KIMMEL PROGRAM: Early Infrastructure Work

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Constructing the new Kimmel Pavilion acute care facility and Energy Building (which together comprise the Kimmel Program) is a huge undertaking, requiring sweeping changes to the north end of NYU Langone Medical Center's main campus, including demolishing four existing buildings.

This task has begun with the relatively small but critical steps of relocating existing campus infrastructure to enable the large-scale demolitions, excavation and construction activity to follow. Collectively, these steps make up the Early Infrastructure Work.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Relocation of: 

• North Service Wing electrical and mechanical equipment
• Emergency power transfer equipment
• Fire alarm and medical gas panels
• The campus's natural gas service line
• IT service's point of entry
• The Medical Center's bulk oxygen storage system

• Initial demolition activities to clear the Service Yard site so that foundation building for the Energy Building can start

• Creation and implementation of a complex plan for interim materials management, to assure that the campus's system for receiving materials, and for staging and removing waste, can continue to function fully and efficiently during construction

LOCATION

North and east ends of the Medical Center's main campus, in and around the former Gimbel Garden between the Auxiliary Pavilion, North Service Wing, Tisch/Milhauser Labs and the Rusk Building; and in the Service Yard, which abuts the FDR Drive and is adjacent to Tisch Hospital, Coles Student Laboratories and the North Service Wing
