Methodist Culebra Freestanding Emergency Department

Methodist Culebra FSED is a 10,500 SF freestanding emergency department for HCA and operated by Methodist. The project consists of a ground up 10,500 SF steel and light gauge framing structure. This site work included cutting the existing grade by 15 feet to level the site. Underground utilities were installed for both the project and future development, as well as two drive through canopies, a parking lot, a TXDOT sidewalk, and landscaping. The MEP systems include a packaged air handler unit, medical gas system, nurse call, patient monitoring, exhaust fans, boilers, generator, all required electrical systems for the space, and a building management system. One unique aspect of this project is the coordination of the headwall rough-in at all exam rooms. Due to the light gauge framing, the med gas, power, data, and patient monitoring had to be closely coordinated and adjusted to be installed at the proper locations per design. The project was completed and turned over to Methodist in eight months.
