Halifax Infirmary
Queen Elizabeth II Health Science Centre
- Halifax, N.S.
Consulting engineers work with a variety of products,
from computer aided design and drafting software to concrete slabs.
These products often support other practices and professions where
subtlety and a new kind of precision are essential. In the field
of medicine and patient care, such as with the new Halifax Infirmary,
vibration sensitive hospital equipment must have solid support.
The structure must be robust and meet the stringent requirements
imposed by a hospital. To be confident these requirements, and
others, would be met, the client relied on BMR.
The new Halifax Infirmary is an enormous 770,000
square foot structure. It consists of nine storeys and several
links and tunnels connecting the new structure to the existing
buildings in the Queen Elizabeth II Health Science Centre complex.
There is a large mechanical penthouse on the main roof and several
smaller mechanical penthouses on the intermediate roofs. These
provide the necessary space for the demanding requirements of
the mechanical systems in a world class hospital.
