3. As part of a large hospital expansion, Cone Health added custom air
handling units (AHUs) and chilled beams for 16 modern operating room
suites.

4. The Challenge
The expansion included several disparate projects performed
simultaneously to minimize downtime for the hospital. It had an
aggressive schedule with tight budget controls. McKenney’s was
chosen to manage Building Information Modeling (BIM) coordination
and had minimal onsite material storage space.
The content of this document is not intended as an endorsement.
The Solution
A focused team effort between McKenney’s, the general contractor
and handpicked sub-contractors was critical. Comprehensive BIM
planning, coordination and pipe pre-fabrication ensured expediency
and accuracy during the short construction and installation window.
The team also rented a storage facility and partnered with a local
subcontractor for additional warehouse space. Strong leadership and
partnership with local subcontractor specialists streamlined processes.

5. The Results
McKenney’s successfully completed a LEED® Silver certified facility on
schedule and on budget, landing more work on campus and in the
area.
