AdventHealth Fish Memorial Hospital

4-STORY CONCRETE FRAME HOSPITAL ADDITION

Orange City, Florida

AdventHealth Fish Memorial’s four-story addition connects to an existing tower to add beds and expand services, including emergency, cardiac, intensive care, and surgical. The new tower houses a state-of-art, 20-bed labor and delivery unit and increases the number of licensed beds by 50. With the increase in beds, the hospital can fully privatize all patient rooms. The added space also enables the hospital to increase the size of its emergency department and add pediatric emergency care.

Located on the south side of hospital, the new patient tower connects to an existing bed tower on all four floors, including a service connector at Level 2. Each level is 33,000 square feet with a 16-foot floor-to-floor height.

Ceco provided turnkey concrete frame services for this project, using a mild-reinforced flat plate structural system. The project team opted to use trusses for the framing system to facilitate quick and efficient turnaround. The team performed three concrete pours for each level, completing each floor on a five-day pour cycle.

Since this project was an addition, Ceco also faced the unique challenge of matching slab heights to those of the existing building. After the first level was constructed, the team calculated the deflection of the slabs and adjusted the remaining levels for a near seamless fit with the existing building.

Deploying a high level of collaboration and communication, Ceco worked with general contractor Brasfield & Gorrie to provide a quality product that finished on schedule.
