Healthcare Tenant Improvement ​

With MVN’s system integration expertise, this 6,000 SF healthcare tenant improvement project was designed to support clinical and administrative functions while meeting performance, comfort, and compliance requirements. The approach prioritized efficiency, reliability, and effective use of existing infrastructure, ensuring the facility can adapt to future healthcare needs.

Mechanical Design

The mechanical strategy focused on maximizing the use of existing systems to maintain cost efficiency and minimize disruption. The existing air handling unit and main ductwork were retained, with VAV boxes relocated and reused wherever feasible to support the revised floor plan. This approach ensured proper zoning, airflow distribution, and comfort across treatment rooms, offices, and support areas while maintaining system integrity and performance.

Electrical Design

Electrical improvements were designed to align with healthcare operational requirements while leveraging existing building services. New lighting was installed throughout the facility to enhance visibility, safety, and energy efficiency in clinical and administrative spaces. Additional receptacles were provided based on the new layout to support medical equipment, staff workstations, and patient care needs, ensuring flexibility and compliance with healthcare electrical standards.

Plumbing Design

Plumbing work was limited to a restroom remodel, maintaining the existing restroom location and plumbing configuration while updating fixtures and finishes for improved function and compliance.

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.
