The Fanny Meisler Trauma Center is approximately 27,000 square feet, nearly triple the amount of space in the current University Hospital emergency department.  The project incorporated predictive analysis and lean design concepts to increase efficiency, maximize space, and reduce overall size and cost. The scope included 22 general exam rooms including accommodations for pediatric, bariatric and other specific patient needs. There are also 4 High Acuity Treatment Spaces, 3 Trauma/ Resuscitation Rooms, 4 Flexible Rooms that can also be used for Behavioral Health patients and 2 Isolation Rooms. An Imaging area is provided directly adjacent to the department and Trauma Rooms for CT Scans and other General Radiology Exams.

Dell Consulting provided mechanical, electrical distribution, lighting, plumbing, medical gas, fire alarm, nurse call, communications, access control, security, speech privacy and information technology infrastructure for the facility.

The Fire Alarm System is an existing Voice Evacuation system.  The new Trauma Center was interconnected to the existing system via fiber with a completely compatible intelligent system for seamless fire alarm system operation.

All work performed in accordance with the requirements of the Alabama Department of Public Health and all applicable Codes.
