Azar Design Co was contracted to provide subconsultant design services for a new 3 floor, 92,000 sf medical building. Under multiple contracts, Azar handled architectural, M/E/P, structural coordination, and traditional construction administration services for:

      · Core and Shell for the owner of the building – Central Utica Building, LLC (CUB)

      · Programming of medical suites and offices for Central New York Cardiology (CNYC)

      · Programming for smaller and future out-patient tenants

Architects met with CUB/CNYC team members to understand the goals and programming requirements. Our team prepared core and shell drawings as well as programming spaces for imaging, phlebotomy, pharmacy, cariology, endoscopy, and neurology areas along with related office spaces.

Azar’s Building Systems Engineering team prepared engineering plans for two rooftop AC units (air-cooled & packaged) with gas heat connected to medium pressure supply via VAV boxes and low-pressure return vertical duct risers. Additionally, two toilet exhaust fans were designed for the roof with connection to vertical duct risers with capped branch ducts in individual tenant spaces and group of restrooms on each floor.

Azar also provided phasing & enabling design, interior construction, equipment, and systems design services, as well as overall coordination between consultants including additional site/civil design professionals.

Coordination was a critical factor in the project due to a highly complex nature of the design and building regulations involving both the building owner and the various tenants who occupy the spaces.
