University Community MOB Carrollwood

A five-story addition to the University Community Hospital, Carrollwood Campus, which hosts four new state of the art surgery rooms, recovery rooms, ICU areas. The surgery rooms’ layout given the required minimum requested of 700 square feet area could not be fitted within the area between the existing buildings. A decision was made to partially demolish almost half of the existing two story building and MCE engineers had to develop a structural support frame to provide support to the remaining portion of the building and allow the demolition of the section that was required for the new building while the building remain in use. The structural frame to support the building had to be built inside the building before any demolition was done; minimum temporary shoring was allowed because the remaining portion of the building was in use and remained in use thru out the entire process of building the new added frame and the demolition process.
