The Atrium Health Pineville Cath Lab #4 project in Charlotte, North Carolina, involved the construction of a new 2,118-square-foot catheterization laboratory on the first floor of the AHP Palmetto Bed Tower. The scope required the demolition of existing operating room and staff lounge spaces, relocation of equipment storage, and significant modifications to existing systems to accommodate the new procedure room. With a total project cost of $3,801,845, the project demanded careful planning and execution to ensure the new facility would meet the client’s high standards for patient care and operational efficiency.
One of the primary challenges was working within an active healthcare environment, where minimizing disruption to ongoing hospital operations was critical. The project team faced logistical complexities, including coordinating demolition and construction activities in close proximity to sensitive clinical areas, and managing the relocation of essential equipment and staff functions. Robins & Morton addressed these challenges through a collaborative approach, establishing clear communication channels among all stakeholders, and aligning construction milestones with the hospital’s operational needs. Shared logistics, such as coordinated access, material handling, and trash disposal, were implemented to optimize efficiency and reduce interference with hospital activities.
Robins & Morton’s leadership was instrumental in the project’s success. Their experience in healthcare construction enabled them to anticipate and mitigate risks, maintain rigorous infection control standards, and ensure the safety of patients, staff, and visitors throughout the project. By fostering a culture of teamwork and shared responsibility, Robins & Morton facilitated seamless information exchange and problem-solving, resulting in a project that not only met the client’s expectations but also enhanced the hospital’s ability to deliver advanced cardiac care. The successful completion of Cath Lab #4 stands as a testament to the value of having an experienced and dedicated construction partner.
