Healthcare Endoscopy Expansion​

With MVN’s system integration expertise, this 5,000 SF tenant improvement project was designed to expand endoscopy services by incorporating a major laboratory area while meeting performance, comfort, and compliance requirements. The design approach emphasized efficiency, reliability, and acoustic considerations to ensure a functional environment that supports both clinical operations and patient care.

Mechanical Design

The mechanical strategy focused on reusing existing systems wherever feasible to maintain cost efficiency and minimize disruption. New VAV boxes were provided and integrated as required by the revised layout, ensuring proper zoning, airflow distribution, and comfort across the lab, procedure rooms, and support areas. This approach preserved system integrity while adapting to the specialized needs of endoscopy operations.

Electrical Design

Electrical improvements were designed to prioritize power delivery for process equipment critical to endoscopy and laboratory functions. New lighting was installed to enhance visibility, safety, and energy efficiency, while additional power infrastructure was provided to support specialized medical equipment and staff workstations. The design ensures flexibility and compliance with healthcare electrical standards.

Plumbing Design

Plumbing work was limited to the installation of a handsink to support laboratory and clinical functions. The design maintained efficiency by leveraging existing infrastructure while ensuring compliance with healthcare plumbing requirements.

The mechanical systems were tailored to the building’s mixed‑use operations. Key design elements include:

  • First‑floor kitchen exhaust terminated with a wall‑mounted blast fan, supported by a makeup air unit located outside the building.
  • First‑floor retail space served by a fan coil unit paired with a gas‑fired furnace.
  • Second‑floor retail tenant similarly equipped with a dedicated fan coil and furnace system.
  • Each dwelling unit on upper levels provided with its own fan coil unit for independent comfort control.
  • Condensing units strategically located at grade level outside the building for efficient operation and service accessibility.

Electrical systems were designed to meet the varied needs of restaurant, retail, and residential spaces. Key highlights:

  • Existing services leveraged with new panels provided as required to support tenant improvements.
  • Kitchen areas on the first level equipped with GFI outlets for safety compliance.
  • Retail and dwelling units fitted with outlets in full compliance with code.
  • Lighting design incorporated aesthetic round fixtures, coordinated with the architect’s reflected ceiling plan (RCP).
  • Lighting ensures both functionality and visual appeal across all restaurant, retail, and residential spaces.

The plumbing design presented unique challenges due to the absence of an external grease interceptor:

  • below‑floor grease interceptor engineered to serve the basement restaurant space — meeting all regulatory and operational requirements.
  • Each floor equipped with a gas‑fired water heater to provide reliable hot water service across residential and retail tenants.
  • System designed for efficiency, compliance, and long‑term durability throughout the building’s mixed occupancies.
