Revolutionizing Spaces, Embracing Innovation

MMA is skilled at designing technologically complex environments in antiquated spaces. Accommodating new Philips Allura bi-plane systems, with overhead rolling weights comparable to that of a small car, in low 12-foot floor-to-floor heights with insufficient structural capacity to carry the load is MMA’s specialty. The final design is not perceived as a renovation at all but instead appropriately as a flagship service line of the hospital. MMA, with its history of accomplishing technically challenging initiatives, had to assure the owner in the first two weeks of the engagement that the new technologies would work in their 1966-era building. Going beyond just meeting the demanding parameters of this project, MMA also showed hospital leadership how non-invasive diagnostics could be connected to the labs and to the Emergency Department below.
