This project included interior renovations of 31,000 SQFT of space in the existing UW Health Sciences Learning Center building. Spaces were remodeled and repurposed to be used for clinical skills assessment suites, simulated patient rooms, multi-purpose learning centers, and a silent study suite. We were responsible for the entire electrical scope including revised electrical distribution, branch power and lighting, fire alarm, low-voltage systems, and backbone and pathways to support owner-furnished AV upgrades. In addition, we provided access control improvements and electrical capital improvement work throughout the entire facility. This project had added complexity as it needed to be specially sequenced and completed in phases to maintain the owner’s deadline for an accreditation visit for these new improvements.
