Vantage Builders transformed a former Emergency Department into a new vein and phlebotomy center at the North Shore Medical Center Salem campus. Given the nature of the work being done, proper floorplan layout and equipment placement were critical to the success of the project. Vantage Builders met with a team of end users that included doctors and nurses on the vein and phlebotomy team to ensure that their needs were met. The center consists of multiple exam rooms, lab space and infusion areas. Four new exam bays were created and outfitted with medical equipment including CO2, oxygen, and Medical Vacuum. Existing bays were expanded to provide a more accessible atmosphere for patient care. Vantage also prepped two future operating rooms with lead-lined walls to ensure that they would be safe for X-ray procedures. The project included heavy plumbing work, requiring 19 individual cores to be drilled into the lower floor for a new draining station. Importantly, work was completed during off-hours so as to not disrupt the office space below.
