The M.T. Mustian Center at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital is a seven-story, 340,000 sq ft surgical tower and 13,000 sq ft central energy plant on Tallahassee Memorial’s existing campus. The new tower ties into the existing hospital and features 72 ICU rooms that include the region’s only Vogter Neuro ICU, a cardiopulmonary ICU, a cardiovascular surgical ICU, 28 operating rooms, 4 interventional operating rooms for neurosurgical and vascular procedures, and a hybrid operating room. The project also includes 72 preoperative rooms and 50 post-anesthesia care bays. The basement houses the hospital’s materials management and sterile processing departments.

The building is designed to accommodate the hospital’s future growth and includes an ICU tower designed to accommodate two future floors. Also included are innovations such as a central corridor to eliminate staff noise in patient and visitor areas. The facility features two Hänel Lean-Lift storage systems, which the hospital will use to transport supplies from the sterile processing department to operating rooms on different floors. The systems are the first of their kind installed in a U.S. hospital.

The project team assisted the owner with equipment procurement, installation, and commissioning the building prior to its opening. The hospital remained fully operational and easily accessible throughout the construction process.
