SAINT JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL OF ATLANTA Clinical Expansion Atlanta, Georgia The project consisted of a 2 story 44,000 sf vertical addition to an existing patient tower to accommodate 48 new inpatient beds and support and clinical functions.  The project included the relocation of the main Pharmacy, Voice and Swallowing, and other support functions.  The existing Central Sterile department was then expanded to upgrade services and accommodate increase surgical volumes. The location of the vertical addition on top of occupied patient floors.  The confined area available for construction staging created a number of challenges for the design and construction team.  The team worked very closely with hospital staff, engineering, and infection control to insure that patient safety was never compromised. The scope of work also included equipment additions and upgrades in the central energy plant to accommodate this and future additions to the hospital.
