type "NS" galvanized roof deck with tapered rigid insulation topped by single ply membrane roofing (a ballasted system), supported by W shape structural steel.
- Construction :
The construction type is 1B - noncombustible 2 hour rated construction. The interior of the existing wing of the hospital will be completely demolished. The interior courtyard, previously a garden, is then infilled to create more usable square footage for each floor in the wing. The new construction of the courtyard infill is cast-in-place concrete with structural steel columns for the concrete to bear on around the perimeter of the courtyard. The construction of the new entry vestibule/canopy is structural steel.

Electrical :
The electricity is stepped down at an existing 2500 KVA utility transformer before entering the main distribution panel A (MDPA) with 11 sets of (4) 500 KCMIL, 4" C. Power is distributed from existing panels in 208/120V and 480/277V. For the renovated wing there are 36 panels at 208/120V, 16 panels at 480/277V. Two existing 1250 kW emergency generators serve the space.
- Lighting :
The site lighting is 208V metal halide, 277V and 480V high pressure sodium. The exterior of the building is lit with metal halide at 277V. Inside the building the fixtures are fluorescent T8 with electronic ballasts, and compact fluorescents with electronic ballasts.
- Mechanical :
There are 3 existing draw-through air handling units serving the space. AHU-G1 is 10300 CFM with 358 MBH cooling and 279 MBH heating. AHU-G2 is 8815 CFM with 298 MBH cooling and 213 MBH heating. AHU-G5 is 7700 CFM with 324 MBH cooling and 219 MBH heating. There are 2 new roof top draw-through units being installed on the roof of the G wing. RTU-G3 is 19950 CFM with 964 MBH cooling and 557 MBH heating. RTU-G4 is 16680 CFM with 964 MBH cooling and 557 MBH heating. Two 1000 CFM fan coil units serve the vestibule space. Air is distributed via sheet metal ductwork. Flexible fiberglass insulated duct connects the extruded aluminum diffusers to the sheet metal duct.
- Structural :
The new structure in the renovation is the courtyard infill and the new entry vestibule. The courtyard infill is a cast-in-place structure with four 22" x 22" columns. At the floor slabs, each column has a 10' x 10' 3 ½"-thick drop panel. The floor slabs are 9" thick concrete reinforced with #5's at 9" o.c. in the top of the slab and #4's at 8" o.c. in the bottom of the slab. W8x35 and HSS6x6x3/8 structural steel posts are used along the perimeter of the courtyard where existing bearing walls were demolished. The structural steel is protected with two hour rating.
- Fire Protection :
The renovation is designed to the 2000 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code. The occupancy is defined under chapter 18 as new health care occupancy. The renovation sprinkler system taps into an existing 4" sprinkler main. Upright, concealed, and recessed sprinkler heads are used in the renovation.
- Transportation :
There are no new elevators being installed during the renovation. There are elevators in an adjacent wing that serve the G wing.
- Telecommunications :
The renovation will equip the floor with multiple voice and data telecommunication outlets. There is also a nurse call system for patients to call the nurses. In addition, there is a card access system to limit entry to some areas.
