(Mr. Bartlett served as Co-Manager and Project Architect on this Project by Paul I. Cripe)

  Mr. Bartlett acted as a co-manager and project architect as an expert in existing conditions retrofit and remodel. The project entailed a complex phasing to allow uninterrupted service to patients throughout construction. The client required project’s design allow keeping number of patients served at near top capacity through the construction. Mr. Bartlett coordinated existing facility drafting and verifications, client meetings, and document production from schematic design through construction documents. He also coordinated the design team (architect, MEP engineers, and owner’s in-house architect).

The 5th floor was demanding as it transitioned through four different structures of vintages from 1910s through 1950s with numerous previous remodels within and a plethora of mechanical components. The 22-bed dialysis center served as the major focus of the project. Though challenging to work into the targeted 1910s vintage wing, Mr. Bartlett successfully integrated the complex dialysis head-ins with the vintage window arrangements through a custom design for a “tower” head-in component. Other design elements included single- and double-patient rooms, three nurse stations, offices, food preparation areas, waiting areas, and three elevator lobbies.
