This tenant improvement included new space programming, mechanical electrical plumbing (MEP) and med gas upgrades, and new imaging equipment.

Patient rooms include ligature-resistant furniture, impact-resistant windows, and sheet flooring with a rubber surface that absorbs sound, slip-resistant, and easy for staff to maintain. These features ensure a safe and secure environment for patients.

Patient safety and security is facilitated through the new fire alarm system. All secure doors are outfitted with alarms that alert the nurse station when triggered, and ceiling mounted alarm speaker strobes are equipped to voice directions for staff and patients.

Loven Contracting phased the remodel to ensure that hospital staff would have access to the exam room and nurse’s station, completing the project on an accelerated schedule and ensuring unimpeded operations within the active and occupied facility during construction.

The restrooms are equipped with tamper-proof features, including anti-ligature shower doors, solid surface shower surrounds, and epoxy flooring.

The behavioral health facility has two seclusion rooms equipped with anti-ligature beds, new door hardware, and durable, safety padding along the walls and floor to ensure patient safety.

All plumbing fixtures, lights, HVAC venting, door hardware, and accessories throughout the adolescent behavioral health facility were replaced with new, anti-ligature devices.

Patient areas include Mondo resilient sheet flooring with an Integral Cove Base, a rubber surface that is sound-absorbent, slip-resistant, comfortable, and easy to maintain. Installation of impact-resistant windows and ligature-resistant furniture and millwork ensures a secure and safe environment for patients.

The behavioral health facility is equipped with tamper-proof MEP components and ligature-resistant features throughout. Examples within patient restrooms include recessed back-lit and impact-resistant mirrors, ligature-resistant door handles, soap dispensers, sink, and recessed hands-free flushometers.

Safety relative to patient room doors is ensured via alarm systems that detect weight and alert the adjacent nurse’s station.

Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) and member intake office remodel was completed in a fully operational behavioral health facility. Loven Contracting project management and supervisory staff worked with stakeholders to develop patient and staff-centered phasing plans that facilitated unimpeded operations during construction.

The seclusion room includes a recessed, tunable white two-channel control LED fixture with a range of warm and cool colors appropriate for behavioral health facilities. In addition, the walls and floors utilize durable, seamless, and sound dampening safety padding. The easy-clean surface is resistant to mold growth, gouging, and scraping. 

The reconfigured Crisis Stabilization Unit minimizes the distance between the staff and patients and optimizes behavioral health supervision.
