Western State Hospital Campus Building 29 Forensic Ward Renovation

Modernization of Western State Hospital's Building 29 Wings E3 & E4, to forensic wards including patient, interview, exam, group, therapy, dining, and activity rooms. While preserving systems that could be reused, Greenbusch supported the design team/owner providing: Engineering predesign study; defined mechanical scope of work and cost estimates inclusive of ancillary power, utility and mechanical upgrade requirements; performed final design to LEED Silver standards.

Acoustic recommendations including: 1) Construction necessary to provide adequate sound isolation throughout various rooms; 2) To control crosstalk between spaces; 3) Performance specification for durable surface finishes to control noise and reverberation throughout; and 4) Recommendations for silencing of duct born fan noise and control of noise generated by mechanical systems within the building.
