2022 RES CONTINUING EDUCATION SERIES - A Case Study in Major Construction - Highland Hospital Patient Tower - 2 PDH'S ($10/PDH)

Highland Hospital has been serving Rochester’s Highland Park neighborhood for over 100 years. However, with changes in technology, healthcare codes, and current patient care treatments, Highland Hospital needed to build an addition to its already dense campus surrounded by historic homes and school. Using innovative Architectural, Civil and Structural design solutions, an eight-story patient tower is being built that allows Highland Hospital to continue its mission to provide high-quality patient care to the local community.

2. 2:30 - 3:30 - User Interface During Construction (non-credited presentation)
3. 4:00 - 5:00 - Mechanical Engineering Challenges of Building a Five-Story Vertical Addition to Highland Hospital during the COVID-19 Pandemic (1 PDH) 

1. Design and Structural Engineering Solutions to Building an Addition on Top of an Operational Surgical Suite at Highland Hospital (1PDH)

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PRESENTATION: 

This presentation will highlight design and engineering solutions that could be used by engineers on similar projects.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this session is to provide a general overview of the Highland Hospital Patient Tower Addition project with an emphasis on the architectural, civil and structural issues. Engineers will gain a better understanding of solutions to common building design challenges that could be applied to future projects.
