Harbor Hospital / NIA MRI

Baltimore, Maryland

A new 2,150 sf, one-story addition to house a new 3T MRI and its Control and Support Spaces. The site for this project included an existing unexcavated portion of the Hospital Basement and adjacent undeveloped land along the Baltimore waterfront. The new structure is reinforced concrete masonry with a pre-cast concrete roof structure designed to support the weight of ambulances and fire engine at the Emergency Entrance immediately above the site. Deep foundations were required due to existing fill along the shoreline.

Although our Client and the Owner of the building is Harbor Hospital, the space and the MRI are leased to the National Institute on Aging (NIA). Our design needed to meet the requirements of both the owner and the using agency, while meeting the technical and shielding requirements of the MRI supplier.

Project Area: 2,150 gsf
