Specifications include, but are not limited to: Grady intends to remove offices, research space and other soft spaces from the Northward edge of the existing Lab. Additionally all non-critical offices will be relocated to another area within the hospital to reduce cross traffic and decompress lab areas as we prepare for a major modernization. Phase 1 Core Lab, Hematology, & specimen receiving Grady has purchase a new Automation line and intends to place this new automation line within the Northward edge. To prepare for this transformation the space will receive a full gut renovation from the Northward edge all of the way to the interior circulation corridor. New space will be rebuilt to the concept plan shown installing OPCI utility walls to allow critical utilities to be brought to the testing areas and OPOI benching will connect along the length of the walls. Life Safety Grady intends to extend the two flanking corridors from the main circulation corridor out to the edge of the building connecting this space to two existing exterior egressing stair towers. The stair towers were built in the late 1990’s as part of an effort to have the high rise building comply due to original internal exiting stair towers, but the stair towers were not connected during its construction due to the impacts to the original lab layout. This can be part of phase 1 or 2 depending on AEC team input and GRADY and state fire marshall approvals.
