Description

The MUSC Children’s Health R. Keith Summey Medical Pavilion is the home to the Children’s Ambulatory Surgical Center. It offers comprehensive specialty clinics, outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging, infusion procedures, and includes support services such as lab and pharmacy. The 100,000 square foot facility located in North Charleston has been designed exclusively for the treatment of children, Cost approximately $50 million to construct and opened in spring of 2019.

The CAC building utility services include chilled water generated by roof mounted air cooled chillers and heating hot water from multiple high efficiency condensing boilers located in a mechanical room. Multiple air handling units serve terminal units with hot water reheat located throughout the space. Space pressure is actively controlled and maintained in critical spaces such as operating rooms and the pharmacy.

Normal electrical distribution is provided by SCE&G to a pad mounted 15KV utility transformer. Power is stepped down to 480V and utilized within the building for various equipment, including, but not limited lighting, motor loads, imaging modalities. This power further stepped down for receptacle use and other 120V/208V loads via appropriate transformers mounted within the building. Emergency power for the CAC is produced locally via a 1750KW generator.

Additional building services include central medical vacuum and compressed medical air, piped medical gases, fire protection and detection, storm and sanitary sewer systems.

KLG Jones provided full commissioning services for the mechanical systems, including the creation of functional performance tests specific to each piece of equipment. All of the test and balance work was validated through random sampling techniques.
