In addition to the new casework and reconfigured support spaces, upgrades include new flooring, acoustical ceilings and paint. Existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems will be modified to accommodate the architectural changes and new head walls. The patient tower corridors will also receive upgraded finishes in the form of flooring, wall protection and paint. The corridors will receive new acoustical ceilings and lighting while the existing nurse call, fire alarm and sprinkler systems will be modified per the new ceiling layout.
