WalterFedy provided full architectural and engineering services to Hamilton Health Sciences for the redevelopment of specialized procedure spaces at McMaster University Medical Centre (MUMC). The project included the complete demolition and reconstruction of a former GI and X-ray room and supporting area with a new dedicated air handling unit to create a new Multi-Purpose Fluoroscopy Suite and a Pediatric Sedation Suite, with supporting spaces like a scrub area serving both rooms, equipment and supply rooms, ups room, and BF universal washroom for the GI procedures. The renovation required meticulous ceiling coordination to integrate structural supports for large medical imaging equipment with demanding lighting and airflow systems, all within the constraints of MUMC’s unique interstitial service level and fire barrier separations. Additional measures included lead lining for radiation protection, spray-foam air sealing to meet strict pressure requirements, and comprehensive interior fit-outs.
In parallel, the Interventional Radiology suite was upgraded through the replacement of its imaging equipment, requiring demolition and reconfiguration of the structural and mechanical systems above the ceiling integrated into the new air handling unit. The retrofit demanded careful collaboration between client, equipment suppliers, and design disciplines to balance structural, airflow, and lighting needs within a compact ceiling zone. The project also refreshed interior finishes across procedure, control, and equipment rooms.
