RobsonWoese provided mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and construction administration services for SUNY Upstate Medical University's Institute of Human Performance (IHP), a 192,000-sq. ft. four-story center.

This new addition to the University's campus accommodates many unique spaces, including outpatient clinics, MRI facility, indoor track, swimming pool and more than 60 medical research laboratories. Special features for the design of HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, and security systems included 13.2 kV electrical service with substations, central boiler and chiller plants, 200,000 cfm HVAC system and specialty plumbing systems.

The nine-story, 500,000 SF new Main Hospital opened in the spring of 1998. The four-phase $241 million modernization project involved substantial replacement of all clinical facilities.

RW designed the 6,000-ton chilled water plant, the new 23 kV main substation with 3750/5250 kVA rated transformers, a 210,000 lb/hr HPS power plant, and the campus wide security system to tie all outlying buildings on the RCPI Campus to the new Security Office in the new Main Hospital Building. The security system consists of TV cameras, monitors, cabling, door access controls and miscellaneous alarms from remote buildings. The design also included tie-ins from remote building fire alarm systems with a new interface to the Buffalo Fire Department.

Fire protection systems included multiple electric fire pumps, sprinkler, standpipe and preaction systems. Systems were integrated with smoke control and fire alarm systems to produce a fully coordinated fire protection system.
