| In 1991, Summit Medical Center in Frisco,
Colorado required a two Operating Room addition with four additional holding
beds. Above is one of two Operating Rooms, both with a view to the
mountains, for orthopedic procedures.
Very few ORs have windows due to the complexity
of condensation, sterility and sun control. These were handled with
custom triple glazed window units with dual thermal breaks and integral
blinds. Thus, orthopedic procedures using epidural anesthesia allow
the patient to enjoy the beauty of the surrounding hillside during surgery.
Below left is the soiled utility room and
to the right is the post-op recovery room. The addition and alterations
were done for a construction cost of $1.5 million. |
