The Challenges
Paradigm was selected by Caritas St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center for the complete renovation of eleven (11) operating rooms including all finishes, fire protection, plumbing, med gases, HVAC, electrical and fire alarm. Also installed owner furnished items such as stainless steel recessed cabinets and assisted with their outside vendors. A phased schedule was needed in order to keep the necessary operating rooms open during the renovation over a 16 month period. One of the OR Suites was customized to accommodate Caritas St Elizabeth’s Medical Centers introduction of their first Da Vinci Surgical Suite. In 16 months of renovation in all operating rooms and cove there were zero infractions from safety or the Infection Control team.
