As owners reimagine existing facilities to serve healthcare clients, they frequently renovate spaces previously used for normal business occupancy into licensed healthcare spaces. This transformation necessitates more complex mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems, requires conformance to additional codes, and can create unforeseen impacts and expense. This presentation will demonstrate the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and life safety requirements of licensed healthcare spaces. It will also explain the impact of these system requirements on the programmatic and architectural elements of these space conversions. Finally, it will help participants anticipate how these MEP requirements could affect the existing building infrastructure, in addition to the space being renovated and licensed.
