Overview

As the leading children’s hospital at treating childhood cancer and pediatrics disease, the need for expansion was necessary to provide better services and further research. St. Jude’s main campus in Tennessee set forth on an expansion with the addition of two 16-story buildings: one a clinical office building (COB) and the other an outpatient clinic (OPC). The project includes 251 patient rooms, a mechanical penthouse, two levels of underground parking garage, two-story connector bridge, and three-story underground hall that connects all buildings on campus.

TLC provided low voltage consulting, including audio-visual, voice-data, and security for the full project. The project scope includes technology visioning session and assistance with technology procurement. The 596,000 square foot COB has 16 floors of office space. The outpatient clinical tower contains 14 discrete clinics. The OPC is 700,000 square feet with specialty clinics, exam rooms, laboratory, blood bank, shell space for future use, and has office space on the upper floors.

To provide the best technologies for St. Jude’s staff and patients, TLC organized a vendor fair for end-users to physically see and test out products. TLC coordinated with the owner’s team, architect, and vendors to compile a list of the most beneficial technologies that the users’ needs. After listening to these requests and discussing which standards the users want to work with, a suite on-site was transformed into several stations with mock-ups of equipment. In preparation for this event, TLC pulled elevations, created renderings, and assisted with install.
