Renovation of a medical facility in Lethbridge, Alberta. Completed plans call for the renovation of a medical facility.

The Work involves the renovation of the Inpatient Unit, Medical Devices and Reprocessing Department (MDRD), Surgical Operating Rooms, and Environmental Services. Inpatient Unit: The ASI project scope at LCRH includes the development of five additional surgical private inpatient rooms, i.e. 1 Bariatric/Special Needs, 1 Airborne Isolation, 1 Bariatric/Special Needs and Airborne Isolation, and 2 Private Inpatient Room. This component identifies the functional and space requirements for these five new bedrooms, based on the assumption they will be 'attached' to an existing inpatient unit. For the purposes of the Functional Program, no additional support functions or spaces are identified that operationally may be required to support these beds in the future. Medical Devices Reprocessing Department (MDRD): The ASI project at LCRH encompasses the redevelopment/expansion of specific areas within the Medical Device Reprocessing Department (MDRD) that will be impacted. The increased surgical capacity in orthopedics, etc. (i.e. about 8% growth in cases) will require infrastructure and equipment upgrades to the existing MDRD facility. This mainly comprises an additional washer and sterilizer to support the increase in surgical case volume, as well as the impact on the daily volume of case carts, sterile supplies, instruments, etc. This component identifies the functional and space requirements for the impacted functions and areas in the MDRD. Surgical Operating Rooms: The ASI project scope at LCRH includes the development of two new operating rooms (ORs) built to current design standards. One new OR involves the conversion of two existing smaller ORs (#2 and #3) into one larger OR. The other new OR involves the conversion of a portion of Surgical Suite support space into the new OR. The scope of work also includes renovations to areas impacted by the development of the two new ORs including the Women's Locker Room (relocated), Men's Locker Room (cart storage), Surgical Suite corridor, a smaller increase to the Sterile Core space, and other Women's Locker Room (replacement of lockers). Environmental Services: The increased surgical capacity (i.e. approximately an 8% increase in cases) will require infrastructure and equipment upgrades to the existing MDRD facility, and the need to expand the MDRD footprint that will encroach into the adjacent Environmental Services. The project value listed reflects the total project estimate.
